Occasional Ringing In Ear
Crickets, crickets, crickets.
'had occasional ear ringing in either ear for a few seconds since childhood. To learn i have some incurable problem? I don't get it.' Al Hegab: Says who?: you benefit from seeing a specialist anyhow, the least woul. Sooner or later everyone gets that: a sudden loud ringing in one ear that momentarily drowns out external noise. The episode lasts well under half a minute and is also believed to be caused by a benign muscle spasm inside the ear.
I hear them all the time, even in the winter. I hear them more in my left ear than my right. At times they are loud — really loud. I have tinnitus.
I’m not alone, as nearly 36 million Americans suffer from tinnitus or head noises. The sound (or sounds) may be intermittent in nature or annoyingly continuous in one or both ears. Mine is continuous, and yes, at times, downright annoying. It is especially annoying when I’m enjoying one of my favorite pastimes — bow hunting. One thing I treasure about this sport is its solitude and quiet. Unfortunately, over the past number of years (I can’t remember when the tinnitus started), I have to put up with the high-pitched sounds of those crickets.
Many people wonder what causes tinnitus. Experts believe it comes from damage to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. The health of these nerve endings is important for acute hearing, and injury to them brings on hearing loss and often, tinnitus. In most cases, there is no specific treatment for ear or head noise, but it is important that if you start experiencing these noises, you have yourself checked out by a qualified audiologist and an ear, nose and throat specialist. They can rule out any worrisome problem and provide guidance to lessen the severity of tinnitus.

Why are your ears ringing?
Ear Ringing Symptom
Your ears are telling you something when they're ringing, says Sean Kinden, a clinical audiologist in Gander, Newfoundland. 'It's their way of letting us know that something is not working quite the way it should be.' According to the Sound Therapy Healing Centre, over 360,000 Canadians have ringing ears, a condition known as tinnitus. It can affect adults young or old, it can be constant or intermittent, and it can be extremely bothersome or a light background noise. But tinnitus can have many causes.
