Tinnitus is a subjective sensation of ringing in the ear without a corresponding external sound source or electrical stimulation, and is mostly caused by a disorder of the auditory nerve function. Long-term tinnitus may lead to hearing loss or even total deafness in patients, but it is not absolute. Some patients may experience some mental symptoms as a result of long-term tinnitus. If the tinnitus is very severe at night, it may also lead to insomnia, and then a series of symptoms such as neurasthenia and headache. Therefore, long-term tinnitus may lead to a variety of conditions, but the common clinical symptoms are mainly the following: 1. Hearing loss: Most patients with long-term tinnitus will experience some degree of hearing loss; 2. Ear swelling and stuffiness: Long-term tinnitus may lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as ear stuffiness, ear swelling and ear blockage; 3. Some patients may suffer from tinnitus, which can recur; 4. Mental symptoms: Long-term tinnitus may lead to mental symptoms such as depression and distress, and some patients may suffer from irritability, excessive tension, anxiety and other bad emotions. If a patient has tinnitus, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically. At the same time, in daily life, attention should be paid to maintaining a positive and good state of mind and relaxation to help the recovery of the disease. If hearing loss is obvious, hearing aids can also be considered.
