Question: What's the cure for tinitus? and how did i get it?
Answers:

There is no cure for it I'm afraid. There are different causes and since you don't give any details in your question it's hard to know why you are suffering from it. I developed tinnitus after i burst my ear drum. It took about four months to clear. It can also be caused by really loud music...were you at any concerts/nightclubs recently? Some people will suffer for years with this ( I was lucky) and hopefully you won't suffer for too long. It's a horrible and annoying complaint. There are lots of suggestions for curing it online but when I went to a ENT specialist he just said I had to put up with it and if it didn't clear within 6 months he would do a scan.



I've had this condition since childhood. Most of the time I can just ignore it but occasionally it gets worse. My hearing is perfectly alright so I'm not too bothered. However in your case it might just go away of its own accord. Beware of loud music on i pods.



Tinnitus can be caused by impacted cerumen (ear wax) or prolonged use of certain medications such as aspirin or other saliciates as wella as prolonged use of quinine. Warn towell with water placed over ear for an hour of so, or until the warnmess werars off may help



i have it in both ears, there is no cure, all you can do is mask it with other noises such as radio or tv.
