Tinnitus is actually a kind of brain fantasy sound, a fantasy perception of sound generated within our brain itself in the absence of external sound presence. You may be a tinnitus patient because tinnitus occurs in a high percentage of the population, 16-21% of adults, and more than 41.43% of tinnitus patients in general ENT clinics. As mentioned above, there are many people who have tinnitus, some have it for a short time, some for a long time, and some even for decades. This is a very, very important question. Our brain has a special ignoring function for accustomed sounds. For example, a resident at the roadside may start to perceive the road noise significantly, but over time you will gradually adapt to the road noise and only have a transient reaction to the occasional loud horn. From this, we can confidently tell you tinnitus people that road noise can be accustomed to without being noticed, let alone our tinnitus. And in fact, when researchers matched the loudness of tinnitus, they found that it was only about 10 decibels Hertz, which is only equivalent to the sound of our whisper. The fundamental reason we can’t get used to this small sound and ignore it is how we come to understand and perceive it. The point is that, as the ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus said, “It is not the thing itself that has an effect on man, but the idea with which he sees it. In other words, “it is not the sound of tinnitus itself that has an effect on man, but the idea with which man views the sound of tinnitus” Tinnitus is really just a symptom, just like pain, and our researchers do study and treat tinnitus and pain as similar symptoms, but compared to pain, apart from being common, tinnitus seems to be more puzzling. Tinnitus, as a common, common symptom, is not really scary. Only by fully understanding tinnitus will you be able to treat it reasonably and cooperate reasonably with your doctor to dispose of it. Let’s work together so that eventually the sound of tinnitus will no longer affect you and you can live your life freely.
