Buzzing ears may be related to cerumen impaction, secretory otitis media, sudden deafness, etc. General treatment, medication and surgery should be chosen according to the cause and degree of the disease.
1. Cerumen embolism: The accumulation of cerumen in the ear canal can lead to the formation of embolism under the effect of factors such as excessive secretion of cerumen in the external auditory canal and poor drainage of cerumen. When the tympanic membrane is closed, it is easy to produce the sensation of buzzing in the ear like a blockage. Specialists can remove the cerumen with professional instruments, or flush it out with saline after sodium bicarbonate ear drops soften the cerumen sufficiently.
2. Secretory otitis media: mostly caused by infection, allergy and Eustachian tube dysfunction, etc. After the accumulation of fluid and negative pressure in the middle ear cavity, there can be a buzzing sensation in the ear like a blockage. For bacterial infections, antibiotics such as amoxicillin can be used, short-term oral prednisone and other glucocorticoids to reduce inflammation, nasal spray hydroxymetazoline and other decongestants to improve the function of the Eustachian tube.
Conservative treatment is not effective, feasible tympanocentesis, tympanotomy and other surgical treatment.
3. Sudden deafness: Sudden sensorineural deafness of unknown cause. Especially low-frequency deafness will have the above symptoms. Treatment can be systemic application of glucocorticoids, or local tympanic chamber, postauricular hormone injections, such as methylprednisolone sodium succinate, to improve microcirculation and nutrient neurotoxicity drugs, such as ginkgo biloba leaf extract, methylcobalamin and other drug therapy.
When there is a buzzing in the ear ear like a blockage, you can actively seek medical treatment for systematic examination, after a clear diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions standardized treatment.
