Have you ever heard some weird, swishing or ringing sounds in the ear? And, are you just the only one who could hear it? That's probably Tinnitus.
Tinnitus is the term used for the noise or sound that seems to emanate from the ear or even the head. These weird, and oftentimes irritating, sounds or noises that you hear may specifically originate from any of the following area: the inner ear, middle ear and the outer ear. Or, it may also be caused by some brain abnormalities. This ear condition is usually considered as a nuisance that can be resolved immediately and not as a serious problem. Sometimes, however, tinnitus is not just a single disease but rather an indication of an underlying illness like diabetes and thyroid problem.
There are actually head or body noises that are normal but you can't hear them because external noises masks these noises. But once you enter a sound proof booth, you would be aware of these normal sounds. You also become more aware of these noises or sounds once wax or other foreign bodies accumulate in the external ear. This is possible since these particles blocks the outside sounds. Aside from these, tinnitus could also be a product of other factors like stress, over intake of aspirin and caffeine and even pregnancy.
If you are one of those people experiencing these disturbing sounds and is asking how to cure tinnitus, please read ahead.
Majority of tinnitus cases do not need serious medical attention since it goes away by itself. There are some people though who are diagnosed of having a permanent tinnitus. Hence, it's something that they have to live with. Given the case, doctors recommend Niacin, a part of human diet that is vital in some of the body's chemical reaction. This substance's effect on tinnitus though is not clear as there are no scientific evidences that articulate its ability to combat tinnitus.
After being diagnosed of tinnitus, physicians also give recommendations on how this ear condition can be relieved. Once you had acquired this condition, they say it is important to keep in mind how sensitive and delicate the hearing system is. It is connected to the nervous system so it could affect a person's overall health. To lessen the effects of tinnitus, it is essential that the patient avoid exposure to explosive or very loud outside sounds like high-intensity music. Also, he or she should control blood pressure though medications and lessen the intake of salty food and aspirin products.
Coffee, nicotine and other nerve stimulants should also be avoided. Furthermore, since stress is said to be one of the factors that worsen tinnitus, calming and relaxing exercises like meditation and yoga are advisable. And just like any other illness or health condition, adequate rest should be also be observed by tinnitus sufferers.
There is no definite treatment method for tinnitus except when it is a by-product of an underlying disease. Its treatment depends on its cause so better consult your doctor first.
