Question 1

i've developed tinnitus primarily in my left ear which started about two weeks ago and has been getting progressively worse. it's a very high pitched ringing, and when i clench my jaw on the left side it gets noticeably louder. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus: You should have a hearing test and be seen by an ENT doctor.  It is possible your TMJ (jaw joint) could be causing  the tinnitus issue.

Question 2

can vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) or concerta cause ringing in the ears? just found out minocycline caused my tinnitus and now am wondering about adhd meds.

Accepted Answer

Side effects: Never heard this complaint in my practice regarding treatment with Vyvance or Concerta. However, tinnitus is a relatively common symptom and it can be recurrent. At times, exposing to loud noises, diving or some medications can be the triggers. Check with your doctor about other possible causes that he might have identified in your medical history.

Question 3

have had a ringing ear for about a week now. also had a sore throat where the last few days i have mucas which i cough which i spit out/swallow. is this a concern or should it clear up soon?

Accepted Answer

: You should see an ENT specialist if these symptoms continue. Your ears and throat are blocked and congested and need to be examined.

Question 4

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 5

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 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

is it possible to get ringing ear while you are deaf?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Ringing can ocur whether the inner ear or the hearing nerve is disturbed. That is the source of the ringing is no just from the inner ear or hearing nerve, but rather the entire hearing system from your inner ear all the way to areas in your brain.

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.
