He doesn't want to go to a physician, because he is afraid that the physician won’t be able to treat it, and he’ll still get stuck paying a big medical bill.
Answer:
Ringing in the ears is usually due to tinnitus; microscopic hairs found on auditory cells in the inner ear are bent or broken and move randomly in a state of irritation; unable to hold their charge, the auditory cells leak electrical impulses to the brain, which it interprets as sound.
Neurontin, an anti-migraine medication, has been shown to relieve the symptoms of tinnitus in some people as has Campral, used in the treatment of alcoholism; but your husband should seek medical advice before taking either of these, as they might be hazardous to him.
Another cause of ringing in the ears is acoustic neuroma which is a benign (non-Cancerous) tumour; these can develop over many years but are usually confined to one ear only.
The only way to know for sure, is to do what he's reluctant to , and see his doctor; as acoustic neuroma is definitely medically-treatable, and tinnitus can be relieved both medically (with prescription of either Neurontin or Campal)
and therapeutically (hypnosis etc.).
