Tinnitus is just a medical term for an unusual noise, whether it's a whistle crackle or a gurgle in your ears.
Most sinus and allergy sufferers experience as a result of the thickening of the mucus in the inner ear and inflammation to the small parts of the inner ear that transmits sound to your brain. What's really happening is that your sinuses are so inflamed, infected and clogged up that the infection has moved up the canal to your ear.
Normally what happens is that the wax and mucus drain out of the middle ear through the Eustachian tubes into the throat.
It sounds yucky, I know. But that's what happens. /?030710" What Does Ringing In Your Ears Mean
When everything's working normally you swallow all that stuff and don't even know that. But when you get sick, have allergies or get a sinus infection all of that stuff gets so thick and goopy that it can't drain like it should. And since it can't drain, pressure builds up in your inner ear the same way it builds up in your sinuses.
And since the small and fragile parts of your ear are not used to operating under that kind of pressure, you hear all the strange bells and whistles that we have come to call tinnitus.
And if you don't do something about it, there is a real possibility that permanent hearing damage could result.
So you see the problem is not the ringing in your ears...
The real problem is the UNDERLYING CAUSE. What do I mean by that? What I really mean to say is that you most likely have another problem that is causing your tinnitus.
Look...Nobody knows your body better than you. So the question I want to ask you is...
Do you think your chronic sinus infections, chronic allergies or chronic sinusitis is causing your tinnitus?What Does Ringing In Your Ears Mean
I bet you do.
So the real question is... What do you do about it?
What to do about it is a tough question to be sure. But if you've made it far enough to be reading this article, you know that another trip to the doctor and another course of antibiotics is not what you need.
Your "system" is out of balance. What you have to do is find a way to treat the underlying cause. So you can put your "system" back in balance.
You're going to have to be your own advocate and become responsible for your own health. /?030710" What Does Ringing In Your Ears Mean
