The right ear does not hear well and makes noise. The ear does not hear well, but it does not hurt - right or left

We often consider noise and tinnitus as a separate disease, but it is not. This is a symptom that signals that something is wrong with our health.

So, what definition do doctors have for tinnitus.
  Noise and tinnitus - tinnitus (medical term) - is the perception of sound without any external sound irritation. Sometimes noise, ringing, buzzing, hissing, rustling, humming, whistling or creaking is heard in one ear, sometimes in two at once, sometimes it is described as a noise in the head. Such noise can be constant and occur periodically and with varying sound strength.

Very hard tolerated constant noise   in the ears, even if it is barely audible. Such an irritant interferes with living, sleeping — it's just “torture” for the sick. Is there any way to help such people? This question interests many.
  First of all, you need to visit an otolaryngologist to determine the cause of this condition. It may be necessary to consult other specialists: a cardiologist, a neurologist or a neuropsychiatrist, as well as an endocrinologist.   This is especially important if tinnitus is accompanied by:

• Hearing loss
• Dizziness
• Headaches
• Heartache
• Nausea
• Gait change
• Loss of motor coordination

Causes of tinnitus

• Increased blood pressure, hypertensive crisis, stroke
• Atherosclerosis, especially of the cerebral vessels (the vessels are not elastic, there is movement of blood with a twist - hence the noise and pulsation)
• High fever, especially in middle ear inflammation ()
• With unusually large physical activity
• Migraine - intense pain in one half of the head and with throbbing and ringing in the ears
• The growth of bone tissue of the middle ear (otosclerosis), which is accompanied by hearing loss
• Neurological systemic diseases (eg, multiple sclerosis)
• Tumor of the auditory nerve (neurinoma) is usually asymptomatic, but when there is noise and ringing in the ear (especially one) when accompanied by dizziness, hearing loss, feeling of goose bumps on the head and face, an urgent need to see a doctor.
• Taking drugs such as Prednisolone, Indometacin, Quinine, Euphylline, Caffeine, Sulfonamides, Tetracyclines, Metroindazole, Benzene, Furosemide, Methyl Alcohol, Streptomycin, Gentamycin, Aspirin and others.
• If water gets into your ear or foreign body (especially unpleasant when an insect enters the ear)
• Poisoning, especially with lead, mercury, phosphorus and arsenic
• Acoustic injury as an occupational disease when working in noisy environments
• Barotrauma - from parachuting or diving - a sharp drop in atmospheric pressure. Tinnitus is accompanied by congestion.
• Osteochondrosis, hernia of the cervical spine
• Head injury, concussion
• Meniere's disease, which increases the volume of fluid in the cavity of the inner ear
• Hearing loss
• Labyrinthitis - the defeat of the vestibular apparatus with inflammation of the middle ear
• Dentures, improperly installed
• Avitaminosis
• Brain tumor
• Hypothyroidism
• Diabetes

Whatever the causes of noise and tinnitus, it is necessary to establish the main diagnosis of this symptom in order to prevent complications and start treatment on time. Especially dangerous if they miss the cerebral circulation (you can skip a stroke) and the growth of the tumor.

Diagnosis of diseases with tinnitus

• Inspection of the patency of the auditory canals
• Auscultation of the skull with a phonendoscope
• MRI or CT of the temporal region for neoplasm detection
• Pharyngoscopy
• Otoscopy
• Audiometry

Tinnitus treatment

If you go to the doctor at the initial stage, then the diseases are usually treated without any complications. In this case, fortifying drugs are usually prescribed:

• Iodine preparations
• A nicotinic acid
• Aloe extract
• Vitamins A, B1, B2

But at the same time you need to know that it is not always possible to completely get rid of chronic tinnitus. This is due to the underlying disease that caused this symptom. But at the present stage, doctors have effective methods to reduce the degree of noise and to enable patients to relieve the state of persistent obtrusive noise in the ears. For example, using hardware noise masker treatment. These are special devices that mask internal tinnitus under external unobtrusivesound which is not as annoying as your own.

