Suggest Treatment For Ringing In The Ears

Please, if you can take just a few minutes to hear me out. A friend of mine, someone that I look up to, someone that helped me at the time that I needed it the most. He s going through some strange medical conditions that deal with the ear and ringing, And it s got him to think about some rather unsettling things. I can t let something happen to him. I owe him that much. So please, I want to do whatever I can to help him.

Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Ringing in ears can occur due to causes like ear infection, perforated eardrum, excess ear wax accumulation, Eustachian tube dysfunction, Meniere's disease, TMJ disorders, Acoustic Neuroma etc.

It is a treatable condition and you need not to panic about it.

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Audiometry, x Ray MRI can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

Treatment of the underlying cause can help in improvement of symptoms as ringing of ears is a symptom and not a disease itself.

In case if ringing does not resolve then he can be advised medicines like Tricyclic Anti-depressant like Amitryptiline, anti anxiety medication like Alprazolam, as well as Multivitamin supplements can be advised..
White noise devices can be advised..
He can also be advised Neuromodulation..
Avoid exposure to very loud sounds and also avoid diving, swimming etc..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
