? Please ty I have a ringing in my ears that is driving me crazy. I use to be hyperthyroidism and they gave me radioactive isotope and now i take synthroid . the ringing stopped when they brought it under control. i have been gong to a gp for thelast 10 years and it seems my ringing has gotten progressively worse. should i look for an internist again ,because I did not have this ringing then.
Hi
More details are needed like how exactly is that noise- whistling, humming etc. and is it continuous or intermittent, one ear or both, whether you have any hearing impairment, any giddiness(dizziness), any nose or throat problems, any high BP, taking any long term medicines, whether you are anaemic, your age etc.
Moreover you need to be examined, in an attempt to find the cause of your ringing in ears. So you better consult a good ENT specialist for this.
Please note that in some patients no cause may be detected. But many benefit with empirical medicines or tinnitus masker etc
Take care.
