Adjust Volumes Phones and Televisions
- When I was 47 I was given sulfa drugs to treat a UTI. After 10min. I went into A-fib. I was taken to ER and got shocked. (good thing I was at the hospital). I had all the heart tests done and I was in great shape except for the A-fib. It is controlled very well with Rx. The long story, I realized that the ringing in my ears wasn't going away. It doesn't go up or down it is just there. I have always had very good hearing and that hasn't gone away. On the phones in the lab where I work I have to adjust the volume down from the #7 level to the #2 level every time I pick up a phone. At first I thought someone it the lab was hard of hearing but when I started watching to see who it was I found out that it was me who was out of step. The most irritating thing though is the volume increase when a commercial comes on on the TV. It seems that it is just blasting at a high level and it makes me think I have had it too high to begin with.

Wear Earplugs
- The buzzing is worst in the morning so I often wear earplugs in whichever ear is bothering me. If I keep them in for a couple of hours, the rest of the day seems fine.

Wax build-up in the ear canal
- The amount of wax ears produce varies by individual. Sometimes, people produce enough wax that their hearing can be compromised or their tinnitus can seem louder. If you produce a lot of earwax, speak to your physician about having excess wax removed manually-not with a cotton swab, but by an otolaryngologist.

Crystal Healing Bowls
- Once you've ruled out any medical cause, you might consider these possibilities: Mother Earth is being hit with lots of energy from solar flares and other universal energies. Some of us are sensitive to these energies. Weather patterns are changing all over the globe from weather machines such as HARP. And some of us are sensitive to that. I have been hearing different frequencies for about 5 years now. I have found that crystal healing bowls help to balance some of these.

White Noise
- I developed tinnitus in 1999 after realizing that I had suffered from hypercusis also. The white noise training with a radio on a blank air station helped quite a bit.
