Tinnitus

It can be an infection in your ears, Herpes, or a cold or anything i dont know

Tinnitus is a condition where the patient complains of a constant ringing noise in the ear even though there is no external source of noise. It can be caused when the ear is injured by a sudden loud noise, or it can be caused by a nerve disorder or even a structural anomaly within the ear. A CT scan may be used in a diagnosis.

Sometimes drugs may be used to try and alleviate this condition, but with limited success in many cases. One interesting treatment is where the audiologist plays various sounds to the patient in an attempt to mimic the sound the patient is hearing. When the sound has been duplicated, the patient listens to this sound over headphones for an extended period of time. Finally after a while, the headphones are removed and the patient's brain is fooled into thinking that the sound has disappeared now that the headphones are removed. The patient then no longer hears the noise at all. This doesn't work in every patient.

Methylprednisolone, a corticosteroid, may help reduce inflammation and swelling, which could be beneficial in cases where tinnitus (ringing or hissing in the ears) is caused by inflammatory conditions. However, its effectiveness varies depending on the underlying cause of the tinnitus. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to the specific cause of the symptoms.

The ringing sound produced when glassware is tapped is due to its elastic properties and the way sound waves travel through the material. When struck, the glass vibrates, creating sound waves that resonate at specific frequencies. The clarity of the sound depends on the thickness, shape, and type of glass, with higher-quality glass typically producing a clearer, more sustained ring. This phenomenon is similar to how musical instruments produce sound, utilizing vibrations to create audible tones.

if by dury duty you mean listening to Ian Dury music, it may well be helpful to have tinnitus. Wherever he is now, Ian would surely approve and might even suggest other things you could do with your ears besides ring them... ;O

Yes...ptosis started in one eye about 3 months ago; tinnitus started within the last two weeks. Been to neurologist and had all kinds of tests done (MRIs, Cat Scan, etc.) Everything negative. Have you gotten a diagnosis?

Hi,

In my opinion, probably not. Tinnitus is usually related to some type of nerve activity either caused by damage to the inner ear or within the brain itself. I've dealt with Tinnitus for several years now and it's a real annoyance.

Better off seeing a specialist to get the cause diagnosed as there may be a treatment for your specific type of Tinnitus.

Hope this helps,

No... The nerve for hearing runs inside the skull to the ears and the nerves to the neck and shoulders run completely outside of the skull... There are a lot of things that could cause the ringing of the ear...: previous nerve damage from listening to loud music/sounds over a long period of time [usually in both ears], repeated rupturing of the eardrum from infections/trauma, Meniere's Disease...
