What Causes Buzzing Sound In The Ears?
Question: Why are my ears buzzing for the last few years? They are clean inside. Seems to affect my hearing.
Brief Answer:
Age related weakness of sensitive inner ear and the auditory nerves
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
The noise in the ear at your age could be due to weakness of the auditory nerves and the inner ear. This can worsen gradually with the presence of hypertension.
Do not worry! It is a part of the aging process. I would suggest you to get audiological investigations (such as pure tone audiometry and tympanometry) done to confirm the same. Depending upon the report further management can be planned.
Hope this answers your query. Revert back to me if you have any follow-up queries.
