Question
What’s Causing the Ringing in a Child’s Ears?
Answer
Based on your description, the child may frequently experience tinnitus at night, with the sound sometimes quite loud. This condition could be caused by neural tinnitus, or it might be due to earwax blocking the ear canal. It is advisable to take the child to a hospital’s otorhinolaryngology department for a detailed examination, including an otoscope examination and pure tone audiometry. If earwax blockage is found, it will need to be cleared; if neural tinnitus is diagnosed, medication such as ginkgo leaf tablets, galantamine tablets, and vitamin B1 tablets may be required. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your child a speedy recovery!
