Yeah, so i have this UNBEARABLE ringing in my ear. Saturday I had a headache last until Sunday around noon. Then, I started hearing this ringing, loudly. I can barely sleep, yesterday I listened to a bit of music to help. that’s why i’m up. Today at school it was also horrible, i kept asking people if they had heard a ringing, and nobody heard anything. so, i did some research. do i need to see a doctor? i’m only 17, and this is driving me crazy….thank you…
if you don’t think this would be tinnitus, what would you think?
More tips, I use to listen to loud, loud music from i’d say 12-15. then, i just stopped, listened to more classic rock. and i never take medicine, i hate to….but saturday i took 2 imodium…and 2 the next day. It was terrible, i don’t even take them when i get migraines. Help, please. ASAP. because i have to figure a way to sleep! Thanks for your answers! i’ve had it 3 days straight….i didn’t think it was really possible. i’ll talk to my mom…
Since it came on so suddenly, my guess is that it’s not tinnitus.
You can sometimes get a ringing from too much aspirin or other medications.
It could be indicative of a number of things. See your doctor.
im 14 years old and i suffer from tinnitus. i was up last night crying because i feel as if i cant take it any more i was thinking about the fact that its never going to get better and that i cant actually remember what silence sounds like im really scared that its going to get worse. i want to achieve huge things in life but i feel so depressed about it, most of the time i can just forget about it but as soon as there is no noise i can hear it again. the white noise thing does not help at all because it is not a hissing i hear its a combination of a very high frequency noise sound a very low frequency sound. i don’t want any rubbish remedies that just make me feel worse about it. i was thinking about organising some kind of event that would catch the media’s attention and help raise awareness of the condition but i need someones help from the outside preferably an adult.
Jason,
Valium, Xanax and Klonopin are benzodiazepine drugs that many doctors prescribe for tinnitus. These are conventional medications which achieve only limited success in tinnitus relief, and usually their bothersome side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation often discourage use.
They are addicting to varying degrees and cannot be used continuously for a long period of time. They are helpful in reducing tinnitus symptoms and aid in sleeping. Valium is the most addicting of these and is not used often for this reason.
Xanax is very popular and is prescribed often for tinnitus. However, the ATA (American Tinnitus Association) report on medications that cause tinnitus lists Xanax as causing it in 6.6% of cases.
There is actually no cure for tinnitus with the conventional medicine. Actually, since last many years, the onus has been on the herbal industry to provide relief, if any, to tinnitus sufferers.
Tinnitus is usually due to damage to the microscopic ends of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. Perfect hearing is possible only if these nerves remain healthy and any damage to these nerves result in tinnitus or hearing impairment.
Some herbal remedies exist which can be used to support all body systems involved in helping the ear to perform its tasks of clear hearing and balance, as well as the circulatory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems.
Some of the most common herbs & biochemic tissue salts used are • Ginkgo Biloba is excellent for a number of cerebral and circulatory disorders. It is probably the most widely-used herb for tinnitus and many sufferers swear by this natural ingredient. • Rosemary dilates and strengthens blood vessels and is an excellent circulation tonic. Rosemary is particularly useful for tinnitus that is caused or worsened by high blood pressure and other circulatory conditions. • Avena Sativa is effective in reducing high cholesterol levels which can contribute to circulatory problems which cause tinnitus. • Wild Hyssop s also useful in reducing pain and inflammation. • Salicylic Ac. (30C) is indicated for tinnitus with loud roaring or ringing sounds, which may be accompanied by deafness or vertigo. This remedy is particularly useful in people whose symptoms began with a bout of flu, Meniere’s disease or long-term use of aspirin. • Ferrum phosphoricum (Ferrum phos. D6) is a homeopathic biochemic tissue salt which supports the absorption of iron in the body. The protective myelin sheath which surrounds all nerve tissue needs iron to supply this vital nutrient to the nerve cells it encases. Regular use of Ferrum phos. can help to prevent dizziness, headaches and restlessness and is of great benefit for those who tend to feel irritable, tense and tired. • Magnesium phosphate (Mag. phos. D6) well-known as a homeopathic painkiller, Mag. phos. is also of great benefit to the health of the nerves. It acts as a natural anti-spasmodic and a nerve and muscle relaxant and is also frequently recommended for stress headaches.
Hope all this helps
Good Luck!

If you are suffering from even mild tinnitus then you can end up feeling very annoyed and driven to distraction. To banish tinnitus is not so difficult, but first of all it is essential to identify what the cause is.
There can be many factors that lead to tinnitus. Usually it is the symptom of another medical issue. To get a correct diagnosis is going to require a visit to your local doctor. They will examine your inner ear as well as asking you a series of questions which together will provide the information of what the actual cause is.
If you have had a ringing sound in your ears ever since a sports injury or a road traffic accident then there may be tissue damage that needs to be addressed. If you suffer any form of head trauma it is essential to make an immediate appointment with a health specialist. If the problem is due to an infection then a GP is likely to prescribe ear drops or oral antibiotics.
No matter what the doctor”s diagnosis there are certain steps that you can take to help alleviate the problem. Cut back on your exposure to loud noise. If you listen to a TV on full volume or play back MP3 tracks at their loudest then you are only going to increase the problem. You may have difficulty at night trying to sleep due to the constant noise in your ears even when there is no external source. It can be useful to fall asleep with a radio on quietly in the background. This will prevent the white noise from keeping you awake.
There can be various alterations in your diet that can lessen or increase the amount of tinnitus. Try removing specific products such as coffee or cigarettes to see if there is a change in the duration and volume of ringing.
