Question:
Is there any remedy for tinnitus or chronic ringing in the ears.?
The tinnitus developed approximately 6 months ago.
Hearing tests confirmed hearing loss from loud noise,
but cannot pick up the ringing that I am experiencing.
With background noise present , conversations are quite difficult to understand. Any ideas?
Answers:
First you need to figure out what's causing the ringing. Are you having sinus problems? Do you have a collection of extra fluid in your inner ear?
There are many things that can cause the ringing, and several treatments that can be done to relieve it- but it may never go away completely. The hearing test won't pick up the ringing, only the hearing loss.
You can have an MRI done of your head so that they can tell if you have fluid in your inner ear, or if the nerve endings in your inner ear are damaged.
If you've seen an ENT, and and aren't satisfied with the results you got you can always get a second opinion.
