Can't Sleep My Ears are Ringing - The Causes Of Tinnitus

By Terry Connor

Tinnitus is one of the main reasons for why your ears are ringing but the good news is that although there is no cure all for Tinnitus there are a number of available options to stop your ears from ringing. The treatment for Tinnitus depends on what exactly is causing the problem to begin with. In this article I will go through a number of causes that are responsible for Tinnitus.

A Simple Ear Infection Can Lead To Tinnitus - One of the first things that I tell anyone who is experiencing ringing in their ears is to seek out a doctor immediately to see if there is an infection that is causing the Tinnitus. If there is an infection present the doctor can prescribe an antibiotic to get rid of the infection and hopefully stop your ears from ringing. Remember to take your antibiotic for the entire time that it is prescribed for the last thing you want is the infection to roar back to life.

Tinnitus Can Be Caused By Loud Noises - There is a good reason why your mom and dad were always harping at you to turn your music down as sustained loud noise can cause permanent damage to your hearing. The strong vibration from the music or loud machinery can damage the microscopic nerves in your ears which in turn leads to Tinnitus aka that annoying ringing in your ears. If the Tinnitus was caused from a loud concert your ears should recover and you will be able to stop the ringing in your ears but if the damage was caused from a long time loud noise than you may need to look at surgery or another highly painful medical procedure.

Meniere's Disease Can Cause Tinnitus - Meniere's disease is a rare disorder that creates problems with balance, vertigo and Tinnitus. Meniere's disease is believed to be caused by an increase of pressure in the ears which leads to an increase of fluid buildup. When it comes to treatments for Tinnitus that are tied to Meniere's disease it all depends on how early it is caught which is another great reason to start your Tinnitus treatment quest at the doctors office. If Meniere's Disease is allowed to progress it can cause permanent hearing damage in your ears.

Thankfully with the research done on Tinnitus over the last decade there are now a number of treatments for tinnitus that have proven to be effective. Whether it be by the use of antibiotics and maskers to tinnitus retraining therapy to natural products which have caught the medical world off guard due to their success there is a way now to stop the ringing in your ears.
