Sometimes it's a loud roar & sometimes a soft rushing sound, but it's always there.

Below is an article explaining in detail about tinnitus. Or ringing in the ears. I can tell you that listening to music with headphones at a low volume helps with this and can let you sleep. To diagnose the exact cause of your problem, you need to see a doctor. Causes can be mild to very serious.

I got my problem, years ago in the 70's, working in car garages, before OSHA said to wear ear protection. now, mine is permanent, and the older I get, the worse it is. I am slowly going completely deaf and cannot do anything about it. there is no cure. and being in my 50's, I have more years behind me than i have in front of me. hopefully YOUR problem can be medically helped. SOME cases are temporary. mine is not.
SE A DOCTOR and get off yahoo.

You should probably ask a doctor and look around on the internet when i looked all i found was a description of tinnitus im so sorry i cant help you but I really think you should ask a doctor or your family and friends or your school nurse ( if you go to school that is).

I do not believe there is a cure. I get it once in a while. I find by not thinking about it, your brain won't aknowledge it. As soon as you start to focus on the sound of it it'll be there. Find something busy to o to keep your mind focused on something else.

Hi Micki
Here are some action ideas to get healed.
Causes of Hearing Disorders
Among the most common causes of hearing disorders are allergies, antibiotic and other drug use, the buildup of earwax, infection and inflammation, and chronic exposure to loud noises.
Quick Action Plan for Hearing Disorders
1. Clean your ears regularly, using cotton swabs, but do so gently to avoid damaging ear tissue.
2. Avoid exposure to loud noises. If you work in a noisy environment, wear earplugs or earmuffs to protect your ears.
3. Be screened for both food and environmental allergies. A highly effective method for detecting allergies is electrodermal screening (EDS).
4. To eliminate allergies, consider enzyme-potentiated desensitization (EPD).
5. Emphasize a diet rich in organic whole foods, especially plenty of fresh, organic vegetables, along with garlic and onions to boost immunity. Also eat high quality protein foods, such as organic free-range meats, poultry and wild-caught fish.
6. Avoid all foods to which you are allergic or sensitive, and eliminate all commercially processed foods, as well as sugar, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, and caffeine, and all food additives, colorings, and preservatives.
7. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day. Gallon a day!
8. For hearing problems related to structural imbalances in the skull, craniosacral therapy can be highly effective, particularly for otitis media.
9. Useful nutrients for hearing problems include vitamin A, beta carotene, B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, MSM, and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). Acidophilus supplements are also recommended to prevent infection and systemic yeast overgrowth (candiasis).
10. Useful herbs include Echinacea, ginkgo biloba, goldenseal, hypericum, and St. John’s wort. Drops of tea tree oil and diluted grapeseed extracts inserted in the ear via an eye dropper can also be helpful.
11. Useful homeopathic remedies include Aconite, Apis mellifica, Belladonna, Chamomilla, Ferrum, phos., Lycopodium, Merc. Sol., Pulsatilla, and Silicea.
12. To help protect infants from developing hearing problems related to infections and allergies, breastfeeding for at least their first six months of life is recommended.
13. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, most hearing disorders are related to imbalances in the kidney meridian system. Rebalancing kidney energies using acupuncture and Chinese herbs can often resolve hearing problems.
14. Auditory integration training, such as the Tomatis Method, can be highly effective for resolving hearing problems related to hypersensitivity to high frequency sounds.
Best of health to you

try not to get too stressed by it. most cases of it go away in around 18 months, so until then, its just a matter of getting used to it,and accepting it. it certainly wouldn't hurt to see an ear, nose and throat specialist.

go to a neurologist. They can usually find the reason for it and quiet it down
