Are you experiencing ringing in your ears alongside your migraines? This is called tinnitus, and it's actually quite common for people with migraines — in fact, those with migraines are about twice as likely to experience it compared to those without.

Tinnitus can sound different for everyone. It might show up as:

- Ringing
- Clicking
- Humming
- Hissing or buzzing
- Loud roaring

It can affect one or both ears and may come and go. Tinnitus can appear during different phases of a migraine attack. It may show up as part of the prodrome phase (hours or even days before an attack) or as an aura symptom closer to the attack itself.

One MyMigraineTeam member shared that they developed constant ringing in their ears alongside their migraines, saying it gets louder as the migraine intensifies. They found that listening to classical music helped manage the constant background noise. It's worth bringing this up with a healthcare provider, especially if you notice:

- Ringing that doesn't go away
- Symptoms in only one ear
- New or sudden hearing loss
- Severe dizziness

These can sometimes be migraine-related, but a specialist can help figure out what's going on and explore treatment options to make things more manageable.
