You should go see a specialist.  My ears have been ringing for 15 years, the doctor told me that it is nerve damage and there is no way to fix it.  However, sometimes it is due to something else that is operable.  Have it checked out.  If it's not repairable, you'll get used to it, believe me.

Hello there,\nI am sorry to say but there is no cure for Tinnitus. But there are some methods which can help the condition. However, it does depend on the type of Tinnitus that you have. \n\nType 1: it comes and goes\nType 2: mostly they only have Tinnitus in one ear. It makes the sound of wave or the sound of water fall. \n\nType 3: In both or one ear. The sound is generally the noise of a colour bar on a TV late at night. \n\nSome people have Tinnitus for different reasons. Some due to work and noise pollution. Some people even get it from psychological. If you were bullied as a child, adult etc u might think it won't affect you as much. But your corresponds to bullying can be to block the silly people voices out and then your brain creates Tinnitus so you can't listen so intensely.  It is a form of protective method your body creates. So, you need to find out why you have it. \n\nThere has been reported that people with Tinnitus:\n*Take herbal tablets.\n*Try to block it mentally out.\n*New technology shows that an ear piece machine can re-train your brain to ignore the sounds. But you'll have to keep training yourself to maintain the "cure". \n\n*Acupuncture - \n*Cranial Osteopathy - could be that your jaws are too tight.\n\nYou could even have allergies in the middle ear or a under pressure in the ear. Check this with an ear specialist. \n\nPeople with Tinnitus can experience:\n*sound to vary in volume.\n*sounds to vary in sound.\n*balance problems - find out which part of the head your Tinnitus lies.\n\nWhen people with Tinnitus are:\n*tired\n*angry\n*hungry\n*wet/cold- don't walk around with wet hair.\n* Colds/versus etc.\n\nHope this helps. Please, give me a little feed-back note on how it went?\n\nYours Sincerely,\nJr.

If you have heart problems then I assume you are on aspirin. One of the hallmarks of aspirin is tinnitis (ringing in the ear). You may be wise to lower your dose slightly, after consulting your physician.

You've got tinnitus.  I have it too.  There's nothing to cure it, although there's some new herbal type pill that claims to reduce the ringing.  I don't believe it.  I've had tinnitus since I was a child.  It came from a very severe dual ear infection that damaged my eardrums.  At night, it's the worst due to the silence.  I meditate to help ignore the ringing & to relax into sleep.  I've been told one day, I'll have to wear hearing aids.  I get my hearing checked every 6 months too.  I've got 9% hearing loss in both ears & I'm just 33.

Go back to the doctor, and they can readjust them for you. They are not supposed to hurt your ears. Good luck.

You suffer from the same thing I do: Tinnitius.\n\nHere is the bad news, it is normally permanent.  And it has many causes.  They range from nerve damage, being exposes to loud noises, ear infections, even traffic accidents (that is how I got mine).\n\nThere are some medications that can reduce the effects, but not totally eliminate it.\n\nIf you have not already done so, check with a doctor that specializes in ENT (Ear Nose Throat).  They should be able to pinpoint the cause of your tinnitus, and give you some possible solutions.

ringing in the ear can be caused by many things and the best way to treat it is to first find out what is causing the problem.  this requires extensive testing done by someone with experience and education.  there are some drugs but the etiology would need to be confirmed before drug treatment can be attempted.  There is nothing so new and revolutionary that i have heard or read about.  You still need to get a profesional opinion on this one.

