In most cases, there is no specific treatment for ear and head noise. If your otolaryngologist finds a specific cause of your tinnitus, he or she may be able to eliminate the noise. But, this determination may require extensive testing including X-rays, balance tests, and laboratory work. However, most causes cannot be identified. Occasionally, medicine may help the noise. The medications used are varied, and several may be tried to see if they help.\n\nThe following list of DOs and DON'Ts can help lessen the severity of tinnitus:\n\n    * Avoid exposure to loud sounds and noises.\n    * Get your blood pressure checked. If it is high, get your doctor's help to control it.\n    * Decrease your intake of salt. Salt impairs blood circulation.\n    * Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea, cola, and tobacco.\n    * Exercise daily to improve your circulation.\n    * Get adequate rest and avoid fatigue.\n    * Stop worrying about the noise. Recognize your head noise as an annoyance and learn to ignore it as much as possible.

go to a ear, nose, throat doctor, they can help.  and remember - DON'T stick anything in your ear that's smaller than your elbow unless a doctor tells you to (my mom always told me this!)

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.

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.

From what I have heard there isnt a cure for it..I used to have the same problem with tinnutis, the chiropractor helped me..The theory is a neck out of alignment presses on nerves that go to the ears. People with anxiety tend to  pop their back out of alignment alot..The chiropractor is worth a try..\n\n   Here are some other tips:\n\nCut back on or eliminate alcohol and beverages containing caffeine. \n\nStop smoking and using smokeless tobacco products. Nicotine use may cause tinnitus by reducing blood flow to the structures of the ear. For more information, see the topic Quitting Tobacco Use. \n\nExercise regularly. Exercise may prevent tinnitus because it improves blood flow to the structures of the ear. For more information, see the topic Fitness. \nMaintain a healthy weight. Tinnitus occurs more frequently in obese adults. For more information, see the topic Healthy Weight. \n\nAdd sources of vitamin B12 to your diet. Vitamin B12 helps the body produce a substance that protects the nerves in the inner ear, and some think it protects against tinnitus. Good sources of vitamin B12 include milk and dairy products, meat, and eggs.

Tinnitus is not easy to just get rid of.  You may be stuck with it for life.  It is usually a cochlear problem that is associated with hearing damage.  Tinnitus is a warning of something going wrong, and not usually the main problem.  Your best be is to be checked out by an Audiologist, to determine your next move.  \nThings to consider:  Is it in both ears?  Is it associated with dizziness?  Do you get a pressure feeling in one ear, especially the one with the tinnitus?  Do you have a one sided hearing loss?  If you answer yes to any of these questions, you really should go to an audiologist.\nBeyond that, studies show that if you intake a lot of salt and caffine this MAY be a cause of making the ringing worse.  Cut these out of your diet for a week or two and see if there is a difference.  You will know.  If you see anything at all, it may go away completely for awhile.  If the ringing keeps you up at night play a fan, radio, tv, or get one of those noise machines from bed, bath, and beyond (these are great!).  \nUnfortunately there is no pill or shot that can get rid of your tinnitus.  it is hard to study since the only person that knows its there is you.  \n\nGood luck.

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.

Go to a vitamin shop, like GNC, Vitamin Shop etc. They have these weird little things called ear cones. You place them in your ear and light it on fire, it sucks out the wax. I have done this a few time and it is odd. Be carefull not to burn your head!

I think not specifically, but go see a neurologist, b/c they will often prescribe anti-anxiety meds for the anxiety tinnitus causes. Plus neurontin may now be allowed as treatment for tinnitus. Check on that.

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.

