The best characterization is that ringing in the ears is an indication of a possible issue in the inner ear or auditory system. Is ringing in the ears a disease? No. Ringing in the ears is believed to have many possible causes or contributing factors but it is not a disease. In some cases occupational exposure to loud noises is directly related to ringing in the ears. In other cases certain medications (including aspirin and ibuprofen) are thought to initiate or exacerbate tinnitus. In still other cases none of these factors is present, but ringing in the ears still occurs. Ringing in the ears is sometimes associated with impacted cerumen (ear wax) or other symptoms of inner ear disturbance such as dizziness or vertigo.
So I encourage you to give your doctor a call. The most common cause of an ear feeling plugged up is when the outer ear gets blocked by earwax. Iâll tell you about a simple home remedy in a minute, but first letâs make sure itâs not a more serious kind of ear problem. To do that, Iâll ask you my âred flagâ questions.
