Use alcohol to remove water from your ears. Or hydrogen peroxide to clean them and remove excesses with alcohol afterwards. Wax is there for a reason.

My local health food store where I bought my ginkgo tea closed up a few months ago and the ringing in my right ear has thus returned. I just ordered a bulk box of ginkgo. Hopefully retreatment works faster than when I first started treating my tinnitus with ginkgo.

I recommend ginkgo tea or supplements to anyone with tinnitus. Aspirin will still set it off again, but otherwise night time is finally quiet time.

Yo, I just had this happen and was gonna make a thread then found yours... Lost of interesting opinions as to what this is, but to me it sounds like a high pitch, then it fades away... It's been happening a lot lately... That's the only reason why I was interested... I've heard that you get this sound when someone is thinking about you... ? Anyone else hear that?

Bless you...! It is as if I always thought I was the only one on the planet who was going through this ...

I have heard of tinitis, and tried all sorts of 'behavior' changes to make it go away - but NOTHING WORKS!

At least I know I'm not alone (please tell me you not kidding - please).

Those wierd zingers are really freaky. Thankfully they happen pretty infreqently. (so far anyways)

I can trigger my ears to ring. Electro magnetic pulse,


Is what you are hearing.

Ringing of the ears is actually a very normal thing.. lol


Ringing of the ears happen because you've beeb exposed to alot noise poulltion beforhand. that explains the ringing. it goes away shortly after depending on you A. look after your hearing and avoid pro lonf loud music in places such as a nightclub etc.

If you don't mind me saying...

THIS IS NOT A VERY HELPFUL POST

(and learn to spell)

I too have had a loud ringing in my ears for many years but it has been getting worse over the last year or so. Also get the sharp high-pitched noise occasionally which really freaks me out as it is extremely painful. I have very sensitive ears - loud noise makes me want to run and put my head under a pillow or something as it is physically and (I know this sounds weird) psychologically painful. I get very distressed when there is a loud noise that I can't get away from or turn off - it may be something as simple as the next door flat's TV being too loud. The ringing in my ears sometimes gets so loud that I can't help but cry as there is no way to turn it off and putting my head under a pillow just makes it worse as all other sound is blocked off except the ringing! And I don't know if this has anything to do with it but my eyes are becoming more and more light-sensitive. Weird.

Thank you Now_Then for posting this thread. I am 55 and began to notice my ear ringing in my 20's. Your symptoms are much like mine. I guess it's always there but only when it's on our minds. For me the doctors could not help it go away.

I have experienced this. During the summer, a few hours after sunset I can go outdoors and hear insects communicating. Such as crickets and more. When I hear the insects, it nullifies my tinnitus. The only other time I get relief is when I forget about the ringing. I mean, focused on something else. But I still hear it every day.

You know I hear the ringing in my ears as well, especially when I meditate or am just relaxing and it will come out of no where and get louder and louder and then disappear out of no where as well. I find it very interesting that this happens most of the time when I meditate.
