Ringing in my ears

From: JimD on 9 May 2006 22:40 Is this a symptom of anxiety? Or is there some other cause? I remember having this as a child when I was around 10 or so. I don't recall how long it lasted, but I would say at least a year. It used to soothe me when I layed in bed at night. I remember the sound being rythmical, and it reminded me of wiper on a car. I don't recall having the ringing in my ears during the last few years when my symptoms were managed pretty well. However, for the last 2-3 months I get ringing from time to time. I notice it mostly at night when I am trying to unwind. Is this just from anxiety and tension? Or is it from some type of ear damage? I did have some hearing issues as a child and I had tubes put in a handful of times.

I often have the side off the pc and can hear the high pitched noise of the hard drives and fans. I've found that putting the side on and making the PC quieter has helped, but not enough. I'm looking for a good spot to move it to. Just a few feet away can make a big difference. To sum up, I think the pc makes my tinnitus worse, but I still get it without a pc around. Oh, long ago my mother had a big problem with tinnitus and her place of work had to put the printer inside a slightly soundproofed cabinet. That helped her at the time.

It may be from noise pollution, feedback from microwave frequencies, infection, your tubes, muscle tension, over focusing on normal ringing and whistles in your hearing spectrum, or any number of other far fetched possibilities. There is no known specific medical treatment-besides distraction from it. Using a white noise generator for sleeping, staying away form known aggravators like aspirin and salycilates, loud noise, using hearing protection, turning down your i pod or head set, and getting restful sleep and excercise, a balanced diet and possibly using some minerals as supplements-the rest is guess work that even the best medical sleuths are stumped by. -- ========== Please DELETE this text block when replying! ========== Contact the moderators at: asapm-board(a)stump.algebra.com The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm ========= This notice is added to each approved article ==========

I kept it in the little computer area on the side of my desk and made sure to keep the door closed. I just built a new computer and put in an AMD64 which stays pretty cool and doesn't need big loud fans. The new hard drive is also pretty silent. The only thing that still makes noise is the DVD/RW. I need to get a new one. That thing sounds like a train is coming. > Tony Jim -- ========== Please DELETE this text block when replying! ========== Contact the moderators at: asapm-board(a)stump.algebra.com The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm ========= This notice is added to each approved article ==========

My ringing is caused by some damage in my ears from ear infections I have dealt with most of my life. (I have had tubes put in my ears about 7 times now). But it can be caused by many things. Mine tends to be worse during allergy season so you could be dealing with some of that too. Have you been to seen an ENT doc in a while? They would really be the one who can tell you what is causing this. d "JimD" <Jim(a)keeliegirl.dyndns.org> wrote in message news:fhc8g.9428$ba.4973(a)tornado.tampabay.rr.com... > Is this a symptom of anxiety?
