Difficult ringing in the ears, only you can hear squeaks, buzzing, constant hum. You know it? So the tinnitus got you too. However, do not break down! The disease can be treated.
Temporary ringing in the ears or buzzing should not worry us. The problem arises when the disturbing symptoms last longer, affecting our everyday life. Many people suffer from tinnitus problems. They make it difficult to sleep, affect our mental condition, are a burdensome obstacle at work, and in extreme cases lead to the destruction of relationships with people close to us. After diagnosing them, it is worth taking treatment, which with the development of medicine is becoming more and more effective. But let’s start from the beginning…
1. What are the most common causes of tinnitus?
Like almost every ailment (because – what is worth knowing – tinnitus is not classified as a disease), tinnitus has its causes. Before we start professional treatment, we can try to eliminate these causes. Find out more about tinnitus and how to treat it here.
STRESS
There is no denying that high, persistent stress has a huge impact on our physical and mental health. Uncomfortable life situations, traumas, problems at work or financial problems can be the origin of various types of ailments – including tinnitus. They usually affect us in the evening, making it impossible for us to fall asleep. In such cases, it is recommended to refrain from afternoon coffee or stimulant drinks and relax before going to bed. It is important to try to eliminate any disturbing thoughts in the evening.
NOISE
Many of us like to listen to music loudly through headphones or go to concerts and have fun in front of the stage. However, it is worth saving your ears, and although there are songs that you simply cannot not listen to at maximum volume, we should remember to give our eardrums a rest from time to time. The situation is different when our profession condemns us to being in intense and prolonged noise. Then we should focus on regenerating rest and try to suppress external sounds accompanying us at work. It is worth resting in silence or listening to softer music that will not jeopardize our auditory nerves.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISEASES
Tinnitus can also be a symptom of other diseases. Specialists have no doubt that one of the main causes of tinnitus can be atherosclerosiswhich “forces” the blood to flow through the blood vessels with double force. This causes noise – especially after intense exercise or a hard day. In addition to atherosclerosis, it is also mentioned overactive thyroid gland, causing more hormones to enter the blood, which increase the activity of blood vessels. As a result, the blood flowing around the temples seems to produce noises heard later in the ears. The third most common disease causing this ailment may be hypertension. It causes not only tinnitus, but also pulsation, which is described as really unpleasant.
2. How to treat tinnitus?
Of course, you can try to get rid of this ailment with home remedies or by eliminating stress or everyday noises. However, when the tinnitus becomes more and more insistent and does not lend itself to our methods, it is time to consult specialists. Sometimes it helps to treat a disease that simply accompanies tinnitus. However, it is not always so easy. When we lose hope for a normal life, we should go to professionals who professionally deal with ear ailments and hearing diseases. It turns out that there are various methods of getting rid of tinnitus, the most popular of which are therapies (e.g. CTM). It is worth remembering that you can find a way out of every situation.
