subject: Producing Perception Of Ears Ringing [print this page] The symptoms of tinnitus needn't be just sounds, there are also physical symptoms, all of which have underlying causes. This article highlights some of these symptoms, its causes, and points on how to overcome this condition naturally. An estimate of around 50 million US citizens is affected by this condition with only 25 percent of which take measures to address the issue.
Of this number, only about 7 percent successfully treated their condition while about 2 million of this statistics ceased to function normally. On a wider note, tinnitus is undeniably very critical specifically due to the fact that people are not educated about its impact and how serious this condition is. Tinnitus symptoms are the noises a sufferer hears in their ears, when there is no external source for those noises, i.e. they are produced, or at least perceived, internally.
Patients hears different noises depending on the causes and severity of this condition. Some examples of the kind of noises that a patient might hear include roaring, whooshing, ticking, and even whistling. Among the most notable symptoms of this condition are the nauseous feeling and dizziness.
The most important thing to remember is the fact that tinnitus is actually not an illness but a mere series of symptoms manifested by several system discomfort. The causes can be generally grouped under the following broad headings; hearing damage, stress / anxiety, sinus problems and / or allergies, Meniere's disease.
Within these broad groups you have things like; head / neck trauma, whiplash, inner ear / auditory nerve damage, age-related hearing loss, ear infections, hearing damaged through excessive noise, otosclerosis, blocked eustachian tube, hypertension, anaemia, excessive medication, and so on. It is clear from this that the people perhaps most at risk of tinnitus are folks who work in noisy environments, who listen to too high volume music (e.g. earpieces, phones, in-car systems, etc.), who suffer head or neck injury, are on some long term medications (e.g. aspirin, antibiotics, etc.), suffer from high blood pressure, are anaemic, have high cholesterol (e.g. hardening of the arteries), suffer from anxiety disorder, etc. The usual treatment for this condition include medications and therapies.
People are not keen on having drug-based medications because of its potential side effects. Some of the most preferred alternatives to treating tinnitus are hearing aids, yoga, acupuncture, and electrical simulation. Despite these solutions, only around 7 percent of the total population affected by Tinnitus actually recovers. Another natural home treatment interestingly showed a far more effective performance of around 80 percent. Anyone can practically do this easily in the comforts of their home and even at work. All processes involved are products of years of researches and have been proven to be safe and effective.
