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.
Eardrops. Allergies, colds and ear infections can cause ear pressure that is painful and can result in tinnitus. Several oils can be placed into the ear to help reduce ear pain. This may have minimal effect on tinnitus unless it is caused by the ear pain itself. Warmed olive oil or an essential oil such as lavender oil can be dropped into the affected ear a few times a day to help diminish pain. The oil should be warmed by placing the vial into a glass of hot water for 15 to 20 minutes.
