Ringing In the Ears Can Cause Many Other Problems

By Lisa On August 22, 2009 3 Comments

Ringing in the ears is something that millions of people experience at some point in time. It could be the result of being in an area where there are loud noises such as concerts, work areas and so forth. If you are only exposed to loud noises for a short period of time, then the ringing will most likely go away. For many people, however, the ringing in the ears is a constant problem they must deal with everyday.

Except for rare cases, ringing in the ears is only heard by the person who is affected. This is because the sounds are not coming from an outside source but from within the person’s own body. This condition is referred to as tinnitus and there are many causes for this problem. It’s important to know that tinnitus is not a medical condition but a symptom or side effect caused by something else.

Tinnitus Cures: Are There Any Available?

By Lisa On August 21, 2009 No Comments

If you suffer with tinnitus, then you probably already know that there are no tinnitus cures available. Still, that doesn’t mean that you should give up and not seek help. There are many treatments that can help to mask the sounds you hear or possibly even make them go away temporarily or for good. A lot will depend on the type of tinnitus you have and the severity of it.

The first thing that you need to do is look for the cause of your tinnitus. If it’s a medical condition, then you may be able to get treatment for that, which in turn could make the tinnitus go away as well. If it’s a medication causing the problem, you doctor may be able to switch you to something else that doesn’t have this side effect. However, if the cause can’t be found or eliminated, then your tinnitus may be here to stay. In this case, treatments are needed to help you deal with your problem.

If your tinnitus is mild to moderate, then there are options available that can help you keep it under control such as the ones listed below.

Treatments for tinnitus:

  • Homeopathic Remedies
  • White Noise
  • Vitamins and Minerals
  • Herbs
  • Essential oils

You may need to try different methods or a combination of things before you find what works best for you but it’s certainly worth the time and effort spent. Imagine how great it would feel not having to deal with tinnitus everyday or at the very least, have your symptoms reduced to a more comfortable level. It truly can make a big difference in the quality of your life.

If your tinnitus is severe, then you may be able to reduce the volume of the sounds you hear even if you can’t make them go away. In other words, you may be able to tone them down a bit so you can feel some relief. If you’re a tinnitus sufferer, don’t give up. New options are being researched all the time, some of which may be exactly what you need. In the meantime, take advantage of all the options that are available to search for treatments that can help to improve your condition for now.

What Causes Pulsatile Tinnitus?

By Lisa On August 17, 2009 No Comments

Do you hear a rhythmical noise that tends to beat in sync with your heartbeat? This sound could be a single beat or multiple beats. It can also be a high pitched clicking sound or a low pitched thumping noise, both of which can be very disturbing and distracting. If you’re hearing this sound, don’t worry, you’re not imagining it. Although it’s not as common as other types of noises heard, it is a type of tinnitus called Pulsatile tinnitus. Only about three percent of people with tinnitus have this type but that doesn’t make it any less disturbing.

In most cases, Pulsatile tinnitus is caused by the increase or decrease of blood flow in the veins and small arteries in the regions surrounding the head and neck area. There are several medical conditions that can cause a change in blood flow which are associated with Pulsatile tinnitus. A few of these are listed below:

  • Middle Ear Effusion
  • Hypertension
  • Benign Intracranial Hypertension
  • Glomus Tumor
  • Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery Disease
  • Twisted Arteries
  • Heart Murmur
  • Intracranial Vascular Lesions

Having an abnormal artery or vein that changes the blood flow can also be the cause of this type of tinnitus.

The good news is that if you have Pulsatile tinnitus you may be able to find relief. Since this type of tinnitus is usually caused by some type of medical condition, treating the problem will often eliminate that pulsating sound that’s so disturbing.

Everyone has heard that eating a proper diet and exercising regularly is vital in maintaining good health. It also helps eliminate Pulsatile tinnitus because diet and exercise will improve the blood flow in your body, which is usually what causes this problem.

If you or someone you love suffers from Pulsatile tinnitus, talk to your doctor. You don’t have to suffer, there are tests available that’ll help get to the root of your problem. These include a CT scan, MRA, angiography, ultrasound and MRI.

Don’t put off trying to discover the cause of your Pulsatile tinnitus in fear of learning that you may have some type of serious medical problem. It could be something simple that can be treated easily and if it’s not, then you need to know. The sooner you get treated for any medical condition you may have, the easier it will be to take care of the problem so you can begin feeling better.

Understanding Tinnitus Symptoms

By Lisa On August 12, 2009 No Comments

Did you know that many people have tinnitus and aren’t even aware of it? This is because the average person has a hard time with understanding tinnitus symptoms or even recognizing them in the first place.

Many people all across the nation suffer from tinnitus and most don’t even realize they have it. Could you be one of them? Have you been told that there is nothing really wrong or that you need to learn to deal with it? Maybe you’ve even been told that these symptoms are all in your head?

Chances are, you’ve been lied to and it’s time to get to the truth! Tinnitus doesn’t have to be a part of your everyday life and you do not have to just “learn to live with it”. The first step to help is understanding tinnitus symptoms and learning to recognize your own.

Tinnitus can manifest itself in a variety of different ways. It can be present in one or both ears and it can produce different types of sounds for different people and even at different times of the day or points in the person’s life.

Understanding these sounds can give you great insight into what’s causing your tinnitus. Except for one rare condition that affects only a small number of cases of tinnitus, there are no actual noises present in the ear and no one else will be able to hear the noises the tinnitus sufferer hears.

If you hear any of the following sounds, either intermittently or on a regular basis, then you may have tinnitus:

  • Buzzing
  • Ringing
  • Whistling
  • Roaring
  • Clicking
  • Hissing
  • Chirping

These can range anywhere between the very low sounds that can only be heard when you’re in a quiet environment, to extremely loud sounds that seem to drown out everything else.

They can occur all the time, once in awhile or they can be pulsating, where, the sound will beat in rhythm with a person’s heartbeat. However, this is very rare. Simply put, symptoms of tinnitus include hearing any noise that is not created directly from an external source.

Tinnitus can be heard in either one or both ears. These sounds can be a single tone or multi-tonal, depending on the type of tinnitus you have. In many cases, it’ll sound more like a noise instead of a tone. This condition can come on suddenly with no warning at all or it can happen gradually.

Some tinnitus sufferers find it difficult to sleep at night from the loud noises that seem to project themselves when in a quiet environment. If you find your tinnitus symptoms are worse at night, white noise could be one option to help you sleep.

One of the biggest reasons why understanding tinnitus symptoms is so important is that it can actually help you determine the cause of your tinnitus. This can then lead to answers about the right treatment for your condition. Understanding your tinnitus symptoms can actually be the key to getting rid of those symptoms for good!

Stress Tinnitus And Meniere’s Disease

By John On August 10, 2009 1 Comment

Hi Johm,
I just received 6 btls. tg -07 and tg -11 I ordered.. I work at the airport for 13 yrs. and had stapes surgery in my left ear 6 yrs. ago. I noticed 2 yrs. after the surgery I experienced the tinnitus , dizzeness and vertigo problem. I don’t know if this is the side effect of the surgery. I am now taking serc 16 mg medication for my vertigo.  Can I take the TG-07, TG-11 together with my serc medication?

Some ENT doctors are recommending surgery like ear semi canal drianage operation and other surgeries to cure my vertigo and tinnitus. What do you think? I have tried other medications like herbal tincture ear drops. I just very disperate for a cure of my medical condition.

Thank you.

Ricardo
