Buzzing in the ears is a characteristic of low-pitched tinnitus, which may be related to cerumen embolism, secretory otitis media, sudden low-frequency deafness and other diseases, and general treatment, medication and surgical treatment need to be selected according to the cause and extent of the disease.
1. Cerumen impaction: When the cerumen glands in the external ear canal secrete excessively and the self-cleaning mechanism of the ear canal is impaired, the cerumen in the ear canal accumulates and forms an embolism, i.e., it forms a closed cavity outside the tympanic membrane, resulting in buzzing-like tinnitus. Cerumen can be removed by a specialist with the help of professional instruments, or flushed out with saline after sodium bicarbonate ear drops have sufficiently softened the cerumen.
2. Secretory otitis media: Commonly caused by infection, allergy and abnormal function of the Eustachian tube, negative pressure in the middle ear and accumulation of fluid in the middle ear, which can be perceived as a buzzing sound in the ear. If there is bacterial infection can be treated with antibiotics such as amoxicillin to fight infection, can be treated with glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone for a short period of time, and reasonable nasal spray hydroxymetazoline spray.
Under the premise of nasal and nasopharyngeal cleanliness, it is feasible to treat the pharyngeal tube blowing. If the effect of conservative treatment is unsatisfactory, the feasibility of tympanic membrane puncture fluid extraction, tympanotomy and other surgical treatment.
3. Sudden low-frequency deafness: the cause is unknown, suddenly occurring low-frequency sensorineural deafness. Most of the symptoms of the affected ear buzzing. Consider the inner ear edema, treatment is generally systemic application, or tympanic chamber and post-auricular injection of glucocorticoids, such as methylprednisolone sodium succinate.
Feeling a buzzing sound in the ear, need to actively seek medical systematic examination, after a clear diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions standardized diagnosis and treatment.
