My Right Ear Has Been Ringing - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Elvis Fonzie Dean · 01-24-2007, 09:16 AM

For the past few days my right ear has been ringing.I've been eating better and cut out soda.It seems to get louder when im bed.I guess when i'm on the computer, the computer sound covers it up.I'm 18, so I don't know if its most likely temporary.The sound is like it's coming from the back of my head.hard to describe, but it's not a whistling sound that keeps at one tone.I have a slight headache also.Don't know if it's related.I'm going to the doctor soon, but I want to hear your suggestions in the meantime.Thanks.

Sounds like a build up of wax.

The Doc will probably syringe your ears, which just involves squirting water into your ear to break up the wax.

It's a strange sensation getting done, but your hearing will be amazing for about week afterwords.

It also sounds like tinnitis, caused by loud sound.
Whether it's that or wax, there's a safe, inexpensive remedy. It will remove wax - without the need for costly doctor visits. I had blocked ears, and looked it up on the net. The thing I found over and over is Hydrogen Peroxide(H2O2). I tried it and it works just like they all say.
Do a search to get directions how to do it. Also, NEVER stick an object in the ears.

If there's no ear pain, it's not serious.

my husband had to have that done once. He was amazed at all the crap they got out of his ears. FOr about a week, everytime I would say something he'd say "stop yelling! i have new ears now"...what a dork.

THats the sound of no one caring about this

This article on Tinnitus may be helpful. Since you're having a problem that hasn't been diagnosed yet, I wouldn't attempt any home remedies if I were you. Good luck at the doctors. Keep us posted.

My left ear keeps plugging up. It's always that way when I wake up and it goes away later on in the day. It's a pain in the ass and it's been going on for almost a week.

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped me.You also helped me feel better.And, I think the ringing has reduced a lot.Hopefully when I lay down to sleep next time I don't get it back.

Thanks for the link, Janice.I'll do some of those things.I'll also definitely consider the advice other people gave me in this thread.

Sorry about your ear, Ashlee.You should look it up and go to the doctor just incase.Better safe than sorry.

This is something you should definitely get checked soon. My mom has been having problems with her ear for years now, and she has been experiencing ringing in her left ear for a couple months. Yesterday she went to the doctor, and he told her that she was losing her hearing, and that she needs a hearing aid. In her situation, the doctor told her that the ringing will probably never go away, and that she will eventually end up going deaf in her left ear.

Not saying that yours is the same situation, but It is good that you're going to the doctor to get it checked out soon. Especially if you're young. It's good to get these things checked out, and taken care of when you're young, instead of waiting until you're older, and nothing can be done. Anyway, I hope your ear gets better soon. I wish you the best!!

Whatever it is just hope and pray the doctor don;t refer you to the ENT doctor like they did me. It was all down hill from there

I really hope some miracle or treatment that you two didn't hear about can help her.

Thanks.My ear has improved and I have an appointment on Tuesday.I'm feeling better also now.

Once again, thanks everyone who helped and gave info.

What happened?

My mom has had tinnitus for years. The doctor told her there is nothing to stop it. In the beginning it drove her crazy. Some days it would be light and some days it would be loud. But eventually she got used to it.
