Ringing in ear
I have had nasal and allergy problems since I was about 10. I am 59.I think I almost had mastoids as a boy. I do,not know what mastoids are but my mother always told me this.I have been taking Toprol for about a year or so, but tinnitus has gotten worse in the past 4 months or so. As a young man I went to some concerts where the music was loud and for a day or so my ears rang but that was 35 years ago. For years my tinnitus was not bad and I could go weeks without noticing it much. Could a digestive pill I take called omnigest be a cause? I see that Pepto Bismo and Alka-seltzer are named as causes of tinnitus so maybe Omnigest fits that same category. This time when it has become louder, Toprol which is on your list toprol for blood presssure. I am having it changed Just one regular root canal, I think and regular dental work. No other surgery. The ringing is in one ear but sometimes I think it may be starting in the other ear not sure. Hello William, The most important fact that you mention is that you almost had Mastoids as a boy and that you have had nasal and allergy problems since you were a youngster. It is really not surprising that you are suffering from tinnitus. In all probability You are suffering with two types of tinnitus, namely type 3 tinnitus and type 4 cochlea damage induced tinnitus. William, Mastoiditis is a bacterial infection of the air cells in the bony skull, in the area behind the ear. Mastoiditis almost always occurs as a complication of untreated otitis media with chronic ear drainage problems. You obviously suffered with lots of ear infections as a child and this has caused the cochlea damage which is Type 4 tinnitus and the nasal, allergy and in all likelihood the drainage problem has caused further damage which is Type 3 tinnitus. Sinus Tinnitus The Sinus Ringing ears formula from T-Gone Remedies does its job by thinning down the mucous in the inner ear thus permitting the thickened mucous drain away via the Very narrow eustachian tubes. Many sinusitis sufferers experience a ringing in the ears and tinnitus. The tinnitus is caused in the main because the mucos in the inner ear gets too thick. The inner ear is covered by a mucous menbranes. The membrane produces a thick mucous that cleans the ear In an ideal world this mucous then drains away through the very narrow eustachian tubes The mucous can sometimes accumulate in the middle ear because it is too thick to drain out.. This is when we get a buildup of pressure in the middle ear which leads to inner ear infections and tinnitus. Sinus, Tinitus and Anti-biotics & Anti-histamines Tinitus of this nature is typically experienced by individuals who suffer from sinusitis, rhinitis and allergies. Sinus tinnitus is most often caused by adverse reactions to drugs such as anti-biotics and/or anti-histamines. Sinusitis Tinnitis occurs after long spells of taking anti-biotics and/or antihistamines to treat sinus infection and allergic conditions. Often we have found that it is the anti-biotics & antihistamines that result in the mucous getting too thick to easily drain away. Noise Tinnitus Did you know that there are millions of delicate cells within the cochlea that get stimulated by the enormous pressures of sound waves. As a noise is discerned by the ear the cilia wave around, electrical impulses are sent via the nerves which your brain interprets as sound. This stimulation then cause moving of your teeny-weeny hair cell, very similar to a wheat field progressing in concert with a breeze. These teeny-weeny cells the teeny-weeny auditory nerves are very easily damaged when you expose yourself to loud noise. The auditory nerve damage is all the more further aggravated if you have played in a band or worked in a loud environment for extended periods. The hair cells and nerves are damaged and bent as a result of a severe blow to the head. Your cilia can get bent or even chopped-off and then randomly produce electric pulses directly to the brain which interprets them as a noise, even though there might be an absence of sound. Some form of cochlear damage which leads to a hissing in the ears can often result from ear wax removals, ear candling, swimming accidents, playing sports, surgery to the head or even from middle ear infections. Bad hearing loss is irreversible although the t-gone remedies have proved to be extremely successful in lowering the levels of tinnitus from a damaged cohlea.
