In a quiet environment, without ambient noise, why do you always feel a buzzing sound in your ears ? At this time, you should pay attention, you may have tinnitus...

The concept of tinnitus

Tinnitus refers to an illusion that occurs in the auditory system. There is no corresponding sound source in the outside world , but there is always a sound in the ear , such as buzzing, roaring, or cicada chirping . The tone of tinnitus can also be divided into low, medium, and high pitch tinnitus according to the frequency.

Causes of tinnitus

The factors that cause tinnitus are relatively complex and may include stress, endocrine disorders, ear or auditory nerve damage, long-term noise pollution, toxic effects of drugs, etc. Long-term effects on the human body can cause tinnitus.

In daily life, how can we avoid tinnitus and deafness? First, avoid long-term exposure to noise to reduce noise damage ; second, change bad living habits, avoid long-term physical and mental stress, fatigue, avoid staying up late, smoking and drinking ; third, for people who take medication for a long time, they should take it under the guidance of a doctor to avoid the toxicity of the drug from damaging our auditory system ; finally, if there is persistent tinnitus, or a sudden and obvious decrease in hearing , it must be taken seriously and go to the hospital for treatment in time .

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney opens up to the ear, and kidney qi flows through the ear. Tinnitus and deafness are directly related to the strength of kidney function. Constant tinnitus is the kidney sending an alarm to our brain. According to traditional Chinese medicine, tinnitus sounds like cicadas, with a low pitch and mild hearing loss. At the same time, it is accompanied by soreness of waist and knees, insomnia and dreaminess. It is likely caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis, kidney essence deficiency, and lack of nourishment to the ears .
