Ringing in ear remedy

Blocked and ringing ears are largely due to some foreign matter than has lodged itself in the cavities of the ears. Such infections and blockages are not usually fatal or even dire health wise but can be painful. You can try different home remedies for ringing ears or for plugged ears. One most commonly tried is to rinse out your sinuses. Sometimes an imbalance can create this blockage too. Colds are often ignored and thought only to affect the nose. But often once the cold has healed, it can affect the ears and the hearing too. Using a series of hot water rinses can also help the blocked or plugged ears.

Warm oil can also be poured into the ear that has been ringing. It has been known to slowly remove the blockage and help restore hearing. This oil can be any generic oil like coconut oil or any massage oil. It needs to be warm, not hot oil to prevent permanent damage. Chewing gum or working your jaw can also unplug your ears so you can try that too. Putting some hydrogen peroxide can also help unblock your ear but you should use peroxide only under medical supervision.

Can dizziness cause ringing in ears?

While the most important function of the ears is to allow a person to hear, another very important function that the entire ear structure provides is balancing the body. This balance is controlled by a small organ within the ear structure known as the vestibular labyrinth and is primarily made up of tiny canals as well as fluid. When any part of this organ or its extension is damaged in any way, the body will experience a certain amount of dizziness and you are likely to hear a "ringing" in the ears. As a result, one of the primary causes of ringing in the ears and dizziness occurring at the same time is trauma such as a heavy blow landing anywhere near the ears.

In the event that you experience the symptoms of ringing ears, you may want to make sure that you approach a health care provider as soon as possible in order to identify if the ringing in the ears may be a result of some other underlying medical condition. Tinnitus is a rare, but serious medical condition that causes an individual to sense a persistent ringing in his or her ears and ignoring the problem could result in permanent damage to the ears.
