Is tinnitus a disease, is tinnitus a disease?

It may be caused by the outside world, or it may be caused by itself, so it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Tinnitus can occur on its own, or it can be a companion symptom of many diseases, or it can be the first symptom of some serious diseases. There are many causes of tinnitus, which can be divided into the following categories:

1.External ear lesions: common in cerumen embolism, foreign bodies, boils and tumors in the external auditory canal;

2.Middle ear lesions, eustachian tube lesions, acute and chronic otitis media, tumors, etc., can also be seen in tympanic sclerosis and intratympanic vascular lesions;

3.Lesions of the auditory central system in the retrocochlear system: such as acoustic neuroma, cerebellar pontine angle lesions, etc., can also produce tinnitus;

4.Tinnitus caused by other systemic diseases: circulatory system diseases (hypertension, hypotension, arteriosclerosis, endocrine system diseases (such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes), blood diseases (such as anemia, leukemia, etc., autonomic nervous system disorders, mental stress and depression, drug poisoning, cervical spondylosis, temporomandibular joint diseases or malocclusion, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, jugular venous clinkoma and carotid body aneurysm, etc. can also cause tinnitus).

For patients with tinnitus who can be identified, the tinnitus also disappears at the same time after the cause, and the outcome of such patients is ideal.

Often tinnitus has a great impact on people's life and work, and there are many reasons, and there are three common ones: first, the cause of ototoxic drugs, the tinnitus caused by drugs has a great impact on people's life and work, and does not cause hearing loss, and second, the cause of noise, generally speaking, the noise that exceeds the safety noise standard (85-90 decibels) may cause tinnitus to have a great impact on people's life and work, and deafness. 3. Causes of diseases of the outer and middle ear:

When a foreign body in the outer ear (cerurum) touches the eardrum, it can cause tinnitus, which has a great impact on people's life and work. Vascular malformations and lesions of the middle ear may also be caused.

First of all, it is necessary to distinguish which diseases can cause tinnitus. Diseases of the external ear, such as inflammation of the external auditory canal, boils in the external auditory canal, tumors of the external auditory canal, and foreign bodies in the external auditory canal, can cause tinnitus. Tinnitus can also be caused by middle ear disorders, such as secretory otitis media, purulent otitis media, or middle ear tumors or jugular spheroma tumors.

Look at the length of tinnitus + the sound of tinnitus + the impact of tinnitus on life + whether there is deafness, in fact, normal people due to insomnia and work pressure. Mood swings can also cause tinnitus, but it lasts for a very short period of time, for a few seconds, and does not affect your life. But some people with tinnitus for a long time seriously affect their lives and are very painful.

Everyone has experienced tinnitus, but it varies in intensity and duration. Most of the disturbance of tinnitus is "mediocre people disturbing themselves" and looking for it by themselves. Of course, patients should not be careless, once the tinnitus is serious enough to affect life and work, they should actively find a way**.
