Tinnitus and dizziness in the elderly

After people reach middle age, their body organs will slowly age. Tinnitus is an inevitable physiological process for the elderly. As the human body ages, the functions of various organs begin to decline, making tinnitus and even dizziness more likely to occur. Tinnitus can easily make people feel uneasy, which not only affects their sleep and life, but also their physical health. So what should the elderly do if they suffer from tinnitus and dizziness? Let’s take a look below.

The harm of senile tinnitus

⒈ Traffic accidents are more likely to occur due to the inability to hear bells and horns.

⒉ Listening and speaking are closely related. Hearing impairment will inevitably cause language communication barriers and eventually lead to psychological barriers. From this perspective, if deafness is considered a disability, it is not a single disability, but a "multiple disability" in a sense.

⒊ Some elderly deaf people are depressed, anxious, disappointed and pessimistic; some even become suspicious, always worrying that others are plotting against them. If this continues for a long time, it is easy to cause a mental breakdown.

⒋ Because they cannot communicate normally, many elderly deaf people have changes in their personalities. They become stubborn, self-willed, and completely unable to tolerate different opinions. This causes endless quarrels at home, greatly affecting the physical and mental health of themselves and their families.

Symptoms of senile tinnitus

The cause of presbycusis is the natural decline of body organs due to aging. It’s just that some people experience tinnitus earlier than others. Some people experience tinnitus in their 50s, while others don’t experience tinnitus until they are in their 70s. If you want to delay tinnitus, you should start taking care of your ears when you are young. Don’t regret it when you are old and have ear problems.

Tinnitus is a common symptom among the elderly. In mild cases, it seems as if there are cicadas chirping in the distance in the ears. In severe cases, it sounds like a whistle or even a drum, buzzing day and night, making the elderly uneasy, affecting their sleep and life, and is bound to affect their physical health.

Self-treatment for tinnitus in the elderly

First, the breath-holding method. Sit quietly with your breath calm, clench your teeth, pinch your nostrils with two fingers, open your eyes wide, and let the air flow into your ears until you feel a rumbling sound. Do this several times a day for 2-3 days.

Secondly, the palm rubbing method. Sit down and rub your palms 50 times. While your palms are still warm, press your ears tightly. Do this 6 times for 2-3 days in a row. You need to be calm and peaceful during the treatment for it to be effective.

Finally, Selfa. Grind 0.5g of musk and 14 golden scorpions into fine powder and store in a bottle with a lid. When using, pick a fresh lotus leaf, rub it gently, wrap a small amount of medicine powder in it and plug it into the affected ear overnight. Take it out the next morning. It has a certain therapeutic effect.
