How is tinnitus ear stuffy to return a responsibility?
summary
In daily life, many people often feel the panic of ear blockage. It seems that there is something in the ear. It's stuffy. It's hard to hear clearly. It's like speaking in the ear. It's very uncomfortable, and many people will have tinnitus, hearing loss and other phenomena. So, some patients have raised the question: what's the matter with tinnitus and stuffy ears?, Today I'd like to share this with you.
How is tinnitus ear stuffy to return a responsibility?
First: external ear: Generally speaking, diseases that can cause blockage of the external auditory canal can produce ear tightness, such as cerumen blockage, especially when cerumen completely blocks the external auditory canal; External auditory canal furuncle, when the furuncle is bigger, the external auditory canal can be blocked; Children like to put rubber, mung beans and plastic beads into the external auditory canal when they play, while adults often have insects flying into the external auditory canal in summer; Finally, there are some tumors of the external auditory canal, such as papilloma of the external auditory canal.
Second: middle ear: leading to ear tightness is mainly caused by Eustachian tube lesions. The tympanic chamber of the middle ear is like a small cube box. On the side of the external auditory canal is the tympanic membrane. Only when the pressure inside the tympanic cavity is equal to the atmospheric pressure outside, that is, the pressure inside and outside the tympanic membrane is equal, can the sound be best transmitted to the inner ear for people to hear. In order to do this, the ear and nose are connected by a tube called eustachian tube, which usually opens when swallowing or yawning. When air enters the ear from the nose, the pressure in the tympanic chamber is maintained at an atmospheric pressure. If you encounter a cold and other conditions, the mucous membrane at the nasal side of the eustachian tube is swollen, and the tube can not be opened, the tympanic chamber will become a closed cavity. After a long time, the air inside will be absorbed by the mucous membrane, and the tympanic chamber will become negative pressure, which will lead to ear tightness. The common causes of eustachian tube dysfunction are: acute rhinitis is common cold, at this time the nasal mucosa congestion swelling caused by Eustachian tube pharyngeal stenosis; Chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps and severe deviation of nasal septum can also cause pharyngeal stenosis and blockage of eustachian tube; Adenoid hypertrophy, adenoid is located in the nasopharynx of the lymphoid tissue, childhood adenoids are often larger, with the increase of age, adenoids gradually shrink, sometimes excessive adenoid hypertrophy can block the pharyngeal tympanic orifice; Congenital cleft palate, cleft palate due to levator veli PALATI muscle, tensor veli PALATI muscle dysfunction lead to eustachian tube pharyngeal opening disorder; Nasopharyngeal tumor, nasopharyngeal benign tumor is mainly nasopharyngeal fibroangioma, malignant tumor is mainly nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Third: inner ear: inner ear diseases are not uncommon, mainly caused by membranous labyrinth lesions. The main inner ear lesion causing ear tightness is Meniere's disease. Patients with ear tightness, tinnitus, paroxysmal vertigo and fluctuating hearing loss are its main characteristics.
matters needing attention
1. Avoid foreign bodies entering the external auditory canal. Avoid water rushing into the ear when taking a bath. Check the external auditory canal for cerumen blockage and tumor growth at regular intervals. 2. When the eustachian tube is abnormal and the ear is stuffy, you can squeeze the two nasal wings tightly and inflate the air gently to promote the opening of the eustachian tube, but you should pay attention to: (1) do not use too much force to avoid perforation of the tympanic membrane（ 2) Blow your nose before blowing. 3. When taking off and landing, the air pressure changes, so you should chew gum or candy, open your mouth, etc. when taking off and landing, to promote the opening of eustachian tube, so as to avoid ear tightness when taking off and landing. 4. Those with nasal obstruction should go to the hospital to check whether they have rhinitis, nasal polyps and nasopharyngeal tumors, so that they can be treated in time. Sometimes, although there is no nasal obstruction, the unilateral ear is stuffy for a long time. In addition, if there is blood in the aspirated nose, especially when there is a mass in the neck, they should go to the hospital to check quickly to exclude nasopharyngeal carcinoma. 5. Patients with ear tightness and vertigo may be caused by Meniere's disease and should be treated in hospital.
