What causes tinnitus? What causes tinnitus?

The ** of tinnitus is more complex and can generally be divided into two categories:

Otogenetic diseases (i.e., associated with ear diseases) are often accompanied by hearing loss, such as ototoxic drug poisoning, viral infections, and inadequate blood supply to the inner ear.

Non-otogenic diseases, in addition to tinnitus, such patients are often accompanied by other symptoms of corresponding diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, traumatic brain injury, etc.

Tinnitus symptoms are mild or transient usually not taken seriously, and when tinnitus is severe, it can be harmful to patients. The degree of this harm correlates with the severity of tinnitus.

The harm of tinnitus to people is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1) Affect the patient's hearing: Severe tinnitus often affects the patient's ability to understand what others are saying, just as we listen to others in a noisy environment. Tinnitus often makes patients not rest well, resulting in extremely boring feelings, so that dizziness, inability to concentrate, and decreased auditory sensitivity.

2) Psychological pressure: Severe persistent tinnitus often makes patients feel that some catastrophic lesions are coming, so they have a feeling of extreme fear and great psychological pressure.

3) Affect people's spiritual life: Once suffering from tinnitus, especially long-term severe tinnitus, it often makes people irritable and affects sleep, so that people have a pessimistic and boring mood. And this irritability, in turn, aggravates tinnitus symptoms.

The effect of this vicious circle makes the mental burden of tinnitus patients aggravate, and there are often manifestations such as mental concerns, fear and excessive mental tension. This, in turn, seriously affects work and thus causes greater pressure on life and society.

The most common cause of tinnitus, which we call neurogenic tinnitus, is caused by neural deafness. If one or both of our patient's ears appear suddenly or progressively, or simply caused by aging, this kind of neural deafness will more or less cause tinnitus. If this deafness is not recovered after **, this tinnitus is often accompanied by deafness all the time.

Of course, there are also some tinnitus that is not neurological, it may be an objective tinnitus, which is manifested as a pulsatile tinnitus that is similar to the rhythm of the heartbeat, and there is a rhythm of this kind of tinnitus. Most of this tinnitus is not directly related to the ear itself, and it is necessary to consider some vascular diseases around the ear. For example, the large vascular plaque in the neck, the jugular venous bulb, the sigmoid sinus or the anterior inferior cerebellar artery in the skull, etc., the labyrinth artery.

If there is a problem with abnormal pulsation of the blood vessels, the tinnitus will be transmitted to the ears.

Tinnitus is a relatively common otolaryngological symptom, and there are many reasons for tinnitus, which are more common due to inflammatory reactions, such as acute otitis media, acute inflammation of the external auditory canal, chronic otitis media, and may be caused by age factors.

There are also some patients because of neurological tinnitus, a small number of patients are caused by neoplastic lesions, such as acoustic neuroma, meningioma, middle ear cancer, tinnitus at the same time need to go to the otolaryngology department as soon as possible, you can do an audiology test, middle ear mastoid CT, head MRI, the main purpose is to clarify the cause and degree of tinnitus, and then carry out targeted **.

There are many causes of tinnitus, such as long-term exposure to noise, or genetics or age. There are also patients who have inflammatory diseases of the ear, such as otitis media. Some people may have tinnitus caused by long-term use of ototoxic drugs, or long-term mental stress and poor rest.

Tinnitus usually manifests as a single or multiple cicada-like or buzzing sounds in the ear, but there is no such sound in the actual environment. There are many clinical factors such as tinnitus, which are usually related to noise, otitis media, high blood pressure, personal constitution, cervical spondylosis, anger, anxiety, fatigue and other related factors that lead to poor blood circulation, insufficient blood supply, and vasospasm in the inner ear, which causes nerve circulation disorders in the inner ear and leads to tinnitus.

The main cause of tinnitus is that the ear is accompanied by hearing loss and damage, so that the perceived signal is a sign of tinnitus. Tinnitus may also occur in women with systemic causes, such as hyperthyroidism, anemia, or menopause. There is also an objective type of tinnitus, including vascular malformations, sigmoid diverticulum, and tympanic spheroid tumors.

Most of the causes of tinnitus are caused by fire, so you should take some medicine to reduce fire, and if it doesn't work, seek medical attention immediately.

Presbycusis: mostly due to senile arteriosclerosis and bone hyperplasia, resulting in insufficient blood supply to spiral hair cells and spiral ganglia, degenerative lesions, or central nervous system decline, resulting in hearing loss.

Mental or emotional factors. Patients who have been suffering from anxiety or depression for a long time are more likely to experience tinnitus.

Stress, noisy surrounding sounds for a long time, people are anxious.

