Can tinnitus in the left ear affect the right ear, and why is most of the tinnitus in the left ear?

Western medicine believes that tinnitus can be caused by otitis media, excessive earwax, hearing deterioration and other problems, and long-term exposure to high-noise environment can cause damage to hearing cells and early hearing deterioration. However, if you are not affected by noise or ear diseases, but still have tinnitus problems, it is likely to be related to your personal constitution. According to traditional Chinese medicine, tinnitus can be divided into deficiency and real symptoms, although it is not a fatal disease, but intermittent tinnitus can have a great impact on daily life, and even affect hearing.

Therefore, improving lifestyle habits, combined with proper diet and acupressure points, can be expected to improve tinnitus.

Chen Hanxiong, a registered Chinese medicine practitioner, pointed out that "tinnitus" refers to the sound of ringing in the ear, and the cause of tinnitus can be divided into real symptoms and deficiency symptoms, "Deficiency is mainly caused by the deficiency of kidney yin, the so-called 'kidney opens in the ear', that is, if there is a problem with the kidney, it can be reflected in the ear." If the body is too tired and the life pressure is high, it can cause kidney deficiency; As for the real symptoms, they are mostly related to the liver, such as the disturbance of liver fire, phlegm and fire flexion, and wind and heat invasion. ”

Chen continued to point out that due to the hot weather in summer, people are more likely to feel dry, and the liver fire will stagnate in the veins, and most people like to drink cold drinks, which is easy to turn dampness into phlegm, resulting in phlegm and fire bending, so tinnitus is mostly a real symptom in summer, and people with a strong liver constitution are more likely to have dizziness and headache.

Modern people generally have high work pressure, coupled with insufficient rest and late sleep, which increases the risk of tinnitus. "Because such people are more anxious in their daily life, the liver is prone to fever, and if they go to bed late and the body is in a state of fatigue for a long time, it will aggravate the burden on the liver and make the symptoms weak." In addition, if you drink cold drinks again, it can cause phlegm and fire bending.

He suggested that such people should relax their minds and drink less cold drinks on a daily basis.

If tinnitus occurs, it is necessary to identify the type of symptom before prescribing the right medicine, on the contrary, if the wrong prescription is used, the condition will be aggravated. If it is a real disease, the main way is to promote blood and dissolve phlegm and calm the liver and latent yang, and the former can use Chuanxiong, red peony, and bellflower; The latter can be used peony skin, chrysanthemum, abalone shell, etc. As for deficiency, it is necessary to replenish deficiency, mainly to nourish yin and reduce fire and nourish the liver and kidneys. The latter can be used Huaishan, liquerice, kudzu, etc.

In addition to medication, acupressure points can also be used daily to improve tinnitus, such as Hegu acupoint (located on the back of the hand, between the thumb and index finger, about 2 inches into the tiger's mouth), Tinggong acupoint (close to the front of the tragus, the depression after opening the opening) and Xiaguan acupoint (located in front of the ear, the depression under the cheekbones). Each acupuncture point can be repeatedly pressed for one minute, which can help improve the tinnitus problem. In addition, if you have dizziness at the same time, you can press the Taichong acupoint (located on the back of the foot, two inches between the big toe and the second toe) to improve the situation.

Of course, you should also have a regular daily routine, keep enough rest, go to bed early and wake up early, maintain a cheerful mood, and drink plenty of warm drinks to reduce the chance of tinnitus.

The five senses are all connected. It may not have much impact at first, but after a long time, it will have some effect.

There should be some impact, but it shouldn't be very obvious.

Not at the moment, but it is possible in the long run.

Possibly, it depends.

Staying up late is a common problem for many young people nowadays, and it will lead to tinnitus due to staying up late for a long time and the body is in a state of fatigue. Night is the physiological rest time of the human body, and if you don't rest, you will be overtired, resulting in poor blood circulation around the eyes, causing dark circles, eye bags or white eyeballs covered with bloodshots.

For many people with tinnitus, tinnitus symptoms do not necessarily occur in both ears. In most patients, tinnitus symptoms appear in the left ear. Why is that?

Generally, tinnitus patients have unilateral tinnitus, and only a few patients will have tinnitus in both ears. Tinnitus symptoms in the left ear.

Tinnitus in the left ear can also be caused by auditory nerve disorders, most commonly symptomatic reactions to ear diseases, such as otitis externa, otitis media, labyrinthitis, tympanic membrane perforation, otosclerosis, acoustic neuroma and other common symptoms.

Because hearing in the left ear is generally worse than that in the right ear, it may be caused by the nerves in the left ear.

It's not absolute, like I have it myself, but I'm the right ear. This varies from person to person.

Analysis: If you have a buzzing in your ears when you sleep at night, you should consider having tinnitus because the surrounding noise is less at night and you can hear a buzzing in your ears. There are many causes of tinnitus, which can occur with or without deafness:

1.Buzzing bass-pitched tinnitus, which can be caused by cerumen embolism, otitis externa, secretory otitis media, or purulent otitis media, usually disappears after removal of cerurumen, elimination of swelling of the external auditory canal, tympanocentesis**, and tympanic membrane repair. For high-pitched tinnitus, mostly neuropathic tinnitus, methylcobalamin, vitamin B1, cibilin, or carbamazepine tablets can be taken orally**, and for acute onset of neuropathic tinnitus, intravenous lidocaine** can be used.

For those who are ineffective in the above, tinnitus masking can be used.

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.

Vascular 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.

Tinnitus can be an ear injury, such as: washing your hair into water, blowing your nose on your ears, picking your ears and stabbing them, and breaking your ear tube.

Tinnitus can be a systemic disorder, such as overwork, stress, malnutrition, arteriosclerosis, etc.

