Time to visit: an EAR NOSE THROAT (ENT) specialist who may refer you to  an AUDIOLOGIST . There are methods using hearing aids  to reduce or eliminate these annoying sounds,  (often the tinnitus is a symptom of early hearing loss)  Hope this is helpful!

Question 4

if tinnitus was caused by a medication/s then should it disappear when the medication stops (been more than 1 year)?  -risperidone, cetalipram

Accepted Answer

Maybe: I know that's unsatisfying - but true. Most providers say it should go away or diminish greatly. But 'may' is not for sure. It also could be that there's other reasons for it too and they remain after side effects are gone. Be examined for the simple wax type causes and ask that provider for ideas. Psych (and other) meds have side effects. Only use w/ care. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus

Question 5

Accepted Answer

ENT doctor can help: A person with such symptoms can check her hearing by seeing and ENT doctor and an audiologist. She can call her primary care doctor to explain why she wants to check her hearing.

Question 7

what can ne done for tinnitus?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to get rid: Tinnitus is a buzzing sensation coming from the ear. First you need to rule out any external ear problem such as wax, bacterial or fungal infection etc. If it not, then the problem can be with inner ear. You may have to see an ENT specialist for this. Generally it is difficult to control.

Very loud: It can be very very loud, but that only happens in rare instances.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Encourage: Audiology and ear/nose/throat evaluation to see if the cause can be determined and addressed. Take care.

Question 10

what could cause a permanent tinnitus?

Accepted Answer

Hearing damage: Tinnitus is ringing in the ears caused by damage to the hearing nerve. It can come from a one-time event (rock concert) or multiple events over time. It is typically heard at the frequency of the damage. It is essentially the brain thinking it heard a sound at that frequency when there is no sound. The brain hears it because of the damage and does not always resolve
treatment is not very effective.
