Excessive Ringing in My Ears!

[Still in Limbo]

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to make an appt. tomorrow, because I try to keep answering my ear and there's no one on the other line. (Literally, LOL)!

Hi Still in Limbo:   Did you go see doc about the ear ringing today?   I was thinking about you.   I came down with Bronchitis yesterday and went to doc this a.m. with walrus cough and ringing in my ears!   LOL!!!   Did you send your ringing ears thru cyperspace?   Hope you're feeling better!

Hope your ears are doing better today!! Did you make your appointment?

Chris- I hope you feel better soon. Ive had that walrus like cough since february, diagnosed with bronchitis, bordering pneumonia. The antibiotics they gave me didnt work

MS Contin ER- 200mg. every 8 hrs.
Neurontin 600mg.- every 8 hrs., 1200mg. at bedtime.
Klonopin 1mg.- at bedtime to help with sleep
MS Contin IR- 30mg. as needed for breakthrough.
Promethyzine- 25mg. every 8hrs. for nausea.
Lactulose 30mg.- once daily for constipation.

Has anyone had this problem? The ringing in my ears seems to be getting louder, it started out sounding like crickets and now is a steady ringing. Any thoughts or assistance would be greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance for any replies!

When I was on neurontin, I had ringing in my ears! You sure are on a high dose, I only got up to 900mg...then they took me off of it because I was having memory problems! That stuff is evil for me at least for others it seems to work!

Thanks again for the replies folks. I awoke yesterday and It seemed better. (I Actually got about 6 hrs. sleep, first in a long while) and didn't call for an appt. It's 4:37 a.m. right now and it's louder than ever again. I'm going to have to call Today, and will let you all know what the "Good 'ol Doc." has to say. I still see an old country Dr., he's pretty good and easy to get an appt. with. Will keep you informed!!

STill got to love those country docs that are easy to get appointments with.

However, don't be surprised if you are referred to an ENT.

Driller has had ringing in the ears constantly since his surgery - an allergic reaction from the anesthesia caused it. At least his dizzy spells have pretty much subsided.

Mine started with the neurotin like some of the others - however, when I went off the meds, it didn't stop. They aren't sure why - if it was the repeat trauma to the shoulder/neck area or what exactly. Some days are better than others - And some days no matter how loud the tv is seems can't drown out the ringing - if you call it ringing it my case it's a high pitch whistle sound.

I do pray that they find out what is causing yours, and that you don't have to suffer with this for a long time.

A year ago I went to the "Ear" doc for ringing in my ears and upon examination he discovered I had permanent damage. No doubt this was from a bicycle tire that blew up in my face some 12 to 15 years ago. At first I thought it was from the meds or the nerves pinching in my neck (?) but a visit to the specialist resolved all my questions. For me was the only option was to get hearing aids for both ears which should help in lessening the ringing and all the other noises coming from my head. For now I'll live with it the way it is.
Go see a Doctor!

Edit: The trucks siren hasn't helped any!

have you went to a healthfood store and purchased ear candles and used them? this works for me ear wax and allergies are my triggers

[Still in Limbo]

Jayne, what the heck are ear wax candles? I don't have much hair left and I don't want to burn it all off my head!!! The ringing started as sounding like crickets and very low, now it's a steady ring and varies in loudness. Doc is in tomorrow, Thursday is his hospital day. I'll go see him in the evening and find out whats up. Thanks again for the replies!!!

A friend of mine used candles as I watched (don't think the candles were for the ears however. just ordinary household candles). I was amazed how much wax was sucked out of the ear.
Gross but amazing Definitely works
