Can sudden tinnitus heal on its own?

Sudden tinnitus often occurs in middle-aged people. It is an acute and serious disease, often caused by infection or trauma. Generally, sudden tinnitus has a certain self-healing rate, which means that through good conditioning, it will gradually recover. However, as a patient, it is necessary to strengthen good treatment to avoid hearing loss due to sudden tinnitus.

Disease Introduction: Sudden tinnitus occurs suddenly and there is no warning sign. Tinnitus occurs in an instant, or reaches its peak within 48 hours. Sudden tinnitus often occurs in middle-aged people, with varying degrees, and often occurs simultaneously with deafness. Tinnitus may weaken or disappear as hearing recovers. Sometimes the tinnitus disappears first and then the hearing recovers or the tinnitus continues until the hearing recovers. The tinnitus is severe and can sometimes wake people up when they are sleeping.

Sudden deafness (hereinafter referred to as sudden deafness) is a sudden sensorineural deafness of unknown cause, also known as sudden deafness. There was no significant difference in the incidence rate between genders or left and right sides. The incidence rate increases with age, and 3/4 of patients are 40 years old or above when they become ill. The disease develops rapidly and progresses quickly. The treatment effect is directly related to the time of consultation. It should be regarded as an ear emergency. The best time to consult is within one week. The effect will be poor after ten days.

Disease treatment

Although sudden tinnitus has a certain self-healing rate, one should not wait passively and must be treated as an ear emergency and hospitalized for treatment. After hospitalization, a comprehensive hearing examination, oto-neurological examination and related internal medicine examinations should be performed. Sudden tinnitus emphasizes early treatment. If the course of the disease exceeds 2 weeks, the treatment effect is poor. It is more effective to choose a targeted and strong treatment based on the cause of the disease as clearly as possible.

1. Western medicine treatment:

The therapy usually uses a combination of intravenous administration and intramuscular injection. Vasodilators can also be added to glucose solution for intravenous drip, while vitamin B1 and B2 can be injected intramuscularly. Or it can be combined with Chinese medicine injections, such as ligustrazine, compound danshen injection, angelica injection, etc., for drip infusion.

2. Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sudden deafness is mostly caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. The ear meridians are blocked by blood stasis, and the clear yang qi cannot reach the ear orifices, causing the normal physiological function of the ear to decline, resulting in symptoms such as tinnitus and deafness. I don't care about sudden tinnitus, thinking that I am not hurt or have any disease. It just happens suddenly and will get better slowly on its own. This is a very wrong understanding. Find out the cause and choose the right treatment method. Sudden tinnitus is one of the acute and severe diseases in otolaryngology. The cause is complex and there is currently no recognized specific drug. However, many cases of sudden tinnitus can be cured. Active treatment is important, and the earlier the treatment, the better. If treatment is started within one week of onset, more than 8% of patients can be cured or partially recovered; if the course of the disease exceeds 7 days, the treatment effect is poor. Even if the disease lasts for more than one month, treatment should not be abandoned because the lesion may still be in the process of recovery. Audiometry tests should also be performed regularly during the treatment of sudden tinnitus. Although sudden tinnitus has a certain self-healing rate, one should not wait passively and must be treated as an ear emergency and hospitalized for treatment. After hospitalization, a comprehensive hearing examination, oto-neurological examination and related internal medicine examinations should be performed. It is more effective to choose a highly targeted treatment based on the cause of the disease as clearly as possible. For patients with sudden tinnitus, if the hearing loss is not obvious and the symptoms are relatively mild, they can be treated at home after examination by a doctor and with the doctor's consent. If the symptoms are significant, the deafness is severe, or even accompanied by vertigo, they need to be hospitalized as soon as possible.
