Although among the people it is said that "when the right ear rings, good words are spoken," the medical world says that there are completely different and serious reasons for this. Ear ringing is not just a discomfort; it may be a warning of a hidden disease in your body.
National.az reports that ear ringing is called tinnitus in medicine. This is when a person hears a buzzing, ringing, or humming sound in the ear without any external noise. Special attention should be paid to ringing that occurs in only one ear (for example, only in the right ear).
Possible causes of right ear ringing:
When blood pressure rises, the pressure increases in the sensitive vessels in the ear, and this is felt as ringing.
Wax accumulated in the right ear canal or an infection that occurs disrupts the transmission of sound waves, creating an internal sound.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise may have damaged the cells in the right ear.
A stressful work schedule and lack of sleep affect the nervous system, leading to the hearing of sharp sounds in the ears.
If there are the following symptoms along with the ringing, it is necessary to see a specialist (ENT doctor) without delay:
If dizziness occurs together with ringing.
If there has been a sudden decrease in hearing ability.
If the sound is in sync with the heartbeat (pulsatile tinnitus).
Treatment depends on the cause of the ringing. Sometimes just reducing salt intake or avoiding stress can stop the ringing. However, if there is vascular blockage or neurological causes, special treatment is required.
