I'm a beginner music producer, and I keep messing a lot with my daw, music, listening to a bunch of songs, and playing guitar. The problem that I am having now is ringing ears. It might be tinnitus.

I don't want to lose my hearing. That would be devastating, and I'm also scared for my ears. I don't know how to take care of them and return them to normal.

I want my ears to be healthy. If you guys have any suggestions, please post them in the comments.

Why not visit a doctor of ears, instead of waiting for opinions from Nairalander which at the end of the day may be Google-search based or AI generated

The ear 👂 is one of the most crucial parts of the body, which, if not properly taken care of, will result in one's deformity.

Ensure you do these things:
- Keep your ears always dry
- Regular hearing test is essential
- Use of earplugs helps, but in a turn-down volume
- Take a break from listening to sounds
- Avoid using cotton buds in ears
- Manage your stress level, as this has direct effect on your ear.

If this is helpful, give a sign. ✌️

I also need to follow this post closely. E get why

Tinnitus is manageable but can't be cure with drug/medication whatever. COCHLEAR implant may help in case of severe, profound, sensorineural hearing loss..Stop plugging ear piece to your 👂 with high decibels volume.

It’s great that you’re aware of the importance of ear health, especially as a music producer! Ringing in the ears, which could be tinnitus, is often linked to exposure to loud sounds, so it's definitely something to take seriously. Here are some steps to help protect and possibly improve your ear health:
1. Lower Volume Levels: When producing music or listening to it, make sure the volume levels are safe. Aim to keep your listening volume around 70-80 decibels. Many DAWs have metering systems, and using them to monitor levels can help you avoid exposing yourself to dangerous volumes.
2. Use Noise-Canceling Headphones: These can reduce the need to crank up the volume when you’re in a noisy environment. By blocking out external noise, you can listen at lower levels without sacrificing clarity.
3. Limit Exposure: Take regular breaks during long production or listening sessions. A good rule is to follow the 60/60 rule: listen at 60% of maximum volume for no longer than 60 minutes, then take a break.
4. Ear Protection: Consider investing in custom-molded earplugs or high-fidelity earplugs designed for musicians. These reduce sound levels evenly, so you can still hear your music clearly but at a safer level.
5. Visit an Audiologist: If the ringing persists or worsens, it’s important to see an audiologist. They can assess your hearing health, determine if you have tinnitus, and offer advice on protecting your ears moving forward.
6. Rest Your Ears: Give your ears some time to recover, especially after long or loud sessions. Complete silence or quieter environments can help reduce ear fatigue.
7. Be Aware of Hidden Damage: Even if your ears don’t hurt, exposure to loud noises can cause damage over time. Always err on the side of caution with volume and listening duration.

Any doctor here please give me any solution

Tinnitus
That thing can embarrasses someone oo. I have same too. Visited doctors and took medications. It has reduced a bit but it's still there. Sometimes it can be there for a very long time long time if not managed properly.
🙁🙁🙁.
So sad

Wash outer ear

Wash your outer ears thoroughly when taking a bath. Never use sharp objects to poke your inner ears. Don't use cotton buds either. They do more harm than good. Take breaks in between your studio/listening sessions and ensure your headphone muffs are keep clean always.

Please if there any doctor that can advise me on what to do...

The problem that I am having now is ringing ears. It might be tinnitus.

It is tinnitus. You don enter the zone of no return. Visit an ear doctor to learn means of maintaining what you have remaining. I know without a doubt you are young, under twenty-six years of age. People older learn that some things can’t be returned when lost.

Your hustle involves listening to loud sounds. Fine another or deal with the consequences in the near future. I’m an average headphone user. I always use the volume at the lowest setting where I can enjoy the music yet hear my surroundings. Imbibe the habit before sorry becomes your case.

Nothing beats this.

See doctor

I got itchy ears .. scratches me occasionally sometimes then again almost everytime. I use earpiece alot .. Yday nightz I had a slight pain inside of my ear while using earphones .. Slept if off and it's gone .. I only plugged out one of the earpiece and slept it with one still in my ear ..


I think ear plugs helps brings out wax from your ear .. Cause from time to time, I be cleaning Wax attached to the rubber of my ear plugs ..

The issue is that ringing in the ears is not reversible. You can see an ENT doctor for more consultation. You will be okay at the end.