There are many reasons and the situation is complicated, so it is recommended to go to the hospital.

Tinnitus is an indication of disease.

1. Systemic diseases.

When kidney disease, hepatobiliary disease, diabetes, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis, etc. cause systemic dysfunction, tinnitus symptoms often appear, and its characteristics are the same as those caused by drug poisoning, which are high-pitched and bilateral. This tinnitus usually goes away with the above diseases**.

Tinnitus is an indication of disease.

2. Drug poisoning.

Damage to the inner ear nerve in large doses of quinine, quinidine, chloroquine and other drugs can cause severe tinnitus, but it will improve after stopping the drug, and most of them do not affect hearing. Gentamicin, streptomycin, kanamycin and other drugs can damage the auditory nerve and vestibular nerve, and tinnitus can occur, and if the drug is not stopped in time, it can quickly develop into deafness and be difficult to recover. Tinnitus caused by drug allergies or poisoning is often high-pitched and bilateral.

Tinnitus is an indication of disease.

3. Physical weakness.

This type of tinnitus is usually caused by lack of vascular tone and poor local blood supply. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is a manifestation of kidney deficiency.

The above introduces three causes of tinnitus that induce people, and it seems that there are many causes of tinnitus. Because there are more cases of tinnitus, everyone should be more careful to prevent it and not let tinnitus have a chance. In addition, sitting in front of the computer for a long time may also induce tinnitus, so everyone should pay more attention.

There are many causes of tinnitus, such as long-term exposure to a noisy environment that can cause hearing loss and transient tinnitus. In addition, otitis media, which is caused by water entering the ears while swimming, can also cause transient tinnitus. Wearing headphones for a long time and turning on the sound loudly can also cause damage to the ears and even cause tinnitus.

In either case, it is necessary to stop it in time to prevent the aggravation of the disease and cause more serious consequences.

Analysis: Living under noise for a long time can cause damage to people's ears, which may lead to tinnitus. The production workshop of the factory is often relatively noisy, and people who work in this area are very prone to tinnitus.

Wearing headphones for a long time, or loud speakers, can also cause tinnitus. Ear diseases can cause symptomatic tinnitus, and the elderly have a higher probability of tinnitus due to organ degeneration. Typical tinnitus will disappear in a short period of time, and if it is long, you should go to the hospital**.

There are many causes of tinnitus, such as ear disease otitis media.

Hundreds of diseases can cause tinnitus. Staying up late for a long time, mental stress, bad living habits and bad emotions can cause tinnitus, poor Eustachian tube function after a cold can cause tinnitus, otitis media, sudden deafness, Meniere, otosclerosis, nasopharyngeal cancer, acoustic neuroma, coronary heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage can cause tinnitus. These are common causes of tinnitus, and it is recommended that patients and friends go to a regular hospital for systematic investigation as soon as possible after tinnitus appears, so as to avoid missing tinnitus as an early warning of the disease.

There are many causes of tinnitus, and there are hundreds of common diseases that can cause tinnitus, which is also the reason why tinnitus is difficult to treat. Generally, the more common ones that can cause tinnitus are: foreign bodies in the external auditory canal, drugs *** or ototoxic drugs, followed by some ear lesions, such as otitis externa, otitis media, otosclerosis, tympanic negative pressure, cochlea, retrocochlear and central auditory pathway lesions.

In addition to these, systemic diseases and psychiatric factors are also common. All of these require the doctor to give you a comprehensive diagnosis, and advise the patient to go to a regular hospital for regular ** as soon as possible if he has tinnitus.

Tubular disease.

Vascular disease most commonly causes pulsatile tinnitus. For example, the arteries near the temporal part of the ear may transmit the sound of turbulent blood, and the carotid artery system is also a common sound**. Patients with benign intracranial hypertension, sigmoid diverticulum, or significant jugular bulb may hear venous humming.

Tinnitus caused by hearing loss.

Hearing loss associated with ageing, known as presbycusis, usually begins around the age of 60.

Long-term exposure to high-decibel noise, or prolonged exposure to noisy environments, can also damage a person's auditory system and lead to hearing loss, such as large entertainment events or violent chainsaws.

In the case of hearing loss, the brain is unable to accept certain frequencies of sound and the brain begins to adapt, and tinnitus may be a way for the brain to fill this gap.

Middle ear blockage or Eustachian tube dysfunction.

Blockage of the ear canal can lead to increased pressure in the inner ear, affecting the function of the eardrum. For example, excessive earwax, middle ear effusion, etc. The Eustachian tubes are abnormally open and can cause tinnitus that resembles the roar of the ocean, and the frequency is synchronized with breathing.

