What is Tinnitus?
When you hear buzzing, ringing, hissing, or similar noise that does not come from the external environment, it could mean you have tinnitus. For some, these sounds are persistent but for others, they come and go.
These phantom sounds are usually signs of underlying issues like hearing loss, head or ear injury, ear blockage, circulatory problems, or tumours. If you leave it untreated, it will disrupt your life, sleep, focus, and hearing.
What Causes Tinnitus?
Is your ear exposed to loud banging noises? If it is and your ears are ringing and whistling, it is because of overexposure to loud noises. Around 90% of people with tinnitus lose hearing because of loud noise exposure. It could be construction sites, concerts, or sporting events that are overbearingly loud and cause tinnitus.
Besides that, aging, some medications, head or neck injuries, or ear wax buildup in the ear causes tinnitus ringing which could go from mild to downright annoying and a threat to your hearing if you don’t manage it once it is diagnosed.
What signs to look out for?
Tinnitus hits everyone differently. Even though the symptoms are the same, the intensity of the ringing sensation varies from person to person. The main symptom is high or low-pitched ringing or other phantom sounds. They often keep you up at night, make communication difficult, and rob you of peace of mind.
Another sign of tinnitus is when you hear sounds with the head or neck movement or due to associated symptoms like anxiety, vertigo, sleep disturbances, or hearing loss.
Tinnitus Treatment Options
Tinnitus is incurable but you can live with it through tinnitus management practices.
- Medication
