See if that helps.

One should always understand that we are all different so that it is impossible to suggest a single form of treatment that will work in every case and for every person. However, there is a very simple technique that has often shown to be effective in many cases of tinnitus (ringing in the ears.) Any person who is afflicted by this very unpleasant condition would do well to at least give this simple technique a try.
To perform this technique, put the palms of your hands over your ears. The fingers are on the back of the head. The middle fingers point towards each other and are on the base of the skull just above the point where the skull ends. Now lift the index fingers and place them on top of the middle fingers and then snap the index fingers off the middle fingers so that they beat the skull like a drum. In fact, with your hands covering your ears, the sound may be quite loud and may indeed sound like the beating of a drum. Click here to download a video clip demonstrating this procedure. (The video clip can be played using either Windows Media Player or Quick Time.)
Repeat the drumming about 40 to 50 times. Depending on the severity of the condition, one could repeat the technique several times a day.

Comment from Barbara Clay, Las Vegas, NV: Thank you soooooo much. I have had ringing in my ears, tinnitus for about a month now and nothing worked for me until now. I did the technique shown on this website and the ringing stop instantly. Dr. Jan Strydom, you are a life saver. The ringing was almost driving me crazy. Now I have my sanity back. Thanks again Dr.
Comment from Chirstine in Groton, USA: My ears have been ringing all day. It was so uncomfortable. I found your website and tried your technique. The ringing in one ear is gone and greatly reduced in the other ear! Thank you!
Comment from Linda in Bealeton, US: Woke up being driven crazy by ringing in right ear. Went online to find a natural remedy. Came upon your ear drumming technique. It worked instantly & I didn't even know if I was doing it properly. Thank you!
ping or rather ring!
Didn’t do anything except make me look foolish. Perhaps using greater force would work. Now where is that hammer...
Ha! Did seem to help.
I’ll try it before bed, that’ll be a good test.
Were you ‘snapping’ the fingers off the middle fingers in a forceful manner?.....I think that is the key.......but it may not work for everybody...........
I just tried it and it does work to so extent.
Ping for later...
What?
Amazing, it actually does work.
Personally, I think my ringing is from all the wireless, smartmeter etc. Seemed to start right after the elec. co. installed the wireless smartmeter on the side of the house.
I have been an herbalist for years so offbeat remedies aren’t that strange to me. But as I read about the technique I was pretty skeptical. In fact I thought it might be a joke. This is great! I love things that are free or cheap, easy to do and work.
I am pinging my lists for this important message...........
Interesting.
I like women that way, too.........
I have Eyetinitus, and everywhere I look, I see a bell. What do *I* do?
What did you think I was talking about? ;^)
Oh My Goodness!!!!! It worked! I wonder how long the effect lasts.
No problem! Always glad to help a fellow FReeper.
My work is done here :-)
Thanks RB.
Forwarded this info to my friend who suffers from this after being on a very long antibiotic treatment for Lymes.
Wow it works:)I am in a store and we are all doing it-kinda funny.
Is it a Wal-Mart? No one will even notice you.
