Causes of tinnitus

Tinnitus is sometimes persistent, sometimes intermittent. When it is light, it is not easy to attract people’s attention. When it is serious, it will make people uneasy. Next, Jinghao listening will introduce several common causes of tinnitus:

1. Neck disease

Neck swelling and pain or other neck diseases may cause tinnitus on the compressed side when the carotid artery is compressed. This kind of tinnitus is characterized by persistence, low tone, and tinnitus degree can change with the change of posture.

2. Poisoning symptoms

Commonly used antibiotics, such as gentamicin, streptomycin, kanamycin, etc., have toxic effects on the auditory nerve and vestibular nerve. Tinnitus may appear in the early stage, which is often high pitched and bilateral. If the drug is not stopped in time, it can rapidly develop into deafness, and it is difficult to reverse.

3. Ear diseases

Conductive tinnitus can occur when there are foreign bodies in the ear, inflammation and swelling, eardrum congestion, inner ring, perforation, middle ear effusion or infection, otosclerosis and other diseases. This kind of tinnitus is characterized by unilateral, that is, tinnitus occurs on one side of the lesion, and its tone is low and rhythmic, such as “rumble”, “rumble”.

4. Neurasthenia

Tinnitus is also related to social environment and psychological factors. When people’s mood is melancholy, anxious uneasy, also can appear tinnitus. People with neurasthenia often have tinnitus. The tinnitus tone is variable, mostly bilateral, accompanied by headache, dizziness, insomnia, dreaminess and other symptoms.

In addition, when the body is weak, tinnitus is caused by insufficient vascular tension and poor local blood supply. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is the manifestation of kidney deficiency.

5. Noise damage

Short term strong noise or long-term repetitive noise (such as professional noise, rock music and disco music). High volume stereo earphones can cause hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo. In severe cases, auditory hallucination and neurasthenia may also occur.

Jinghao hearing aids remind: if only one side of tinnitus occurs, its lesions are mostly in the voice organ. If bilateral tinnitus has no other symptoms, it should be considered as early signs of some diseases, such as early arteriosclerosis, early manifestations of senile deafness, etc. Transient tinnitus often indicates slight lesions, which are intermittent or fluctuating tinnitus with varying intensity, accompanied by vertigo, nausea and other symptoms. Therefore, when tinnitus occurs, we should find out the cause in time to control the development of the disease.
