I know what causes all of those things, I just want to know, what steps are being taken to eliminate the problem, also, if there’s a reliable organization I could donate money to to support their research for it.
I just wanna know, what’s being done to help restore our hearing, and stop tinnitus?

i was just wondering. i have for a tinnitus for a while, but it seems like it is getting worse.
and i was also wondering if anybody doesn’t have slight ringing in their ears.

I have been taking aound 900 mgs each month for migraines for over 10 years.

Now during the last year I have noticed I am getting Tinnitis and it is getting worse.
I have a hard time sleeping at night even with 2 noisy fans running.
The metallic ringing sounds come from 2 and sometimes 3 diferent areas of my head. And gets louder if I move my head sise to side. It drives me crazy and If for some reasaon I am woke up during the night there is no way I can go back to sleep because the sound is so irritating.
I saw an Ear specialist and I have no ear wax build up and he could see no obvious cause for the sudden tinnitus.
I do have high cholesterol of 235
I was taking Welbutrin and Zonegram but stopped to see if it was the meds causing the tennitus but it wasn’t.
If it is the long term use of Imitrex (like asprin) is causing the tinnitus will stopping the med eventually cause it to go away or am I stuck with it forever?

Yesterday, as i got up from my bed i got light-headed and i know it was from low blood pressure from getting up to fast (postural hypotension) but i also got a loud hissing sound (tinnitus) in my ear and i never ever have gotten this before when i get lightheaded i usually just get tunnel vision. Why did i get this hissing sound? How does low blood pressure effect the ears?

Having had help for hiatus hernia and atrial fibrillation from these pages I now have another condition to deal with – I can’t believe that this is all happening to me this year.
Ttwo weks ago my right ear became completely blocked so that I couldn’t hear anything in it. My doctor said that the wax was solid and told me to use Otex until I came back from holiday and he would syringe it. The Otex gave me ringing in that ear . My ear has now been syringed (it was still completely blocked) but the ringing persists only much quieter. Although he said it must be tinnitus I think there is still some wax deep down in the ear but he says it is all out. Why did the tinnitus come on by using Otex? I would like to try alternative remedies but as I am on Warfarin and beta blockers there is not much I can have.
Any ideas, please, as the ringing is driving me mad.

What can I do about tinnitus?

I am 16 and developed tinnitus in both of my ears after having a painful double ear infection several years ago. The confusing part of my tinnitus is that I actually hear better than most people and I got close to perfect results after having a hearing test. What could be causing it? I am sure it is not anything deadly as I have had it for several years and it has not gotten worse at all, but what can I do to maybe make the ringing less severe? The only time I really notice it is while I am in bed and everything is completly quiet.

And what exactly happens in you’re ear when u get tinnitus what goes wrong ?

my tinnitus was caused by loud noise one year back…i can not hear the sound except when i close my ears with my hands or during sleeping. can the sound increase without any reason?or will it remain same if i take proper precautions in not going to any noisy place again?

The ringing or background noise in my ear has been going on for weeks.
Think it was caused by an ear infection. The sound is not too loud as i can only hear it in quiet environment. It sounds like an empty tape recorder being played, would this be tinnitus. I haven’t been to the doctors yet but just wanna know if this is tinnitus or not? And if so, will it be able to go away?

They say it may take 4 months to work so I’d like to know if anyone used it for this long and if it worked and if your tinnitus is gone for good.