Traditional medicine offers several effective recipes for getting rid of tinnitus. But I want to recommend you before applying these recipes, still consult with a specialist whether you can use these recipes in your case or not. After all, it all depends on the diagnosis of the disease, and the noise and tinnitus is just a symptom.

In some cases, the brain begins to sense extraneous sounds: whistling, squeaking, hissing, humming, humming, ringing, buzzing, clicking, sometimes in time with the heartbeats. And it is obvious that there are no sounds outside, the cause of tinnitus is somewhere inside. Even if absent pain sensations, it is necessary to understand the causes of ringing, reducing the severity of hearing. According to statistics, about 20% of the inhabitants sense extraneous noise, one third of them are elderly.

Why it makes noise in the ears. Common causes

The causes of tinnitus are different. Nerve cells of the so-called inner ear   receive irritation that the brain perceives as an outsider sound of one form or another.

Stress or strong emotional stress especially when blood is adrenalin, cause ear ringing, hum. Short-term hearing loss occurs due to overwork, depressed, neurosis. Consciousness becomes unclear, thoughts get confused, but the sense of balance remains.

As a rule, it is enough to rest, sleep, adjust the daily routine to prevent the development of pathology. For more serious health problems, appropriate treatment may be required.

Outside ear ringing, tinnitus appears due to sulfuric plug. Home ways to get rid of traffic jams in the ear canal are presented in the appropriate section of this article.

Short-term decrease in the severity of hearing, the appearance of ringing are associated with the habit of long listening. loud music .

There is noisy noise in the ears atmospheric pressure , the reason may also be the rapid change of indicators blood pressure.

Noise, whistling, squeaking in some cases appear when poisoning , allergies.

Dizziness, ear noise can cause vitamin deficiency IN 3   and E, trace elements potassium   and manganese.

Taking certain pharmacological drugs for a long time ( aspirin, chemidine, gentamicin) also causes tinnitus.

Under what ear diseases does the ringing appear?

Diseases of the organ of hearing often cause tinnitus. May be damaged inner earas well as the nerves through which the impulse is transmitted to the brain. In order to eliminate the ear ring, it is necessary to find out the exact location of the pathology.

Spasm posterior ear artery happens for a reason hypertensionas well as oxygen starvation caused anemia, .

• Increased blood pressure values ​​cause a pulsating ear noise. The influx of oxygenated blood to the brain is reduced as the arteries become constricted. Starts to ring from one or both sides to the beat of the pulse. Also in the ears may make noise due to cerebral vasospasm.
• In case of anemia in the ears, it rings or roars, there is weakness, dizziness, "midges" flash before your eyes.

Hum, tinnitus happens in case meniere's disease when excess fluid forms in the cavity of the inner ear. Increased pressure on the cells of the vestibular apparatus disrupts a sense of balance. It becomes difficult to stand and sit, dizzy, nauseous, coordination disappears, cold sweat breaks through, blood pressure drops.

What diseases cause tinnitus

Cholesterol plaques   inside the arteries of the brain are dangerous stroke   and intracranial bleeding caused by irregularities, the turbulence of blood flow creates ear noise.

Causes of extraneous noise in the organs of hearing can be associated with diseases. thyroid gland . Income deficit iodine   often causes ringing, dizziness.

Kidney disease   can cause noise, stuffy ears. In this case, in adrenal medulla   hormone production is disturbed adrenaline rush   and norepinephrineresponsible for the increase in blood pressure, more intense work of the heart muscle, increase in blood glucose levels. As you know, adrenaline inhibits the release of insulin, which is necessary for reducing the level of sugar.

Often ear ringing outsider rumble   felt when diabetes .

As a rule, periodic extraneous sounds, hum signals about vascular pathology   or vessels brainespecially when absent ear inflammation, there were no injuries of organs of hearing, poisoning.

