Tinnitus Sounds
Tinnitus sounds may come in different types although the most common is a ringing noise, thus, the condition is also known to many as ringing in the ears. The sound heard by a sufferer, generally, is related with its root cause.
Ringing bells, chirping, roaring, hissing, and fluttering noises are the tinnitus sounds associated with noise-induced cochlear damage. Whistling, whizzing, rushing and roaring, on the other hand, can be heard by sufferers if the root cause is stress. Furthermore, if it is allergies or sinus problems, either a clucking, cracking, gurgling, or high-pitched sound may be heard.
When you experience either one of these noises, go visit your doctor as soon as possible. The unwanted sound can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition, and it is important to have it diagnosed the soonest time possible. A physician can do some exams to determine the root cause, and it would help if you take note of your observations relating to the unwanted sound that you are experiencing. If yours is one of the many cases where determining the root cause proves to be difficult, a specialized test may have to be conducted, which could either be X-rays, audiogram, evoked response audiometry, and residual inhibition, among others.
Besides the ones mentioned above, other causes of ear ringing include Meniere’s Disease, presbycusis or age-associated loss of hearing, earwax impaction, head injuries, muscle tension, thyroid disorder, and vitamin B12 deficiency.
The unwanted can vary in loudness and pitch. It may come soft enough to be ignored, but it can also be loud and consistent enough to negatively affect your day-to-day living. In order for you not to fall prey to the classic tinnitus cycle, you have to take actions in coping with it properly. Basically, this cycle starts from you experiencing the ringing noise. Sleeping then becomes a problem for you. In effect, you easily get tired and stressed the following day. The level of the unwanted sound is then aggravated, and the cycle can go on if nothing is done about it.
To prevent this from happening, you can make use of the remedies for ear ringing. One is the use of white noise maskers to help you fall asleep at night. Another example is engaging in activities that relax you, which is one way of controlling stress.
Furthermore, certain steps can be done to avoid having any of the tinnitus sounds. Doing the basics like setting your stereo or MP3 player to a moderate volume and wearing protective devices when going to very noisy places definitely help.

- What one person describes as a “high pitched ringing” could well be described by another as a “whistling” or even as a “continuous screaming in my ears.”
