What are the causes of ear humming?


The ear hum is that people constantly hear noises that are not externally sourced. The earwig can be in a varying tone in one or two ears.

Causes of ear hum

High-intensity sound

Exposure to a high-intensity noise can cause ear humming. This violence can cause people to hear voices that do not exist in the environment. Noise can be caused by a concert, firearms, noisy mechanical instruments or explosions. These sounds are caused by an instant explosion or a continuous mechanical device that damages the hair cells and ear nerves.

 

Diseases

Health conditions such as ear infections and some allergies can cause ear hum. In the ear, the accumulation of wax, infection, tear in the ear membrane as well as heart condition, allergies, tumors and head or injuries seen in the beginning can also cause ear murmur. It can also be a precursor to serious situations such as ear-howling tumors or aneurysms. Therefore, it is very important to accurately identify the cause of the ear hum.

The ear hum may also have a side effect of some medications and alcohol use. In addition, medications such as alcohol, aspirin, sedatives, antibiotics, antidepressants, stimulants, and antiinflammatory drugs may occur as a side effect.
