You Don’t Have To Live With The Ringing In Your Ears
“The constant ringing in my ears is driving me out of my mind!”
If you’re experiencing the debilitating neurological condition known as tinnitus 24/7, then you’ll be glad to know that there are solutions.
Tinnitus affects about 75% of Americans in some form. In the majority of cases, the symptoms are temporary, occurring after being in a noisy stadium, a loud concert, a night in the club, or near an explosive event.
Those with chronic, ongoing tinnitus symptoms find it difficult to concentrate while working or studying, struggle to relax, or find it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Chronic tinnitus does not cause you to lose your hearing but is often associated with damage to your hearing that leads to hearing loss.
Dr. Sally at Hear in Texas understands your struggle with tinnitus and is eager to provide answers about tinnitus as well as ongoing relief through management of the condition by a tinnitus expert.
What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is a medical condition that causes the perception of sounds that are not actually present in your surrounding environment or a “phantom” perception that is generated somewhere along the auditory pathway. Tinnitus can present as a ringing in their head or ears while others experience buzzing, humming, crickets, or similar sounds.
The exact cause of tinnitus is not known, but many researchers recognize the condition as a neurological disease that is similar to “phantom limb” experienced by amputees.
Conditions that often coincide with tinnitus include damage to the inner ear (usually associated with hearing loss), a middle ear infection or buildup of fluid in the middle ear, Meniere’s Disease, and earwax buildup. Tinnitus can be linked to various ototoxic medications, high blood pressure, hyper/hypothyroidism, diabetes, and acoustic neuromas as well.
