Vertigo Bouncing Tinnitus: Management Tips
Inner ear disorders produce symptoms of hearing loss, vertigo, bouncing tinnitus, and feeling of fullness in the ears. Many cases of these disorders cannot be treated successfully. Generally, treatment is aimed at helping people manage the symptoms.
Vertigo that is associated with tinnitis may be due to Meniere’s disease or acoustic neuroma. Both conditions affect the inner ears. The former is due to increase of fluid pressure in the inner ears causing periodic bouts of vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. There is no cure for Meniere’s disease, but the symptoms can be managed through medications. Acoustic neuroma happens when a benign tumor grows on the auditory nerve. This causes tinnitus and hearing loss on the affected ear and also causes vertigo or balance problems.
People with these problems should go to an otolaryngologist to monitor the progress of the symptoms. Surgery is often the last option for inner ear problems like Meniere’s disease and acoustic neuroma. Unless the symptoms become increasingly bothersome, there is no need for dire approaches.
Do no more damage to your ears by staying away from loud noises. Keep your body’s fluid and chemical balance by eating right and taking the right amounts of fluids. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and sodium. Also, watch out for the progress of your symptoms. You should report sudden hearing loss or unrelenting vertigo to your doctor.
