How Biophilia Intruder deals with tinnitus

Tinnitus is the abnormal sound hallucinations such as buzzing and hissing in the ear or skull in the absence of an external sound source. This kind of sound sensation can be one or more than one, and lasts for a certain period of time.
Tinnitus itself is not a disease, it is a symptom of some diseases. People can have physiological tinnitus, and when the tinnitus exceeds the physiological limit, it becomes symptomatic tinnitus.
Patients with hearing loss are often accompanied by tinnitus, which is often a symptom of a disorder or disorder of the hearing system.
So we have to pay attention to the changes in the body, use Biophilia Intruder to pay attention to the changes in the body of yourself and your family, just like your family doctor.
Subjective tinnitus and objective tinnitus
In objective tinnitus, not only the patient can hear the tinnitus, but the doctor can also hear it through the auscultation equipment. This type of tinnitus is mostly pulsatile tinnitus, which is mainly caused by blood turbulence in the ears or contraction of facial and neck muscles. The etiology and efficacy are relatively clear.
Subjective tinnitus is a tinnitus that can only be heard by the patient without external sound stimulation. This subjective tinnitus is usually described by the patient as ringing, buzzing, or clicking.
Acute tinnitus, subacute tinnitus and chronic tinnitus
Tinnitus is classified according to the duration of tinnitus. Those with tinnitus duration shorter than 3 months are classified as acute tinnitus; those with tinnitus duration shorter than 6 months and longer than 3 months are classified as subacute tinnitus; those with tinnitus duration longer than 6 months are classified as chronic tinnitus.
Pulsating tinnitus and non-pulsating tinnitus
Pulsating tinnitus, the rhythm of tinnitus is usually matched with the heartbeat speed and pulse speed, and may have a rapid or roaring nature. Doctors can also hear it with a stethoscope, which is also called rhythmic tinnitus, vascular tinnitus, and impulsive tinnitus. It can be caused by vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, or by idiopathic intracranial hypertension, that is, the buildup of pressure in the skull.
Pulsating tinnitus accounts for about 4% of all tinnitus. Otherwise, all are non-pulsatile tinnitus.
There are many causes and manifestations of tinnitus. We cannot make a good judgment, nor can we go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Therefore, using Biophilia Intruder equipment can not only pay attention to your own health status, but also improve your body’s resistance and immunity. , To avoid the hazards of many diseases.
Vascular disease
Vascular diseases most often cause pulsatile tinnitus. For example, the arteries near the ear and temporal regions may transmit the sound of blood turbulence, and the carotid artery system is also a common source of sound. Patients with benign increased intracranial pressure, sigmoid sinus diverticulum, or obvious jugular bulb may hear the humming of veins.
Tinnitus caused by hearing loss
Hearing loss associated with aging, also known as presbycusis, usually starts around the age of 60.
Long-term exposure to high-decibel noise or long-term exposure to noise can also damage the human auditory system and cause hearing loss, such as large-scale entertainment venues or violent electric saws.
In the case of hearing loss, the brain cannot accept certain frequencies of sounds, the brain begins to adapt, and tinnitus may be a way for the brain to fill this gap.
Middle ear blockage or Eustachian tube dysfunction
Blockage of the ear canal can lead to increased pressure in the inner ear and affect the function of the tympanic membrane. For example, excessive earwax, middle ear effusion, etc. The eustachian tube is abnormally open, which can cause tinnitus similar to the roar of the ocean, and the frequency is synchronized with breathing.
Head and neck trauma
Severe trauma to the head or neck can damage nerves, blood flow, and muscles, which can cause tinnitus. This kind of tinnitus symptoms are often more serious.
Temporomandibular joint disorders
The temporomandibular joint connects the mandible to the skull and is located in the front of the ear. It controls mouth opening, closing, or chewing.
Damage to the muscles, ligaments, and articular cartilage in the temporomandibular joint can cause tinnitus symptoms because it is adjacent to the auditory system and shares some ligaments and nerves with the middle ear. Patients with this kind of tinnitus may also feel pain in the jaw or restricted jaw mobility; joint friction sounds when chewing or speaking.
Sinus pressure and barotrauma
Nasal congestion caused by a bad cold, flu, or sinus infection can cause abnormal pressure in the middle ear and cause tinnitus. In the case of diving, diving, etc., acute barotrauma caused by drastic and rapid changes in water pressure may also damage the middle and inner ears and cause tinnitus.
Tinnitus caused by ototoxic drugs
The side effects of some prescription drugs also include tinnitus. In most cases, this kind of tinnitus is an acute, short-lived side effect. If you stop taking the medication, the symptoms of tinnitus will usually decrease or disappear.
Some ototoxic drugs may cause permanent tinnitus symptoms, such as certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Other system diseases
Tinnitus can be one of the symptoms of the following diseases, that is to say, these diseases are common diseases that cause tinnitus:
Endocrine diseases: hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, diabetes.
Cardiovascular diseases: hypertension, atherosclerosis.
Mental illness: depression, anxiety, catatonia.
Tumor: Acoustic neuroma.
