Well, talk to a Doctor!! However, what you are asking about sounds like tinnius to me, which is a result of your ears being exposed to loud noises for a long period of time. I think everyone gets a touch of it these days, but if you are like me and have attended one too many concerts and left the headphones blasting on too many times, you've got a constant ringing in your ears. There is no cure of Tinnius, although protecting your hearing can keep it from getting any worse. About the only thing you can do to stop it, is to get REAL used to white noise. You need to have some kind of noise going on in the back ground that is louder then the ringing in your ears, but not so loud it is disturbing. I find that pretty well anything other then music works for me, but I get the best results out of a fan blowing air around the room. Hope that helps!

Some medications may cause tinnitus. OTC items containig aspirin or quinine do it for me. Question back at anyone. Once in a great while my tinnitus turns off as you might turn off an audio signal generator and then gradually returns to the same apparent sound level as before after about several seconds. Some thoughts? Thanks.

Tinnitus is related to the blood flow around the brain, in particular those parts concerned with hearing. Migraines result from some interference with the blood flow, such as constricted blood vessels (sometimes caused by some medications), and tinnitus is like this. The ringing may appear in an ear, or 'in your head' as in my case. This is called intercranial tinnitus where the ringing echos in the head, but kinda near an ear. Stress and other things that affect blood flow in the body can cause tinnitus if your part of the brain happens to be suseptible. Sound also effects blood flow, as does light (which is why light and noise hurts a migraine). Too much noise can damage the blood vessels around the ear which would increase suseptibility to tinnitus when blood flow is affected. There is no real fix for tinnitus, you just need to regulate blood flow with medications, relaxation etc. Usually though, you just have to learn to live with it. Some commentators say that everyone hears ringing, they just block it out. People like us just find it difficult to ignore it. So... avoid stress, bright light, noise, exercise, sex, eating to be sure, but I would recommend trying to ignore it as a more preferable treatment.

it's called titinus (well, thats what causes the ringing in my ears anyway..) maybe the volume on your headset is too loud.. or you've been exposed to too much noise.. (im not talking about people noise, i mean like.. perhaps a construction site.. or heavy machinery.. loud concert speakers?) if that isn't it, its a good idea to check with your doctor,

Yes. Have all of your mercury filling removed ASAP. Mercury is highly toxic and causes tinnitus which is what you have. Metal fillings are 50% mercury.

my ears have been constantly ringing for about thirteen years now. growing up in the south, i have been around heavy (loud) machinery since i was only a toddler, and have been working in the oilfield (very loud machinery) for over five years now. and to contribute to the problem, i was in a band during and shortly after high school, and everyone knows how loud live music can be. i began consulting my otolaryngologist about three years ago. the tinitus is caused when you begin to lose part of your hearing, and your ears "produce their own noise" to make up for the loss. in my case, i have lost a large percentage of my high frequency hearing. being only 26 years old, i already have the hearing loss of a 65 year old person. however, my low frequency hearing is up to par, if not better, than the majority of people in my age group. there is no cure for tinitus, but a hearing aid will sometimes lessen the "ringing" because it makes up for what the natural ear is missing. in my case, and im sure im not alone here, i can not yet use a hearing aid due to my low frequency hearing still acceptable. there is a shot, that is comparible to a cortizone shot, that can be given in the ear. however, there are very few places to have this done. also, this only works in about fifty percent of patients, and that percentage only averages a fifty percent difference in the said ringing of the ears. therefore, there is only a twenty five percent chance of noticing any difference whatsoever, and the shot is far from cheap. so my advice to anyone reading this is basically the same as the others: protect your hearing as much as possible; try to avoid quiet places; when you talk to others in a loud and/or crowded environment, call them aside to avoid yelling or straining to listen; and do your best to live with the situation at hand.
