Yes the annoying ringing in the ears that tends to get louder whenever it gets quieter, is normally referred to as Tinnitus. During the day, for some, the ringing tends not to be too bad however, at night when silence falls as it normally does in the twilight hours it can become very annoying as well as nerve racking.
Tinnitus is a condition where the cochlea (hair like structures) of the inner ear become damaged, and when damaged, send false signals to the brain in the form of what most describe as ringing in the ears. Tinnitus has also been described by some as buzzing, whining, clicking, and other types of noises. All these noises are heard only by the person who is suffering from the ringing in the ears and normally cannot be heard by anyone else, this type of Tinnitus is referred to as subjective Tinnitus.
If your doctor can hear the noise as well as the person suffering from the Tinnitus then, it is most likely being caused by turbulent blood flow in the area of the inner ear and depending on the cause of the turbulent blood flow, surgery may take care of it and correct the problem. This type of Tinnitus is referred to as objective Tinnitus.
There are quite a few things that cause that annoying ringing in the ears, one common cause, that could be easily corrected, is an excessive ear wax build up. If keep your ears clean out you may be able to keep your ears from ringing however, for some who suffer from, rapid build up of ear wax may need to have it removed by a professional health care provider. Trying to clean out excessively impacted ear wax by yourself can cause damage to the inner ear, and once damaged, may not be repairable so, if you're not sure seek professional help.
Another cause of subjective Tinnitus, as well as the most common cause, is prolonged exposure to loud noises. Unfortunately most young people will not heed warnings of the dangers and expose themselves to loud noises only to regret later in live. An once of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and this saying could not be more accurate when it comes to the annoying ringing in the ears that tend to develop as we age so, use ear plugs protect your hearing and live to a ripe old age with having to deal with Tinnitus.
