Why is the Buzzing in my Ears Louder at Night?

f you are one of the millions of people suffering from a medical disorder known as tinnitus, then you most likely know that it tends to get worse when you are trying to fall asleep. But why should this be? The ringing or buzzing in one or both ears is not an actual noise but a complication of a medical issue like hearing loss, either permanent or temporary. Naturally, knowing what it is will not clarify why you have this buzzing, ringing, or whooshing noise more often during the night.

The real reason is pretty straightforward. But first, we have to learn a little more about this all-too-common disorder.

How Can Hearing Loss Affect Driving Habits?

While driving, you utilize your hearing a great deal. Some prevalent examples include:
- Emergency vehicles can often be heard before they can be seen.
- Your hearing will often alert you when your car is damaged in some way. For example, if you run over an obstruction in the road or a rock hits your windshield.
- Your sense of hearing can help you have better awareness of other vehicles around you. For instance, you will normally be able to hear a large truck coming toward you.
- Audible alerts will sound when your vehicle is trying to alert you to something, such as an unbuckled seat belt or an open door.
- Other motorists will commonly honk their horns to alert you to their presence. For instance, if you begin to drift into another lane or you remain stopped at a green light, a horn can make you aware of your error before dangerous things take place.
