Reduce the Static of Tinnitus

To say that your “ears are ringing” is a fairly common expression.

In fact, it is such a part of everyday vernacular that it can be easily construed as just something people say.

For example, you might have just walked past a construction site or emerged from a loud concert and find that your ears are ringing.

But what if it’s happening constantly, with no logical, external reason for its presence?

Then you may have a problem with your hearing. You may have Tinnitus.

It is important to define Tinnitus as not a disease itself, but rather a symptom or indicator of another underlying problem.

It could be as simple as an excess of earwax pressing against the eardrum, or as serious as a tumour.

For this reason, Tinnitus should not be ignored.

In the same way you wouldn’t leave a sore tooth untreated in case it is a sign of a cavity, you shouldn’t ignore a ringing in your ear in case it is a sign of a greater problem. Not to mention the sheer discomfort that it can bring.

Tinnitus doesn’t have to be defined as a ringing in your ear.

Any kind of unusual noise like a buzzing or a humming should also be a warning sign that you may have Tinnitus, and if any of these abnormalities persist then you should definitely have a check-up with a hearing specialist.

Luckily, getting to the bottom of one’s Tinnitus is very achievable.

It is something audiologists examine on a regular basis—as it is more common than you might think, with around 18% of Australians experiencing it.

Tinnitus can often be treatable depending on the underlying medical condition.

Therapy, medication, and change of lifestyle could all play a role in reducing or eradicating the symptom. If it is associated with a greater hearing problem then hearing aids can be used to improve the situation.
