Potential Causes of Ear Ringing
I'm sure everyone at some stage of their lives has had this happen to them at least once. You hear a strange high pitched ringing in your ears. Usually, this clears up without incident and you never think of it again. However, ear ringing or ear buzzing that is problematic may be tinnitus. If your ears are bothering you all the time, affecting your work, or simply will not stop ringing you are probably a tinnitus sufferer. There is no real cure for tinnitus, but there are lots of remedies and a great deal of hope for a cure.
It's not all bad news because even bothersome tinnitus is usually caused by something easily treatable and will go away once the underlying condition is taken care of. Ear infections are a top cause. Some adults can have an ear infection and not even know it because they may not experience the same level of pain that kids do. Fluid buildup is a big cause of ear sounds, however if the problem is viral the only thing to do is wait it out. Eventually the virus will go away and the fluid will drain but see your doctor if things get worse instead of better.
The build up of ear wax can cause ear ringing and other sounds. Ear wax is a natural secretion that we need, however it can build up to a point where it becomes a problem. It can even clog the ear canal and cause all sorts of sounds and sensations in the ears. The fix to this is a good old fashioned ear cleaning. This is something you really should not do yourself. A doctor or a nurse can easily irrigate all the wax out of your ear. If you must treat yourself at home, use ear drops from the pharmacy and follow all directions precisely. Never stick anything, not even a cotton swab, in your ear to clean it.
Just by your doctor looking into your ears and talking to you about your symptons, he or she can tell whether it is an issue of infection, wax or something more serious like hearing loss with tinnitus. Even young adults who are repeatedly exposed to loud noises with no ear protection can lose their hearing and suffer from tinnitus, so in this case prevention is key. Many senior citizens suffer age related hearing loss and ear buzzing, which may be treated with a hearing aid or tinnitus masking device worn in the ear.
