What is tinnitus

First of all, tinnitus is the result of different pathological changes of many diseases involving the auditory system. The etiology is complex and the mechanism is unclear. The main manifestation is that there is no corresponding external sound source or electrical stimulation, but subjectively there is sound sensation in the ear or intracranial. Clinically, it is not only the concomitant symptom of many diseases, but also the first symptom of some serious diseases (such as acoustic neuroma).

Secondly, tinnitus is a diverse phenomenon. Some patients have tinnitus on one side, and some patients have tinnitus on both sides. Some of them are persistent, and some of them are intermittent. The sound can be various, with different tones. Some patients with tinnitus have hearing loss, some have normal hearing, but tinnitus will not cause or aggravate hearing loss.

Finally, long-term tinnitus can cause patients to have irritability, anxiety, tension, fear or depression, and bad emotional state can aggravate tinnitus, resulting in a vicious circle between tinnitus and bad emotions. Psychological factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of tinnitus.
