I've had this constant noise in my ears for about 2 years now. I don't even know exactly when it started, it just came on gradually. It's bearable most of the time, but when it's quiet indoors it really bothers me. Sometimes it even stops me from sleeping. I went to an ENT specialist - he checked me out and said: everything's fine with your ears, I can't see anything wrong. What am I supposed to do now? Just live with this noise for the rest of my life? Please advise if anyone knows anything about this. Thanks in advance!
Blimey, I've got tinnitus too! And the thing is, I don't hear it when there are other sounds around, but as soon as it gets quiet, that's it, it starts up!!

Turn on some quiet music and set the clocks to tick; you probably can hear up to 25,000 Hz, while ordinary people only hear up to 20,000 hertz.

When it is quiet, your ear becomes more sensitive, and you can hear high-frequency sounds.

We would do a head tomography just in case. You never know what might be wrong.
Optimists who comfort themselves with the idea that they simply have "good hearing," type "Tinnitus" into a search engine. It could be a symptom of serious health conditions.
I had those noises after the sauna too! They did go away eventually, though!!

You should see a cardiologist; it could be related to your blood pressure.

For those experiencing tinnitus, do not console yourself with having good hearing; humans cannot hear above 10,000 hertz. To perceive eight, you need super silence.
Tinnitus is a condition known as TINNITUS. Buy TANAKAN from the pharmacy and complete a course, then take a break and repeat the course. It's best to find a good ENT specialist.

Osteochondrosis. A good massage is needed and it will all go away.

How old are you? This is observed with high blood pressure. Or, if you have myopia, such symptoms can also occur.

An adult with good hearing can hear up to 20,000 Hz, and a child can hear up to 24,000 Hz.
Check an acoustics reference book.

My boyfriend had tinnitus daily for three months. The doctors found nothing. I found a lot of folk remedies online. One tablespoon of dill seeds steeped in 1 litre of boiling water. Let it infuse for an hour. Drink half a glass 2-3 times a day before meals. After two weeks, it all went away. (The treatment is designed for three months.) He also started eating properly, cutting out fatty and fried foods. I hope this helps you.

My acupuncturist mentioned something about it being related to the liver. Possibly the kidneys as well. And that number 17 confirms it.

These could be earwax blockages. The noise resembles the sound of rain. Please visit an otolaryngologist to have them examined and gently flushed out. And you must not clean your ears with cotton buds.

When I developed tinnitus, I immediately went to see an ENT specialist. The ENT said everything was fine on their end and referred me to a neurologist. Cervical osteochondrosis was diagnosed. I was treated with the "MILTA" device, electro-massage, and various injections for about two weeks. It all went away.
Author, I understand you; the noise is terribly distracting and irritating. Just in case, go and see a neurologist as well.

When I had tinnitus, I had an ultrasound of my blood vessels, and they discovered osteochondrosis. This was the cause of the tinnitus, especially at night.
My grandfather has tinnitus due to high blood pressure. He has been taking medication to lower it his whole life, but it's not helping anymore.

Noise can also be observed in healthy individuals who spend most of their time in noisy environments. I recall reading about this somewhere as a disease of big cities.

Gulia, I've also been suffering for a long time. I've seen an ENT specialist and an audiologist—everything is fine on their end. I visited a neurologist and had a REG done, which revealed that I have very high intracranial pressure, even though I've never had headaches. They prescribed treatment, and I'm getting injections. So far, no changes.

My mum has been suffering from tinnitus for several years now, has undergone three surgeries, but all to no avail... home remedies don't help... neither do pills... she can't sleep at night and is in agony, I'm at a complete loss as to what to do...
I've had tinnitus for about four years now. I've recently decided to take it more seriously. I've started doing ear massages and plan to undergo a blood vessel cleansing. I believe it should help. You can see how I'm doing it here: http://b21v.ru/shum-v-ushah-lechenie-ushey/

