Relationship between Tinnitus and Hearing Loss

Hearing loss can occur due to many different reasons, and that can be of various frequencies and wavelengths. The hearing disorder cannot last long – if inner ear doesn’t experience any major injury of small and narrow frequency but the situation is reversed in case of tinnitus. This could mean that in tinnitus, ranges of high and low pitched frequencies released in eardrum can cause permanent hear loss issue.

Mechanism Of Tinnitus

Some people suggest that tinnitus originates from the cavity of the eardrum or sometimes it arises in the cochlea, in the brain stem or neural pathway. But in most of the cases, it is usually originated from cochlear. However, whatever the origin of tinnitus it’s always translated by auditory part of the brain to show abnormal sign of tinnitus and hearing disorder.

The symptom of tinnitus is carried out by the reduced nerve activity that links with the damaged part of the inner ear to CNS in the brain. These abnormal phenomena lead to trigger nerve activity which tends to show diverse and usual noises in the eardrum. The ringing in head hence does not allow the person to hear original sound of the surrounding.

Correlation Of Hearing Impairment And Tinnitus

As tinnitus and hearing loss is directly proportional to each other, some people who experience tinnitus in past months or year, they are likely to suffer from chronic hearing loss issue. It is also possible that person may receive a small proportion of hearing loss. Tinnitus symptoms are associated with various exposures which cause a certain degree of hearing impairment. This hearing impairment could give a spectrum of noises in the head that does not allow the receiver of tinnitus to perform their respective task.

As you know, tinnitus occurs due to excessive exposure to loud noise which means it leads to cause hearing impairment due to cochlear damage. In which sensitive and subtle mini hair is damaged by the loud pitched noise. As these are interrelated to each other, it’s important to investigate the previous history of hearing aliment to keep prevented from any hearing impairment.

Dreadful Tinnitus And Hearing Impairment

Those who experience inconsistent episodes of tinnitus reported that the noises in a head mask or disturb the original external sound of the surrounding. While some of them experience hearing loss due to tinnitus, so it’s become challenging for both the patient and doctor to examine whether the hearing difficulty is caused by tinnitus or by underlying hearing disability.

Bottom Line

Audiologists report that the hearing disorder always steers tinnitus. So you should keep a check on your hearing ability by seeing a healthcare professional. Always add food to diet after consulting with doctors as these can also contribute to hearing impairment. Moreover, if you work in a loud environment, wear personal protective equipment to keep prevented from harmful hearing exposure.

How you can Train your Brain to Ignore Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a noise only you can hear, it can extremely pestering and can become unbearable at times. However, if it is not an indication of an underlying problem (which you can determine by visiting an LCSW-R provider), then you can train your brain to ignore it.

Loud music/ noise higher than 100 dB can be the cause of tinnitus if heard continuously for 15 minutes. However, older individuals may be experience it as a result of old age. It is quite common and is experienced by 1 in every 5 individuals.

There are hardly any cases that have shown adverse problems in tinnitus sufferers, but a few cases of insomnia, anxiety, and depression have come to light in the past few years. The best way to relieve yourself of the symptoms is to get an immediate consultation with an LCSW-R in your city. As tinnitus is pretty normal, visit the physicians if the situation persists for more than 24 hours.

In any case, before training your brain to ignore the “phantom noise”, make sure that this is not objective- tinnitus nor is it the result of a medical condition. That being established, here are a few things you can do to ignore the bothersome sound.

1. Get a tinnitus treatment/consultation

Booking an appointment at the best tinnitus treatment in New York is definitely a smart idea. They will not only offer you treatment but also provide you with recommendations to ignore the noise perception. A professional consultation can be very effective in calming the symptoms of any disease and this applies to tinnitus as well.

2. Use relaxation techniques

Some might argue that trying to relax can increase the attention on the specific “noise”. But this does not hold true, trying to relax and calming your mind can be very effective in reducing the anxiety and depression that surrounds tinnitus. Meditation with soft music or an audiobook can be very useful in driving the brain’s attention away from the uncomfortable noise. Calming teas, diffusing relaxation oils and tai chi can help you get through this troubling health condition.

3. Stay active

Being busy and concentrating on other activities can diffuse the uncomfortable ringing in your ears. A vacation, more work or even shopping can definitely help your brain ignore the tinnitus. Spending time with your children or pets can be very effective in shifting the focus from your symptoms.

4. Exercise

Exercise definitely increases the body’s stamina to cope with problems like tinnitus. The movement will help your brain pay more attention to the sore muscles rather than the nagging noise in your ear. This is also effective in reducing any insomnia symptoms that you may be experiencing as a result of tinnitus. The exercise will tire your body and help you sleep better.

Recommendation

Our first and foremost recommendation is to visit a tinnitus treatment center in New York. Once it is determined that your body is in perfect health you can proceed by following the above recommendations to dampen the symptoms.
