Question 9

I have always had the chirping sounds in my ears, but now one ear has developed more of a low roaring sound.  it is very annoying at night?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, there's no cure for tinnitus. However, fortunately it's not a fatal condition. Consider seeing an ENT specialist esp. If it's accompanied by hearing loss, dizziness, headache, passing out etc. Perhaps exposure to loud or soft. Constant noise at your workplace or noise may have contributed to your condition.
