There are two types of tinnitus, one is tinnitus with a sound source when the muscles around the ear contract, blood flows, and air currents pass through to produce sound that is transmitted to the ear. The other type is when there is no sound source, but the patient still feels the presence of sound in the ear or skull. Some of them have a cause, such as caused by otitis media, ear canal cerumen, etc.; some of them cannot be examined for any cause, and they are called idiopathic tinnitus. The degree of tinnitus can be mild or severe. In mild cases, it can only be detected in a quiet environment and basically does not affect normal life. In severe cases, the sound of tinnitus is so loud that the patient cannot work or rest normally. So, can tinnitus be treated? The treatment of tinnitus is related to the cause of tinnitus. For example, some tinnitus is caused by cerumen in the external ear canal or otitis, and the tinnitus disappears after the cerumen is removed or the otitis is cured. In some cases, it is caused by muscle movement around the ear, blood vessel pulsation or sound transmission in the ear from breathing, and treatment is provided accordingly. In patients with idiopathic tinnitus, the onset of tinnitus is long, the degree is mild, there is no organic lesion in the examination, and it does not affect life, work, or rest, so it can also be treated without treatment; in some cases, it is more serious and even accompanied by deafness, so it is better to visit a hospital early to exclude diseases such as auditory neuroma. The treatment of idiopathic tinnitus mainly depends on the time of onset and severity, and the timing of treatment is important, and early treatment is effective. There are many friends who are deeply troubled by tinnitus due to the loss of early treatment opportunity, which seriously affects the quality of life. Therefore, once tinnitus occurs, you should go to a regular hospital as early as possible, or if you have original tinnitus and suddenly experience an increase in tinnitus, you should also seek medical treatment as early as possible.
