Millions of Americans are now suffering from ringing ears which can range from mild to severe. This condition is called “Tinnitus”. In this article, I will go over some tips and information that might help you deal with or prevent this condition.
There has been a lot of research done towards finding out why tinnitus occurs. Anatomically, whenever we hear a sound, a vibration is sent to the part of the ear containing tiny hair cells. These hair cells in turn, send electric signals to the brain that help translate the vibrations into a sound. Sometimes these little hair cells are damaged and they continuously send bursts of electricity to the brain when there are no noises causing vibrations. What causes this damage ranges from high blood pressure to earwax etc.
If you suffer from tinnitus it’s always good to check your blood pressure. High blood pressure can not only cause this but it could also affect your heart. You should also avoid high levels of sodium. If you suffer from high blood pressure, become conscious of the levels of sodium in your diet.
If you are one of the lucky individuals who do not suffer from tinnitus, you may prevent it by reducing the noise you expose your ears to and avoiding listening to very loud music. The continuous exposure of loud music to your ears can not only worsen the condition but also result in hearing loss.
If you already suffer from this condition, there are Miami hearing aids that generate a pleasant sound that will help masque the annoying ringing in the ears caused by tinnitus. In the end, always consult your local audiologist such as Dr. Joseph Duran or visit your Miami hearing center, which will guide you on more tips that will help you deal with or prevent Tinnitus.
