Ear ringing

[Chicago22]

Anyone deal with ear ringing hissing it's all the time I think it's my anxiety being over sensitive. I had them check out all is fine. How do I deal with this?

Have the same thing worse when I try to go to sleep and when it's quiet I also get thumps in ears say it's all from anxiety and stress. It's not fun but I try not to let it get me down

Also I take a decongestant it seems to help

I have the same problem. Especially in my right ear. It's worse at bedtime. So hard to fall asleep. Bad enough I'm partially blind. I have perfect hearing but hidden by this. Called tinnitus. ENT can't find anything wrong.

I have a friend with tinnitus who says he puts radio on at bedtime for the whole night on a low volume and it helps him sleep.

Tinnitus is usually caused by something physical directly to do with the ear. However it can be caused by stress.

I have the same thing, and it's been going on for the last 3 years. It is very annoying, especially at night, when it seems to be worst. I have it in my right ear. People say Lipoflavonoid helps it. The ENT couldn't find anything wrong, so I guess that's why I still have it. At first it was hard and scary, but now I guess I have got adjusted to it. I do know by my own research, some medication can contribute to tinnitus, and one is Diovan, a pill for high bloodpressure, which I have been taking for a lot of years now.

I've had it for as long as i can remember. Some days i can completely ignore it and other times, like right now, it's very loud and annoying. I've just learned to live with it. From my understanding, it's not treatable and anxiety, stress, being sick, can make it worse.
