Can Tinnitus Go Away on Its Own
Tinnitus is a perception of a noise that seems to originate in the ear or head in the absence of an external source. Tinnitus as a symptom of another condition may be temporary. About one-quarter of tinnitus sufferers report increased tinnitus severity over time, however. Chronic tinnitus usually does not go away completely. -
Earwax
Earwax, or cerumen, is a substance produced by the glands in the outer ear. Earwax has a purpose, and that is to trap dust and other small particles and prevent them from potentially damaging the eardrum. Causes of earwax buildup, blockage, or impaction include using Q tips or other objects to remove earwax. Symptoms of earwax buildup or blockage include decreased hearing, a fullness or plugged feeling in the ear, ear pain, dizziness, or ringing in the ear. Home remedies, over-the-counter (OTC) medication (drops), and excess earwax buildup and blockage removal by your health care professional are treatments for earwax buildup. -
Foreign Body, Ear
Getting an object lodged in the ear is a common problem -- especially among toddlers. Pain or bleeding are the most common symptoms. Though a foreign body in the ear is seldom a serious condition, the object should be removed as soon as possible, preferably by a doctor. -
Hearing Loss
Hearing loss can have a variety of causes both physical and neurological. Infection can also affect hearing. Medical treatment depends on the cause, but people can help prevent hearing loss by wearing ear protection in noisy environments, promply treating ear infections, and never inserting foreign objects into the ear canal(such as cotton swabs). -
Is Ringing in the Ears a Symptom of COVID
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus. Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) is an uncommon symptom of COVID and may also be a possible long-term effect of the illness. -
Wilderness: Ear Infection
An infection of the ear can be the ear canal (otitis externa), the eardrum, or the middle mear (otitis media). Symptoms and signs of an ear infection include ear pain, hearing loss, ringing in the ear, nausea, vertigo, vomiting, discharge from the ear, or common cold. Treatment for an ear infection includes over-the-counter pain relievers and at times antibiotics. -
Possible Early Dementia
Dementia is marked decline in brain function that affects memory, thought processes and speech. Alzheimer's disease is a major cause, but many other different factors can cause permanent or reversible dementia. Dementia should be distinguished from the benign age-related forgetfulness many experience, which only superficially affects daily life. Mild cognitive impairment is a memory-loss state more significant than age-related senescence describe above, but less severe than Alzheimer's. -

What Are Hearing Aids Used For?

What Are the Common Signs of Stress

Will Impacted Ear Wax Fix Itself
Impacted ear wax is when ear wax accumulates enough to cause symptoms. Impacted ear wax is more common in young children and older adults. For impacted ear wax that causes no symptoms, treatment is not always needed. Ear wax may go away on its own over time. Ear drops or irrigation by an ENT doctor are the treatments for severe cases.
