What is ear tinnitus?
By Hen Priyanto
Posted: June 30, 2011
Have you ever felt like you hear some noises while you were doing your activities and you feel annoyed by that sound? In the medical dictionary, you can find that condition as the ear tinnitus. Tinnitus is a ringing, swishing, or other type of noise that seems to originate in the ear or sometimes in the head. So, we can say that the ear tinnitus is the same kind of condition but only when the noise is specifically originated in the ear. Most of the cases show that only the patient can hear the noise.
But it exists for real, it is not imagined. In fact, there are various reasons why you can feel the ear tinnitus. For example if you simply go swimming and feel the water flows into your ear but you have no idea to let it out so the fluid is trapped in, or if you have any infection and you feel like you have a higher body temperature and start feeling a buzz in your ear, or in the worse case is if you have a disease in your middle ear bones or tympanic membrane so you can feel the pressure in it, the painful one.
It could be anything. But surprisingly, what causes ear tinnitus the most today is the loud noise exposure. As we see that most of people grow with the newest technology, we often find them walking in the park, driving in the highway, doing the tasks, or even going to sleep at night with the earphone hang up in their ears. To us, it looks modern yet sophisticated. And they feel great at the same time for listening to the good music with a high volume and intensity. But, what they do not realize is that the habit can damage their hearing as well in silence.
How awful is that? And besides those things, stress and fatigue, some medications (such as: Aspirin) and other diseases of the inner ear can also cause the ear tinnitus.
As a conclusion, the ear tinnitus is not always the sign of a serious problem, but it is better if you can take it as a warning signal. Because in some cases, it can represent a symptom of many serious health conditions as brain aneurysm or brain tumor.
If you feel the tinnitus is troubling you, quickly go and see your doctor to know more about it. They will check your medical history, do the physical examination and do some series of special tests that can help them to determine where the tinnitus is originating. By doing that, the doctor will find out if the tinnitus is constant, intermittent, pulsating (synchronous with the heart beat), or is it associated with hearing loss or loss of balance.
One hundred percent of patients with the unexplained tinnitus will need a hearing test (audiogram), which the patterns of hearing loss will lead the doctor to the diagnosis. For further examination in some more urgent cases, the Auditory Brain System Response (ABR), a computerized test of the hearing nerves and brain pathways, a Computer Tomography Scan (CT scan) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be needed to know if there is any tumor on the hearing or balance nerve that also can cause ear tinnitus.

Treatment for Tinnitus
If you have Tinnitus, or ringing of the ears, then you certainly want relief and you want it fast. The treatment options for Tinnitus vary significantly depending upon the cause of your problem. Some cases of Tinnitus may be treated successfully while others result in a disability the patient must learn to live with. The most important aspect of treating Tinnitus is determining that the ringing in the ears is not related to a treatable illness but rather resulting due to damage to the ear.
Treatment options that are prescribed for individuals who cannot deal with the constant ringing in their ears include the following.
Antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs are frequently used to treat Tinnitus. Maskers that make white noise, which in turn masks the ringing, have also been used successfully. If you are only bothered by your Tinnitus at night then a fan might be enough to distract you from the noise. You may also play your favorite CD or radio station at a low volume for the same effect.
Some Tinnitus sufferers have found relief from relaxation techniques as well. Biofeedback is yet another treatment method that offers some sufferers relief. The reason these relaxation techniques work well for Tinnitus sufferers is that stress often makes the ailment worse. So, those who suffer from Tinnitus should focus on staying relaxed and stress free to keep their symptoms under control.
Tinnitus sufferers should also keep in mind that caffeine may make their symptoms worse. This means switching out caffeinated colas, teas, and coffees for the decaffeinated versions. Things like chocolate and even some cold medicines have caffeine in them as well and should be limited to keep Tinnitus symptoms under control. Nicotine should be avoided as well, which includes cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco products.
One of the most important things you can do if you suffer from Tinnitus is to protect your hearing at all costs. The reason why is that as you lose your hearing your Tinnitus symptoms will worsen. So, if you work in a loud environment, shoot guns, or are exposed to any other loud activity make sure you wear proper hearing protection.
Avoid salt, maintain a good blood pressure, get plenty of sleep, and don't allow yourself to become anxious. The more anxious you become over your Tinnitus the more difficult it will be to live with. Exercising on a regular basis and avoiding aspirin products are also recommended for Tinnitus sufferers.
Many Tinnitus sufferers have said the best treatment is no treatment at all. They claim that simply ignoring the ringing in the ears is enough to allow it to fade away. Not focusing on it allows sufferers of Tinnitus to move on and enjoy their lives without constantly focusing on the ringing in their ears.
Most people will find their Tinnitus is not curable, although it may be treatable with one or more of the above suggestions. A very small percentage of people will actually have a medical problem that causes the Tinnitus like a tumor. However, most people with Tinnitus simply learn to live with it and find a treatment option that helps them deal with the ringing in their ears.
