How many people you know have a ringing in the ear?
Maybe someone thinks someone's talking about him.
Whoa, somebody talking about me?
I get a little ringing.
Maybe someone's saying something right now.
Hey, you're psychic.
You were saying something.
Wait, I think I knew you were talking about me.
And then the ringing comes more often as the years go by.
It's like, whoa, a lot of people are talking about me.
Now the ring is permanent.
I guess no one was talking about me.
I guess I was developing tinnitus.
And that's what happens.
People develop tinnitus.
Now, how does that even happen? The number one reason people get tinnitus is from a viral
infection. So let's go into that a little bit. So Epstein-Barr, that's the bug right there.
And that Epstein-Barr virus gets into the labyrinth of the inner ear. And it can get
anywhere in the inner ear. It can inflame the vestibular nerve. It can get into the labyrinth
of the inner ear. It can get into the station tube. It can go in many different directions
inside the ear. And what it does is it causes inflammation. So you end up getting ringing,
But guess what? You might get fluttering, buzzing, popping. How many of you guys have had that?
What about whooshing? Where it's like whoosh. You get a whooshing in there too.
So humming, vibrating, buzzing, popping, whooshing, ringing, and that can happen.
Now tinnitus isn't always the same sound for everybody.
Some people get the ringing where if they hear a fan, it starts to change the pitch of the ringing.
Some people get a fluttering and a popping that comes and goes intermittent or it's there every day.
And some people's ringing is so loud that they can't hear anymore.
They start losing their hearing where people are like, hey, it's like, what?
I can't hear you with all the ringing I got in my ear.
And so a lot of people live with that.
And the reason why they're doing that, they're like, wait a minute, I hear nothing but ringing and it's keeping me up at night.
And a lot of people are kept up at night from it.
So here's what happens.
That pesky Epstein-Barr virus finds its way into the ear and gets into the labyrinth of the inner ear.
inflames the channel and now the nerves start to get inflamed and they start getting pressure on
them and they start to get irritated. When they get irritated, the ringing starts happening.
This is the cause unless you're somebody that worked in heavy machinery for years and you got,
you had the decibel damage, you had the eardrum damage, that's a different situation. Somebody
that went to a lot of rock concerts and you were front row and you were banging your head
in the front row while the bass player was playing super loud right there. So it all depends on where
you were, right? If you were actually injured, but that's different people who never were injured.
They didn't get that high decibel damage. Nothing like that happened in their life. And they got
the worst tinnitus and it's driving them crazy. It's the Epstein-Barr virus.
