Two conditions of tinnitus
1, physiological tinnitus
Normal people also have tinnitus under special circumstances. For example, when we cover our ears with our hands, or when our ears touch our pillows, we may feel a buzzing sound. Once we let go and turn over, the tinnitus will disappear. This is medically called physiological tinnitus, which is a normal phenomenon.
2, sensorineural tinnitus
If tinnitus persists in general living environment and even affects mood, work and study, then you must ask a specialist for necessary examination.
There are many reasons for sensorineural tinnitus, mainly the following five:
1, noise tinnitus
Sudden loud stimulation (cannon shock, firecrackers, close-range shouting, etc.). ) or long-term contact with noisy environment (decoration, machinery, walkman, special type of work, etc. ) can lead to hearing loss and tinnitus.
2, drug-induced tinnitus
Besides streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin and neomycin, there are some anticancer drugs, diuretics, antipyretic and analgesic drugs and anesthetics. Although it is impossible for everyone to remember so many medicines, if you have tinnitus, you can remind the doctor when you see a doctor and ask the doctor to pay attention when prescribing medicines.
3. Mental stress and fatigue
Due to mental stress caused by family conflicts and accidents, long-term physical fatigue (watching TV, playing mahjong and playing poker for a long time) can cause tinnitus or aggravate it.
4. Systemic diseases
Tinnitus can occur in hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, anemia, cervical spondylosis, nephropathy, allergic diseases and hypothyroidism.
5. Bad habits
A large number of cigarettes and alcohol can aggravate tinnitus, and smoking can reduce blood oxygen, thus causing inner ear ischemia and damaging auditory nerve endings to produce tinnitus.

Treatment of tinnitus:
For tinnitus with clear etiology and short course of disease, most of them can be cured by treatment. For patients with tinnitus for many years, mainly high-pitched cicadas, if their hearing and normal life are not affected, they can not be treated after checking whether there is a big problem. If tinnitus causes insomnia, irritability and anxiety, it can be treated systematically. Tinnitus treatment should be divided into two steps:
First of all, comprehensive treatment is carried out in the hospital.
Treatment methods include drugs, physical therapy, acupuncture, acupoint injection, massage and so on. Through comprehensive treatment, a small number of patients with tinnitus symptoms can be cured, and most patients may not be cured, but they will be relieved to varying degrees. Monotherapy is often unsatisfactory.
Second, after more than three months of systematic treatment, tinnitus symptoms have not improved, and adaptive exercises can be carried out:
1, divert attention
Avoid being alone in an overly quiet environment, pay attention to enriching your life and concentrate on doing things you like, such as practicing calligraphy, drawing, outing, cooking, doing housework and communicating with family and friends.
Step 2 relax training
Free yourself from family chores (marriage, children, family conflicts, etc.). ), you can invite some old friends to play Tai Ji Chuan, keep fit, do yoga, dance, go shopping, go for a walk in the park, or go to the "Passion Square where everyone sings".
3. Psychotherapy
It is suitable for patients with depression, anxiety, fear, nervousness, fatigue, paranoia and irritability. For a long time, it is necessary to carry out necessary psychological counseling and adjustment to clearly understand and adapt to tinnitus.
4. Masking therapy
Also known as masking therapy, low-intensity sweet sounds are used to mask tinnitus sounds, such as hearing AIDS, radios, televisions and MP3 players.
5. Actively treat systemic diseases.
Moreover, there is no scientific basis for the statement that "long-term deafness is inevitable", and patients with tinnitus do not have to "talk about tinnitus discoloration". The treatment of tinnitus in traditional Chinese medicine needs to be treated according to the patient's constitution. According to clinical observation, tinnitus belonging to kidney deficiency only accounts for a small part. It can be seen that unilateral "tonifying kidney" is incorrect.
