This has happened to me. I finally discovered that there was a buildup of ear wax that had gotten so bad it completely filled the ear canal. The only way to get it out that I found is ear wax drops you can get at a drugstore. It usually takes a day or two of putting the drops in and flushing with water. It takes so long its easy to think it isn't working. When it finally comes out it is a huge relief!
Good luck!

In tinnitus, the sounds a person hears are actually perceptions. Since there's no actual source, they are often referred to as "phantom noises". I read that about 8% of all people in the US suffer from tinnitus so you are not the only one who hears these strange noises.
Tinnitus is actually not a disease. It is actually a symptom of a problem that is rooted deep, somewhere within your body. The problem could be a simple one like an infection in the ear, or even simpler, such as ear wax. Just clear the wax and get the infection treated, and the noises could go away. In some people, it could even be the result of a side-effect of a drug they took. Or it could be more complicated.
If you want to know more about this condition and wnat to learn how to solve naturally your problems with these annoying noises you should read this ebook: http://tinnitus.toptips.org
It helped me a lot.

Try the peroxide again. Sometimes it takes a while for the peroxide to penetrate the wax. Give it at least 3 to 5 minutes. If that doesn't do the trick, you may need to see the doc, but try a decongestant before calling.

I would suggest ear wax remover and a cleaning kit. Of course it could be caused from a poor choice of music. Have you been listening to the heavy bass rhetoric?

Could be ear wax buildup. See your Doctor.

See a Dr. You could have a wax build-up. Do not use a Q-tip. It will make it worse.
