I have a terrible high-pitched ringing in my left ear, and a "rushing sound" in my right ear. These are driving me nuts. Is there any treatment other than the "snake oil" treatments pedaled on the internet?
Please note that I am out of the office and will return Monday July 14, 2025. If you are in need of immediate assistance please reach out to Valerie office manager or Sarah Audiology Assistant at 239 3320707. You can also send a message via our website. I look forward to responding to you upon my return. Thank you so much.
Get an audiology test to see if there's a hearing loss associated with your tinnitus. A hearing aid would help drown out the tinnitus and help you with hearing if necessary.
I would suggest starting with a hearing test. This will determine if you have hearing loss and the possible cause of the sounds in your ears, which is called tinnitus.
Hello,
I would recommend coming into the ENT Specialist in order to be evaluated.

Unfortunately, there is no medical or surgical intervention that has been shown to be effective for treatment of high-pitched ringing. Acoustic sedation measures of the best methodology as well as potentially biofeedback mechanisms. Over-the-counter medications are not useful.
