Tinnitus is clinically a symptom of many diseases, but it is also the first symptom of some serious diseases (such as auditory neuroma). Some patients have tinnitus that persists or even recurs. Is it because tinnitus cannot be cured at all, or is there a problem with the treatment method? First of all, can tinnitus be cured or not? For tinnitus that has a cause, the tinnitus can be relieved by treating the cause. For tinnitus that has no cause, we need to reduce the impact of tinnitus on the patient as much as possible through medication, sound therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and other means, so that the patient can regain a healthy life. In the face of chronic tinnitus, patients should realize the following points to prevent tinnitus from lingering: 1. Tinnitus and deafness cannot be equated, and there is no direct relationship between the two. Patients who have tinnitus should not worry too much about whether they will become deaf or not. 2. Patients should not be overly concerned about whether they are neurologically deaf or not, as this is only an academic concept that has little significance for the treatment itself. Tinnitus can be caused by a neurological cause, or it can be caused by other causes or even no cause at all. Excessive attention causes mental tension instead. 3. Keeping yourself in a good frame of mind to treat the disease and adjusting your emotions in time can be a plus to the treatment of tinnitus. Don’t scare yourself away, but seek medical advice in time and actively listen to the professional advice of your doctor. It can be seen that the reason why some chronic tinnitus patients have a prolonged illness may be due to insufficient knowledge of the disease or lifestyle problems. For example, the lack of understanding of tinnitus may lead to emotional ups and downs; or excessive fatigue, poor sleep, stress, etc., leading to mental tension and psychological stress, and tinnitus will appear in a vicious cycle: tinnitus → psychological stress → tinnitus repeatedly. As for some patients, they always wonder whether Chinese medicine or some health products are effective or not. Is it useful to take ginkgo extract, melatonin, zinc preparations or other dietary supplements? First of all, for Ginkgo biloba extract, melatonin, zinc preparations and other proprietary Chinese medicines or dietary supplements, some patients may feel less tinnitus after taking them because these medicines are nourishing and promote nerve function recovery, and have certain therapeutic effect on tinnitus caused by poor circulation of the auditory nerve. However, it does not mean that once tinnitus occurs, doctors should prescribe these drugs. Secondly, health care products cannot be taken as medicine, much less produce the curative effect of medicine. For antibiotics or hormones, they are generally used for the allopathic treatment of tinnitus in the acute stage, and are not recommended for chronic tinnitus. For cranial magnetic stimulation therapy, it works by applying a magnetic field to the brain to improve the excitability of the brain in order to change the perception of tinnitus sounds by the cerebral cortex. The efficacy of this method is uncertain, and physicians do not agree. In conclusion, in order to avoid tinnitus from lingering, it is important to find the right treatment method and not to use drugs or physical therapy equipment indiscriminately. At the same time, it is important to adhere to the treatment, and not to stop treating tinnitus after it has shown its effectiveness, as it is easy to relapse. During the treatment period, it is also necessary to go to the hospital regularly to check the effectiveness of tinnitus treatment.
