Have you ever heard a ringing in your ear but there were no external sounds to make you hear such a sound? Well, doctors call this condition tinnitus. Tinnitus is a medical condition that causes some sound in the ear when there is no outside source making the noise. The noises a person can experience are hissing, whistling, ringing, buzzing and more. For some the noise can be dealt with however for others the noise can be overwhelming and is difficult to cope with. Nonetheless, people want to know how to stop tinnitus.
In some cases, medications may cause tinnitus, infections in the ear or sinuses can also cause tinnitus. In more serious cases, a brain tumor or neck trauma can cause this condition. Though many people have experienced this at one time or another, it usually goes away. However, those who continuously hear these ringing sounds are because the microscopic hair cells in their inner ear are damaged.
A surprising fact is that about 12 million Americans suffer from tinnitus at some degree. Tinnitus is found more in men than women, usually over the age of 40. Tinnitus is categorized either vibratory or non-vibratory. However, a cure is not known for either of these types. It is advised to stay away from loud noises, caffeine, smoking, alcohol and keep a healthy weight to best prevent the condition from developing. How to stop tinnitus is to avoid the factors that cause the condition but sometimes it just is not possible.
Finding out what the underlying issue for your condition is the first step to knowing how to stop tinnitus. If the cause of your condition is due to loud noises, you can find ways that are available to mask the noise. Devices such as hearing aides can help by playing sounds that are more pleasurable in your ear other than the ringing in hopes you will be focusing on that noise instead.
In some cases, excessive earwax can be the cause of your tinnitus. In this situation, your doctor will clean out your ear by using a curette, a curved instrument or they will flush it out with a rubber bulb syringe that has warm water in it. If you have some itching, hydrocortisone may be prescribed.
In more serious conditions such as a brain tumor causing your condition, you may have to go through surgery. Similarly, if temporomandibular joint syndrome is your condition, then you will be referred to a dentist or orthodontist for some help with your condition.
Therapies such as cognitive therapy, biofeedback - a relaxation technique, dental treatment, tinnitus retraining therapy and herbal treatments are given to assist in treating the condition. If you are having trouble with tinnitus and you want support from others who want to know how to stop tinnitus also, you can join a support group or get some counseling. Your doctor will know the support groups available near you and you can listen to how others coping with it.
The best way how to stop tinnitus is to avoid certain factors that contribute to the problem altogether. However, if you are experiencing signs of tinnitus you may need some treatment so talking to your doctor as soon as possible is in your best interest. They can determine why you are experiencing this and they will then be able to know what treatment is best for you.
