What are the causes of tinnitus? What are the causes of tinnitus?

There are many causes of tinnitus, tinnitus refers to the fact that in the absence of sound from the outside world, the patient hears a sound in his ear or skull, which is actually a completely autonomous and subjective sound, which cannot be heard by others. There are many causes of tinnitus, which are divided into subjective tinnitus and objective tinnitus, and the sound you hear belongs to subjective tinnitus. From the symptoms of tinnitus, it can be seen in many diseases, i.e. tinnitus can be a symptom of many diseases.

In some diseases, tinnitus is the main initial symptom, very common, and can be seen in all ages, the causes of tinnitus are about the following: 1. Inflammation of the outer ear and middle ear, that is, diseases of the outer ear and middle ear, caused by inflammation, growth, tumor, blockage, or inflammation of the middle ear cavity; 2. Noise, noise can cause tinnitus, such as often working and living in a noisy environment, and it will cause tinnitus after a long time. There are also young people who like to wear headphones to listen to **, listen to foreign languages, and put the ** sound of the headphones very loudly, and each time they listen to it for a long time, it will produce noisy tinnitus in the long run; 3. Drug poisoning, that is, some drugs are toxic to the ear, which is called ototoxic drugs, such as gentamicin, streptomycin, kanamycin, neomycin, etc.

They have a targeted destructive effect on the nerves of the inner ear. However, not everyone with the above drugs will get tinnitus and hearing problems, but some people are susceptible to these drugs, which is called drug-toxic tinnitus. Secondly, toxic tinnitus also includes tinnitus caused by chemicals and harmful toxins of the human body, such as heavy metal poisoning and chemical poisoning; 4. Trauma can also cause tinnitus, such as touching the ear and injuring the eardrum, or perforating the eardrum; 5. Senile tinnitus will be caused by age, because with the deterioration of ear function with age, the ear nerves in the entire cerebral cortex are in a state of gradual deterioration, and tinnitus will also occur; 6. Some systemic diseases can also cause tinnitus, such as hypertension, diabetes, various endocrine disorders, and various diseases of the thyroid gland, such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, etc., which may cause tinnitus.

**Broadcast.

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

Tinnitus itself is not a disease, it is a symptom of some diseases, a symptom of a disorder or disorder of the hearing system.

Common**: Underlying medical conditions (vascular disease, tinnitus due to hearing loss, ear canal obstruction, eustachian tube dysfunction, head and neck trauma, sinus pressure and barotrauma, other systemic diseases).

There are many causes of tinnitus, which can be summarized into the following aspects: first, cerumen embolization of the external auditory canal, in layman's terms, earwax blocks the external auditory canal, and the tinnitus can disappear after removing cerumen;

2. For otitis media, patients may have symptoms such as tinnitus and stuffiness in the early stage;

3. Sudden deafness, such patients may first have symptoms of tinnitus, and then feel that their hearing has decreased significantly;

4. Acoustic neuroma, some patients come to the clinic because of tinnitus symptoms, and are found to be acoustic neuroma after hearing examination and imaging examination;

5. Meniere's disease, he may have tinnitus symptoms during and early onset, followed by vertigo. Tinnitus is an early warning that something is wrong with your inner ear. The most common causes of tinnitus are these five conditions.

There are many causes of tinnitus, and you should go to the hospital first to check it out to see if the ear is blocking the ear canal. This one is easy to solve.

There are many conditions that can cause tinnitus to appear and have a big impact on the work you do.

Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease, what is a symptom, is what kind of discomfort we feel about me, tinnitus this discomfort, can be caused by different, a variety of diseases, so the causes of tinnitus, are also varied.

Some people's tinnitus, called conductive tinnitus, is that our ears have otitis media, or we have otitis in the external auditory canal, boils in the external auditory canal, otitis externa and so on. The sound of the ear is blocked, and the tinnitus produced in this way is called conductive tinnitus, which is often easier to treat.

The second is neurogenic tinnitus, neurogenic tinnitus is the nerve in the ear is broken, most of the acute occurrence, such as acute occurrence within a few days, called sudden deafness, the cause of sudden deafness is often the blood supply to the ear and other such problems.

There are also some congenital, brought from the womb of the mother, some are related to heredity, some have nothing to do with heredity, middle-aged and elderly people, may be related to age, presbycusis, senile tinnitus, or toxic drugs, or external noise.

In addition, it is related to the blood supply of the ear, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the blood supply of the ear, and the reasons are very varied, but in the middle-aged and elderly people, the ear blood supply, arteriosclerosis, and senile decline are the mainstay.

Hello dear, I am glad to be able to serve you with answers.

There are many causes of tinnitus, most transient tinnitus is mainly caused by poor sleep, mental tension, stress and other factors. However, there is also tinnitus caused by inflammation of the middle ear and the outer ear, which can basically be recovered by anti-inflammatory** and cleaning the ear canal. Of course, there are also injuries to the inner ear, or damage to the auditory cortex and auditory pathways, such as ototoxic drugs, trauma, etc., which may cause neurological tinnitus, which needs to be related by drugs that improve inner ear circulation, as well as hormonal drugs.

There are also causes caused by the pulsation of blood vessels, such as the diverticulum of the sigmoid sinus, etc., which can be operated on**.

I hope mine can be helpful to you, if you are satisfied, please give a thumbs up! Finally, I wish you good health and a good mood!

The cause of tinnitus, generally the brain to the ear, and the auditory system, makes a sensory nerve response, tinnitus is caused by many reasons, some vascular diseases may cause different degrees of tinnitus, such as jugular venous bulb high, benign intracranial hypertension.

Physiological tinnitus, when you are in a quiet environment for a long time, you may hear the sound of tinnitus, you can not worry about it. Pathological tinnitus, including noisy tinnitus, hearing loss with tinnitus. Taking some medications may also cause tinnitus to occur.

Symptoms of tinnitus may be left behind after a traumatic injury or car accident.

The symptoms of tinnitus are usually due to a series of symptoms such as high pressure, liver stagnation, phlegm and dampness, liver and kidney deficiency, etc. In addition, the body's endocrine and metabolic abnormalities, or nutrients cannot be absorbed and metabolized in the body.

The cause of tinnitus is the damage to the hair cells of the cochlea caused by various reasons, which can cause tinnitus. There are two types of tinnitus, one is reversible and the other is irreversible, such as anemia, which usually causes bilateral tinnitus. In traditional Chinese medicine, patients with kidney deficiency wake up in the morning, there is buzzing on both sides, and then they need to check their hearing, if the hearing is normal, this situation is reversible.

Then there is tinnitus caused by poor general condition, which is the first step. The second step is the ear, the low-frequency buzzing sound in the hair cells, plus there is a sense of ear closure, which is also reversible, the specific cause of this phenomenon is still being studied statistically, it may be that the ears, facial features, and the pipeline leading to the nose are blocked, so it will cause this low-frequency buzzing sound, and accompanied by a sense of ear closure, which is that you always feel that something is blocked there, and after the examination, you can make an audiogram, and then use the appropriate medication, and you can recover. There is also a kind of high frequency, what is high frequency?

It means that the sound of violin and airplane taking off, that is low-frequency, and the highest-key violin sound is high-frequency, often this high-pitch is accompanied by high-frequency hearing loss, and high-frequency hearing loss is a very high-key thing, so that the hair cells are damaged, in this case, it is usually more difficult to deal with, so once found, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to deal with it.
