Anyone have a high piched ring in thier ear or near it??

When I was younger when I used to get earaches,I got this high pitched tone near my left ear (I dont think its coming froim the ear itself) and when the infection went away,the noise stopped........

Well after one earache in my left ear,the noise stayed and I have had it many years....... I was curious if somehow making my left ear have a earache again and then when it clears up maybe the noise will go??

Or I was thinking maybe taking a 30day dose of Penicillin and maybe it may finally clear it up... Thats what I used to take....

I have taken MMS for other stuff and that doesnt even clear up the ringing sound so it must be hard to fix???


I searched the bases before I posted to see if there was an existing thread on this but there wasnt.........

I have tinnitus in both ears, but it's more like white noise rather than high pitched. I suspect it was caused by too much loud music in my younger days. It doesn't really bother me but it's there all the time.

If you've had it many years, penicillin isn't going to cure it. You won't have had an ear infection that long.

Im sorry you have it in both ears Spider :(

Its amazing they cant figure out what causes it!!

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

You may have Meniere's disease, but sounds unlikely (one of the symptoms is ringing in the ears but its usually accompanied with vertigo).

Tinnitus can be caused by damage to the inner ear where sound waves are converted to nerve impulses, but it can be caused by other things too.

You may just need your ears cleaning - but don't go sticking anything in it as that could make any blockage worse.

Go and seek proper medical advice.

Eustachian tube blockage. It can be caused by snot during and after the sniffles, or an infection. I get it all the time, in addition to the bilateral tinnitus I have had for over 30 years.

The audiologists all sing from the same hymn sheet "Loud music at concerts, clubs, or headphones. No hearing protection when using machinery". But one suggested diving, or flying at high altitude, as causes. He was a military expert on hearing loss, who was told to recant after claims for hearing loss arrived at the doors of the MOD.

Have it in both ears for as long as I can remember, it luckily doesn't bother me too much but when it flares up that can last a few days and it is annoying, then after another sleep it goes back to normal levels.

There is no cure for Tinnitus.

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

I have it in both ears. NHS supply hearing aids help bypass it. The worst situations are noisy restaurants or group settings. Otherwise all okay.

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

I have it mostly in my left ear post gastroscopy and bit in my right. It's a bit of a pain but I can mostly ignore it.

Hmm I wonder can that tube be cleared somehow?

Im wondering if mine has been blocked all these years?? (Would an Xray show if its blocked??)

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

Here's some simple methods to try.
Eustachian tube dysfunction

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

Same here

Some can get kinked, and that is a major problem as it causes problems with changing air pressure. Affected pilots are told not to fly in unpressurised cockpits in case their eardrums explode!

3D scans can see them, but that doesn't always mean there is a cure.

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

Yeah, subjective tinnitus on top of pulsatile tinnitus. I've got another appointment with the Audiologist end of the year, might be getting some jazzy hearing aids.

Years ago I went to some doctor and he said if I ate some HERBS for a year it might stop but I didnt wanna go thru all that and not have it go away so I didnt try.....I suppose I still could....

Yes I have held my nose and tried to clear my ears out but usually the pressure stays in my ears along time before being released,Boy do I hate it!!

I dont think the sound is IN MY EAR because if I squeeze/press my ear lobe I can hear another sound AND THAT OBVIOUSLY IS COMING FROM MY EAR.......

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

There is no actual cure for tinnitus.

Also definitely don't go sticking cotton buds or Q-tips in your ear as can make this much much worse. My daughter went deaf in her left ear after sticking one in, she damaged her ear in doing so.

Ya I tried to tell my dad that once and he didnt believe me..... We were right at the doctors that day getting my ears cleared out and the doctor told him she agreed with me!!

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

Yeah she actually burst her ear drum.

Wow im so sorry......

Any way they can repair that?

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

Nope. Has to wear a heading aid.

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

I remember seeing at The Royal Berkshire Hospital, reading a sign saying not to up anything smaller than your elbow in your ear.

How true

SAME WITH Me,

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

OP, are you willing to try CBD?
I have tinnitus, too, and CBD helps with the pain and to sleep better. I'm subscribed to this cannabis clinic, you can give it a try.

Isnt that POT??

Hehe I have tried smoking that and it burns my throat :D


Some ppl were smoking it once years ago and I tried a puff........ Heh I havent tried since!!

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

I used a free program similar to this one to make a recording of the tones I hear. Then I just listen to them on headphones, and get temporary relief.

Thus is the original I used. https://www.nch.com.au/tonegen/index.html

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

Not exactly. They take out the THC which is the main part and it leaves the rest. It's used for medicinal purposes.

I cant believe how many people in the states here are now openly smoking pot since it was legalised.... I think the smell is quite disgusting!

Thank you Taf.... I have a tone generator program also and I have tried to find out what freq I am hearing,its between 9 and 10,000Hz I think........ (Its quite high)

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

People openly smoke weed here even though it's not legal.

Wow I thought they made it legal there also......

Isnt it something Stevie??

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

Doesn't bother me at all. My neighbour smokes out in the garden a lot. Nic guy speak to him often, done lots of gardening work for us too.

Then again I've partaken in some smoking and ingesting of it when I was in Amsterdam where it's very much legal. Coffee shops everywhere.

I do get random tinnitus from time to time. A high pitched noise in either ear at random. Doesn't stay around too long.

Ya I just think its amazing they cant pinpoint the problem!

Something is going on!!

I remember when I was at the doctor 1 time I asked hime to look at both my ears with XRAY and see whats different about them.... He said there wasnt anything that would show why its got a high pitched tone...

Well something is blocked or whatnot,I dunno..... Maybe doing that thing TAF said might be benefical.... (With the tube cleaning)

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

I've now had ringing in my right ear since yesterday afternoon as well as headache and muffled hearing. Call to GP and luckily got an appointment. Turns out I have an ear infection. 5 day course of antibiotics and hopefully it'll be sorted.

Ok thats interesting.... You get a high pitched tone with an ear infection also..... (I hope ya feel better soon)

The quieston is: What causes the tone and what allows it to go away??

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

Guessing inflammation or the ear canal and inner ear. As it can affect balance too.

Yes its quite a bugger!!

I went to a herb doctor years ago and he suggested taking some herbs FOR A YEAR and he said it might or might not help my tone......

I have been looking at other stuff recently. This says BASIL OIL helps reduce it but I dont know how to take it!

When I was younger I always got this same ring when I had an ear infection.... When the infection went away,so did the tone and 1 time after the infection,the tone did not go away...

Im wondering if its not tinnitus I have but something in my brain that could be reset somehow and the tone will go away?? (I have had it 30+ years now constant)

Re: Tinnitus anyone?
 

No, its definitely tinnitus I've had it since my ear infection at the start of this year. Sometimes it varies in volume and tone or occasionally the sound of it changes completely.

Sometimes I don't even notice it at all.

Im sorry your going thru this also Stevie..... 1 would hope there would be some easy solution for us....
