If you suddenly experience ringing or buzzing in one ear, along with hearing loss and/or dizziness, you should be seen immediately, as it may be a sign of something serious. For most people, however, tinnitus symptoms are minor and easily managed. After a few minutes or hours, tinnitus usually clears up without the need for medical treatment. Chronic tinnitus occurs frequently and lasts longer with each episode. The presence of tinnitus typically indicates you also have hearing loss.
How Can I Stop the Ringing Sound in My Ears?
A hearing aid will allow you to better focus on the speech or music you want to hear and help diminish the ringing or buzzing caused by tinnitus. Many hearing aids feature tinnitus-masking features which provide quiet sounds that help drown out the tinnitus.

Is There a Cure for Tinnitus?
Unfortunately, there is no known permanent cure for tinnitus, but there are ways to manage your tinnitus. People who have significant hearing loss in one or both ears and also suffer from tinnitus can consider getting cochlear implants to alleviate their tinnitus and regain their ability to hear. If your tinnitus is less serious, you may consider wearing earplugs when attending concerts, mowing the lawn or visiting a loud restaurant to prevent it from getting worse.