Hello. I'm 22 years old. I have the same problem as the thread's author. I'll tell my story in order, so it might help other frustrated people in the future. It all started at the end of 2011. At first, there was a slight noise that appeared when I went to bed, i.e., almost in complete silence. Being a person with a technical mindset, I began to analyse the situation. Initially, I assumed it was related to technical noise (as mentioned above, it's due to constant noise from cars, aeroplanes, etc. In short, due to heavy noise exposure on the ears). In my case, I thought it was connected to my computer. It was very noisy when operating, and I spent a lot of time at it. I decided to test this. I replaced the computer with an almost silent one and used it for four months. Meanwhile, the noise gradually increased in intensity. Therefore, it wasn't technical noise. My next assumption was optimistic. It was that I had started to hear high-frequency sound signals, but when the noise grew to an annoyingly loud level, even during the day when talking to people, it could be heard, so that idea was dismissed. Eventually, I decided to see a doctor. (I had endured it until the last moment because I don't like doctors, or rather their indifferent attitude—I don't mean to offend the good doctors who treat patients with heart and empathy.) So, I went to an ENT specialist (paid). He gave me a "superficial" examination and referred me to an audiologist to check for hearing loss. It turned out there wasn't any. And she (the audiologist) referred me to a neurologist, supposedly it could be related to the blood vessels in the neck and head. I went to the neurologist. After an examination and some tests (ultrasound of the head and neck, fundus examination), the neurologist didn't give a clear answer but suggested it might be vascular and prescribed vasodilators and various vitamins. I took them for 1.5 months. During the treatment, the noise decreased and stopped being irritating, but it didn't disappear. After finishing the treatment, I decided to wait a bit to see what would happen next. Continuation below ->

Damn, the noise started getting louder again and I had pain in the back of my head when turning it, though not every time, just occasionally. Back to the neurologist. She says - cervical osteochondrosis, prescribed massage and water treatments (swimming). Started the treatment. While there was no progress from the treatment, I came up with a new theory (after reading articles online initially) that it might be related to nasal congestion. But here's the nuance, my nose was breathing, but somehow strangely. More precisely, the nose is clear, but breathing is a bit difficult. Gathering knowledge from the internet, I decided that everything revolves around the sinuses (from chronic rhinitis and sinusitis to sinus inflammations). Decided to try sinusitis drops. Bought Tizin. It treats everything that could be wrong with the nose))) Started using them, the next day the noise decreased, and sometimes it was completely gone. But then the question arises, could the osteochondrosis treatment have helped?!) Stopped using the drops again, the noise came back. I sighed with a bit of relief, at least having found the cause. Used them for three days. The noise comes and goes (it was completely absent one more time). Decided to see an ENT specialist and tell them all about it. After all, self-medication isn't the best idea))) Went to see them today, after my story and a frank hint for a re-examination, they looked into my nose, but more carefully this time, and noticed that either my septum is deviated or something else is crooked in my nose (already forgot what) and said that the ringing could be because of that. I asked for an explanation. In short, the essence is this. Because of this deviation, something is pressing on the channels (didn't specify which), causing swelling, which can lead to tinnitus. Verdict: prescribed expensive drops (400 rubles) and vitamin B (intramuscular injections). Said if everything is correct, the swelling should go down and the noise disappear. But maybe later, it might be necessary to have an operation to prevent such nonsense from happening again. So. I haven't started the treatment yet. Will begin tomorrow, and we'll see how it goes. That's my story, hope it helps someone.

P.S. Regarding doctors. Here's a clear example. An ENT specialist and a neurologist. The ENT dismissed it, although they could have found the cause during the first examination, or at least prescribed medication to rule something out. Which is exactly what the neurologist did. And yet, they made a diagnosis (though it's not related to the noise), but I do have osteochondrosis, and that needs treatment too. And one more thing—don't self-medicate! What I've written is for reference only, so you can pay attention, in case you have the same thing (or something similar). After all, noise can be caused by the nose, osteochondrosis, kidneys, blood pressure, etc. Just look for a good, responsible doctor.
Get well soon!!!!

Tinnitus has many causes, but very often it begins with the development of auditory neuritis. First, there's the noise, then a gradual, almost imperceptible decline in hearing and speech discrimination. This condition is not curable; they may suggest courses of medication that improve cerebral blood circulation. I've been dealing with this for 10 years now. I've been examined everywhere possible and have taken countless medications. The constant tinnitus has plunged me into a depressive state, and I've started having panic attacks. It's awful... The only thing that provides some relief is hearing aids, which dampen this phenomenon. I want to try ear massage, but I don't have much hope. My mother and grandmother have the same issue, so it seems to be hereditary as well.

