Question 1

i have tingling sensation on my face especially on temples. temples itch a lot. also on and off headaches and feeling of suffocation especially at night. and occasional ringing in ears. i had a previous history of head injuries.

Accepted Answer

Tingling,headaches: I believe there is a strong element of stress and anxiety in your symptoms. You could consult a neurologist for evaluation to be sure. Nevertheless, I recommend stress management therapy which I think will be quite helpful for you.

Question 2

what can cause dizziness, followed by vertigo and vomiting? happens mostly after eating, or turning my head left or right. occasional ringing in ears.

Accepted Answer

Sounds inner ear: Although it is unusual to have vertigo after eating, the presence of true spinning with head movements sounds like Benign positional vertigo.  This is the most common cause of inner ear vertigo and can be treated with physical therapy by a trained PT with expertise in vestibular therapy.

Question 3

what could cause an occasional ringing in the ear?

Accepted Answer

Variety of causes: Ringing in the ears - tinnitus - can be caused by aging, medications (aspirin is common), primary ear problems, blood vessels, and more. Occasional ringing may not be a concern, but if it is persistent and related to other symptoms (balance, hearing, vertigo) it should be evaluated by an ent. Hope this helps.

Question 4

Pinched nerve: Occurs when too much pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues. The common symptoms are numbness, sharp, aching or burning pain, which may radiate outward to your ear, eye, pharynx and lips. Treatment: physical therapy, medications, cognitive behavioral therapy and acupuncture. The treatment is usually effective. Rec.: see a pain management specialist.

ETD: Can be eustachian tube dysfunction from any number of causes . If it becomes constant or last days see your doctor.

Question 8

i have this ringing ears almost two months, does anybody know how to stop ringing in ears?

Accepted Answer

Teeth clenching??: Tinnitus - ringing in the ears - could be from many causes including exposure to very loud sounds.  One of the reasons is from teeth clenching.  The same nerve - trigeminal nerve - that controls the jaw closing muscles also has a branch that controls tensor tympani muscle that controls tension of the ear drum.  Hence the connection.  Have an evalution by a dentist expert in treating tmd to check.

Question 9

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 10

i have mild pulsatile tinnitus. taking a med with low risk of "ringing in ears". no difference so far on the pulsatile. is the med safe to be taken?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus: Pulsatile tinnitus is usually caused a blood traveling through an artery around or near the ear.  Is the medicine you are taking suppose to stop the tinnitus?  IF you are asking if it will cause more pulsatile tinnitus, it is hard to answer that without knowing what the medicine is you are taking. Different medications more apt to cause tinnitus than others.
