What Causes Buzzing Sounds In Ear?
32 year old female. I get random ringing buzzing in my ears sometimes. It normally only lasts a few seconds and then stops. At first it was only a few times a week, it seems to be increasing. Some days not at all but other days it happens maybe 4 or 5 times a day. It also seems to be lasting longer now. Like maybe 5-10 seconds instead of just 2 or 3 seconds.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.
Understanding your concern.
As you explained in your query about the symptom of ringing or buzzing type of sound in ear is surely a condition called tinnitus . A very irritating condition which can have lots of causative factors .The most important factor is hearing loss.
The other causes are dental problems like temporomandibular problems or impaction of wisdom tooth, drinking excessive alcohol ,stress ,blood circulation problems and injury to any part of inner ear .
Many times it come and goes away by its own .But if it persists for more then a week or it has some other symptoms along with you should consult a doctor .
As such there is no particular medicine for tinnitus but we can correct the factors which known to cause it.I would suggest you that if you have habit of smoking or drinking alcohol you should spot it immediately ,you should start doing yoga and meditation which are very effective in this case ,avoid loud noise ,listen to relaxing music(use for meditation ) in low volume.
There is one herbal product GINKGO BILOBA which known to be very effective in case of tinnitus .As your tinnitus is getting worse day by day you should immediately consult a doctor and start remedies mention above .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
