    There are many problems caused by tinnitus, including ear diseases and systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, traumatic brain injury, etc., and the tinnitus caused by these diseases is mostly a problem with human body functions, not necessarily a problem with the ear organs, so it cannot be said that long-term tinnitus will definitely cause hearing loss.

    Otogenic tinnitus is often caused by diseases of the outer, middle and inner ears, and can be divided into low-pitched tinnitus and high-pitched tinnitus, but low-pitched tinnitus is the most common. The former is like the wind, the neighing of trains, and the thunder; The latter is like cicadas, whistles, and birds, and most of the tinnitus in the elderly is high-pitched tinnitus.

    Non-otogenic tinnitus is often triggered by mood swings, restlessness, and nervousness. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as forgetfulness, dreaminess, and palpitations. Lesions of the circulatory system are closely related to tinnitus.

    Diseases such as arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure, which older people are more likely to suffer, can cause tinnitus. Arteriosclerosis tends to cause rhythmic pulsatile tinnitus, while hypertension often causes tinnitus with the same rhythm and pulse, which is bilateral. Tinnitus is also common in patients with neurasthenia, which is often worse at night and lessens or disappears in the morning, due to daytime exertion and overthinking.

    Tinnitus often causes a lot of pain to the patient, and sometimes even affects the normal life and work. Diagnosis of tinnitus begins with a history and examination of the ears and the whole body to find out and then to target it. In severe cases, sedatives and vitamin B1, gamma oryzanol can be given as appropriate.

    Or wear hearing aids or use tinnitus masking devices**, that is, use sound to mask tinnitus, and do more explanation and counseling work for patients to eliminate doubts, and the symptoms can be reduced or even disappeared.

    People with tinnitus are often anxious because they worry that tinnitus will cause deafness. In fact, quite the opposite, tinnitus does not cause deafness. Hearing loss, if left unattended, can lead to tinnitus due to:

    Because hearing loss causes the brain to not feel enough sound, in the long run, the brain will actively produce sound, which is tinnitus. Therefore, people with hearing loss, especially those with more severe hearing loss, should pay enough attention to their hearing problems!

    Many people usually have mild tinnitus and deafness, which do not attract much attention. However, if the tinnitus does not improve for a long time, and there is a progressive decline in hearing, we must pay more attention to it and go to the hospital for timely examination to rule out acoustic neuroma. Acoustic neuroma is a tumor that grows in the cerebellar angle of the intracranial pontine cerebellum, originating from the auditory nerve sheath, and the exact name should be acoustic nerve sheath tumor, which is a benign tumor with slow growth and a relatively long course of disease.

    It accounts for 10% of intracranial tumors and is more common in adults, peaking in 30-50 years of age and less common in people under 20 years of age. The early symptoms of acoustic neuroma are mainly ear symptoms, the tumor is small, one side of the tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo appear, and a few patients develop deafness after a long time. Tinnitus may be accompanied by episodic vertigo or nausea and vomiting.

    These symptoms are atypical, and are easily ignored or misdiagnosed by patients, and sometimes misdiagnosed as sudden deafness.

    This question is a very old question, whether long-term tinnitus can cause deafness, and now it can be clearly said that tinnitus does not cause deafness. But there are some patients, tinnitus for a long time, he will have hearing loss, this time may be the same ** element, which leads to the occurrence of our tinnitus and deafness, but tinnitus does not cause deafness, and deafness does not lead to tinnitus, so what we said before, the topic of deafness after a long time is wrong.

    Tinnitus is an abnormal manifestation of our sensory organs, or nerves, auditory nerves, or centers after being damaged, but tinnitus is a relatively subjective symptom, which may have a lot to do with the patient's own mental emotions and psychology.

    Therefore, the occurrence of tinnitus is not necessarily caused by pathological damage, but may also be caused by emotional factors, so there is no inevitable cause between tinnitus and deafness.

    If the tinnitus lasts for a long time, the auditory nerve will be damaged, which will be accompanied by neuropathic hearing loss. In the past, I often heard the phrase "If you sound for a long time, you will be deaf", but in fact, this sentence is not accurate. There are many causes of tinnitus, mainly diseases of the ear, such as diseases of the outer ear

    Otitis externa, cerumen embolism, foreign bodies in the outer ear, acute and chronic inflammation of the middle ear, perforation of the eardrum, otosclerosis, Meniere's syndrome of the inner ear, and acoustic neuroma can all cause tinnitus. Tinnitus can also occur due to vascular diseases, such as jugular spheroid tumors and dilated small blood vessels in the ear, so you should go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible to find out what causes tinnitus. Take a special or symptomatic approach to the target.

    Whether tinnitus causes hearing loss is mainly related to the cause of tinnitus**, but in most cases, tinnitus may be accompanied by hearing loss. Tinnitus is not a disease, but a symptom, and there are many causes of tinnitus, some of which may also cause hearing loss. If tinnitus is caused by cerumen plugging or a foreign body in the ear canal, it may be accompanied by hearing loss.

    Tinnitus may also be caused by some ear diseases, such as tumors in the external auditory canal, inflammation of the external auditory canal, boils in the external auditory canal, cholesteatoma in the external auditory canal, perforation of the eardrum, otitis media, eustachian tube dysfunction, etc., which may cause symptoms of tinnitus and hearing loss.

    Long-term tinnitus may affect hearing, and if it is in the state of tinnitus for a long time, it is likely to cause damage to sensory nerves and ear nerve groups, which will cause hearing loss and bring trouble to life. Tinnitus is generally caused by factors such as Eustachian tube dysfunction, middle ear blockage, sinus pressure, barotrauma, etc.

    Suggestion: Be positive about the cause**, and at the same time maintain a good attitude and avoid being too nervous. It is best to stay away from noisy environments every day, or take effective protective measures according to the doctor's instructions to isolate noise, or you can properly massage the ears in your spare time to relieve the symptoms of tinnitus.

    Yes. Frequent tinnitus can lead to hearing loss, and frequent tinnitus may be caused by too much secretion in the ear canal, or it may be caused by being too stressed for a long time or picking your ears frequently. It is not excluded that it is a cranial lesion, which is closely related to external environmental factors, and often activities in a noisy or noisy environment can cause tinnitus, and in severe cases, it will lead to hearing loss.

    It is necessary to go to the otolaryngology department of a regular tertiary hospital as soon as possible for a comprehensive examination to understand the specific causes of tinnitus, and then use some drugs to dilate blood vessels and nutritional nerves**.

    Eat less puffed food and don't drink carbonated drinks during the ** period.

There are many causes of tinnitus, mainly because of noise, and long-term work and life in a noisy environment will cause serious hearing damage to patients and increase the probability of tinnitus. Once the patient finds that he has tinnitus, he needs to go to the hospital for otolaryngology diagnosis in time and seek help from a doctor.

    People with long-term tinnitus do not necessarily become deaf, tinnitus and deafness are two different symptoms of hearing abnormalities.

    Patients who are in a state of anxiety and depression for a long time, excessive mental stress, autonomic nervous disorders and other factors may cause long-term tinnitus, but as long as such patients are not accompanied by ear diseases and abnormalities in the structure of the ear canal, they will not have deafness.

    However, if the patient is due to otitis media or otosclerosis that cannot be effectively obtained for a long time, or suffers from malignant diseases such as acoustic neuroma, resulting in long-term tinnitus, such conditions may cause deafness symptoms due to permanent damage to the auditory nerve in the later stage.
