I have a ringing in my ears. i only hear it when it is quiet and it is loudest when i pay more attention it. I have had it for 5 years at least, i can only remember having it for 5 years, i am pretty sure though it is more. I am only 13, and i dont want to be stuck with this for the rest of my life. I have read a lot about tinitus on websites. Is there any treatment/cure for this? I cant sleep at night, I ofter lose a lot of sleep over this. It is a loud ringing when everything is quiet yet i dont hear it with people talking. I hear it on airplanes though. It does not hurt my ears though
Please dont give me a link to a website with the answer, becuase that what you gave me is not an answer.
Please dont give me a huge explaination of tinitus, i already know what it is. If you would though give me a long answer, please summarize it at the end
Please no stupid answers like wow or sucks to be you.
Thank you
If someone helps me clear this up, i swear i will give you my soul this is so bad
The ringing is a very high pitch noiseand is in both ears, i can hear it if i cover my ears too.
I do not listen to loud music and my hearing is better than most kids that i know, mainly because i dont listen to loud music.
I am not around loud things a lot, probably a little less than the average kid my age.
Sorry but the government? That is a little out of my range, but yes i do have filling but i dont remember getting the ringing after the fillings were placed in

I have this problem too. I’ve had it since I was a kid. It is tinnitus. If you haven’t already told your doctor, do so right away just to make sure it’s not something else. There is no cure for tinnitus. You can try those over the counter vitamins at Walgreens. I doubt they will work. I have difficulty sleeping at night because of it too. So what I do is I have a fan going. The sound of the rushing air drowns out the horrific ringing. Of course silence will amplify the ringing so the fan helps. You can also try soft music which worked for me as a kid. Now that I’m older the fan helps best. Avoid loud music and those ear buds that come with the IPODs. This will make it worse. I hope this helps.
Tell your mom/dad so that they can set up an ENT MD appt to find out whats causing this, I can imagine that it is very uncomfortable
Tinnitus is the name for these head noises, and they are very common. Nearly 36 million Americans suffer from this discomfort. Tinnitus may come and go, or you 302may be aware of a continuous sound. It can vary in pitch from a low roar to a high squeal or whine, and you may hear it in one or both ears. When the ringing is constant, it can be annoying and distracting. More than seven million people are afflicted so severely that they cannot lead normal lives.
Most tinnitus comes from damage to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. The health of these nerve endings is important for acute hearing, and injury to them brings on hearing loss and often tinnitus. If you are older, advancing age is generally accompanied by a certain amount of hearing nerve impairment and tinnitus. If you are younger, exposure to loud noise is probably the leading cause of tinnitus, and often damages hearing as well.
There are many causes for "subjective tinnitus," the noise only you can hear. Some causes are not serious (a small plug of wax in the ear canal might cause temporary tinnitus). Tinnitus can also be a symptom of stiffening of the middle ear bones (otosclerosis).
Tinnitus may also be caused by allergy, high or low blood pressure (blood circulation problems), a tumor, diabetes, thyroid problems, injury to the head or neck, and a variety of other causes including medications such as anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, sedatives, antidepressants, and aspirin. If you take aspirin and your ears ring, talk to your doctor about dosage in relation to your size.
Treatment will be quite different in each case of tinnitus. It is important to see an otolaryngologist to investigate the cause of your tinnitus so that the best treatment can be determined.
Tinnitus Treatment
In most cases, there is no specific treatment for ear and head noise. If your otolaryngologist finds a specific cause of your tinnitus, he or she may be able to eliminate the noise. But, this determination may require extensive testing including X-rays, balance tests, and laboratory work. However, most causes cannot be identified. Occasionally, medicine may help the noise. The medications used are varied, and several may be tried to see if they help.
The following list of DOs and DON’Ts can help lessen the severity of tinnitus:
* Avoid exposure to loud sounds and noises.
* Get your blood pressure checked. If it is high, get your doctor’s help to control it.
* Decrease your intake of salt. Salt impairs blood circulation.
* Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea, cola, and tobacco.
* Exercise daily to improve your circulation.
* Get adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
* Stop worrying about the noise. Recognize your head noise as an annoyance and learn to ignore it as much as possible.
Concentration and relaxation exercises can help to control muscle groups and circulation throughout the body. The increased relaxation and circulation achieved by these exercises can reduce the intensity of tinnitus in some patients.
Masking. Tinnitus is usually more bothersome in quiet surroundings. A competing sound at a constant low level, such as a ticking clock or radio static (white noise), may mask the tinnitus and make it less noticeable. Products that generate white noise are also available through catalogs and specialty stores.
Hearing Aids. If you have a hearing loss, a hearing aid(s) may reduce head noise while your are wearing it and sometimes cause it to go away temporarily. It is important not to set the hearing aid at excessively loud levels, as this can worsen the tinnitus in some cases. However, a thorough trial before purchase of a hearing aid is advisable if your primary purpose is the relief of tinnitus.
Tinnitus maskers can be combined within hearing aids. They emit a competitive but pleasant sound that can distract you from head noise. Some people find that a tinnitus masker may even suppress the head noise for several hours after it is used, but this is not true for all users.
Prior to any treatment of tinnitus or head noise, it is important that you have a thorough examination and evaluation by your otolaryngologist. An essential part of your treatment will be your understanding of tinnitus and its causes.
Do you listen to loud music with headphones on. ??? Shoot firearms with no hearing protection??? Get used to it if you answered either question with a yes. You have probably damaged the high frequency auditory nerves and it as of today is irreparable.
Listen to grandma and grandpa and turn the music down.
sorry pal it’s the government. See they’re working with all the dentists to have them put metal fillings in your teeth. That way they can track you with the satelite and read your thoughts. You must be very smart. you’re gonna do some great things in life. Well I guess not good for the man . no seriously it’s called tendanitos (i think that’s how it’s spelled) Millions of people have it. It will never go away but you will get so used to it that you will barely hear it. In about 10 more years. Try staying away from microwaves and don’t use your cell phone.
