About 50 million Americans suffer from tinnitus, or ringing in the ears. Now the nation's leading group of ear, nose and throat doctors is releasing new guidelines for how to treat it. Kris Van Cleave reports.

If you don’t have tinnitus, you have no idea how annoying it is, constantly ringing, buzzing 24 hours a day.

That's not getting rid of the problem. That's ignoring the problem. That's like saying to someone who has foot pain, "Go out and walk around. Live your life." Fine! But that doesn't fix the foot pain.

Anyone else find this information worthless. They didn't cover have this ringing in my ears and thought this might provide some answers. Instead it was empty news story.

My ENT’s are useless. Told me the same thing that google told me. Except google didn’t charge me hundreds.

This is not "treatment" - it's learning how to distract yourself from it. STOP calling it treatment. It's being told that you have to learn to live with it by ignoring it by listening to something else instead of focusing on the constant din in your head. It's awful- and very depressing.

That poor man. Had sudden hearing loss in my right ear on Feb 1st, 2020, at 50 years old. Despite hearing slowly coming back after steroid treatment, the ringing hasnt stopped. Some days it is so loud, it is hard to focus on anything else. I know exactly what he is going through.

'I've lived with Tinnitus for 10 years. 'I lost my high pitch hearing.
In both ears.
It's buzzing in my head. Not in my ears..

[lurker]

Only thing that works for me is taking shower head and run warm/hot water at back of my head, thats spot where problem suppose to lie, part of brain responsible for phantom noise. Do it in the morning for up to 1 min and I'm fine for rest of a day. If it comes back repeat it. I have it just few months and discovered it just now.

So the treatment is to make sure there is no treatment being done?

Your thinking processes become cloudy & hard the concentrate your thoughts are not the same anymore.

I have it in my right ear. It happened after a previous abuser struck me on that side of my head and it’s gone away since. It’s worse at night, when I’m trying to study or meditate.

[anilkumarnpatel]

I used to have it but mine went away after a few drops of earwax removal. I put a cotton on top and then kept my head in that position sideways so it can go to the ear properly. I then went to sleep and then it went away for good. I has it yesdesday and then I don’t have it anymore.

[ungata]

I have it and had it since I was 5. I just use sound therapy. Mine is caused from earwax buildup

This report: Tinnitus is a ringing noise. It's bad. Don't take supplements and don't pay attention to it. It's bad. The End.

This is not a helpful video. You can look at other videos about exercises that might help, neuromodulation noises to help, getting a masking hearing aid device, using white noise or other sound device, etc. This is not a helpful video.

It's starts inside the body. The brain synapses signals gradually make mind think differently. Complicating different everyday chores.

I have tinnitus 10 years... I am 18 years old today... It is related with hearing loss... what should I do

[stewezy]

If you have massive ringing in your ears get a massager and I promise the ringing will go away
