Yes, chemicals can cause permanent ear ringing (tinnitus).

The chemicals which are best studied include aminoglycosides (a type of antibiotic, such as gentamycin). Not only do these chemicals cause tinnitus, but also deafness.

There are many other medications which can cause tinnitus, which is often dose related. In addition there are countless chemicals which can cause tinnitus upon exposure. Most of these chemicals come with an MSDS sheet to explain the risks of exposure.

What is a remedy for ringing in the ears?

Some ringing in the ears occurs as a result of hearing loud noise and will subside after a period of time; but sometimes the damage is permanent and cannot be fixed. Turning on the radio or TV may distract you from ringing in the ears during periods of silence, but severe ringing can be extremely annoying and if permanent is called tinnitus. There are a few over-the-counter products for ringing in the ear. One is Lipo-Flavinoid, which is a supplement usually found alongside the vitamins in the pharmacy. This product tends to be very expensive and some people say it does not work. Another product -- which is a reasonably priced homeopathic ear drop -- is called Ring Relief and can be found with the ear-wax removers in your local pharmacy.
