Tinnitus Treatment For Noise Damage Tinnitus
|
Common causes of cochlea damage are:
• Exposure to long continued loud noises (in the workplace maybe)• Sudden extreme exposure to noise such as a gunshot, an explosion • A blow to the head • Airbags deploying in a motor accident • Dental surgery • Head surgery • Listening to loud music (MP3 players lie the Apple iPod can produce music at dangerous levels, and the sound is pushed directly into your ear canals) • Inner and middle ear infections • Ear wax removals gone wrong • Swimming accidents • Sports injuries To understand what occurs if you experience tinnitus from cochlear damage, a little working knowledge of the inner ear and the cochlea is will be most helpful to you. |
Study the illustration below:
There are about 15,000 tiny hair cells in the cochlea that are stimulated by the pressure of sound waves. This stimulation causes movement of the tiny hairs, which is similar to a wheat field moving in time to the wind blowing.
When a sound is detected in the inner ear, these tiny auditory hairs move, electrical impulses are discharged through the auditory nerve which the brain interprets as sound.
These tiny hair cells and the tiny auditory nerves (shown in yellow) are extremely delicate and are easily damaged if you are exposed to a sudden or continuous loud noise or you have been exposed to loud noises over an extended period of time.
Damage to these cells also occur naturally as part of the aging process.
The tiny hairs get bent or even broken and they will then send electrical impulses randomly to the brain. These impulses are interpreted as sound, even though there is a complete absence of sound.
It is almost like a faulty electrical connection sending out impulses (the ear ringing noises) on a random basis or sometimes continuously.
Note: This tinnitus type (cochlear damage tinnitus) can occur even though the sufferer has not been exposed to loud noises. It is possible to have an inner ear infection that causes incredible internal damage but no pain is actually experienced. You maybe feel a bit off colour and possibly a bit light headed.
When the infection passes it leaves you with an unwanted gift, high frequency hearing loss and or tinnitus as a result of the damage the infection caused.
The most common cause of cochlear damage tinnitus is noise however and don’t forget, we live in a really noisy world today. Loud noises at work, pubs, clubs, sporting events, your car.
| These are the tinnitus sounds commonly experienced by tinnitus from cochlea damage: |
| • ringing bells |
| • chirping sounds |
| • sounds like cicadas or crickets |
| • roaring |
| • hissing and fluttering sounds |
| • a high frequency noise similar to that of a computer monitor |
It is important to remember these tinnitus remedies are not a magic potion which can restore your hearing and cure your tinnitus overnight. They are homeopathic preparations formulated to heal the damage from within.
These remedies are a blend of natural homeopathic ingredients that are formulated to heal the damage that has occurred in the sensitive inner ear organs. They work by healing the damaged nerve endings in the inner ear.
As these delicate areas of the inner start to heal, so the tinnitus starts reducing.
Dosage: The noise induced tinnitus remedies are provided in a handy tablet form. Take two tablets twice daily dissolved under the tongue in the morning and evening. You can dissolve the tablets in some water if you prefer.
