Are you one of those folks who are plagued by a constant ringing, buzzing, clicking, or whooshing sound in your ears? I am and I can tell you that at times, it can drive me nuts.
Especially if everything is extremely quiet. I live in the country, so when I can't hear the sounds of nature over the roaring in my ears, I can get pretty frustrated.
Until your world goes quiet, you probably won't even realize that you have a problem with ringing in your ears. If you live in a city environment, most likely the white noise, the sound of traffic, the streetlights buzzing, the coming and going of your neighbors and the noise of your own television will keep you from even being aware that you have this constant buzzing going on.
This sent me on a hunt for a cure on the internet. And I have searched long and hard to weed out the cures that don't work and find the ones that do.
Causes of Tinnitus and Ringing in the Ears
There are a whole host of causes that create the constant ringing in the ears -- there are too many to list here, so we're going to take a look at the top causes of ringing and buzzing in the ears:
- Loud Noises
- Head Trauma
- Excessive Alcohol or Caffeine Usage
- Anxiety and/or Depression
- Stress
- Infections (like a body yeast infection)
- Diseases, like Lyme
- Sinus problems
- Excessive earwax
- Fibromyalgia
- Aspirin or Antibiotics
- Excessive exposure to magnetic fields, RF fields (cell phone usage)
- High blood pressure
The most common causes are:
Loud Noises: Spending too much time listening to loud music or spending time in a loud environment can hurt your ears long after you've left the noise. Overly loud noises can cause damage to the ears, leaving lasting trauma and causing whirrings, clickings, and snappings (besides ringing) when you reach a quiet environment.
Head Trauma: You may not even go to the doctor every time you bump your head, but you could have a head injury that is affecting your inner ear and not even know it.
Excessive Caffeine or Alcohol Usage: You can over stimulate the brain by drinking too much caffeine or alcohol, creating an anxious feeling and making you more prone to tinnitus.
Anxiety and/or Depression: Anxiety and depression increase your stress level which can result in a higher than normal blood pressure and a constant ringing in the ears.
Stress: Stress is by far the most common contributor to ringing in the ears. While stress is different for everyone, it has been shown that focused meditation or the use of creative visualization can significantly reduce the stress.
The primary factor in getting rid of any ringing, buzzing, pounding, whirring, or clicking in the ears is to first isolate the cause and treat it or get rid of it. Because there are so many possible causes to your ear noise, it will more than likely take a few runs at trying to find the solution to this nasty ear-ringing problem.
