For many people, tinnitus can be a debilitating and frustrating condition. Characterized by numerous sounds in the ears such as swishing, ringing, or throbbing, it can also be diagnosed by a patient stating they often hear a clicking sound in their ears. Heard even when no external sound is present, a tinnius clicking sound can be caused by a variety of factors including infections, ear trauma, aging, and certain diseases such as Meniere’s Syndrome or brain tumors.

Objective Tinnitus
For those who experience a tinnius clicking sound, a diagnosis could reveal it may be what is known as objective tinnitus. Considered extremely rare, it is caused by blood vessels or muscles near one’s ears that make noises a patient can actually hear. Caused by muscle spasms, the clicking sound can come in spurts. While the spasms themselves may be harmless, they are possibly caused by a number of underlying illnesses or conditions.

Getting a Medical Evaluation
If you are experiencing a tinnius clicking sound, it’s important to get a medical evaluation as soon as possible. Particularly important if the clicking sound is heard only on one side, happens suddenly, or is accompanied by a hearing loss, the medical evaluation can determine the cause and prescribe any number of remedies. Some of the most common remedies to provide relief from tinnitus include biofeedback, medication, stress reduction techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and numerous other remedies. However, home remedies are often not recommended, since they fail to address the underlying causes of tinnitus.

Is a Cure Available for Tinnitus?
While tinnitus is without a doubt one of the most frustrating conditions anyone can experience, there is unfortunately no known cure for the condition. However, because the symptoms can come and go over time, it’s possible a person can go months without having any symptoms of tinnitus. Yet despite this, the vast majority of people have tinnitus in their ears on a regular basis.

How to Prevent Tinnitus
While tinnitus may come and go mysteriously, most people have it on a regular basis. By avoiding noise exposure, reducing stress, and making various lifestyle changes to accommodate for the condition, it can be quite possible to maintain a relatively normal way of life both personally and professionally. But remember, while it may be difficult to prevent tinnitus, it is still advisable to seek medical treatment as soon as possible if a clicking sound is playing havoc with your life.
