Because I needed one more symptom to worry about
« on: March 04, 2013, 11:19:17 AM »
About 6 years ago I started to notice a light ringing in my ears when in a completely quiet room. It doesn't bother me as long as there is any sort of background noise. So it just never seemed like a big deal. Anyway, today I was in the drug store getting eye drops, and right next to them I see products that treat ear ringing, which say they work by healing damaged capallaries and improving circulation in the inner ear. Now, many of you know I am very worried right now of a connective tissue disease that can damage blood vessels. And of course the ear ringing started around when all my other symptoms started. I really hope that it is COMMON to hear some light ringing when in a totally quiet room and that it does not have to mean there are vascular issues!!!

Getting the sinking feeling that the chronic low-level ringing  isn't common or trivial after all. Somehow I am managing not to Google it though, so I guess that's a step in the right direction.

Light ringing in the ears is common.  I know many people who have this including myself.  Just don't focus on it.  A few years ago when I was on high alert for every symptoms the ringing drove me nuts.  Now it is just a part of life.  It is really COMMON.  Good for you for not googling.  You know that it will list a bunch of awful diseases, because that is what googling symptoms does.

My ENT physician said that ringing in the ears is pretty common and typically not serious.
