The swishing or ringing sound or noise that you can hear coming from the ears or head is called Tinnitus. Most people could experience this condition at some time; however, these noises or sounds are not considered as a severe ear condition but rather a nuisance that could be cured immediately.
For some people though, surgery and other thorough medical treatments are necessary especially if the condition is brought about by a primary illness. Hence, it is very important that you seek professional help to know if it is a single disease or if it is coupled with a more serious case.
Once you experience tinnitus or swishing or ringing in ears, treatment varies. This is so because remedies or treatment should be based on the cause of the noise or sound. The most common causes of tinnitus are as follows:
• Hearing loss, which is actually normal especially if a person ages.
• Ear infection or excess wax in the ear.
• Ear trauma
• Exposure to loud noises like high-intensity music (loud sounds could really damage the hearing system)
• Overuse of aspirin, quinine and aminoglycoside antibiotics, a potent anti-infection drug
• Other underlying or main health issues such as Meniere's disease, anemia, overactive thyroid and acoustic neuroma
• Pregnancy could also be a cause of ear noises or sounds
For those diagnosed with hearing organ damage, treatment is not ruled out as necessary. Patients are just usually reassured that tinnitus is a single disease and not a by-product of any other serious issue. And while some causes, like pregnancy, could give just a temporary case of tinnitus—meaning, the condition will go eventually away-- the others entail some appointment with your otolaryngologist or ear, nose and throat specialist.
For those people who are experiencing severe swishing and ringing in ears, the following could be recommended by doctors:
• Antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication
• Use of maskers and other ear devices that can mask the sounds coming from the outside
• If patients are bothered by the swishing and ringing in their ears at night, a fan, radio and other sound-producing machines could relieve the problem.
• If the ear condition worsens because of stress, relaxation methods are advised.
• Less caffeine intake, as the said substance could worsen the symptoms
• Avoiding aspirin and other drug that cause tinnitus
• Protecting the ears from harsh and loud noises that could bring about hearing loss—a condition that could just make tinnitus even worse.
• A method called Biofeedback could also help relieve or diminish the irritating sounds in the ears. This treatment method uses monitors that can furnish patients with psychological information that they are not normally aware of. By adjusting their thinking based on the mental processes that they see on the monitor, they get to control the body activities that are involuntary by nature.
So if you are one of those people who are experiencing those disturbing sounds, it's time to pay your doctors a visit to get the medical attention that you need.
