I am a trader in a very noisy and dusty market. I discovered some ringing noise in my two ears a few months ago. I will appreciate it if you can let me know the cause and the treatment

A ringing sensation in the ear is called tinnitus. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds is the most common cause of tinnitus. Up to 90 per cent of people with tinnitus have some level of noise-induced hearing loss. The noise causes permanent damage to the sound-sensitive cells of the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear. Carpenters, pilots, rock musicians, street-repair workers, and landscapers are among those whose jobs put them at risk, as are people who work with chain saws, guns, or other loud devices or who repeatedly listen to loud music. A single exposure to a sudden extremely loud noise can also cause tinnitus. Other causes could be; blockages of the ear due to a buildup of wax, an ear infection, or rarely, a benign tumor of the auditory nerves. Also likely are certain drugs — most notably aspirin, several types of antibiotics anti-inflammatories, sedatives, and antidepressants, as well as quinine medications. A check up with an Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist is very important for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
