Welcome to Ellen’s ‘Get Your Tinnitus Questions Answered’ Video Series… Episode #4

1. Question #1: Will the ringing eventually get louder in my ears?

A: It is extremely difficult to predict if someone’s tinnitus will get louder as tinnitus is very random and unpredictable however in most cases as time goes by the volume and intensity of one’s tinnitus will often increase without a specific reason.

2. Question #2: What causes the ringing to be louder sometimes than other times?

A: The ringing can be louder when one is anxious or stressed, it often will seem to be more severe in the evenings when the body is tired and one is trying to go to sleep as then our surroundings are definitely more quiet and we do not have the everyday surrounding noise to mask it.

3. Question #3: Once you have had tinnitus, and it seems to have gone away, do you always have to be careful of fearful of it returning?

A: Yes, it is important to take major care in ensuring that you do everything within your control to avoid exposing yourself to things that could cause tinnitus.

Question #1: How to prevent Tinnitus ?

A: It can be very difficult to prevent tinnitus as there are so many things that can cause damage but one needs to be aware that the ears and inner ear structure are extremely delicate and sensitive therefore one has to take as much precaution as possible to avoid unnecessary exposure to loud noise, alleviate stress and generally to live a moderately healthy life.

Question #2: Why are tinnitus noises heard only by me inside my heard while anybody outside cant hear and so cant help?

A: It is important to note that the noise heard by the person suffering from tinnitus originates from inside the ear or the brain (as with stress induced tinnitus) and not from the environment that is why others cannot hear this noise.

Question #3: Will stress-related tinnitus go when the stress goes?

A: Often with stress induced tinnitus if one manages to eradicate the stress it can substantially reduce the volume of tinnitus but not necessarily eliminate or eradicate the tinnitus.