Head and neck trauma.

Severe trauma to the head or neck can damage nerves, blood flow and muscles, causing tinnitus. This tinnitus symptom tends to be severe.

Temporomandibular joint disorders.

The temporomandibular joint, which connects the mandible to the skull, is located at the front of the ear and controls movements such as opening, closing, or chewing.

Damage to the muscles, ligaments, articular cartilage in the temporomandibular joint, can cause tinnitus symptoms because it is adjacent to the auditory system and shares part of the ligaments and nerves with the middle ear. In this type of tinnitus, patients may also feel jaw pain or have limited jaw movement; When chewing or speaking, there are fricatives.

Sinus pressure and barotrauma.

Nasal congestion caused by a severe cold, flu or sinus infection can create abnormal pressure in the middle ear, causing tinnitus. In the case of diving, diving, etc., acute barotrauma caused by violent and rapid changes in water pressure may also damage the middle and inner ears, causing tinnitus.

Tinnitus caused by ototoxic drugs.

Some prescription medications*** also include tinnitus. Most of the time, this tinnitus is an acute, transient condition*** and if you stop taking the medication, the tinnitus symptoms usually lessen or disappear.

Some ototoxic medications, such as some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, may cause symptoms of permanent tinnitus.

Other systemic diseases.

Endocrine diseases: hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, diabetes.

Cardiovascular diseases: hypertension, atherosclerosis.

Psychiatric disorders: depression, anxiety, catatia.

Tumor: acoustic neuroma.

Regardless of the reason, just be in time.

Tinnitus is a common disease, and there are many causes of tinnitus. Tinnitus is easy to reverse, not easy. The causes of tinnitus are as follows:

Clause. 1. Diseases of the auditory system, including cerumen embolism of the external auditory canal, foreign body in the external auditory canal, otitis media, otosclerosis, Meniere's disease, sudden deafness, noise deafness, presbycusis, acoustic neuroma, etc.

Clause. 2. Diseases of the whole system, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, mental stress and depression, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, cervical spondylosis, temporomandibular joint disorders, etc.

Tinnitus should be paid attention to, and combined with drugs, you can take Jinnaduo, Mikebao and other drugs orally. For patients with nervous stress and depression, psychological counseling and adjustment methods can be used, and tinnitus can also be used to mask **, such as when the tinnitus is severe at night, you can listen to the soft light**, cover up the sound of tinnitus, and you can also use the adsorption of tinnitus**. Patients with tinnitus should avoid staying up late and avoid excessive fatigue and nervousness.

Tinnitus is an unformed abnormal acoustic hallucination in the ear or skull in the absence of an external sound source. This regression, or sound sensation, can be one or more and lasts for a certain period of time.

Tinnitus is not a disease in itself, it is a symptom of some diseases. People can have physiological tinnitus, and when the tinnitus exceeds the physiological limit, it becomes symptomatic tinnitus.

Patients with hearing loss often have tinnitus, which is often a symptom of a disorder or disorder of the hearing system.

Some people experience tinnitus symptoms worse after smoking, drinking, drinking caffeinated beverages, eating certain foods, or when they are stressed or fatigued, but the specific cause is not fully understood.

Stay away from factors that cause tinnitus or hearing loss in your daily life, including:

Stay away from the noise. Noise can damage a person's hearing system, causing short-term tinnitus or permanent hearing damage. Noise should be kept away or appropriate precautions should be taken to isolate it.

When the symptoms of tinnitus occur after taking certain medications, it is necessary to communicate with the doctor in time.

If the earwax is too thick or too much, do not treat it with a cotton swab yourself, and ask a doctor to help clean it up.

Monitor your blood pressure often to prevent it from getting too high or too low.

Get enough sleep. Sleep disorders or lack of sleep time may induce tinnitus, and insomnia and tinnitus can also form a vicious circle with each other, and sleep health should be emphasized.

Negative emotions such as depression and anxiety can induce tinnitus or worsen the original tinnitus. With the help of a psychologist, negative emotions can be controlled.

Massage. Massage your ears: Rub your palms together and cover your ears with the hot palms, then release your hands again, repeating 30 times.

Massage the acupoints: Use your index finger or thumb to gently press and rub the acupoints for about 5 minutes. The auditory point is in front of the ear, and the mouth is hollow.

Acupuncture. Acupuncture**The acupuncture points of tinnitus are usually in the ears, including the auricular acupoint, the auditory palace acupoint, and the auditory acupoint. There are also some other acupuncture points in the body, including Yindu acupoint, Taixi acupoint, Fengchi acupoint, Zhongzhu acupoint and so on.
