What is the cause of the thumping of the eardrum?

In people's daily lives, many people experience a buzzing sound in their eardrums. This condition is generally caused by ear diseases, such as vascular tinnitus. When this happens, it has a significant impact on people's daily lives. In the face of this situation, people need to understand the cause in detail and prescribe the right medicine to treat it. Here we will introduce what is the cause of the eardrum thumping?

The buzzing sound in the ears is like the heartbeat, which is clinically classified as tinnitus, called vascular tinnitus, which is a type of tinnitus related to the beating and fluctuation of blood vessels. They are all caused by fluctuations in some blood vessels around the middle ear, which amplify and conduct abnormal sounds and cause tinnitus. The rhythm of tinnitus is intermittent, consistent with the heartbeat. It can be arterial or venous. Common ones include arteriovenous fistula malformations, high bulbus venosus, and dilatation of the internal jugular vein, which cause accelerated blood flow conduction and some vascular tinnitus caused by exaggeration.

Based on the symptoms described, it is considered to be vascular tinnitus, also known as pulsatile tinnitus. It is mostly caused by vascular abnormalities, such as high blood pressure, vascular malformations, arteriosclerosis, anemia, hyperthyroidism, etc., which cause the sound in the auditory canal to be consistent with the heart beat. First of all, relevant examinations should be completed, such as brain magnetic resonance imaging, to find abnormal blood vessels, such as carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound and blood pressure measurement. Treatment can use anti-sedatives and antidepressants to reduce the patient's mental stress. You can also try masking therapy and wear a special tinnitus masker. If drug treatment is ineffective and seriously affects the patient's life, surgical treatment can be used. Some people with tinnitus can also use physical therapies such as acupuncture.

The daily care of dizziness and tinnitus mainly includes the following points

Drugs that are harmful to the visual and auditory nerves should be used with caution or prohibited. Antibiotics are the ototoxic drugs that cause the most cochlear damage. Therefore, avoiding the abuse of antibiotics is an important measure to reduce physical hearing loss. Those with a family history of allergies to ototoxic drugs should use such drugs with caution.

In addition, you should avoid prolonged exposure to high-decibel noise. Long-term exposure to high-decibel noise will damage the auditory hair cells and the inner ear, thus causing noise-induced deafness. Factory noise can cause occupational noise-induced deafness. Try not to go to noisy entertainment venues such as karaoke. In addition, avoid listening to headphones for a long time, otherwise it will cause hearing loss.

Actively treat diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cerebral arteriosclerosis and diabetes. These diseases can cause dizziness, deafness, etc. In daily life, patients should maintain a good mental state and avoid being emotionally agitated or angry.