Tinnitus can also be caused by displacement of the cervical spine and compression of the cervical blood vessels.

Due to congestion of blood vessels or nerve irritation, patients hear the sound of blood flowing through the eardrum.

Prevention includes protecting the ears, blowing the nose carefully, not overexerting, not eating fat, quitting alcohol and smoking, and curing cervical spondylosis.

**Depending on the cause of tinnitus, or 1Positive neck, or 2Anti-inflammatory (supernatant pills), or 3Treatment of vascular blood pressure (Rokumi pill), etc. Take 1The fastest results, 3The results are the slowest.

It is best to go to the otolaryngology.

There are left and right sides of the human ear, so tinnitus is also divided into sides. Some people have tinnitus on only one side, while others have tinnitus on both sides.

Statistics show that for unilateral tinnitus, left-sided tinnitus (4.6 percent of the number of people tested) seems to be more common than right-sided tinnitus (3.4 percent of the number of people tested), and the reason for this is still unclear.

This is because the dominant hemisphere of the brain is on the left side of the right ear and the dominant hemisphere of the left ear is on the right side, but further research work is needed to confirm this.

The difference in the side of tinnitus often reminds us that we should pay attention to the difference in the side of the lesion that causes tinnitus, and according to the side of tinnitus, we should focus on the cause of tinnitus and the location of the lesion.

Hello, tinnitus may be related to insufficient blood supply to the brain, and the common cause of cerebral insufficiency is cerebral arteriosclerosis, which is directly related to hyperlipidemia. Therefore, this is a comprehensive **, mainly to control blood lipids, dilate cerebral blood vessels, and improve cerebral blood supply. In addition, it is recommended that you go to the hospital if you do not use headphones often.

Wishing you good health.

Long-term tinnitus in the left ear is a kind of tinnitus, which generally occurs for a long time, and it is necessary to go to the hospital to clarify ** to rule out diseases such as lower auditory canal pulsitis, eczema of the external auditory canal, and otitis media. If there is a problem in this area, it is enough to take the corresponding action according to **. If it is neurogenic tinnitus, and the onset time is not more than 3 months, it can be carried out according to the **protocol** for sudden deafness**.

If the onset is more than 3 months, symptomatic treatment can be taken**. During the ** period, pay attention to control your diet, medication, exercise, sleep, and mood, avoid contact with noise, and avoid staying up late at night to eliminate bad habits. If tinnitus makes patients feel anxious, depressed, nervous, and scared, causing insomnia, they can go to the otolaryngology department of the hospital for masking**, or buy a mask** device online to mask it yourself.

After a cold, it is easy to cause inflammation of the Eustachian tube, which can lead to tinnitus. There are many causes of tinnitus, in ruling out ear disorders or all.

After other diseases, there are two main reasons, the low blood oxygen content of the inner ear leads to poor local blood circulation, and the auditory nerve is caused by abnormal discharge. Tinnitus is a chronic disease, and the current methods of tinnitus are limited to oral administration.

Medicine, infusion, and efficacy are not ideal. Oral drugs are mainly drugs that dilate blood vessels or nourish nerves, and infusions cannot be given intravenously for a long time. Traditional Chinese medicine** Tinnitus has always been highly regarded, especially for topical administration.

Tinnitus is one of them, and you can learn about it. It is best to pay attention to the diet and drink, coffee, tobacco and alcohol. You can eat more seafood, soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc.

Other than that. You can cooperate with the massage technique, sweep the auricle, put the palm of the hand in front of the ear, flat on the face, evenly push and rub back, wipe the ear behind the ear and push the back of the ear from behind the ear to the front, repeat 50 times, until the ears are slightly warm.

Tinnitus in life, has been bothering a lot of patients friends, we must determine the specific symptoms of the patient, so that we can ensure the patient's best effect at the time, so for this situation we must timely understand some problems with customs clearance and this disease, so what is the left tinnitus?

1. Tinnitus is likely to be caused by external ear diseases, acute and chronic inflammation of the middle ear and tympanic membrane perforation, otosclerosis, Meniere's syndrome of the inner ear, acoustic neuroma, hypertension, hypotension, anemia, diabetes, etc.

2. The appearance of tinnitus may also be due to the precipitation of toxins caused by the patient's long-term use of Western medicine, resulting in ototoxic tinnitus.

3. Tinnitus is also inseparable from people's mental state. Insufficient blood supply and lack of oxygen to the cochlea can cause nerve atrophy inside the cochlea, resulting in tinnitus. Overwork, stress, consumption of strong tea, caffeinated beverages, and excessive smoking are common causes of insufficient blood supply to the cochlea.

4. Physical quality is also related to tinnitus, mostly due to physical weakness, which is mostly caused by no organic lesions, often caused by insufficient vascular tension and poor local blood supply.

How to prevent left tinnitus.

1. Avoid sudden loud noise and long-term noise exposure, which can cause hearing loss and tinnitus, so high-risk groups (working in high-intensity noise environments) should pay special attention to noise protection, such as wearing protective earmuffs, earplugs, etc. Also, do not use Walkman headphones for long periods of time and at loud volumes.

2. Changing bad eating habits, caffeine and alcohol, often aggravate tinnitus symptoms. Smoking can reduce blood oxygen, and the inner ear hair cells, which are extremely sensitive to oxygen, can cause damage to the hair cells due to lack of oxygen. Usually you should pay attention to eating less fatty and sweet foods to prevent stagnation into phlegm and aggravation of the condition.

For those with kidney deficiency and tinnitus, it is especially necessary to reduce the intake of warm and dry diet.

3. Eating food with blood circulation effect can dilate blood vessels, improve blood viscosity, and help maintain the normal microcirculation of small blood vessels in the ear. Red wine, leeks, black fungus, rice wine, etc. can be often eaten.
