I have a bit of tinnitus in both ears but recently my left has been getting progresively louder everyday for the past week and blocking up entierly occasionally.
i’ve been putting olive oil down there but it’s no good, what do i do, because it’s getting worse and nothing i do is stopping it!
thanks in advance

Unfortunately, there is no miracle answer to this!! I too have tinnitus in my right ear, and sadly there is little or nothing that can be done to alleviate the problem….its a nightmare, but something you will find you will have to live with. Don’t put anything more in your ear…just go and consult your g.P.
as far as I know you can;t cure tinnitus or stop it in any way. You can however buy little devices that sort of… uhm.. eliminate the tinnitus somewhat. I think people mostly use it at night so they can sleep. I am no expert so maybe you should talk to your doctor about it. good luck!
I sympathise with you I have it in my right ear. I have tried everything. I tried taking a antihistamine tablet one a day as was told this could help it did for a while. But as not a lot can be done we have to suffer. I will be watching this question with eager.
you need to get your doctor/nurse to syringe your ears out, forget the olive oil, use Earex for 5 days before you goto the quacks,
to help you sleep, you need a fan next to the bed, to drown out the ringing noise…..
You should deff reduce the TV, music, etc, if our not already, I have it slightly, gets louder at night, when im tired i have put it down to.
Is it particular times? e.g. After you have been in the car, listened to music etc etc, then you can try and work it from there, by putting cotton wool in your ears to prevent loud noises that cant be helped (car etc)
Also I dont think putting olive oil in your ear should be done that regularly, it does work, yes, but tinitus isnt about it being blocked is it, it might just irritate it more and make it hurt later on.
Go to your doctor and ask them to look, like the above answerer said, there isnt anything for tinitus, but I did see someone on the news once on tinitus week, (yes there is one!) as it is getting more and more common, in young people too due to music and clubbing etc, that there is something they have for tinitus – not sure what though, but the website below is for natural remedies, have a look.
Tinnitus is also caused by imbalances in the sugar level or because of high and low blood presure problems.
Good luck.
I’ve had Tinnitus for over 15 years now and beleave me there is nothing on the market that does anything to help, Its funny but most people seem to suffer with it in their left ear first, don’t know why at is, but its true. Good luck.
first. do not take aspirin..its makes it worst. go to the drug store, get Lipo-flavinolds, they are about $30..they Increase the blood flow to the inner ear.. It will cut much of the ringing out..nothing is 100%, but it work for me..good luck..
