Tinnitus is a common symptom, but there are many causes of tinnitus, and the harm of tinnitus cannot be ignored.
First of all, there can be many causes of tinnitus. A common cause is ear diseases such as otitis externa, otitis media, inner otitis, etc. These disorders can directly affect the auditory nerve, which can lead to tinnitus. In addition, some systemic diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, etc., may also cause tinnitus. In addition, the use of some medications, such as aspirin, diuretics, etc., may also cause tinnitus. In addition to diseases and medications, tinnitus can also be related to noise. Prolonged exposure to noise can cause damage to the auditory nerve, which can cause tinnitus. The dangers of tinnitus should not be overlooked. On the one hand, tinnitus may affect hearing, leading to hearing loss. On the other hand, tinnitus may also affect mood and sleep, leading to problems such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Therefore, we should actively prevent and ** tinnitus to avoid its impact on our physical and mental health.
Long-term incurable tinnitus will lead to the occurrence of deafness, which is a problem that many patients are very concerned about. That's because sound is conducted through the auricular nerve, so once the auditory nerve is damaged, paralyzed, necrotic, and inevitably loses hearing, resulting in deafness, the final result of the lesion is because the auditory nerve is damaged to varying degrees, and the function is reduced or lost, which can cause tinnitus and deafness. The causes of tinnitus are mainly ear diseases, such as external ear diseases, otitis externa, cerumen embolism, foreign bodies in the outer ear, acute and chronic inflammation of the middle ear, perforation of the eardrum, etc. There is also cervical spondylosis, high blood pressure, kidney weakness, liver fire, staying up late and overwork, noise. There are many cases of tinnitus and deafness, and the final result is caused by damage to the eighth pair of cranial nerves in the brain.
Most patients with tinnitus have different degrees of auditory system lesions, and all have different degrees of hearing impairment after hearing examination. Ototoxic antibiotics, if used incorrectly, can poison the inner ear, causing tinnitus and deafness in some people, and if the drug is stopped early**, it can reduce or avoid deafness. Tinnitus caused by various ear diseases such as otosclerosis, acoustic neuroma, and Meniere's disease can eventually lead to deafness if left unchecked**.
If you are also bothered by tinnitus, please seek medical attention in time to find out** so that you can get it as soon as possible**. If you are a healthy person, please also pay attention to noise and protect your hearing.
