Question 1

i have mild tinnitus, but some days i wake up with really loud ringing in my ears. its not from a noisy environment. seems to correlate to poor sleep, but not always. today they are howling. no meds last night. suggestions? to control or minimize?

Accepted Answer

SEVERAL OPTIONS: Tinnitus is a tough one. No clear treatment if it is primary so look for any causes. Do you do a lot of aspirin? Are you exposed to loud sounds? Try to make sue that you get rest, eat healthy , and exercise. See a physician to evaluate for tinnitus and Meniers's Disease.

Question 2

acute ringing in ear (tinnitus) last 24 hrs.  also weird "buzzing" sensation in head.  not quite vertigo though.  does this sound like meniere's ?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus: Tinnitus or "ringing" or "buzzing" in the ears are common symptoms which can be short lived or chronic.  It is associated with hearing loss.  Sudden onset tinnitus can occur in patients with noise exposure or ear infections.  If symptoms persist or worsen over 3 or more weeks, it is recommended to see your doctor for an evaluation.  In the absence of vertigo Meniere's is less likely.

Question 3

sis-in-law,42, 2nd shot of moderna on 03/29.fatigue and dizziness after that.last few days,mild migraine,ears ringing, buzz. head.found uti@ home. saw doc,bl/ur tests fine.antibio-5 d. history of migraine/tinnitus.was fine before vaccine. any advice?

Accepted Answer

: I'm not convinced that her symptoms,which are nonspecific, are vaccine induced. I also note that the migraine&amp;tinnitus are not new symptoms.  I don't understand the rationale for antibiotics if her urine test was fine. I would reassure her that she will return to her baseline health status soon.

Question 4

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 5

hi i just read the ringing in ears is due to tinnitus.any medicine, drop that can make it better.what can i do now!!!

Accepted Answer

Investigate.: There's really no medication, sight unseen, that can help tinnitus universally.  If your tinnitus is due to inflammation, then there may be a medication that can help.  If your tinnitus is due to damage, then this may be permanent.  We won't know for sure without an investigation by an ENT physician.

Question 6

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 7

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.

Question 8

could it be that a flu shot would cause tinnitus or ringing in the ears?

Accepted Answer

No there  no evidenc: No there is no evidence that it does cause tinnitus.

Question 9

what do i do to get rid of ears ringing with tinnitus remedies?

Accepted Answer

Teeth clenching??: One of the reasons for tinnitus - ringing in the ears - is teeth clenching.  Trigeminal nerve that controls jaw closing muscles also has a branch that controls tensor tympani muscle that controls ear drum tension.  Hence the connection.  Have an evaluation by a dentists with expertise in treating temporo mandibular dysfunction (tmd) to check this.

Question 10

what is the probability that my tinnitus (ringing in the ear) will go away?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on whether you are expecting it to be truly gone or if you are okay with being apathetic to it.  It will never go away. Background noise to drown it out will make you apathetic to it. 75% chance that this will happen.
