Does anyone hear have it or ever had it before? I been having this high pitch ringing or whistling sound in my ears when its mostly quiet, like when I'm laying down or trying to sleep. Ever since I started taking a certain medication I started to hear it but I have stop taking the medication a little more than a week ago cause of the side effects. Problem is I still have the whistling, ringing sound in my ears and I still hear it even when I'm typing this. It's not really something that really effects me during the day when I'm doing stuff cause other noises drowns it out, but like I said, when it's mostly quiet around is when I notice the constant ringing in the ears and it gets annoying. I read online that a lot of people actually have it and there are natural remedies to cure it. Is there something I can buy at the local pharmacy to get rid of it? I heard it could cause some hearing lost if left untreated for a while. Anymore know of a way to stop the whistling sound and cure it?
I probably have it to some degree, but I think it might just be the same ringing everyone has if they focus on it. Tinnitus, from what I gather, is much worse. If I focus on the ringing, I can hear it constantly throughout the day. When it's absolutely silent, it's quite loud, but again, just when I focus on it.
This is why you should always wear Air plugs at concerts. If there is any pain what so ever I recommend flushing your ears out.
Edit: Ear Plugs. Don't over aggressively q-tip our ears though. You could cause more damage. Stop listing to your ipod with in ear headphones.
Yes, I have it very badly in my left ear thanks to seeing My Bloody Valentine last year in Austin. AND I was wearing ear-plugs and STILL took permenate hearing loss! I use some OTC stuff called Ring Relief for it, seems to work for awhile.
I've had it in my right ear for the last 4 years, following a tympanoplasty on that ear. As long as there's white noise, I tend to block it out and not notice it. I haven't found any of those OTC treatments that worked.
Yeah that's how it is for me. When I go through my day normally I don't notice it. It's when I'm doing nothing or when I'm trying to sleep is when I notice the ringing and it does get quite loud for me too when its quiet but maybe its cause I'm focusing on it. I don't really think I had the constant ringing in the ears before until I started taking this certain medication. I read that some medications could cause it like asprin and other things like constant loud noises. I just hope it doesn't get any worst.
I don't even use an ipod... I do have subwoofers in my car but never had this constant ringing problem before and I don't really blast my speakers too. Before if I had a ringing in my ears from something loud it would just away atfer a little bit but this ringing I hear hasn't and it's been about 2 or more weeks now.
Well the Woofers wouldn't do that much damage but tweeters might. have you gone swimming lately? Like I said, If there's any pain in your ears it could be a good thing. You could have just ruptured your ear drums. They grow back.
For me, if I sleep on the unaffected ear, it's worse because all the sound I'm getting is coming through the ear with the tinnitus. If I sleep on the ear with the ringing in it, it's much better. I also usually leave the TV on at a low volume, but even just having a fan on in the room provides enough white noise to diminish the effects of the ringing.
I say buy a white noise machine. I could help with your lack of sleep. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...r-20&hvadid=4407433269&ref=pd_sl_19vgw10gv4_e
naa I dont think I need one of those. I don't have that much of a problem sleeping and I could just turn on my radio a little to drown out the noise. Its just that it gets pretty annoying.
It just means it is dormant, at some point it'll get worse, mine started last year when I was taking anti inflammatories. The specialist told me that it was probably a lingering problem and its only now come to the forefront because of the drug. OP it'll die down, your trigger was the drugs, however the control for it is in your head, the more you think about it the more likely you are to hear it (There is an actual part of the brain that can tune out noise that doesn't make sense to it, you just have to train it to ignore that noise). For me to get over it I started doing things that would get me from concentrating on the noise. Now, I don't even hear it when its quiet, I have to make an actual effort to think about the noise to actually hear it, interesting how the brain works. Having said all that, I did have initial coping issues for about two weeks, it was dreadful, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't concentrate, and I didn't want to be around anyone, all I wanted was for it to disappear. All that stress didn't help one bit......hope it gets better for you.
