Suggest Remedy For Tinnitus
I have been experiencing a shifting sand sound in my right ear. I feel a little faint when this keeps occurring. I thought I would check the internet and see other people have had the same problem. I do have a definite tinnitus in my ears as well with the high pitched ringing. This is different, though.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of Tinnitus which isn't a condition itself but it's a symptom of an underlying condition, such as temporomandibular joint problem, increase blood pressure, stress, cervical spondolysis, ear wax accumulationage-related hearing loss, ear injury or a circulatory system disorder. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination and to find out exact cause . Doctor may order certain tests like audiological test , rushing test , high and low pitched test . CT scan ,MRI can also be done to rule out conditions like hearing loss , exposure to loud noises , earwax build-up , middle ear infection. Doctor may prescribe tricyclic antidepressants , alprazolam and devices like hearing aids and masking devices .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
