Treatment of ringing in the ears in case of osteochondrosis and arterial hypertension

What to do if there is noise and pain in the ears

Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) is a symptom, not a disease. Tinnitus occurs in the absence of external sound stimuli and can be unilateral or bilateral. Why does pulsating tinnitus appear? It can be caused by the perception of blood movement in the vessels of the inner ear and can be felt in conditions of complete silence. This state is considered physiological. Pathological tinnitus is a symptom of some disease. About 8% of the adult population constantly experience tinnitus.

Causes of severe tinnitus

Tinnitus can be different in nature and intensity, constant or occur periodically. Patients describe tinnitus as a high-pitched continuous sound, turbine noise, ringing, whistling, hissing, clicking, and so on.

Causes of severe tinnitus:

  • diseases of the middle and inner ear;
  • damage to the vestibulocochlear nerve, which is responsible for transmitting sound from the ear to the brain;
  • multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases that cause muscle spasms;
  • Meniere's disease;
  • otosclerosis;
  • acoustic injuries, barotraumas;
  • noise and ringing in the ears in the elderly is associated with the natural aging process and hearing loss;
  • osteochondrosis;
  • arterial hypertension;
  • disease of the thyroid gland;
  • neurocirculatory dystonia;
  • cerebral atherosclerosis;
  • brain tumors;
  • intoxication;
  • stress.

Nervous overstrain caused by tinnitus causes insomnia, irritability, depression. A number of studies have confirmed the link between anxiety and impaired concentration of attention with tinnitus. Tinnitus even in balanced people can cause a disorder of the nervous system. Emotionally labile patients, constantly focusing on the problem, increase discomfort. Treatment of tinnitus is an important medical and social task. How to get rid of congestion and tinnitus depends on the cause that caused this condition.

Treatment of tinnitus

Unfortunately, there is still no medication capable of eliminating tinnitus once and for all. When choosing a treatment scheme, the cause of the disease (if it is established), the degree of hearing impairment, previously conducted therapy, and concomitant pathologies are taken into account.

Treatment of tinnitus is reduced to therapy of the underlying disease. Unfortunately, often the cause of tinnitus cannot be identified. What to do if there is noise and pain in the ears, but the diagnosis is not established? In the case of unexplained etiology of tinnitus, drug therapy (betaserk, tanakan), reflexology, hearing aids, psychotherapeutic classes, audio maskers are recommended. There are data on the effectiveness of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants in the treatment of tinnitus. The result of such treatment is a noticeable reduction in discomfort and an improvement in the mood of patients.

It is important to know that when a diagnosis of "cochlear neuritis" is made, the success of treatment depends on the timing of its onset. Therefore, when tinnitus appears, you should immediately consult a doctor. Timely therapy is a guarantee of restoration of hearing and disappearance of obsessive tinnitus.

How to treat constant tinnitus with cervical osteochondrosis? Of course, it is necessary to treat the underlying disease. Taking drugs prescribed by a doctor, a course of physiotherapy, massage, therapeutic gymnastics will help to improve the condition and get rid of the noise.

Arterial hypertension and tinnitus

Dizziness and subjective tinnitus are often early symptoms of arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis. Patients most often experience noise at night, when the surroundings are quiet. It is noted that hearing loss develops simultaneously or immediately after the appearance of tinnitus.

Medications against pressure for tinnitus and dizziness should be used constantly. In general, the treatment of high blood pressure is not a one-time pill intake according to the principle "when the pressure jumped". If the diagnosis of "hypertension" is made, then "pressure" medication must be taken every day for the rest of your life.
