Travelers advised of black ice on roadways

Why do my ears ring?
Many conditions can contribute
to ringing ears or phantom noises in
your ears such as buzzing, roaring,
whistling, hissing and clicking
sounds. These symptoms are gener-
ally lumped under the diagnosis of
tinnitus.
What is tinnitus?
Tinnitus, which affects about one
in five people, refers to noise or
ringing in one or both ears when
there is no external sound or reason
contributing to it.
Is it preventable?
Wear earplugs whenever.you en-
gage in any noisy activities and en-
courage your children to do so too.
Most patients with tinnitus have a
history of noise exposure from their
occupation, hobbies or other pas-
times.
What causes tinnitus?
Outer hair cell damage within
the inner ear is the most common
cause. Age-related hearing losses,
chronic health conditions, condi-
tions that affect the auditory nerves
or brain's hearing center, exposure
to loud noise, changes in ear bones,
some diseases and blood disorders,
and even stress and depression can
cause tinnitus. Additionally, some
medications may cause or worsen it.
Does tinnitus have other side
effects besides the sound in ears?
If you have tinnitus, it's likely
you are experiencing some or all of
these related problems: chronic fa-

tigue, stress, problems sleeping,
trouble concentrating or remember-
ing things, anxiety and irritability
and depression.
What can I do to reduce symp-
toms?
Tinnitus is most irritating in
quiet situations. Use soft back-
ground music or a fan to mask ear
noise. Avoid irritants such as loud
noises and nicotine. Because stress
makes the condition worse, practice
biofeedback or relaxation therapy.
Exercise regularly to minimize
stress. Avoid alcohol because alco-
hol usage increases blood flow, es-
pecially in the inner ear area.
When should I see an audiolo-
gist?
If you think you have tinnitus,
treatment will help you feel better.
Make an appointment for an evalu-
ation. If your ear problems began
with a cold or respiratory infection,
make an appointment if the tinnitus
doesn't clear up within a week of
the other symptoms subsiding. If
you should develop tinnitus very
suddenly without any apparent
cause or if you have dizziness or
hearing loss, make an appointment
immediately.
What will the audiologist want
to know?
Be prepared to talk about any
health conditions you have and
bring a list of medications you take,
including vitamin supplements and
alternative or herbal supplements.
The audiologist's first step will be
to give you a hearing exam. De-
pending on the results of the exam
and the audiologist's assessment,
there are a variety of treatments that
can decrease symptoms. They range
from treatments as simple as re-
moving impacted earwax to techno-
logical devices that suppress the
noise.
Krystal Mann, Aud audiologist,
sees patients at Sanford Health
Hearing Center in Dickinson. She
completed her undergraduate edu-
cation at Minnesota State Univer-
sity Moorhead, and graduate
education at A.T. Still University in
Mesa, Ariz.

"With its use of the latest tech-

provides for the dignity, privacy and
peace and quiet of its residents, St.