Hi,\n\nHope You and family are fine.\n\nThere can 2 things.\n\n1. Tinnitus : Best described as an acoustic like feeling generated somewhere in the human body. Objective Tinnitus can be heard by the patient and the by the examiner.  It may be caused by spasms-like movement of the small bones in the middle ear, spontaneous movement of the soft palate and sometimes by sounds generated in the cochlea (where the hearing nerves are located.) Subjective tinnitus is best defined as an acoustic-like sensation that is heard only by the patient and not by anyone else. Its cause lies somewhere in the auditory system.\n\nBut it should be persistant, in Your case I its not persistent and only occur while You are walking then it may be SEISMIC EFFECT, That is walking itself produces a jarring motion that may create movement of the small bones or contractions muscles in the middle ear.\n\nIn order to test this hypothesis, consider doing the following: I) Walk slowly (with minimal jarring) and determine if the clicking sensation is present. 2) Then walk at your normal pace and determine if the clicking returns. 3) Move head up and down slowly and notice if the clicking is absent or present. 4). Then, vigorously, move your head up and down and determine if the clicking sound returns.\n\nAnother suggestion is to do the following: If you use hearing aids, take them off and then walk a brief distance and see if the clicking occurs. Put them on and follow the same procedure. If there is no clicking when the hearing aids are not worn, and it is present when they are, it is quite possible that the seismic effect is causing the problem. \n\nAt any rate, what you are describing does not appear to be a harbinger of something that should be of great concern. However, if it is a constant concern, by all means consult an ear specialist.\n\nA word of caution: Regardless of the cause of the perceived sound, even though it is benign, constant, negative attention to that sound can create emotional disturbance. If a medical examination finds no evidence of a physical or medical problem, then be assured the clicking sound offers no threat to the quality of life. \n\nHope that answers Your question.\n\nWarm regards,\n\nTanvir.

Sounds to me, you might have tinnitus like I do! See an ENT, the'll have you get an MRI of the head and if they don't find anything wrong, I'm afraid they'll tell you what they told me, learn to live with it which is easy for them to say!! I've had it for a year now and I don't mean to discourage you but the noise drives you crazy!!!

Hi Kim\n\nHere are some ideas to clean out your ears.\n\nHerbal Aids \n1.Garlic: Earache, inflammation of the middle ear, ear disease: Pack a small clove of garlic in gauze and place into the external ear passage; or drop 4-5 drops of oil into the ear channel, cover with flannel, and keep warm. \n\n2.Rue: Warm and place several drops of compound oil into the ear. \n\n3.Mullein: Use warm mullein oil, 2-3 drops in the ear 2-3 times daily. Apple cider vinegar is also a healing agent. \n\n4.Hops: Apply a flannel bag of hops, and moist heat over the affected area. \n\n5.Treat Both Ears: The simple, old-fashioned aids are sometimes very fast in giving relief. Always treat both ears, even if only one aches. \n\n6.Onion: Lightly bake a large onion, cut it in half and while warm (not hot enough to irritate the area), bind one half of the onion over each ear. Bandage in place and hold bandage on with a nightcap, white skullcap, etc., and leave on all night. \n\n7.Camomile: Use a fomentation over both ears of three parts of camomile and one part of lobelia. Take two ounces orally (a wineglass full) each two waking hours. Leave the fomentation on the ears all night. (Cover fomentation with plastic or oiled silk, etc.). \n\n8.Mullein: Use three to six drops of mullein oil in both ears several times each day. Insert it upon retiring for the night, and, as before, plug the ears with cotton. Place a fomentation over the ears all night of three parts mullein and one part lobelia. \n\n9.Dr. Christopher's B & B Tincture: When this procedure is used as explained here, it can be an aid in assisting an improvement of poor equilibrium, failure of hearing, aiding the motor nerve, etc. With an eye dropper insert into each ear at night four to six drops of oil of garlic and four to six drops of the following herb tincture: blue cohosh, black cohosh, blue vervain, skullcap, and lobelia, plugging ears overnight with cotton, six days a week, four to six months, or as needed. On the seventh day, flush ears with a small ear syringe using warm apple cider vinegar and distilled water half and half. \n\n10.Flaxseed Meal and Blue Vervain: Made into a poultice with flaxseed meal, using a strong infusion of Blue Vervain instead of plain hot water, it relieves ... earache and ear abscess as well. \n  \n\nTestimonials \n1.Garlic: When my little girl had an earache I put a piece of fresh garlic in her ear and it was better by morning. The previous alternative was to go to the doctor and pay a lot of money for penicillin. \n\n\nBest of health to you
