Does anyone have awful ringing in your ears
I have a lot of neck pain and I think the ringing in my ears has something to do with the RA in my neck

Unfortunately, Tinnitus is common in RA patients. We are just prone to inflammation in every cappacity possible it seems like!

I suffered a skull fracture to my left temporal lobe 25 years ago. The tinnitus in my left ear is just a slight background noise I have dealt starting when I was 16. If I put an earplug in the ear that will tone it down but it is still there when I want to sleep. Loop ear plugs are the best. (Loop is the brand name)

Listening to music or brown noise helps drown it out, but I do not want to turn things up too loud.
Good luck, ask your doctor about it!

I have read that RA or Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) can cause ringing in the ears.
