Buzzing in the eardrum

Tinnitus is a very common phenomenon. For some people it happens occasionally, while for others it happens frequently. The buzzing of the eardrum cannot be ignored. It may be caused by a disease, but which diseases are related to tinnitus? The first is diseases of the ear itself, such as otitis externa, otitis media, etc.; the second is related to vascular diseases, such as heart problems; and there are also systemic diseases.

The main causes of tinnitus are as follows:

1. Ear diseases

External otitis, cerumen embolism, foreign bodies in the external ear, acute (chronic) inflammation of the middle ear, tympanic membrane perforation, otosclerosis, and Meniere's syndrome and acoustic neuroma in the inner ear can all cause tinnitus.

2. Vascular diseases

Tinnitus can also occur due to vascular diseases, such as glomus jugularis tumor, dilation of small blood vessels in the ear, vascular malformations, hemangiomas, etc. Tinnitus from veins is mostly noisy, while tinnitus from arteries is consistent with the pulsation of the pulse.

3. Systemic diseases

Some systemic diseases can also cause tinnitus: autonomic nervous system disorder, lack of blood supply to the brain, pre-stroke, hypertension, hypotension, anemia, diabetes, and malnutrition.

4. Side effects of medication

Excessive use of ototoxic drugs such as gentamicin, streptomycin or kanamycin can also cause tinnitus and hearing loss, and tinnitus appears earlier than hearing loss.

5. Lifestyle factors

Excessive fatigue, lack of sleep and excessive emotional stress can also cause tinnitus.

Tinnitus, dizziness, etc. may be precursors to disease. Many diseases can induce tinnitus, such as otitis media, tympanic membrane perforation, deafness, etc. There are also some systemic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc. These diseases can induce tinnitus, so tinnitus is not as simple as those. When patients have tinnitus symptoms for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible to find out the real cause of the disease.

How to protect your ears

Wear headphones and pay attention to time

There is a very common phenomenon nowadays, especially among the younger generation. No matter they are walking, waiting for a bus, riding a bus, or eating, they all hold their mobile phones in their hands and have earphones in their ears. Some people even do not forget to listen to music with earphones while working, and it seems like they are wearing earphones all day long.

Try to avoid picking your ears

If we often use headphones to listen to music or other things, our ears are more likely to produce more earwax, which may occasionally be accompanied by itching.

Summary: The above is about the situation of buzzing in the ears. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of it. In life, if you have tinnitus, it is best to use some methods to relieve it. This is very important. I hope everyone can pay attention to it.
