Tinnitus: Can Somebody Stop the Ringing in My Ears?
Saturday, April 25th, 2009Robert McEwan asked:
Tinnitus is a common subjective ailment that has many underlying causes. Its name, tinnitus, is derived from Latin and is defined as a ringing sound heard in the ear in absence of a corresponding external sound. However, not everyone who suffers from ear tinnitus hears ringing. There are multiple forms of tinnitus that can be caused by a variety of different factors, making tinnitus not so much an illness as a symptom.
Tinnitus can be subjective or objective. Subjective tinnitus has too many causative factors to begin to list but the common thread is that there is no measurable cause and no objective test to measure the degree of tinnitus suffered by the patient. Because we sometimes are able to sharpen our hearing in certain ranges by concentrating on those sounds, tinnitus can become very bothersome if a person focuses on that sound to the exclusion of external sounds. In these cases, the tinnitus can have a serious effect on daily activities and become debilitating.
Pulsatile tinnitus is one example of objective tinnitus. This type of tinnitus can actually be measured and the cause can normally be found. Pulsatile tinnitus is the name for the experience when one is literally able to hear the blood flow inside the ears, usually in time to the pulse. Extreme cases can even sense the ebb and flow of the blood between pulse beats. Causative factors for pulsatile tinnitus are usually not life life threatening, however, there are some exceptions. Certain tumors, an aneurysm in the carotid artery, or other serious conditions in the head and neck can cause pulsatile tinnitus. These conditions are serious and require immediate treatment. Less serious causes include a simple rise in blood pressure, usually following a fright that triggers a fight or flight response.
While there is no single tinnitus cure, there are a wide variety of treatments designed to help reduce this to a manageable level. Tinnitus treatment can be as simple as removing excess wax from the ears or treating a cold that causes a buildup of fluid in the eustachion tubes between the neck and the ears. Overexposure to loud noises is a leading cause of subjective tinnitus. Reducing the exposure to such sounds can reduce the effects of tinnitus. Certain medications have been shown to have tinnitus as a side effect. Removing these medications usually reduces or eliminates the effects of tinnitus.
Because subjective tinnitus does not normally have a physical cause that can be treated, psychotherapy is often prescribed to treat the problem. In rare cases, mental illness can be diagnosed and treated with medications and therapy sessions that will also reduce or eliminate the ear tinnitus.
Tinnitus is a common problem. The number of factors that can cause it is huge. Tinnitus can vary from a minor distraction that is a little annoying to severe enough to have a negative effect on daily life. Work is ongoing to find a true cure, but with so many causes, treatment is the only solution at this time.

Tinnitus Therapy: An Easy Way To Overcome Tinnitus
Friday, April 24th, 2009Abhinav Sidana asked:
Tinnitus is a common problem affecting almost seventeen percent of the general population around the world. Usually patients in US learn to live with it. Hyperacusis accompany the tinnitus in almost forty percentages of cases. It is actually a decreased tolerance of sound and can be a serious problem. Tinnitus therapy can restore totally or partially the normal level of sensitivity to sound. There are many effects for the tinnitus like lack of concentration, lose of income or job, out of control feelings, family problems, fears of everyday triggers and starting to question your sanity.
Tinnitus therapy is a form of habituation therapy usually designed to help people who suffer from tinnitus. Tinnitus retraining therapy mainly uses counseling to explain to the patient. It also uses noise generators to provide a background noise level. The sound improvement can end their negative reaction to the tinnitus sound, and then reduce and finally end their perception of it. Tinnitus therapy provides hope to sufferers. Mainly to those people who are willing to take the time and make the effort to learn and implement it. After a patient has successfully habituated using tinnitus therapy the perception of tinnitus frequently, returns to the previous level of awareness before perception became opening to doubt.
Tinnitus therapy includes the basic understanding of Jastreboff model, which is a new scientific analysis of tinnitus. None of them has challenge this thesis n the past ten years and is being adopted and referenced by increasing numbers of researchers and clinicians. Tinnitus therapy also includes a basic understanding of the Heller and Bergman experiment. The tinnitus retraining therapy uses a precise and individual combination of sound therapy and teaching. Learning about tinnitus includes directions about how to return to normal life without provoking symptoms. More than eight hundred professionals around the world have attended training courses and many have published identical excellent results.

What causes ringing noises or tinnitus in my ears when I run or exercise?
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009lv2read asked:
Sometimes it’s so bad I’ve looked around for someone rhythmically striking a metal pole, that’s what it sounded like. Maybe it is my heartbeat or blood pumping? Does anyone else have that happen? Sometimes it’s just weird scrapy-noises though. Also it’s not every time I exercise, but especially if I do so intensely. Any help would be great.

Has anyone ever had their mercury fillings removed and tinnitus stopped?
Monday, April 20th, 2009antonedbone asked:
I have had tinnitus (ringing in the ears) for 2 years now. I have recently learned about mercury amalgam fillings being toxic and how they can cause many ailments including tinnitus. So I was wondering if anyone with tinnitus has had their fillings removed or knows someone that has.

Tinnitus is supposed to be just head noises, but what happens if it is accompanied by pain?
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009Kneel Before Zod asked:
I’ve suffered from tinnitus for 10+ years now and the noises themselves have never been too much of a nuisance, but in recent months I’ve started to experience significant pain, soreness, itching, tingling, and throbbing in my ears, along with headaches, jaw pain and vertigo. I’ve also been a severe teeth-grinder and wear a protective mouthguard at night. Should I be worried? And should I even bother wasting money to see a ENT if they’re basically just going to give me a hearing test and tell me to learn to live with it?

Can you grow a near eardrum to cure tinnitus?
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Ronald M asked:
I know you can use stem cells and what not to create new organs in a lab. I’ve even seen a rat with an ear growing on its back. My question - is it possible that you can grow a near eardrum that can be surgically implanted to replace the original? I am not sure how complicated an organ the eardrum is compared to hearts, livers, and what have you. It seems pretty sensitive… thoughts?
