Question 1

what could cause sudden ear ringing?

Accepted Answer

Telephone?: (sorry, kidding). Inner ear pressure change; medications; some infections; no reason (= idiopathic tinnitus); trauma...Lots of potential reasons. Majority are relatively short-lived. If persists or is very annoying, see ENT dr or neurologist.

Question 2

left ear ringing?

Accepted Answer

POSSIBILITIES : Include wax against your eardrum, fluid behind the ear drum from eustachian tube dysfunction or postnasal drip, and the start of hearing loss.

Question 3

what can i do about my ear ringing?

Accepted Answer

See ENT: Most common cause for ringing in the ear is hearing loss. Should have your hearing checked and ears examined. No medicine or surgery has been shown to reliably get rid of ringing but many factors may exacerbate including caffeine, nicotine, large amounts of salt in diet, and aspirin.

Question 4

how can i stop ear ringing? i am a singer.

Accepted Answer

You can't: The question is raised many times by patients.  Tinnitus or "ringing in the ear" is shared by millions of people.  There is no treatment unless one knows a specific diagnosis.  For example, impacted wax, middle ear fluid, inner ear abnormalities, otosclerosis may be correctable.  But in the presence of normal hearing and no ear disease, there is no acceptable treatment.  The symptom may disappear.

Question 5

does adderoll xr or its generic equivalent cause ear ringing?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: That is not a common side effect.  But meds that affect the brain can have unique effects in people. Amphetamine is a stimulant, and the excitatory effects may be causing neurons to fire somewhere in the auditory circuits, giving such a sensation. I would expect it to happen either at high doses, or during the first week or two of starting the medication.

Question 6

what do you reccomend to do for tinnitus (ringing in the ears)?

Accepted Answer

Tough problem: Sometimes it is as simple as too much wax in the ears, so an easy first step is to see your pcp to get your ears examined.  Assuming you are wax free, it is worth a visit to an ear nose and throat doctor and/or audiologist to see if you have any hearing loss.  Hearing loss is the most common cause of tinnitus- basically- the background noise is now audible rather than drowned out by normal hearing.

Question 7

ear ringing for almost a week and feeling clogged, what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Maintaining tinnitus is often the best that some treatments provide.  Determining the cause of tinnitus is difficult.  Start with a very thorough history and exam with your doctor.  Keeping a home diary of the ringing events, or what may increase it or decrease would be valuable- write down your what you are eating, pain if any, what ear/ears, lying down or upright.  The supplement ginkgo may help.

Question 8

what is it like to have success with a tinnitus (ringing in the ears) cure?

Accepted Answer

Happiness: If you have had relief of your tinnitus, then I would assume that you would be happy.  But maybe, the question is more about HOW to get a cure for the perception of sound in your ear (tinnitus)?  There is no medicine or surgery at the present time to resolve tinnitus except masking and learning live with it.  Most important is to make sure you do not have any serious peripheral or central problem.

Question 9

experiencing random high pitch ear ringing with what feels like a fullness on the left ear. it happened out of nowhere. could this resolve itself?

Accepted Answer

: This is tinnitus &amp; it may be fleeting or may be persistent. It could be from wax buildup in the ear canal or.be due to inner ear causes, although vertigo often accompanies.these.  If it persists have a physician examine your ear with an otoscope and then advise you. You may possibly be referred to an ENT specialist.

Question 10

my son had big expose to noise today and having ringing ear on the left side, may this be tinnitus?  how can i know is not something severe ? (age: 12)

Accepted Answer

Do not be alarmed: The ringing in the ear is tinnitus and very likely from your son's exposure to the loud noise but if exposure is not chronic as suggested by your history, it is not likely to cause permanent damage. Please consult with any of the ENT in the network if ringing persists after 24 to 48hrs for further advise. Take care and stay healthy.
