There are 5 diseases hidden behind tinnitus

1. Ear diseases

Conductive tinnitus can occur when there is foreign matter in the ear, blockage caused by inflammation and swelling, congestion of the eardrum, internal ringing, perforation, fluid accumulation or infection in the middle ear, or otosclerosis. This type of tinnitus is characterized by unilaterality, that is, the tinnitus occurs on the side of the lesion, and the pitch is low and rhythmic, such as "rumbling" or "booming".

2. Neurasthenia

Tinnitus is also clearly related to social environment and psychological factors. Tinnitus may also occur when a person is depressed or anxious.

People with neurasthenia often experience tinnitus, which has an irregular pitch and is mostly bilateral, accompanied by symptoms such as headache, dizziness, insomnia, and nightmares. In addition, when the body is weak, tinnitus may be caused by insufficient vascular tension and poor local blood supply. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is a manifestation of kidney deficiency.

3. Neck diseases

Neck swelling and pain or other neck diseases that compress the carotid artery may cause tinnitus on the compressed side. This type of tinnitus is characterized by persistence and low pitch, and the degree of tinnitus may vary with changes in body position.

4. Symptoms of poisoning

Commonly used antibiotics such as gentamicin, streptomycin, kanamycin, etc. are toxic to the auditory nerve and vestibular nerve. Tinnitus may occur in the early stage, which is often high-pitched and bilateral. If the medication is not stopped in time, it may rapidly develop into deafness and be difficult to reverse.
