TINNITUS

TINNITUS  Investigations – diagnostics

Your ENT doctor is the first point of contact in the event of acute noises in your ears. He examines the ears, the entire hearing, and other organs. In an interview, he collects the previous medical history. He asks about the beginning, about possible triggers such as noise exposure or stress, and prior illnesses. He will also let you describe the noises in your ears precisely

The following tests, among others, are then used:  nanobiztech

·        A hearing test (audiometry)

·        Tinnitus matching to identify the volume and frequency of the sound

·        Ear microscopy

·        Examination (reflection) of the nasopharynx

·        Checking the auditory nerve function 

·        Supplementary examinations can be: balance testing, testing for misaligned teeth or jaws, clarification of high blood pressure, or changes in the cervical spine / shoulder-neck muscles

Therapy for tinnitus

The treatment depends heavily on the individual case. There is no general, clearly effective therapy. Different methods are used.  globalmarketingbusiness

Is there new tinnitus ( acute tinnitus) with hearing loss? Is hearing loss common? The ENT doctor should then examine within two working days if possible. The doctor will presumably carry out the examinations mentioned above but initially postpone therapy. If the hearing loss does not recover within this period, short-term (approx. 1 week) cortisone therapy should be carried out. If hearing normalizes within this period, but the tinnitus remains, cortisone therapy cannot be considered, as cortisone can only affect hearing. The doctor will then discuss the further procedure with you individually, but infusion treatment is no longer indicated today.  allinonetechs

If the ringing in the ears lasts more than three months, doctors speak of chronic tinnitus. Symptom relief is the primary goal of therapy. Targeted treatment is brutal. Specific behavioral techniques that can be learned can help to change the subjective unpleasant feeling.  leadmarketingbusiness

The European Tinnitus Guideline 2019 makes a strong recommendation for tinnitus-related behavior therapy. Using behavior therapy, the patient should learn strategies to better deal with persistent tinnitus. Stress usually makes tinnitus worse. Therefore relaxation techniques such as autogenic training or yoga are also helpful. It is also essential that the patient is fully informed that the tinnitus is not threatening, especially to avoid pointless attempts at therapy. In particular, unreflective research on the Internet (approx. 20 million links) can lead to a multitude of senseless measures and, through more intensive preoccupation with tinnitus, to increase complaints. technologycompanians

If a hearing disorder accompanies tinnitus, hearing aids are useful. In many cases, the tinnitus will decrease as hearing normalizes.

What you can do yourself:

·        learn to deal better with stress factors

·        Learn relaxation exercises

·        distract from tinnitus

·        Identify the trigger

·        Avoid withdrawing

·        to do sports

·        Avoid noise