Ringing of the ear is called Tinnitus.\nInside your inner ear, thousands of auditory cells maintain an electrical charge. Microscopic hairs form a fringe on the surface of each auditory cell. When they're healthy, these hairs move in relation to the pressure of sound waves. The movement triggers the cell to discharge electricity through the auditory nerve. Your brain interprets these signals as sound.\n\nIf the delicate hairs inside your inner ear are bent or broken, they move randomly in a constant state of irritation. Unable to hold their charge, the auditory cells "leak" random electrical impulses to your brain as noise.\n\nDamage to auditory cells in your inner ear most commonly results from:\n\nAge-related hearing loss (presbycusis). This process usually begins around age 60. \nNoise-related damage to your inner ear. This erosion of your hearing ability may result from excessive exposure to loud noise over a long period of time. Tractors, chain saws and weapons are common sources of noise-related hearing loss. Portable music devices, such as MP3 players or iPods, may become a common source of noise-related hearing loss in the future if people play these devices loudly for long periods. \nOther causes of tinnitus may include:\n\nLong-term use of certain medications. Aspirin used in large doses and certain types of antibiotics can affect inner ear cells. Often the unwanted noise disappears when you stop using these drugs. \nChanges in ear bones. Stiffening of the bones in your middle ear (otosclerosis) may affect your hearing. \nInjury. Trauma to your head or neck can damage your inner ear. \nCertain disorders of your blood vessels can cause a type of tinnitus called pulsatile tinnitus. These may include:\n\nAtherosclerosis. With age and buildup of cholesterol and other fatty deposits, major blood vessels close to your middle and inner ear lose some of their elasticity — the ability to flex or expand slightly with each heartbeat. That causes blood flow to become more forceful and sometimes more turbulent, making it easier for your ear to detect the beats. \nHigh blood pressure. Hypertension and factors that increase blood pressure, such as stress, alcohol and caffeine, can make the sound more noticeable. Repositioning your head usually causes the sound to disappear. \nTurbulent blood flow. Narrowing or kinking in a carotid artery or jugular vein can cause turbulent blood flow and head noise. \nMalformation of capillaries. A condition called A-V malformation, which occurs in the connections between arteries and veins, can result in head noise. \nHead and neck tumors. Tinnitus may be a symptom of a tumor in your head or neck.  \n\nSo as not to cause panic.  Maybe it's just a simple case of water trapped in your ear. or an infection called otitis media.  It would be prudent for you to go see an EENT for proper diagnosis. and treatment.  All you need might only be an ear irrigation.\n\nTinnitus is usually caused by a head injury, an infection, such as colds or sinus infection or sinusitis, a disease or exposure to loud sounds such as gunshots and explosions.\n\nIt can be a sign of hearing loss, or it can result from head injuries, or diseases that range from the common cold to diabetes. People who work with noisy equipment, such as power tools, can also get it. Or tinnitus may be initiated by a single loud noise, such as a gunshot or an explosion. It can also be a symptom of almost any ear disorder, including the following:\n\n Ear infections \n Blocked ear canal \n Blocked eustachian tube \n Otosolerosis \n Tumors of the middle ear \n Meniere's disease \n Damage to the ear caused by drugs (such as aspirin and some antibiotics) \n Hearing loss \n Blast injury from a blast or explosion \n\nTinnitus may also occur with other disorders such as anemia, heart and blood vessel disorders including hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and low thyroid hormone levels in the blood (hypothyroidism).\n\nA wide variety

Tinnitus is extremely common and usually does not pose a problem although it can be annoying.  There are a few causes of tinnitus and sometimes it's idiopathic -- we don't know why a particular person has it.  Your laptop is not exacerbating it.  One of the causes is hypertension, another is hypernatremia (escessive serum sodium).  You can try reducing or eliminating sodium from your diet.  If you know you have hypertension, manage it more effectively.  If you have undiagnosed hypertension, have your blood pressure checked at three different times and at three different times of day to find out.  It can also be caused by repeated concussion to the ear, as with earphones or earbuds and music at high volume.  Turn down the volume.\n\nIf these are fine and not a problem, you may want to get a referral to an ENT to find out if there's a treatable organic cause for the tinnitus.

Try ear candles. You can get these at a health store. Make sure to use a container like an aluminum pie tin, sold at grocery stores, the disposable ones. Just cut out a hole big enough for the candle to fit through as it burns. Also you need another person for lighting the candle. You won't believe how good it feels to get your ears vacuumed out,, and what comes out, yuck.  My sister in law gave me these candles years back and my whole family lines up for it with anticipation once or twice a year. We probably don't do it often enough, though.   It feels great!! And won't damage your ears at all!! You do need two people for this though!

There is no cure, tinnitus isn't generally taken seriously enough for a cure to have been invented. What Drs suggest is that you have some 'white noise' wherever you are, that's supposed to counteract it.

Tinnitus is more of a ringing in the ear - Sounds more like a circulation thing - the blood vessels in the ear are some of the thin-est in the body. - even a slight constriction will sound like a drum - you're likely hearing the sound of blood trying to get through after every heart beat. - My mom had carotid surgery for blockage, and before she did the noise in her ear was deafening - she said it was like rushing water - actually kept her from sleeping. - I'd see a Dr. - Just to be funny, you could try some aspirin or Tylenol (thinner, anti-coagulant) and see if there's a difference. - If there is, it's probably a circulatory thing. - an ultrasound will confirm, but a Dr. should be able to listen with a stethoscope and get an idea if you've got some pathways that are blocked. - Do get it checked. - Depending on your age and health, blockages can lead to stroke. - Hope it's nothing at all.

I have the same thing...it's not specific to one ear or another.  But there are times when I'll hear something that sounds like soft footsteps or tapping, and I've realized it's my heartbeat!\n\nI don't know anything specific to stop this, but in general, you can lower your heart rate with long, deep breathing.  That's helped me in the past.

It could be tinnitus and you should see your doctor--unless maybe you still have the earbud to your ipod in it?

Go buy some balloons and blow them up several times a day, this actually works as it makes the natural tubes in your ear move releasing the fuild. This was told to me by an e.n.t. dr.
