Question : I have ringing ears or tinnitus, I originally obtained this several years ago when I slept sideways with a cold and it went into my ears.Originally it was just mild ringing and hearing mist for the passing years until this year. Now recently, my ears have actually gotten quite louder, especially on the left side. I should note that I also used to masturbate 3-5 times a week. It started after I lost my vitamins after running on a thread mill for 7 days for one week.
One week when I did it three times, my ears suddenly tightened up and feel tight all the time. Another week a month later, when I masturbated 4 times, my ears hurt and the ringing got louder. Of course, now, I do not do it as frequently, more like once every 2 weeks and hoping to reach 1 month. Now is where I am worried, I did it twice last Saturday and the left ear got louder in terms of ringing as well.
Is what I have treatable? Can the ringing ears be reduced somehow? Is it too late? Mother says it is cuz of winter but that is not true, as it is on 24/7. If I masturbate anymore, will it hurt my ears??

Brief Answer:
TINNITUS
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query
You are having tinnitus because of eustachian tube blockage. As you are having it very frequently you should get a x-ray paranasal sinuses done and send me the pictures.
Take an oral decongestant tablet and nasal decongestant drops for few days. Also take steam inhalation and chew a gum. This will help the tube to open.
Secondly get a pure tone audiometry done. This will tell about the hearing loss if any.
Further managmanagement will depend on the reports.
Avoid any ear phones usage and excessive XXXXXXX phone use.
There is no relation of tinnitus to masturbation. so just relax.
Follow up with the reports.
Any further questions are always welcome.
Thanks and regards
