The ringing or buzzing in the ears is commonly known as tinnitus. According to acharya Balkrishna, this can happen due to several reasons:
Cold, Flu, or Sinus Infection
When your sinuses or Eustachian tubes (which connect your ears to your throat) get blocked, pressure builds up in the ear, causing ringing or crackling.
Allergies
Allergic reactions can lead to inflammation in the ear, triggering a buzzing or whistling sound.
Earwax Buildup
Excess wax can press against the eardrum, causing muffled sounds and ringing.
Other Causes
Exposure to loud noise, stress, or changes in blood pressure can also lead to tinnitus.
Tips to Stop the Ringing
Acharya Balkrishna suggests some simple steps:
- Steam inhalation: Helps clear sinus blockage and reduces ear pressure.
- Warm compress: Applying a warm cloth near the ear can relieve discomfort.
- Proper ear hygiene: Avoid inserting objects into your ear; clean gently to prevent wax buildup.
- Stay hydrated & rest: Fluids and rest help in faster recovery from colds or allergies.
- Consult a doctor: If ringing persists for more than a few days or is severe, see an ENT specialist to rule out underlying conditions.
Bottom line:
Most ringing sounds are temporary and caused by minor issues like cold, allergies, or wax. But persistent tinnitus should be checked medically, as it could indicate ear or nerve problems.
