Sometimes it’s so bad I’ve looked around for someone rhythmically striking a metal pole, that’s what it sounded like. Maybe it is my heartbeat or blood pumping? Does anyone else have that happen? Sometimes it’s just weird scrapy-noises though. Also it’s not every time I exercise, but especially if I do so intensely. Any help would be great.

I have a persistent ringing and zing zing sound in my ears that will not go away. The doctor just told me it was tinnitus and not much could be done. Help.

I also have a deviated septum that deviates towards the right nostril.
I went to an ear nose throat doctor, and all he did is throw some prescription for congestion and some kind of steroid. I don’t like taking drugs. How does a steroid help fix tinnitus?
Tinnitus is only in the right ear.

When I plug my nose and blow, left ear fills with air before the right ear. (Probably due to congestion)

I breath through my mouth often due to congestion in my nose.

When I wear earplugs and I chew on something, my right ear makes a popping sound. (the ear with tinnitus) This popping occurs more when I am less congested in the nose possibly because fluid isn’t draining to my nose properly? I don’t know.

So I’ve noticed I hear ringing in my ears a lot now. I know it’s probably normal but I was wondering if anyone knows what causes it?

I have been advised there is no cure for tinnitus! I cannot survive awful ringing sounds in the ears? Surely there must be some cure available somewhere?

I’ve recently been taking Metformin but switched to Glucophage at my doctor’s instructions and also boosted my daily prescription of Glimepiride from 1/2 mg to 2 mg. Concurrent with these actions I began having a 24/7 ringing in my ears!

Hey guys one of my friends has been suffering from ringing in the ears, also known as tinnitus ever since we came from that concert a week ago. Does anyone know of any good homeopathic treatment for tinnitus, that are simple and fairly easy to do.

I’ve suffered from tinnitus since May 11, 1996. I’ve had to accept the fact that these awful noises will never go away for the rest of my life, but what I can’t accept is the (sometimes intense) soreness, tingling, etc., in my ears as well as slight pains in my jaws and headaches which have all cropped up in recent years. Aspirin, Tylenol, etc., have little or no effect. Obviously tinnitus is not self-correcting which is why I haven’t noticed any improvement since I swore off headphones and loud music a couple of years ago (all of you I-Pod users out there, be warned).

A bit of background: I’m a 32 year-old male in excellent physical health with no history of head trauma or infectious disease (e.g. Meniere’s); my tinnitus was caused entirely by use of headphones. Amazingly, an ENT has tested me and told me that my hearing is still perfect despite the tinnitus. And, I don’t have any other tinnitus-related symptoms such as insomnia or vertigo.

Any suggestions?
