They Said I Have Tinnitus But My Ears Aren’t Ringing

Tinnitus is often described as a ringing in the ears, but it can actually take many forms. Some people hear a high-pitched ringing, while others experience pulsing, whooshing, clicking, or crackling sounds. What these experiences have in common is that the sound is perceived internally — typically when no external source exists.

If you notice persistent ringing or other noises in your ears that last more than a few days, you may be experiencing tinnitus, a common condition that affects millions of Americans.

Is Ringing in My Ears Serious?

While most cases of tinnitus are harmless, a sudden ringing in your ears can mark changes in your blood pressure or other health issues. Usually tinnitus clears up within a few hours. 

Vitamins Won’t Cure Tinnitus

Some research indicates a connection between vitamin deficiencies, such as a B12 or zinc deficiency. That said, there has been no research substantiating the claims that vitamins will cure tinnitus. In fact, there is no known cure for tinnitus. Most ways to manage tinnitus help you either mask the tinnitus or make it less noticeable.

How Can I Manage My Tinnitus to Get Rid of the Ringing in My Ears?

  • Hearing aids
  • Maskers
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Tinnitus retraining therapy