Hello, I came across your page,
and honestly, I'm surprised at how little doctors still know about this condition - TINNITUS.
Yes, it's a noise, a whistling in the ears. We live in Germany, and my husband has had it for three years now.
There are many causes of this illness; one should check the neck, teeth, spine, but in most cases, it's due to nervous stress. Simply put, the body can't cope with stress, and as with my husband, the nerve hairs/endings in the ear start to die off from stress because they're poorly supplied with blood. If tinnitus appears, it's urgent (at least here in Germany, all ear/nose/throat doctors know this) to get infusions into the bloodstream or take tablets (honestly, I can't say which ones, I'm not a doctor myself). My husband went after a couple of months, and it was already too late. Over time, it gets worse and worse; now he's on sick leave, can't even work, can't hear out of one ear due to the noise, can't even sleep. We've tried everything possible, acupuncture - which helps many people!, massages, tablets, etc. We don't know what to do; from work stress last week, he had three episodes of hearing loss - the noise increased tenfold, I thought my husband would literally jump out of the window, I don't know how he'll endure it, we're trying to keep going. My advice - try everything, but under a doctor's supervision; I don't recommend putting any homemade tinctures in the ear to avoid burning it.
For many, TINNITUS goes away; you just need to see a doctor in time - the problem, I think, is finding a good one. Good luck to everyone!

And by the way, my husband has also started experiencing panic attacks; the doctor said that if the condition progresses this way, many people need support with medication—antidepressants. Don't refuse them if you're feeling unwell; half of Europe takes them. If a person can't handle stress on their own, it's better this way than to jump out of a window!
My husband also tried a hearing aid (borrowed from the doctor temporarily), but these devices are not yet advanced enough in technology for tinnitus; they're mainly for those who can't hear. At least it didn't help him—the noise didn't go away, and when you turn it on, there's even an echo in the ears. They recommend surgery to insert an implant—a Cochlear implant—but we read online that there's no guarantee of 100% improvement. We've left this surgery as a last resort. It costs around €40,000; here in Germany, in extreme cases like my husband's, the government covers it, but I don't know about Russia.

I also often have tinnitus. I went to a neurologist, who prescribed Mexidol and Cerebrolysin injections, 10 shots each. After completing the course, it went away. However, it starts up again over time. On average, I need to do this about 2-3 times a year.

One possible cause could be temporomandibular joint dysfunction. It's necessary to have a TMJ X-ray. I had the same issue. However, in my case, it was also accompanied by clicking sounds when opening my mouth and swallowing (some people with this condition may not experience clicks). I visited a good orthodontist several times (who immediately warned that treatment could be lengthy—from six months to a year), started wearing a mouthguard, and within a week, things began to improve.

I'm absolutely fed up, sometimes it's just a whistling, a whistling with noise, and at times just a hum. I haven't been able to sleep properly for two years... I've had all the examinations, all the ultrasounds... a tomograph, spent loads of time and money, of course, it's all driving me mad, I'm on the edge...(((

Perhaps my comment might help someone. I developed a ringing in my ears, but there was no headache, just as the original poster described. Over two weeks, I was examined by an ENT specialist, an ophthalmologist, and a neurologist, with the latter referring me for an MRI since none of them could identify the cause. I decided on my own to try taking motherwort tablets, and by the third day, the noise had disappeared. It was due to nerves, although I wasn't consciously aware of any stress—everything seemed fine, but at the same time, my child started nursery, and I returned to work after a three-year maternity leave. That's what caused it all!

I've had this noise for 10 years, I can't take it anymore, and it's only getting worse and louder... So I'm sitting here thinking - should I try buying a Milt device??? Does it have any contraindications? Does anyone know? I'm ready to pay any amount, as long as it helps.

Nothing was helping either, now I'm shelling out 5k for each session with a neurologist-osteopath who promised to help... and before that, I went to another one for three years... where is the way out????????????????????????????????????????????????? Who knows everything about this MILTA? On their website, there are only prices and guarantees but no description, it's a bit strange.
