matters needing attention

Tinnitus caused by various ear diseases, such as otosclerosis, acoustic neuroma and Meniere's disease, may lead to deafness if it is allowed to develop and not treated in time. However, not all tinnitus causes deafness. If tinnitus is pulsating and synchronized with one's own pulse, one should be alert whether one has glomus jugulare tumor. At this time, tinnitus may disappear only when the tumor is removed surgically. If tinnitus accompanied by nerve deafness, or facial paralysis, it may be acoustic neuroma. In the early stage of acoustic neuroma (generally less than 1 cm), there is no need for craniotomy. Gamma knife treatment can be accepted, but it should not be careless, otherwise it may threaten the life of the patient. For example, hypertension and blood or yin deficiency in TCM may only cause tinnitus and normal hearing. When these systemic diseases are improved, tinnitus will disappear naturally.
