Why do I have buzzing in my ears all the time?

Posted by babby70 @babby70, Dec 12, 2023

About 5 months ago both ears started buzzing. Sometimes it's very loud, other times not so much. I know it's tinnitus, but is there any help for me?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.

Sorry I have been told no cure and the key is that you adapt to it over time. People suggest all sorts of things (taurine?). Mine fluctuates and it is hardest at bedtime. I believe I have gotten more used to it over time but not completely. Good luck!

Have you been checked for tinnitus ? Sounds like it. I had it for some time and it really is annoying. I was treated with a medicine for ear circulation and it helped me a lot. The same treatment as with laberintitis. Might help you 🙂 good luck

babby70, I have had tinnitus for about 6 years. I am blessed in that my brain has tuned it out. BUT, if I have food with a lot of sodium or too much caffeine, it ramps up. You do notice it more when you lie down at night. I use ear plugs at night....I can't explain why they help the tinnitus but they do. I highly recommend hearing aids if your tinnitus causes great heaing loss. The hearing aids help to tune out the tinnitus. I just got hearing aids about 2 weeks ago. WOW! What a difference. I waited too long time to get them and wish I had done it sooner. Prayers & Blessings to you....

Same for me I have had this for approx 20 years. Your brain tunes it out and the hearing aids really help if it’s related to hearing loss. They also have retraining apps built into the hearing aids that can help your brain habituate.

I donʻt know what tinnitus sounds like. I have what I call white noise - I donʻt think itʻs a buzzing, more like hearing something electrical or mechanical. Not all the time but more at a particular area in the house but once when I was driving, it was intense and seemed loud. However it goes away and as I sit here this morning typing out my symptoms, I am aware of a faint white noise. Is this tinnitius?
