How is earwax produced? Aggravating tinnitus?

Earwax is a cerumen gland secreted by the subcutaneous cerumen gland of the external auditory canal**, usually a yellow liquid that has been dried to form a thin sheet. Usually the ear has a natural function of elimination, such as eating or talking, and cerumen is expelled from the external auditory canal, so it usually does not need to be removed.

In most cases, tinnitus is the brain's sensory nerve response to damage to the ear and auditory system. Tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss, and there are hundreds of diseases that can produce symptoms of tinnitus. Here are a few of the most common causes of tinnitus**:

1. Vascular diseases.

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

Other systemic diseases.

Endocrine diseases: hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, diabetes.

Cardiovascular diseases: hypertension, atherosclerosis.

Psychiatric disorders: depression, anxiety, catatia.

Tumor: acoustic neuroma.

What are the triggers of tinnitus?

Some people smoke, drink, and drink caffeine.

Tinnitus symptoms can be aggravated by drinking certain foods, stress, fatigue, etc., but the specific cause is not fully understood.

The cause of tinnitus, if it is pulsatile tinnitus, we now check that it is a defect in the tympanic wall of the sigmoid and transverse sinuses, and that it is caused by a diverticulum. We do this surgery**, and it's more than 85%.** There are some other conditions related to vascular tinnitus, arterial and venous fistulas and vascular stenosis, which is also the reason for one thing, you can also put stenotic vascularized stents, and arteriovenous fistulas can be embolized to ** tinnitus.

The cause of other neurological tinnitus is that the nerve cells of our inner ear are ischemia and hypoxia, which leads to changes in its function, and some of its abnormal discharges cause tinnitus, and the low frequency is also because our nerve cells, the basement membrane of the cochlea, have a cochlear space that goes from the bottom to the cochlea, which is distributed from high frequency to low frequency. If it is a high-profile tinnitus, it may be the cochlea, or the nerve cells in the transit place due to ischemia and hypoxia causing its functional changes, or its abnormal discharge caused by tinnitus, the cause of tinnitus is very complex, and the reason for this may be more common now.

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 amount of time.

Tinnitus is not a disease in itself, it is a symptom of some diseases. People can have physiological tinnitus, and when the tinnitus exceeds the physiological limit, it becomes symptomatic tinnitus.

Patients with hearing loss often have tinnitus, which is often a symptom of a disorder or disorder of the hearing system.

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.

Stay away from factors that cause tinnitus or hearing loss in your daily life, including:

Stay away from noise. Noise can damage a person's hearing system, causing short-term tinnitus, or permanent hearing damage. Noise should be kept away or appropriate precautions should be taken to isolate it.

When the symptoms of tinnitus occur after taking certain medications, it is necessary to communicate with the doctor in time.

If the earwax is too thick or too much, do not treat it with a cotton swab yourself, and ask a doctor to help clean it up.

Monitor your blood pressure often to prevent it from getting too high or too low.

Get enough sleep. Sleep disorders or lack of sleep time may induce tinnitus, and insomnia and tinnitus can also form a vicious circle with each other, and sleep health should be emphasized.

Negative emotions such as depression and anxiety can induce tinnitus or worsen the original tinnitus. With the help of a psychologist, negative emotions can be controlled.

Massage. Massage your ears: Rub your palms together and cover your ears with the hot palms, then release your hands again, repeating 30 times.

Massage the acupoints: Use your index finger or thumb to gently press and rub the acupoints for about 5 minutes. The auditory point is in front of the ear, and the mouth is hollow.

Acupuncture. Acupuncture**The acupuncture points of tinnitus are usually in the ears, including the auricular acupoint, the auditory palace acupoint, and the auditory acupoint. There are also some other acupuncture points in the body, including Yindu acupoint, Taixi acupoint, Fengchi acupoint, Zhongzhu acupoint and so on.

According to your description, the causes of tinnitus include diseases of the auditory system, such as cerumen embolism, masses or foreign bodies in the external auditory canal, various otitis media, otosclerosis, Meniere's disease, sudden deafness trauma, etc. Systemic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, hypotension, autonomic dysfunction, nervous stress, depression, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, inflammatory virus infection, trauma, drug poisoning, cervical spondylosis, etc.

Mainly because the kidneys are not good, tinnitus is difficult to cure, and even if the kidneys are replenished, it is difficult to go back to the past. It is said that some home remedies that are not passed on are effective, so don't be impatient if you have tinnitus, listen to the sound of water more and feel more comfortable, and get used to it slowly.

There are many causes of tinnitus, and all organs, parts, and meridians can cause tinnitus. Tinnitus can appear as a concomitant symptom of the disease, or it can occur alone, and it is more difficult to find out the specific **. Some mild tinnitus does not need medication, and can be relieved by tinnitus health exercises, etc., and some tinnitus can have more serious accompanying symptoms, such as deafness, vertigo, etc., according to the specific situation of the patient, further examination can be carried out to clarify the cause of tinnitus**, and then medication**.

Long-term work pressure and staying up late can lead to tinnitus.

There are many causes of tinnitus, which are generally divided into two categories:

First, the problem of the ear itself, the problem of the ear itself is divided into different conditions due to different parts, such as the external auditory canal, inflammation of the external auditory canal, tumors, foreign bodies and even earwax can cause tinnitus. The second is tinnitus in the middle ear, which is generally caused by inflammation or tumors in the middle ear. Then there is tinnitus in the inner ear, which is usually caused by damage to the cochlear hair cells, and this tinnitus is accompanied by neuropathic hearing loss.

Second, the cause outside the ear, the cause outside the ear is also the whole body cause, and there are many causes of tinnitus caused by these factors. Lack of sleep or wrong sleep rhythm, such as staying up late for a long time or poor sleep quality may cause tinnitus. Secondly, emotional problems and stress problems can also cause tinnitus, and there are many other systemic diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, anemia, gastroesophageal reflux, migraine and many other systemic problems may cause tinnitus.
