Q: Humming In Ear
asked by: Tulip on February 4th, 2005
New User
I am having a continuous humming in my left ear for past 6 months. Initially I thought it will go of by itself. I also consulted 2 doctors. The first one said that I had cold and when I am fine, it will ok. I recovered from cold long back but nothing happened, the humming is still there.
The second doc said that it will be fine and gave me "vertin" tablets. I was a bit scared in having them because my mom had vertigo problem and she used to have vertin.
The humming is still there...How can I get rid of of.
I tried auryedic medicines too and medicated oil..Using ear plugs while bathing but nothing helps.

Any help will be appreciated.

Sounds like your next trip should be to an ent doctor to get a more specific diagnosis. It sounds like possible tinnitus.. But more often that is a ringing and not a humming...

Hum
I work with Audio and Video equipment alot. What I would like to bring attention to is something that may relate to the humming in my ear.

e.g. Have you ever attempted to plug in a microphone jack into the stereo system and/or any other audio equipment. When you insert the jack partially into the stereo you will notice a HUM NOISE comming out of the speakers. Reason is because either the JACK is not fully inserted OR damage to the jack/wire or Stereo system not allowing for full connection - resulting in this unsual humming noise. I DONT FIX THINGS I just hook them up. However I found this to be interesting because that humming is exactly the same as what i hear in my head.

COULD IT BE that something is touching the inner portions of my ear where sound is recieved. And saw causing this noise SUCH AS INFECTIONS OR EAR WAX being in the way of noice going in and fighting to get through causing vibration to produce this hum... or perhaps damage to the inner ear portion.

Looking forward to some feedback

Regards

I have the same thing. It could be tinnitus (which is often accompanied by hearing loss). Mine is due to a virus, which I got from not eating well, and drinking too much. I suggest you go to your doctor for a hearing test and to find out if it's an infection or a virus, as they can treat that with drugs.
