If you have just started to experience a ringing in your ears it can be a worrying experience. You will be wondering what is causing it, and how serious it could be. You will also want to know how long it is going to last and if there is something that can be done about it. Or will tinnitus go away on its own?
In this article, I will try to answer some of these questions, and hopefully put your mind at rest.
Tinnitus is a physical condition, which causes the affected person to hear sounds which have no external source, and can be caused by anything which affects the ears. Almost everyone will experience these symptoms at some stage in their lives.
Although there are a number of different causes, the most common is hearing damage due to exposure to excessive noise, whether from loud music, machinery, firearms or any other source. Normally the damage is only temporary and the symptoms will fade away in a matter of hours, or perhaps a few days.
Repeated or prolonged exposure can cause more lasting damage, so it is advisable to avoid excessively loud situations, or if this is not possible make sure you use some form of hearing protection.
If your symptoms persist for more than a few days, you may need to consider other possible causes, which could include a build up of earwax, ear or sinus infections and allergies. High blood pressure is another common cause. Although not necessarily serious, they will need to be treated in order to beat your tinnitus.
Many medications list tinnitus as a possible side effect. You may need to discuss this matter with your doctor to determine if this may be a factor.
Although in many cases tinnitus is temporary, unfortunately this is not always the case. Because there are so many possible causes, it is not always possible to find a simple solution, and many people find themselves facing the prospect of living with their tinnitus.
There is no need to lose hope. Thousands of people have found a solution to their problem in the form of a complete "cure to tinnitus" program that addresses all the factors that may be causing your symptoms.
You could be one of them.
