Obviously, you need to see a doctor, but I see acoustic neuromas more frequently now when I do a MRI for the reasons your described.  These are not cancer, but benign tumors, and the research has shown that cell phone use increases the risk for developing them!\n\nYou can read about acoustic neuromas here:\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/acoustic-neuroma/HQ00182\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_neuroma\n\nRead about their link to cell phones here:  http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/14/health/main649429.shtml\nhttp://news.com.com/Study+links+cell+phones,+tumors/2100-1039_3-5409531.html

You might have a low imune system, try going to your doctor because there are a lot of things that can cause that.

You probbably have some water in your ear,if so put some perioxide in it, lay your head on the floor flat and then get up after you can no longer hear the noise.If this is not it it could be tinnitus, the cause is "palatal myoclonus" A muscle spasm in the palate is wiggling the eustachian tubes from the mouth end, and you hear a sound at the ear end when the tubes open. \nhope it helps you:)

Dear,I am also a sufferer from headaches and migaine.My strong advice find a really good neurologist to find the proper solution,by examining you scrupulously and to administer to you some really workable medication.As you share your experience I don't think your doctor give you the right "help"..As to your feeling of hearing some ringing in your ear it is a sign that you can have problems with your vestibular system..and that is cured with other medications..LUck and God bless you!!

Try Gingko Biloba it's used for Tinnitus or ringing in the ears.

This sensation can be caused by a broad range of conditions... anemia, low blood pressure, head trauma, etc. Sounds like yours is a lingering symptom of an inner ear infection or fluid on the ear drum. Do you hear a garbling of words when around LOUD noise?\nIf the light headed-off balance sensation is a chronic symptom, I would recommend contacting your physician and seeing if they can find & treat the cause. It may be as simple to alleviate as taking a series of antibiotics &/or decongestants to dry up the fluid that is impairing your equilibrium.

It's called tinnitus.\nI doesn't have to have to mean anything and some people live with it all their lives.\nPersonally, when my ears are ringing it means I'm stressed and either my blood pressure is rising or I'm gritting my teeth, which causes my jaw muscles to tighten.

Could be anything from an inner ear infection, to MS. Go see a doctor.

You may be hard at hearing, have a sharp pain in your ears, and hear continuous a ringing noise. If you have any of these symptoms I suggest you see a doctor and tune down your music if at all possible.

I got to laugh, doctors after many years of schooling always forget that your balance center is in your inner ear and they always try to look for every possible cause for dizziness but they always over look the main source. There is a good chance that you may have Meniere's disease which is a condition which has to do with your vestibular balance in your inner ear and when somthing throws it off you get dizziness, usually it appears in spells, its not constant. I was recently diagnosed with it after getting dizzy spells for almost 5 years and I also went through tests after tests.

There's so many things that can cause dizziness.  I got new glasses one time and was dizzy for a while because the perscription wasn't right.  You could have a lot of stress too, which can make you dizzy.  Some people feel a slight buzz in their head, usually shooting straight back from your forehead along the sides of your head.  You could also have an ear wax build up.  Since you had those other tests ruled out, you might also ask your doctor about Lyme's Disease, depending on where you live.  You can get it anywhere, but it's really uncommon in some parts.  I live in Pennsylvania, and it's a lot more prevalent here, and one of the symptoms is dizziness.  Either way, don't give up.  It's hard going back into the doctor's office time and time again.

ringing in the ears is called Tinnitus \n\nCauses for Tinnitus or ringing in the ear: \n\nAge-related tinnitus causes - hearing loss (presbycusis) occurring usually around age 60. \n\nTrauma-related tinnitus causes - damage to the inner ear (could result from excessive exposure to loud sound). \n\nLong-term use of medications such as aspirin (in large doses), quinine (used in treatment of malaria), antibiotics and anti-inflammatory can be tinnitus causes. Often the unwanted noises disappear once the drugs are discontinued. \n\nTemporomandibular joint problems (jaw disorders resulting in clicking or grating noises) can be one of the tinnitus causes. \n\nOtosclerosis (stiffening of the bones in the middle ear). \n\nTrauma or injury to the head or neck can be a tinnitus cause. \n\nEar wax – Buildup of excess wax in the ear can reduce your ability to hear outside noises, and can be tinnitus causes by causing you to hear internal noises better. \n\nEar infection – If an infection reduces your ability to hear outside noises, you are more likely to hear the noises related to Tinnitus. \n\nAtherosclerosis – Buildup of cholesterol and other fatty deposits causes tinnitus by causing the middle and inner ear to loose its elasticity which causes the blood flow to become more forceful which makes it easier for the ear to detect the beats. \n\nHigh blood pressure – High blood pressure and factors that increase the blood pressure such as stress, alcohol and caffeine are tinnitus causes and can make the sounds more noticeable. \n\nFood--Specific foods may trigger tinnitus. Problem foods include red wine, grain-based spirits, cheese, and chocolate. Tinnitus may also be caused by foods rich in salicylates (the same ingredient as in aspirin, which also causes tinnitus when taken in large amounts).  \n\nGrowths/tumors--Acoustic neuromas, glomous tumors, otosclerosis may all be tinnitus causes. Surgery may be recommended. \n\nStress--Stress is not a direct cause of tinnitus, but it may generally make an already existing case worse. \n\nSince tinnitus might be a symptom of another health problem, see your doctor for any hearing concerns.  Caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, aspirin, antihistamines, and prescription or even over-the-counter medications can aggravate existing tinnitus and are tinnitus causes.  Although there remains no cure, tinnitus symptoms can be overcome.  RingStop is designed to safely relieve and prevent tinnitus and ear noise symptoms.

You should go see a doctor you may have ear damage. If you listen  to very loud music with earphones or ear buds the sound vibrations damage the eardrum.

I presume that you are speaking of tinnitus.  I was diagnosed with it, and am receiving 10% because of it.  If you have it (read: diagnosed that it was due to military service), put in an appeal for your current reading, or ask for a review.

"Tinnitus is the medical term for ringing in the ears and it is a very common phenomenon. Nearly 36 million Americans suffer from this tinnitus which may come and go, or you may be aware of a continuous sound. It can vary in pitch from a low roar to a high squeal or whine, and you may hear it in one or both ears. When the ringing is constant, it can be annoying and distracting. More than seven million people are afflicted so severely that they cannot lead normal lives.\n\nMost tinnitus comes from damage to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. The health of these nerve endings is important for acute hearing, and injury to them brings on hearing loss and often tinnitus. If you are older, advancing age is generally accompanied by a certain amount of hearing nerve impairment and tinnitus. If you are younger, exposure to loud noise is probably the leading cause of tinnitus, and often damages hearing as well.\n\nTinnitus may also be caused by allergy, high or low blood pressure (blood circulation problems), a tumor, diabetes, thyroid problems, injury to the head or neck, and a variety of other causes including medications such as anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, sedatives, antidepressants, and aspirin. If you take aspirin and your ears ring, talk to your doctor about dosage in relation to your size.\n\nTreatment will be quite different in each case of tinnitus. It is important to see an otolaryngologist to investigate the cause of your tinnitus so that the best treatment can be determined."\n\n\n\nThe website below contains a lot more information on ringing in the ear.

I was wondering if it could be an inner ear infection since that would affect balance, but you say you've been to the ear doctor. All those tests and they can't find anything?\n\nA lady I know told me she had vertigo, which causes dizziness and loss of balance, but it seemed like there wasn't any effective treatment for it.  I just did a search on vertigo and came up with this, maybe it will help you:\nhttp://www.drdaveanddee.com/dizziness.html
