Hello! Today’s podcast is on tinnitus, which people can’t seem to find a solution to. Doctor, I would like to know that if there is no solution for tinnitus, then how to self-treat it?
This is an excellent question, and tinnitus is a very common problem. Even it happens to children and can happen to any age. Most important is to find the cause of tinnitus. We observe that 99% of tinnitus is expected to have hearing problems. Sometimes you don’t know that you have a hearing problem; When these people have an audiometry test and every frequency is tested and by this test, it is detected how many decibels thresholds they can hear, some or the other hearing deficiency emerges, especially at high frequencies. As the age increases to 60 years, age-related hearing loss starts in everyone. If you are having tinnitus, then first-of-all you should get your audiometry test done. And if you have a hearing problem, then it should be solved so that the tinnitus ends.
So does it mean to say that they can find a solution to tinnitus?
Yes, in a zillion cases, a solution can be found; But there are some 1% of such cases in which we do not find any reason for tinnitus, then we should rule out some serious issues in that. In that case, a BERA test or MRI is also done.
But what to do if someone’s Berra test or MRI also does not declare deficiency?
Then our effort remains that the person should be able to cope with his tinnitus disease. We try to reduce the severity of tinnitus. We use a lot of techniques in this. We treat tinnitus in 2 ways. Either the sick person becomes habitual of tinnitus and or we have some such treatment which can help us adapt the habit of tinnitus well, such as sound therapy.
So doctor, are you trying to say that the sick have to befriend the disease?
The disease haunts the sick as long as the sick keep thinking about the disease.
If you have tinnitus, then that sound is coming from inside you. You can do one thing, you can put some music in the background. In summer, the sound of a fan or cooler can also be useful. Nowadays, many applications have been found on mobile phones where we can also use natural sounds. The sound of the seaside and birdsongs is an appealing solution for nature lovers. You can also use the sound of day-to-day, in which you do not feel that you have used an unfamiliar sound. Only the sound of your environment should be used, so that you will not feel the silence and the sound inside you, which we call tinnitus, will not feel.
If we want to befriend or cope-up with the disease of tinnitus, then we have to take sound therapy only.
In most cases nothing to do. You can cure tinnitus at home. First, get the doctor concerned if there is any treatable cause. The presence of jade simple wax can also cause ear block, due to which you can also feel tinnitus. Your tinnitus will also be cured as soon as the hearing is cured after the wax is removed from the ear. There may be a hole in the eardrum; If the hole is filled, then it will also cure tinnitus. You must visit your ENT doctor. If tinnitus cannot be cured by any surgery or medicine said by an ENT doctor. In most cases, people with tinnitus become habitual on their own if they don’t think about it much.
As far as I have understood: First know and understand your disease, consult your ENT doctor. Don’t panic because by worrying that the disease will take a giant form. So it is better not to panic and study about it properly, know it, and then turn towards its solution. Is there anything else they can do to treat tinnitus? Because I think we will have many viewers who will have questions about tinnitus even after so many discussions. Why does tinnitus happen? And like you told me many things. As per the discussion, we understand some causes of tinnitus; it can be due to wax or eardrum rupture. Is there any other reason for tinnitus? When the tinnitus subsides, we have told about its solutions, but if there is persistent tinnitus, we are also doing sound therapy along with it. Apart from this, is there anything else we can do to treat ourselves?
People with tinnitus have the biggest problem while sleeping because they cannot sleep when there is silence. If you have any anxiety, then treat it. If you have any stress, then you will feel tinnitus more than that. For example, when you are in a good mood and no matter how much sound is outside, it will not affect you, but if you are in a bad mood and a pin falls, then that sound seems very bad. So, if you are having tinnitus then you should know your mood- if you are stressed, then you should relax. The best way to relax is to indulge in some of your hobbies, work while listening to music. Tinnitus will bother you only when you are sitting idle. If you are busy with your usual work, then tinnitus will not bother you.
