I hope someone can answer this question also. I have the same problem. There are times the ring is so loud that I cannot fall asleep at night. I've been to a ENT in Celebration, FL. because not only do I have ringing but I also get dizzy and throw up. Dr. Akins was giving me medication but unless I took the meds in time I would just throw them up and I do this for hours. Very exhausting! Just recently Dr. Akins gave me 3 injections in my ear and yes it did hurt for a while and I would need to set still for 1/2 hour. The injections did help with the dizzy spells so far. It's been 1 month but the ringing is still there. I would love to know how to stop the ringing. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine was diagnosed with Arthritis in her ears.   She has the symptoms you speak of.  Maybe you should look into that?

Hi, this may not help much but my dad suffered with ringing in the ears for years. He was diagnosed with

the same thing and was given no medication. It was so bad at night that he slept with a toboggan on, he

even sewed a strap on with a snap to make it tight. I hope you find more answers here.
