Ringing of the Ear – Ending My Long Suffering

Not so long ago – about several months before writing this – I began to hear strange tones inside my ears. They were multiple tones that sounded like whistling notes inside me. The tones were relentless, being loud at night and in the morning. I couldn’t figure out what was it then. Ringing of the ear was just a ridiculous thing I never thought I’d have.

The sensation became unforgiving and I realized something must have been unwell. Distressed due to anxiety, I decided to go to a specialist with my husband. It was useless having to succumb to an unknown condition and not knowing whether I would be all right. The ringing was too much of a discomfort that I would do anything to get relief, and I knew that the first step to relief is to go to an experienced physician.

I was directed to an otolaryngologist who examined my ears and noticed how worried I was so she told me to calm down.

She found out that something was not right with my ear drum, but she assured that whatever it was, it was not grave. The examination revealed that my eardrum has been perforated. In fact, that most probably was causing my ringing of the ear. During that time, I was also experiencing some loss of hearing.

The physician assured me that perforated eardrums return to normal condition by themselves. There was no need for any special treatment. However, I needed to be under pain relievers for a few days because of earache. Antibiotics were also given to me to prevent further infection and to promote faster healing.

I completely recovered after a few weeks. My hearing became normal. I was no longer hearing ear ringing. Perhaps one great help was my diet and my health-wise lifestyle.

I stumbled over a few pages on the internet and found out that there are millions of people around the world with hearing impairment and other ear problems like tinnitus. In a lot of cases, the condition is due to lack of certain nutrients in the body. Although it was not totally acknowledged by scientific medicine, vitamins A, B complex, C and E have been found to help patients.

For me, your diet affects your well-being and when you’re in good shape, chances are you can beat any disease that occurs to you. A strong health also aids you during stressful hours. In fact it is usually the healthy persons who cope up with stress the quickest.

I also have come in terms of relaxation as part of the healing process. Most people don’t believe that calming the nerves does help in making your tinnitus less distressing. This method doesn’t cure tinnitus, but makes it more manageable by calming anxiety that usually comes with it.

Ringing of the ear is a problem of so many people. However, it shouldn’t be, as with the ringing in my ear.
