Tinnitus refers to the sound of cicada, silk, buzz, roar, bell, whistle, etc. in one or both ears without the stimulation of external sound sources. Mild tinnitus has no great impact on daily life, while severe tinnitus not only reduces the quality of life, but also leads to serious psychological disorders. What harm can tinnitus produce 1. It causes infection in the ear and congestion, especially when a foreign body enters the ear, this symptom is especially obvious and the discomfort in the ear can be very serious. Conductive tinnitus can occur when a foreign body, inflammatory swelling in the ear, blockage, eardrum congestion, internal ringing, perforation, middle ear effusion or infection, otosclerosis, etc. occur. This kind of tinnitus is characterized by unilateral nature, that is, tinnitus occurs on one side of the lesion, and the tone is low and rhythmic. 2.
