What is the cause of a buzzing sound in the ear

The kind of request you're talking about could be tinnitus, and people with tinnitus often feel a buzzing in their ears, or like a cicada. If it is not timely diagnosed and controlled, it will seriously affect the daily life and work of patients.

Ear buzzing is a sign of tinnitus, which can be caused by ear damage or nerve factors.

People with tinnitus often hear buzzing, sizzling, and other sounds. Buzzing is often a sound that only the patient can hear, and is called subjective tinnitus. There are many triggers for tinnitus, and injuries and disorders in the outer, middle, and inner ears can cause tinnitus.

Tinnitus may occur due to the presence of a foreign body, cerumen blockage, or inflammation of the external auditory canal in the outer ear, and a buzzing sound in the ear such as inflammation of the middle ear, perforation of the eardrum by accident, nerve and sensory problems in the inner ear. When encountering a buzzing ear, it is recommended that the patient should actively go to the hospital for further examination, and confirm the diagnosis as soon as possible** for symptomatic**.

Buzzing in the ear, which can be caused by a lesion of the outer, middle, or inner ear, is caused by:

1. External ear lesions: such as embolism of cerumen of the external auditory canal, acute inflammation of the external auditory canal, fungal otitis externa, or external auditory canal tumors;

2. Middle ear lesions: such as acute inflammation in the pants of the middle ear, secretory otitis media, chronic purulent otitis media, otosclerosis, round and middle ear tumors, etc.;

3. Inner ear lesions: It is a common cause, if the patient suddenly has ear buzzing, a small number of patients are accompanied by ear stuffiness and hearing loss, which may be caused by acute sudden deafness or acute sudden neurological tinnitus. Patients with Meniere's disease have recurrent episodes of vertigo, accompanied by ringing ears, ear stuffiness, and decreased physical strength.

A small number of patients may be caused by tumors, such as acoustic neuroma. Ear buzzing is mainly caused by the following reasons:

First, cerumen embolism or a foreign body in the external auditory canal, which can cause an ear buzzing that can be relieved when the embolized cerumen and foreign body are removed.

Second, otitis media causes ear buzzing, including acute otitis media, especially secretory otitis media, when there is fluid in the tympanic cavity, it will cause obvious tinnitus, and there will be symptoms of hearing loss and ear pain. Prompt medical attention should be given with oral antibiotics and nasal sprays** to relieve tinnitus symptoms.

Thirdly, sudden deafness causes ear buzzing, hearing loss, and occasionally vertigo. Prompt medical attention, preferably within a week**, should be done to relieve tinnitus, improve hearing, and avoid permanent hearing loss and persistence of tinnitus.

If there is frequent buzzing in the ear, it is likely to be tinnitus, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.

If it is tinnitus, if you don't sleep well or work in a noisy environment for a long time, you will have tinnitus, so it is recommended to seek medical attention in time.

Ear buzzing, i.e., tinnitus, may be caused by ear diseases, brain diseases, systemic diseases, trauma, medications, environmental factors, mental and psychological factors, etc.

1.Ear diseases: Cerumen embolism, foreign body in the external auditory canal, otitis media, Meniere's disease, sudden deafness, acoustic neuroma and other ear diseases can cause tinnitus, ear pain, abnormal discharge from the ear canal, vertigo and other manifestations.

2.Brain diseases: Intracranial tumors, migraines, transient ischemic attacks, strokes and other brain diseases can cause tinnitus, which can be accompanied by dizziness, headache, blurred vision, weakness of one limb, slurred speech and other manifestations.

3.Systemic diseases: Tinnitus can also occur due to anemia, hypertension, thyroid dysfunction and other diseases caused by various causes.

4.Trauma: Tinnitus, headache, memory loss and other manifestations may occur after head or ear trauma.

5.Drugs: Adverse reactions of drugs such as aminoglycosides can cause auditory dysfunction, tinnitus, hearing loss and other manifestations.

6.Environmental factors: Environmental factors such as noise can affect hearing function, and there will be tinnitus, hearing loss and other manifestations.

7.Mental and psychological factors: nervousness, anxiety, excessive stress and other conditions can affect people's nerve function, and tinnitus, headache, fatigue and other manifestations will occur.

If the tinnitus persists or reverses, it is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, further diagnosis, and carry out ** according to the doctor's requirements to avoid self-judgment delay**.

1.May be due to cerumen embolism of the external auditory canal. When the earwax is relatively full, the earwax rubs with the movement, and buzzing tinnitus will occur.

2.It may be caused by the entry of a foreign body into the external auditory canal. Foreign bodies include animal and plant objects, such as insects or hair strands.

3.May be due to a benign tumor of the external auditory canal, such as cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal.

4.It may be due to a middle ear disorder. For example, secretory otitis media refers to the intact tympanic membrane, but there is fluid accumulation in the middle ear, because the part of the middle ear and nasopharyngeal ventilation is called the eustachian tube.

5.May be due to inner ear pathology.

This is a symptom of tinnitus, and there are still many tinnitus genres, such as common noise damage, drug-based, three highs, kidney deficiency, cold, otitis media, etc., which need to be targeted here.

Tinnitus is mostly caused by physical reasons, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible**, as it does not heal for a long time or leads to hearing loss in the ear.
