Tinnitus Treatment

That Ringing In My Ear — That Hissing, Whistling, Pulsating Tone …It’s called tinnitus, and for some, it’s a debilitating experience.

Tinnitus (TIN-ih-tus) is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears. In fact, being a common problem, tinnitus affects about 1 in 5 people. It won’t be wrong to say that Tinnitus treatment services in Chandigarh is one of the most sought-after services. Tinnitus isn’t a condition itself —rather, it’s a symptom of an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, ear injury or a circulatory system disorder.

Although bothersome, tinnitus usually isn’t a sign of something serious. However, if not treated, it can worsen with age, for many people, tinnitus can improve with treatment. That is to say, treating an identified underlying cause sometimes helps. Other treatments reduce or mask the noise, making tinnitus less noticeable.

Though the common misconception about tinnitus is that it’s a disease, it is actually a medical condition characterised by persistent ringing in one or both ears that can only be heard by the affected individual. But it’s time to cast aside all such worries because Zeneth Healthcare is offering tinnitus treatment in Chandigarh to provide relief and support for individuals experiencing this bothersome condition.

COMMON CAUSES

Age-related hearing Loss

For many people, hearing worsens with age, usually starting around age 60. Hearing loss can cause tinnitus. The medical term for this type of hearing loss is presbycusis.

Exposure to loud noise

Loud noises, such as those from heavy equipment, chain saws and firearms, are common sources of noise-related hearing loss. Tinnitus caused by short-term exposure, such as attending a loud concert, usually goes away; long-term exposure to loud sound can cause permanent damage.

Earwax blockage

Earwax protects your ear canal by trapping dirt and slowing the growth of bacteria. When too much earwax accumulates, it becomes too hard to wash away naturally, causing hearing loss or irritation of the eardrum, which can lead to tinnitus.

Ear bone changes

Stiffening of the bones in your middle ear (otosclerosis) may affect your hearing and cause tinnitus. This condition, caused by abnormal bone growth, tends to run in families.

OTHER CAUSES

Meniere’s disease

Innitus can be an early indicator of Meniere’s disease, an inner ear disorder that may be caused by abnormal inner ear fluid pressure.

TMJ disorders

Problems with the temporomandibular joint, the joint on each side of your head in front of your ears, where your lower jawbone meets your skull, can cause tinnitus.

Head or neck injuries

Head or neck trauma can affect the inner ear, hearing nerves or brain function linked to hearing. Such injuries generally cause tinnitus in only one ear.

Acoustic neuroma

This noncancerous (benign) tumor develops on the cranial nerve that runs from your brain to your inner ear and controls balance and hearing. Also called vestibular schwannoma, this condition generally causes tinnitus in only one ear.
