There are many people who have experienced tinnitus in their life, but most people don't know the cause of tinnitus very well, so which situations may lead to tinnitus? What's a better way to help alleviate it?

Causes of tinnitus and its relief

First, tinnitus can be caused by sudden strong noise stimulation or long-term working in noisy environment, or even long-term answering the phone or listening to MP3. Infection, especially virus infection, can cause tinnitus, often accompanied by sensorineural hearing loss. Examples are mumps, measles, rubella, herpes zoster, chickenpox and mononucleosis. Excessive physical and mental pressure, mental tension, the accumulation of excessive pressure is an important reason for many people in today's society sudden deafness. Pressure, fatigue, etc. will make the body's immunity decline, endocrine disorders, local vascular congestion, etc., may cause local hypoxia and ischemia, if it appears in the ear, it will affect the ear tissue function, affect hearing. The tinnitus of cardiovascular disease is pulsatile, often synchronized with the heartbeat or pulse, and the intensity is often large, of which about 10% is hypertension. Patients with anemia also have pulsatile tinnitus due to increased cardiac output, sometimes persistent buzzing. Pulsatile objective tinnitus can be produced by abnormal blood vessels in the head and neck or skull base. Vascular murmurs can be heard in the head and neck, such as the temporal part, external auditory canal, neck, etc. Ear diseases, external auditory canal blockage, whether cerumen, foreign bodies, tumors, fungal diseases and inflammation and swelling, can lead to tinnitus. The internal sound transmitted from the bone conduction to the middle ear can not be dissipated through the external auditory canal. The degree of tinnitus was consistent with that of external auditory canal blockage. Only a few patients with otitis media have mild tinnitus. Tympanic negative pressure, ossicular chain adhesion or fixation can cause tinnitus. Hyperthyroidism, a metabolic disease, can cause pulsatile tinnitus due to increased cardiac output; hypothyroidism can also cause tinnitus due to increased extracellular fluid or increased endolymphatic pressure. The incidence of tinnitus caused by diabetes is very high. The incidence of tinnitus in patients with hyperlipidemia, vascular obstruction and sensorineural hearing loss is higher than that in normal people. Vitamin deficiency can also cause tinnitus.

The second method is to relieve tinnitus. In the ear twisting method, the thumb and index finger should be kneaded at the same time, and the two earrings and earlobes should be kneaded from top to bottom for 3 minutes to make the two ears warm. There are many acupoints and nerve reflex points on the ear wheel and earlobe. Gently kneading can stimulate these acupoint reflex points, which is conducive to the improvement of inner ear environment, the elimination of middle ear inflammation and the maintenance of inner ear nerve function.

Third: knead the ear root with the index finger in front and thumb in back. Knead the ear root for 3 minutes. This technique can effectively improve the blood circulation in the ear, especially for the high pitched tinnitus caused by inner ear ischemia. The two palms of mingtiangu rub each other to generate heat, then press them on the two ears, align the palms with the ear canal, and stick the four fingers behind the pillow. Press them slowly and release them three times. This is one time, five times in total. This technique is also through changing the pressure in the ear canal, giving a certain benign stimulation to the middle ear, which has a good therapeutic effect on low tone tinnitus. Knead Fengchi Fengchi point is located in the depression between sternocleidomastoid muscle and superior trapezius muscle on both sides of occipital bone at the back of neck. Massage with your thumb to feel sour and bloated, 1 minute each time, 3 times a day. Kneading Fengchi point can effectively increase the blood supply in the ear and has the best effect on nervous tinnitus. Press and knead the points around the ear with the thumbs of both hands. Press and knead the Tinggong and Yifeng points on both sides respectively. The best strength is to feel acid swelling. Pay attention to open your mouth when kneading, 1 minute for each acupoint. Tinggong acupoint is located in front of the tragus, with mouth open and concave. This point has the effect of dredging Qi and blood, opening the orifices and hearing the ears. It has a certain therapeutic effect on ear diseases, especially tinnitus caused by various reasons.

matters needing attention

Yifeng point is located at the middle point between the mastoid process of temporal bone and the mandibular angle behind the earlobe. This point has the effect of dredging collaterals, activating blood circulation, calming the nerves and unblocking the ear. It has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on ear diseases.
