Tinnitus: Many health conditions can cause or worsen tinnitus. In many cases, an exact cause is never found. A common cause of tinnitus is inner ear cell damage. Tiny, delicate hairs in your inner ear move in relation to the pressure of sound waves. This triggers ear cells to release an electrical signal through nerve from your ear (auditory nerve) to your brain. Your brain interprets these signal as sound

Ringing in ears: Tinnitus is very common and typically a problem especially in a quiet room at night. You need to make sure there is no wax or fluid. I would not invest in any of the OTC remedies---your body will probably accomodate well if you play some background music at night

Tinnitus.: High blood pressure , atypical meniere's disease, migraine, viral infection of the inner ear may the cause of this and needs to be ruled out. Sometimes the cause is never found. See your doctor. Good luck.

Ringing in the ears: Ringing in the ears, known as tinnitus, can be very troublesome. Get an evaluation by a specialist - an audiologist or an ENT (ear/nose/throat) physician. The cause should be determined first, then a treatment prescribed. Causes include, chronic infection, prolonged exposure to loud noises, or certain antibiotics (aminoglycosides).
