How to treat tinnitus caused by cervical spondylosis and methods to treat tinnitus

Tinnitus can have a great impact on people's daily lives and can make people feel irritable and restless. Being restless can cause great harm to people's sleep and physical health. There are many causes of tinnitus, including cervical spondylosis. So how should tinnitus caused by cervical spondylosis be treated?

1: Clinically, many tinnitus patients often have cervical spine diseases of varying degrees, accompanied by cerebrovascular and neurological symptoms such as dizziness, vascular headache, and vision changes.

2: This is because the ears are supplied with blood by a branch of the vertebral artery on both sides of the cervical spine. When there is a problem with the cervical spine, such as scoliosis, the vertebral artery will be affected, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the blood vessel branches distributed to the ears, which in turn causes tinnitus. Generally, after a period of treatment, tinnitus can be basically improved. If the cervical spine is not treated, tinnitus may develop into irreversible deafness.

3: Therefore, it is important for the elderly to protect their cervical spine. It is best for patients with cervical spondylosis to sleep on their backs. Do not put your head on the pillow when sleeping, but put your neck on the pillow. This can reduce the stress on the cervical spine. In addition, the elderly should not maintain a posture for a long time. When your cervical spine is uncomfortable, you can use a bottle of warm water to pad your neck. This can act as a hot compress and traction, which is very helpful in improving cervical spine symptoms.

1: Clinically, there are many patients suffering from tinnitus caused by cervical spondylosis. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can select acupoints such as Ermen, Tinggong, Tinghui, etc., and improve your symptoms through a period of acupuncture treatment. You should also pay attention to the rhythm of your life and work, combine work and rest, insist on physical exercise, arrange your time reasonably, avoid overwork, and ensure a quiet environment when sleeping.

2: If you have tinnitus and signs of hearing loss, such as always feeling that you can't hear clearly, or unconsciously raising your voice when talking to people, you should seek medical treatment immediately. People with tinnitus and poor hearing should eat less greasy food, especially foods containing more animal fat, such as fatty meat and animal offal; they can eat more iron-rich foods, such as pork liver, egg yolks, seaweed, fungus, leeks, etc.

3: In addition, you can also massage your ears regularly to improve tinnitus symptoms. For example, you can massage the auricle and pinch the earlobe, or you can massage the "Fengchi" acupoints in the depressions on both sides of the hairline at the back of the neck. At the same time, be careful not to pick your ears for no reason. When cleaning your ears, you should be gentle. If you use improper force, it can easily cause damage to the external auditory canal or infection. If you are not careful, the ear pick may damage the eardrum, causing problems such as eardrum perforation, and affecting hearing.

Through proper diet conditioning, you can also achieve good preventive effects. In normal times, you should reduce your fat intake and eat less food that is too sweet, too salty, contains too much cholesterol, and too little fiber, because these foods can lead to high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, and diabetes, promote vascular disease in the inner ear, and accelerate the progression of tinnitus and deafness in the elderly.
