As a theology professor, I spend time reading the bible to get the spiritual meaning of some of the scriptures in the bible. Throughout my reading, I have come to appreciate how God created every part of our body and how he can use any of it to convey his message.
Recently, I stumbled across a spiritual book about the meanings of the ringing right ear. I was especially intrigued by how some people interpreted this occurrence, and I wanted to know more about it and compare it with what the bible says of it. I then decided to do more research through different spiritual and cultural books.
Last week, a member of my online forum wanted to know the meaning of the right ear ringing, as he was also curious about what different cultures think and if there was any spiritual meaning to it.
Having done vast research, I knew I had the answers he was looking for. So, what is the spiritual meaning of ringing in your right ear?
Although there is not a scripture in the bible that addresses this topic directly, some people believe that a ringing in your right ear is a sign that you are about to receive some good news or fortune in your life. Other people also believe that a ringing right ear indicates that someone is speaking highly of you and may also be thinking about you. Others also believe that a ringing in the right ear may indicate your spiritual growth.
So, join me until the end as I explore more about this topic. I will discuss the medical cause of ringing ears, how to tell the difference between medical and spiritual causes of ringing ears, and eight spiritual reasons why your right ear is ringing, among other interesting topics.
What is the medical cause of ringing ears?
The ringing of the ears in the medical industry is known as Tinnitus. Medical experts have linked this occurrence to various health conditions, and it can also be experienced as a symptom. Below are medical conditions that can cause the ringing of the ears;
Meniere’s disease
This medical condition usually affects the inner ear, which is responsible for balance and hearing. Medical experts suggest that this ear condition is caused by changes in the fluid in tubes of the inner ear, while others also suggest that allergies can cause it.
This condition can lead to the ringing of the ears when it is not treated on time. Meniere’s disease only affects either the right or left ear but can be treated with the right medication.
Hearing loss
A person experiencing hearing loss may also hear different sounds in their ears, as this is a contributing symptom to this condition.
Hearing loss majorly affects people of old age, but a newborn baby can also be born with it. If one experiences sound in their ears with this condition, it may drastically affect them more, as it will only worsen their situation.
Medicine containing ototoxic
Medical experts also suggest that one can experience ringing ears if they take medication that contains ototoxic. They further suggest that this substance can damage one’s ears as one f its side effect is ringing ears.
Some of the medicines that can lead to ringing ears include quinine, aspirin, and antidepressant drugs.
Exposure to loud noises/sound
Medical experts also suggest that ringing ears can be caused by prolonged exposure to loud sounds or noises, as these loud noises can cause permanent damage to the cochlea, an organ found in the inner ear. Medical experts suggest that pilots, carpenters, and people who work with guns are at risk of getting ringing ears.
Injuries to the neck and head
Medical experts also suggest that an injury to the head or neck can cause ringing ears. This is because the inner parts of the ears are connected with these body parts, and therefore, the ear will be easily affected.
Respiratory tract infections
Respiratory tract infections, especially the upper ones like sinusitis and the common cold, can increase the pressure applied in your inner ears, which can result in the ringing of the ears.
How can you tell the difference between medical and spiritual causes of ringing ears?
According to Spiritual people, you can easily differentiate between medical and spiritual ringing ears by their effect on a person or if a diagnosis can be made on it.
For instance, it is believed that there are two forms of ringing ears (Tinnitus). There is the subjective Tinnitus which is said that it can only be heard by the person experiencing it.
Some people believe that this form of Tinnitus cannot be detected or diagnosed by medical doctors. On the other side is objective Tinnitus, which can easily be identified through a medical examination.
Since medical experts cannot detect subjective Tinnitus, some people suggest that this type of ringing ears is likely to be associated with the spiritual world.
It is also suggested that another difference between medical and spiritual ringing ears is the outcome or effect the person feels. It is believed that the medical ringing of the ears can affect one’s physical health because it may lead to worse health problems, while the spiritual ringing of the ears does not affect one’s physical health.
It is also believed that if the ringing of the ears is medically related, one will have to be treated for the issue to go away. On the other hand, if the ringing of ears is spiritually caused, one doesn’t have to treat it as if it will fade on its own.
