There are many tinnitus patients around, children, students, women, cadres and employees of all ages and in all industries. It plagues the lives of these people, and some of them even live lightly. Tinnitus, as the name implies, is a sound that people hear, not like beautiful music, but like an impulsive devil that annoys people. Then the same sound, why some can make people excited, quiet and comfortable, while some lead to annoyance, disease and pain? Here we first introduce to you how people hear sound and how our brain processes sound and is understood by us. Sound is a kind of energy produced by the vibration of a substance, which is a longitudinal wave that propagates longitudinally. The auricle of the ear collects the acoustic energy and transmits it to the outer ear canal to vibrate the tympanic membrane of the outer wall of the middle ear, causing a regular movement of the small auditory bone links on the inner side of the tympanic membrane, which converts the acoustic energy into the mechanical energy of the auditory bone chain, vibrating the vestibular window of the inner ear, causing fluctuations of the fluid in the inner ear hearing aid. This fluctuation causes the movement of the auditory hair cells in the inner ear, and the movement of the auditory hair cells converts the mechanical energy into electrical signals that can be transmitted by nerves, which are transmitted along the auditory nerve to the primary and secondary auditory centers of our brain, where they are processed and processed, and the electrical signals are “heard” by us, and the auditory centers interact with other related centers of the brain, and the sound is “understood” by us. understood”. The auditory conduction pathway of sound is relatively easy to understand, but the processing of the electrical signals of sound in the auditory center is an extremely complex process. How do we feel and understand the electrical signals? Here we need to mention a few points to facilitate our understanding of the brain characteristics of tinnitus generation mechanism: 1: there are inextricable links between various centers in the brain, the most typical example is the connection between the sensory nerve center that governs the peri-auricular area and the cells of other centers, i.e., when we dig our ears, there will be a cough reflex. 2: when we cannot hear sound, the nerve cells in the brain responsible for hearing will not be idle, but may be in a state of inhibition when we lose the inhibition of sound. On the contrary, they may be in an excited state after losing the inhibition of sound; 3: The sound transmitted in the auditory pathway is in the form of electrical signals, so any abnormal electrical signals in the auditory pathway may be transmitted in the auditory pathway so that the brain can “hear the sound”; 4: Research shows that subjective tinnitus is essentially a brain problem, not simply an ear problem. It is a problem of the ear. Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease, and has a variety of causes. Let’s follow the sound production process to see what causes tinnitus. Tinnitus can basically be divided into two main categories: objective tinnitus and subjective tinnitus. First of all, let’s talk about the causes of objective tinnitus. Objective tinnitus is the tinnitus that is produced by a real sound coming into our ears. There is a source of sound that can be heard. In fact, the normal human body produces a variety of sounds when performing related functions, such as the sound of muscle movement, the sound of teeth clashing, the sound of blood flowing through the blood vessels, the sound of breathing, etc. Why can’t we hear these sounds? In fact, our ears can hear these sounds, but because our brain has subconsciously defaulted to these sounds as meaningless, so ignore them, not to bring them into the higher level of consciousness perception, we feel that we can not hear, which is actually quite understandable, when you and the next person in the lively roadside chat, you think carefully, is not to hear all the roadside sounds? Or do you only hear each other’s voices and loud horns? But when these original sounds change for some reason, become stronger or change in frequency, or our own endocrine plant nervous system changes, resulting in a change in the perception and sensitivity to sound, these original sounds are no longer only in the subconscious brain, but are submitted by our brain to the conscious level, and we also perceive these sounds, which is This is the reason why objective tinnitus arises. After talking about objective tinnitus, let’s talk about subjective tinnitus, which is the most mysterious and troubling aspect of tinnitus, that is, the sound that is perceived by the brain purely without a real source. As we have already mentioned, in the absence of a real sound source, our ears do not actually work, so the reason for this is the structures between the auditory pathways behind the hair cells of the hearing and the auditory centers of the brain. These structures actually transmit electrical signals (i.e., brain firing), which means that any situation in which electrical signals may be generated and transmitted within the auditory pathway may produce the brain’s perception of sound in the absence of an external sound source, i.e., produce tinnitus, subjective tinnitus. Why do some people have difficulty tolerating tinnitus and even have suicidal thoughts because of it? Here we need to briefly explain our brain, in fact, there are two systems in the brain, one system is to deal with all kinds of sensations in the periphery, and is responsible for transmitting these sensations to the corresponding sensory centers in the brain, but whether we react to these sensations is the second set of higher centers. And it is this second higher center that determines how we perceive these sensations and what kind of response we make to these sensations. Specifically, it is our first system that senses tinnitus, but whether we feel distressed about it, whether we have suicidal thoughts, whether it affects our sleep, depends critically on the second system! When tinnitus annoys us too much to ignore, it means our second system is involved. But don’t be disappointed, our brain still has a superior skill, which is brain remodeling, which means that the brain will change under certain circumstances. Our adaptation to the various sounds of the body heartbeat, chewing muscle sounds is brain remodeling. In other words, we can use brain remodeling to overcome our thoughts such as irritability of tinnitus. Of course, brain remodeling is different in each person, just as some people learn things quickly and others slowly, but almost everyone learns! Generally this process takes anywhere from 1 month to a few months, depending on the person. This gives us tinnitus people hope. We are completely able to ignore our tinnitus! Let’s talk about the current diagnosis and treatment methods for tinnitus The specific approach: Step 1 Go to a professional tinnitus institution to clarify which kind of tinnitus you belong to; conduct a systematic examination to discover the cause as much as possible. Localize, qualify and quantify the tinnitus. The second step is to go to a professional tinnitus doctor for consultation, instead of blindly listening to the rumors of non-professionals, including ENT doctors who do not focus on tinnitus; scientifically and empirically, i.e., evidence-based, tinnitus is controllable and knowable. Step 3 Obtain appropriate treatment from a professional tinnitus doctor for different causes of tinnitus including medication and physical therapy; frequent tinnitus interpretation and long-term sound therapy. The fourth step is to frequently exchange insights with people who are fixed tinnitus doctors, adjust sleep, regulate mind, reasonable psychological and emotional reconciliation, all of which are good remedies for tinnitus.