For example, when osteochondrosis of the cervical vertebrae   arteries are compressed. The supply of brain blood is deteriorating. This becomes the reason why it makes noise in the ears.

Age causes of tinnitus

In old age ringing in the ears may due to otosclerosis . Bone of the middle ear increases, which in the early stages of the disease causes a lack of response to low-frequency sounds. In the later stages, the audibility of high-frequency sounds is lost. Initially, the disease affects one side, then moves to the other.

Often with age the auditory nerve is destroyed , why the head starts to make noise or ring.

In the presence of heart disease   the heart stops providing sufficient blood circulation, with the result that internal organs   and the body systems are lacking in oxygen and nutrition, and are deprived of the opportunity to dispose of the formed waste in a timely manner. This condition, characteristic of old age, also causes ringing and noise in the ears.

How to clean the ears. Sulfur plugs

Not worth cleaning auditory canal   a cotton swab, because the sulfur plug is even deeper. In order to prevent it is worth periodically bury 3% hydrogen peroxide, half a drop several times a certain day. As a rule, lumps of sulfur will soon come out.

Sulfuric plug formation is becoming a common cause of decreased hearing acuity, especially after showering or diving. When moistened, it swells and impairs hearing.

Littered sulfur must be softened before removal. Fits warmed to + 37C sunflower oil, 3% hydrogen peroxide. You need to be prepared that when performing the procedure, the ability to hear will deteriorate even more, as there will be oil or peroxide in the ear canal.

In some cases, it is possible to remove the sulfur plug with a moderately hot heater. It is necessary to lie on her ear. Soon the cork will soften and release the ear canal. Dense sulfur plugs   better to remove in a medical facility.

How to treat ear noise

Correctly diagnose ear disease   can only otolaryngologist.

In some cases, you will need x-ray examination   brain, cervical spine.

Brain vessels may be subjected doplerography, ultrasound. And rheoencephalography(Reg), which determines the tone and elasticity of the brain vessels by exposure to a weak high-frequency current.

To get rid of extraneous sounds, ping can be prescribed drugs that improve cerebral circulation, and neurometabolic stimulantsenhancing the ability to memorize and facilitate intellectual activity. Physiotherapy is prescribed.

Noise in the ear in the left is often a symptom of one of the diseases of the body. 60% of people at least once in their lives faced with the phenomenon of an outsider. In medicine, tinnitus is called tinnitus. This condition brings a person a lot of discomfort, both emotional and physiological, and social.

Noise in the left ear or in the right is a very difficult diagnostic task, since pain is not an independent disease, but one of its symptoms. to find out the doctor. Do not try to treat yourself! Unqualified intervention may further aggravate the situation.

Possible causes of buzz

Noise in the left ear can occur due to movement of the blood during inner ear   and its small vessels. In addition, the reasons that cause noise in the right ear or the left, can be pathological in nature and consist in poisoning with toxic substances. Also, the reason may be the reaction to the medication. The reason that causes noise in the ear, in the left or in the right, may be a consequence of stress and nerve overload, head injuries, and developing cervical arthrosis. If a for a long time   buzzing in the left or right ear, then maybe you develop the following diseases:

• diabetes;
• thyroid dysfunction;
• otitis;
• atherosclerosis of the brain;
• carotid artery aneurysm;
• arterial valve insufficiency;
• meningioma;
• malignant tumor in the temporal lobe of the brain;
• arterial hypertension;
• occlusion in the auditory tube.

This is not the whole list of diseases that can be accompanied by whistling and the formation of outsiders. In young children, ringing may occur due to the formation of a sulfuric plug or a foreign body inside. auriclewhich they put there while playing.

Tinnitus Types

Constant noise can be of the most varied nature and manifest itself in the form of ringing, hum, whistling or hissing. The intensity of the manifestation and the location of the localization of the ring can be different: it can appear only in one ear or affect the membranes of both ears simultaneously. It is very difficult for the doctor to determine whether this deviation is normal in a patient or pathology, because 90% of the noise that occurs in adults is the usual perception by the auditory organ of the external environment.

