How to treat tinnitus caused by trauma

Tinnitus caused by trauma is generally referred to as traumatic tinnitus, which is usually treated with medication, surgery, etc. Please follow the doctor’s instructions. 1. Medication: once the onset of tinnitus caused by trauma should promptly improve the blood supply to the cochlea, can be used under the guidance of the doctor vasodilators (such as prostaglandin, calcium antagonists, etc.) to treat, but also the use of anticonvulsant drugs (such as diazepam, chloral hydrate, etc.) to reduce the sensitivity of the nerve treatment. 2. Surgery: Surgery is the conventional treatment for tinnitus caused by traumatic tympanic membrane perforation. Surgery repairs the damaged tympanic membrane, which to some extent improves hearing in the damaged ear, thus reducing the risk of infection and physical and chemical irritation caused by traumatic tympanic membrane perforation. In addition, there is masking therapy which utilizes external sounds to inhibit the cochlea or the auditory nerve’s spontaneous excitatory enhancement activity. Trauma-induced tinnitus should be treated by a doctor who can determine the causative mechanism and the severity of the symptoms and give targeted medication and treatment.
