Tinnitus has no external sound and can be very annoying: it causes buzzing, ringing, whooshing, popping, crackling and booming. When the Eustachian tubes become clogged, these sounds can become amplified. Sinuses cause ringing ears when the ears are full of mucous or polyps.
It is more probable that when the ears fill with fluid and become plugged, you will experience sinus ringing ears. This can cause the sounds to be more of an echo. You are the only one that can hear these annoying noises internally; they cannot be heard by others on the outside. Having a plugged ear can be annoying all on its own and to not be able to hear correctly on top of that can be devastating.
You can find relief for your symptoms but as you will learn about the condition you will see that there is no cure for tinnitus. Consulting your doctor for alternative remedies may be of some use. You may want to have surgery if it is a sinus problem that needs to be taken care of outside of the use of medication. Once the surgery has been performed, there is a big difference that will be very noticeable in your breathing and sinus ear ringing.
Surgery is not for everyone, so there is an alternate method you can use and that is to take medication to ease the ringing. Beware though, some meds can make the situation worse and you will have to have the medication reduced or discontinued. Nasal sprays and decongestants may work for a while too but some do have addiction warnings and after prolonged use can make symptoms worsen. Everyone may not have the same results; what works for some may not work for all. Sometimes a person is forced to just deal with it and accept the fact that it won't go away.
This can be a frightening ordeal for some people. Sinus ringing ears can make your days long and difficult and make it very hard to stay focused. When you are trying to get a good night's sleep this can be the hardest thing to do because of the extra loud noises going on in your head. If your body becomes so tired you will most likely become anxious and depressed and this can cause your symptoms to become worse.
There are so many forms of tinnitus and not enough ways to make is more subtle. If you are able to find something that works for you that will diminish some of the noises, then you may be able to get some piece of mind. It won't be easy but if you try some CDs of soothing background noises that you can buy at the store, it may help you sleep a little better.
This may only be a temporary thing if it has to do with your sinuses. The problems that are associated with sinusitis are exaggerated because all the sounds are muffled in your head. If you don't find something that will provide you with some relief then seek the advice from your doctor for other ideas.
