Who has ringing in the ears?

[loach71]

I have a 7KHz hiss in my right ear -- probably due to my life as a helo pilot.... I do get relief by running a small fan in my bedroom -- the pseudo-random noise of the
fan seems to quiet the ear hiss. Another area to examine is ear wax accumulation. I prefer to monthly soak my ears with near body temperature almond oil. I heat some almond oil in the microwave oven until it almost matches my body temperature. Don't get it too hot! Lying down on your side, get a helper to instill a few drops of thr warm almond oil in the affected ear until the canal is full. Wait for 1/2 hour and then drain out the almond oil. Repeat the process with warmed hydrogen peroxide (3% solution, from the druggist), but allow it to stay in the ear canal for only 2 minutes. The flush GENTLY with warm water using a rubber ear syringe! This is the procedure used my M.D. (ear nose and throat specialist) -- she recommended I do it monthly. The procedure does relieve my tinnitus to a great extent, but it does not
completely cure it. Another benefit was an extension of the high end of my hearing. Before using these treatments my hearing had a severe drop-off at 12 KHz. After 5 months of these treatments my audiologist noted that the drop-off disappeared -- my hearing in both ears went out to 15.25 KHz with only a 3dB drop! She explained the improvement as being due to the removal of accumulated wax / gunk build-up on the ear drum. In short, the GENTLE and non-mechanical removal of the waxy gunk has allowed the ear drum to resonate at a much higher frequency!

WARNING NOTE -- before you try this procedure, PLEASE consult with a medical professional -- preferably a Medical Doctor who specializes in ear, nose and throat problems. This treatment works for me, but it may not be right for you.

Cheers!

I don’t fancy inserting a few drops of oil into my ears without consulting.

Its ringing in my ears
Just ringing in my ears
What a glorious feelin'
I'm miserable again
I'm down at the clouds
So dark up above
The sun's not in my heart
And I'm ready for slicing my wrists
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the ears
I've a miserable look on my face
I walk down the lane
With an unhappy refrain
Just ringing',
Ringing' in my ears.

Agreed - be careful about trying to flush or clean your ears yourself - every time I tried putting some fluid (water or whatever) in my ears, I just made things worse. As I previously posted, go to a professional who can properly clean your ears. They also can visually inspect your ears innards.

Well I need to get my hide down to the GP to have look at my left-ear I think I have psoriasis growing down the ear canal again. The last time was mid 90’s and the GP took a look at least 4 times but couldn’t find an issue. Least from where the probe was positioned as the psoriasis was cylindrical and to him it looked like a normal ear canal

I managed to extract it after a few days, after I visited the GP.

The sound of it sounded, like a leathery rubbing sound every time I crewed and on top of that I have this god-damn hissy sound in my ears.

There is only so much a GP can do. Discussion of the issue is pointless (unless I or you) went to specialist where a video probe can be placed in the ear. Then I can describe the feeling (while looking at the video) and very likely point out where it is, and then they’ll know what to about it.

Otherwise its just guess work with the GP who has 10 or 15 patients outside waiting therefore they don’t have the luxury for a thorough examination, they often refer you to hospital or an ear expect where they have the video ear inspection kit, and appointments can take weeks.

By a professional, I do mean an ear* specialist.

*ear, nose, throat - otorhinolaryngology

Yeah like last year when I had blocked ears cursed by a throat allegory triggered off by hay fever.

Got it again this morning and what’s on my mind tell it fades away to silence…?

Toothaches now that is bitch when it hits one of us! We can take some pain relief pills for it till we hear, “is it safe” at dentist? LOL Ouuuuhhh AHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! All done! That will be £$100.00 LOL

Headaches come go, I can just about tolerate a headrace without taking any tablets for it.

And then, we have our friend, Mr. Tinnitus that is on our case most days and never ever seems to go away. He comes and goes as and when he pleases.

It causes worry stress that can lead to suicide in some recoded cases and that’s just about it. We hear this sound each day (taunting us) till we lose rational control of ourselves.

I wonder does alcohol make us think its gone away when we get intoxicated as the drink affects the inner-ear that’s why we stubble around because are hearing balance is intoxicated. I never gave it any thought if it does work so that we fall into daze happy mood sleep, thou won’t be good turning up at work drunk pissed as donkey each day LOL.

Then again the drinking we’ll eventually lead to the downfall of ourselves so probably not a good idea. It’s just a thought.
