Ringing in Ears
Ringing In The Ears
Hearing ringing in ears is not always caused by a serious condition. Sometimes a build up of ear wax or even stress can cause the ears to ring.
While this can be annoying, it is not as serious as tinnitus which is a ringing of the ears that is accompanied by nausea, vertigo and dizziness.
There are some ways that one can stop the ringing in ears that one can do at home without the consult of a physician. If you do have ringing with the above symptoms, go to your doctor before you take any action.
There may be a more serious issue.
The following are 2 ways that may help ringing in ears:
- Every drug store sells ear drops that are known to help ease the pressure of too much ear wax which can cause the ears to ring. These drops are sometimes followed by a suction device such as a syringe without a needle that can express the excess wax safely.If you prefer not to pay the price for an expensive kit, you can use olive oil and a syringe in the same way.
Warm up the olive oil and put it in the ear.
Allow it to sit for a day or two with a cotton ball holding it in.
Flush with warm water and use the syringe to express the wax.
If this makes you uncomfortable, your doctor can also do this for you. - Hydrogen peroxide works great at cleaning out the inner ear canal. Simply pour or have someone pour some hydrogen peroxide into the ear canal. Allow it to sit for a few minutes and then flush with warm water.
The main thing to remember is to never put a cotton swab into the ear canal. These were made for cleaning the outer ear, not the inner ear.
If you have any questions, your health care professional can answer them for you.
