subject: 10 Common Causes of Tinnitus - Many Will Surprise You! [print this page] The first step with any issue you are dealing with is identifying the cause. Once you have clearly defined the issue at hand and what is causing it, you can begin to work on a resolution. Tinnitus affects many people so you are not alone but many people have either misdiagnosed what they are experiencing or have simply decided to ignore the problem as if it does not exist. It does exist and there are ways to address the situation but as I said you must identify the tinnitus causes.
If you are thinking right now that you don't have tinnitus because you are too young, old, male, or female; you are wrong. Tinnitus can affect anyone and can range vastly in severity. Tinnitus simply put is a continuous ringing in the ears which has been described in many fashions; crickets chirping, humming, whistling, and even nails down a chalkboard.
Below is a list of some straight forward causes of tinnitus to get you thinking if you could be affected:
Head Injuries
Altitude Sickness
Ear Infection or Ear Wax
Excessive Caffeine
Aspirin
Loud Noise Exposure
Anemia
High Blood Pressure
Hypertension
Consistent Migraines
The main purpose of this list is to explore various causes that are not typically associated with tinnitus. This should get people thinking about whether or not they could be affected and if they have any of the typical symptoms or if they have any persistent ringing in their ears. With that said the cause can vary as much as the symptom. What I have pulled together is short list that outlines some general causes but it would be my suggestion to type any of these causes into a search engine followed by 'tinnitus' to get a clearer understanding of how each one could cause tinnitus.
Obviously most people have ear wax but not everyone has tinnitus the idea is that something as simple as ear wax can lead to tinnitus or compound the issue. By addressing each cause that you may have you will slowly be able to reduce or eliminate your tinnitus. Another example would be that of loud noise exposure, this may cause tinnitus but a lot of the time just creating 'white noise' either in your work place or home can lessen the effects of your tinnitus and make your daily life more enjoyable. It is always good to do continued research on the topic and a great site for that is http://www.myhelpfortinnitus.com.Typically the medical community has little relief for you as it is a difficult condition to treat. I would look into alternative methods that others have found relief in.