Humming in the left ear, as a rule, at night, this is alarming, because there are no provoking factors at this time. I would like to note that men hear tinnitus more often, as they are more susceptible to the effects of household and industrial noise. This is an unpleasant phenomenon - a common cause of insomnia, reduced performance, rapid fatigue, irritability. In addition, it makes it difficult to concentrate and distinguish between other sounds.

Modern medicine distinguishes between monotonous and complex buzz of the ear. To monotonous sounds include:

• whistling;
• hiss;
• wheeze;
• buzz;
• ringing

The buzz can be divided into objective and subjective. The subjective is one that only the patient can hear, and the objective is one that can be recognized by both the patient and the doctor, but this is rare. Tinnitus is classified as follows:

• vibratory - produced by the ear itself, that is, its structure and vascular neoplasms;
• non-vibration - caused by irritation nerve endings   or inflammation of the middle and inner ear.

Diagnostic procedures

To confirm the presence of noise and understand its cause, a procedure such as auscultation of the skull with a stethoscope is required. If the sound in the ears manifests itself in the form of pulsation, then we can conclude that this is vascular noise, which could appear due to aneurysm, malignant tumor   or other diseases that require surgical intervention. If the rumble manifests itself in the form of clicking, then probably treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs and anticonvulsants is required. If the noise is not heard, it can be concluded that there is a subjective noise that only the patient can hear. Once the type of ringing is determined, you can fold away the list of diseases that could cause noise, and this greatly facilitates the diagnosis.

It is impossible to measure the subjective noise by the devices, therefore, in order to make a diagnosis and select a treatment regimen, the doctor needs only to ask the patient.

As for treatment, it is appointed only after confirmation of the diagnosis and detection of the cause of noise. As a rule, drug therapy will include anticonvulsant, antihistamine, vasoconstrictor and psychotropic drugs. If we consider in more detail the means that will allow us to get rid of the sounds in the ears, then the doctor will appoint Fezam, Omaron, Cortexin from psychostimulating drugs. Of the anticonvulsant drugs prescribed Tegretol, Difenin, Depakine, Konvuleks.

Antihypoxic drugs are prescribed in the form of drugs such as Preductal, Angiosil, Deprenorm and Rimecor. Antihistamines are prescribed if there is a suspicion of allergic reaction   organism. From antihistamine medicines   may appoint Atarax, Pipolfen, Diprazin. To improve blood circulation prescribed Betahistin, Vinpocetine, Telektol.

  To quickly get rid of allergies and the removal of allergens that cause itching, swelling, sneezing, tearing and other unpleasant symptoms, our readers successfully use the method of Helen Malysheva. Having carefully studied this method, we decided to offer it to your attention.

The doctor may prescribe a course of psychotropic drugs, but after prior consultation with a neuropsychiatrist. Tranquilizers and some of the antidepressants improve patient tolerance for noise, but are characterized by a large number of side effects.

If a sulfuric plug occurs, the doctor may prescribe washing the auricle with hydrogen peroxide or another solution.

Treatment of ailment

In addition to the above drugs, the doctor may advise laser therapy and phonophoresis, and if inflammatory disease   or otitis, then shown. Sleeping on an orthopedic pillow will give good results, especially if the cause of tinnitus is cervical osteochondrosis or atherosclerosis of the neck vessels.

Hypnotherapy, meditation and yoga classes have a good effect on the patient. You can use anti-stress therapy: massage, spa treatments, hydrotherapy. If the disturbance in the work of the organs of hearing is strongly pronounced, then all sorts of hearing aids will help to resume their normal functionality. Today, medicine offers a huge amount of them, they can be mounted inside the ears, behind them, or even be miniature. They return the person hearing, not attracting too much attention.
