Home Remedies For Tinnitus

Hearing Loss; Tinnitus Symptom Or Cause?

Most tinnitus sufferers also experience hearing loss to a certain degree. Hearing loss can also cause tinnitus, as, although the noises within the body are present all the time, they are usually masked by the external noises of everyday life. When the ear cannot detect these, the brain tends to focus on the internal body noises, making these more apparent.

 

Tinnitus Home Remedies Really Work

 

Suffering hearing loss can be frustrating as it affects our ability to communicate. This can cause stress, which can aggravate the symptoms of tinnitus.

A normal hearing aid may relieve the symptoms of tinnitus, as the sufferer will be able to hear more external and background noises, which will cause the tinnitus sounds to lose their prominence.

 

However, other sufferers find no improvement to their tinnitus in using a hearing aid alone, and some report that these can even amplify the tinnitus sounds. There is now a device available which combines a hearing aid and tinnitus masker together in a single unit. It is called a Tinnitus Instrument, and is worn like a standard hearing aid. It contains separate volume controls for hearing and tinnitus masking; the correct volume for hearing should always be set before the masking element is adjusted, as if the masking sound is too high hearing could be damaged further.

 

How To Cure Tinnitus Naturally?

 

If you think that you are experiencing ringing in ears, consult your doctor who will arrange for hearing tests to be carried out and appropriate treatment advised.

What Causes That Tinnitus Headache?

Tinnitus is sometimes accompanied by headaches, known as temporal headaches. These tend to originate from the temporal bone above the ear. When tinnitus with a temporal headache occurs, it can often be caused by stress; people working in high-stress occupations tend to develop tinnitus accompanied with a temporal headache.

Symptoms can be relieved or even cured by reducing the amount of stress in your life and learning ways of relaxing. For more ways of reducing stress, read this post. For people experiencing high levels of stress who find it difficult to relax, tranquilising medication may be prescribed, although these can quite often have unpleasant side effects.

Lack of sleep can also cause tinnitus with temporal headaches. If you are finding it difficult to get to sleep or are suffering from insomnia, you may want to discuss this with your doctor. You may be able to relieve symptoms or even cure your condition by making sure you receive at least seven hours of quality sleep each night.

Another reason for tinnitus accompanied with temporal headaches could be a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is when a bleed occurs in the subarachnoid area of the brain. This can occur following a head injury, or a rupture of one of the main arteries. It is potentially very serious, but also very rare, so if you are experiencing temporal headaches this is unlikely to be the cause.

A lumbar puncture can also bring on a temporal headache, although this does not generally occur until around 12 hours afterwards.

Another cause may be Temporomandibular (TMD) or Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders (TMD). Muscles and ligaments linked to the ear can sometimes react against each other, causing signals which are misread and can generate noises heard in the ear. Once this is treated, the tinnitus and headaches should disappear.

Tinnitus can be accompanied by a whole range of symptoms, from headaches to dizziness and nausea. Remember, a headache is only a symptom of tinnitus, not a cause- by eliminating your tinnitus the headache should also disappear.
