I got the ringing in my ears along with a headache that lasted for 3 months. The headaches stopped but the ringing continued. Ringing can be cause by too much asprin.It can also be a sign of high blood pressure. For others it can be related to sinus problems; I tried Nyquil for a while and it seemed to help. The ringing can also seem much worse at night because you're in a quiet environment and that makes the ringing seem worse, especially if you put your ear to the pillow and kind of trap the sound. For awhile, taking Nyquil stopped the ringing. Once my IBS-D started, the ringing went away for awile, so I think the D became my bodies new way to express anxiety. Anti-anxiety drugs stopped both the D, and now I get only minor ringing when I'm very stressed. It can be so maddenig, but many suggest always having some background noise so it is not so apparent, even "white noise" or a tape of ocean waves or rain can be helpful at night. And, though I know it can be nearly impossible to do, you have to try and ignore it...I know that is a stupid idea but it can help. Take care.
