Also when you push below your ear on your neck your actually reducing the blood flow past your ear in turn reducing the sound.

I have been to many doctors and have yet to find any relief. I tried the Arches Tinnitus Formulas...worthless waste of money if you ask me. I am debating on trying a supplement from T-Gone Remedies but I’m not sure yet. I think my ringing is caused from loud noises and sinus problems. I find that I have days that are worse than others and that the ringing is made worse by loud noises and cold weather. I know this really doesn’t answer your question but I just wanted you to know I am in the same boat . Good luck I am 26 and I have had a very high pitched ringing in both ears since I was 16.

I would see a specialist instead of asking people on Yahoo, just a suggestion.

Other causes include hypertension, hypernatremia, aspirin overdose, trauma, otitis media and inner ear structural disturbances. Idiopathic means no known cause and there's no treatment for that. Some have used white noise at night to aid in sleeping but idiopathic tinnitus can't be cured. One learns to live with it. With the other types, treat the cause and the tinnitus is usually resolved. My suggestion is that you get referred to an ENT to determine the cause. It would depend on the cause of the tinnitus and unfortunately. most is idiopathic.

]]> Comment on why is it after i wear ear plugs my tinnitus gets worse? by a l http://www.stopringingears.net/why-is-it-after-i-wear-ear-plugs-my-tinnitus-gets-worse/comment-page-1/#comment-334 a l Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:46:26 +0000 http://www.stopringingears.net/why-is-it-after-i-wear-ear-plugs-my-tinnitus-gets-worse/#comment-334 When you wear ear plugs, you end up hearing tinnitus more clearly because there is less background noise. Your attention can latch onto that frequency when you are consciously trying to avoid some other sounds and you are able to hear the tinnitus clearer (like when wearing earplugs and riding a motorcycle). When you rode without earplugs, you were probably worrying a lot less about your ears and your attention didn't focus on the sound as much. Tinnitus rarely goes away and most people have a certain level of it which accumulates over time. Certain things like ear infections and metabolic disturbances can accelerate the "volume" of the tinnitus during the disease course.

You can hardly ignore it. We all get the odd whistling now and then, but it can hardly be described as tinnitus. Tinnitus is a persistent ringing in the ear/s. You can hardly ignore it.

If you hear a constant, steady hum, whistle, or tone, that would be an indication. People will experience that for a short time after exposure to a loud noise, but it will fade over time. If you hear it only at night, when it is quiet, then it may be of such a low level that it is masked by ordinary noises during they day.
