Suggest Treatment For Ringing In Ears

Damage to sensitive hair cells in the inner ear...
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
Exposure to loud noise for a brief period can damage the sensitive hair cells in the inner ear causing noise induced hearing loss in the higher frequencies. The damage to the hair cells may be subtle or severe depending upon the duration of exposure and the amount of noise.
The ringing in the ears (tinnitus) is usually emitted by the hair cells in the cochlea and the hearing nerve. This gets worsened in various conditions, but more so, when there is damage to the nerves in the higher frequencies.
Most of the times, the tinnitus will resolve by itself without much intervention. If it doesn't get better even after a week, get an audiological evaluation done.
Drink plenty of water, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Try taking nutrition supplements like B-complex. The former and the latter, helps in rejuvenation of the damaged hair cells.
Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
