Do your ears ring from time to time? Is there no particular pattern to the ringing? Does it come on unpredictably and go away as unpredictably as it came on? You could be suffering from an early stage of developing permanent or chronic Tinnitus. You can learn more about random ringing in ears here at this leading Tinnitus resource. But below, we will explain what could be causing the random ringing in your ears and also explain what you can do about it.
Random ringing caused by brain inflammation – Brain inflammation is one of the leading causes of Tinnitus or ear ringing. Stress, anxiety and an over-excited nervous system can all cause brain inflammation that can then lead to problems such as Tinnitus and other conditions. Thankfully, there are many natural supplements and even brain foods that can heal brain inflammation.
Hearing loss – You could be in the early stages of developing hearing loss. When the ear’s cochlea don’t make as many signals as they used to before, the brain can be tricked into thinking that the ears aren’t functioning at all. This then causes the brain to start inventing sounds. This is why you often hear Tinnitus as a whistling, crackling, ringing or whooshing sort of sound that nobody else can hear. If hearing loss is the reason why your ears randomly ring, wearing hearing aids can help your random ringing go away and also keep chronic Tinnitus at bay. But, it is important that you wear hearing aids as soon as you can as they are more and more ineffective as hearing loss advances.
Problems with your jaw or teeth – You might be shocked to know that even problems with your jaw, neck or teeth alignment can all cause random ringing in the ears. This usually happens because the jaw is connected to the ears through a ligament. When something strains this ligament, it can shift structures in your ears as well, putting a strain on your eardrum and other ear structures. This can then cause Tinnitus. So, if you have problems like a stiff neck, bruxism or teeth grinding or even wisdom teeth impaction, fixing such problems might actually resolve your random ringing in the ears as well.
Ear infections – Have you recently suffered from an ear infection? Infections don’t have to just affect the ears either. Even sinus infections like common colds or sinus allergies can affect your ears and then cause your ears to randomly ring. This usually happens because the ear and the nose are connected by a small tube called the Eustachian tube. When this tube is clogged with mucus resulting out of an infection, it can result in problems like random ringing in the ears.
