What is tinnitus?

Table of Contents

Tinnitus is not observed if the correct functioning of the organs of the body, the functioning of the organs within itself and the movement of the organs in coordination. On the contrary, if there is a situation that keeps organs under pressure and negatively affects the functioning of the body, the brain sends a warning to the ear through ringing. Depending on the source of the disease, an sound signal occurs. Regardless of the type of signal, tinnitus is a distress call to the body. The signal continues to be generated unless the source causing the tinnitus is improved. When this signal is not cured or treated within 8 weeks, the brain can accept it as a command and maintain the signal.

Patients with tinnitus should first consult their ENT physician to determine if the tinnitus is ear-related. Because the reasons for tinnitus are different.

For example:
Some diseases that do not originate from the ear and cause tinnitus:
Tumor, high blood pressure, allergy, diabetes, neck hernia, excessive tension in the neck muscles, antibiotics, painkillers, goiter etc.

Reasons of tinnitus from the ear:
Middle ear fluids, calcification of the middle ear, perforated tympanic membrane and earwax can be listed as nerve endings in the inner ear, and wear of the hearing nerves in the elderly.

Things to pay attention:
Avoiding high noise, ensuring regular blood pressure, reducing the amount of salt, avoiding coffee, cola and cigarettes. If you have tinnitus, please consult a specialist immediately.

Is there medicine for tinnitus?
Tinnitus is not a disease but a symptom, so it cannot be cured. When the causes are treated, tinnitus disappears automatically. For example, sometimes the ear wax or dirt in the outer ear can cause tinnitus. When the ear canal is cleaned, the tinnitus problem is eliminated. When stress, which is seen as a common source of tinnitus, resolves, tinnitus disappears.
The physician will give you the necessary information in detail.
