Not an independent disease, but only a symptom of many of them is ringing in the head. Statistics say that to one degree or another, it worries up to thirty percent of the world's population. The whole fault is a malfunction in the hair cells, which begin to send signals to the auditory nerve, even in the absence of external vibration.
If there is ringing in the head, the causes should be sought in the degeneration of hair cells that occurs with age. Sometimes sulfur in the ears, immobility of the bones of the inner ear, damage to the eardrum and the development of infections in the middle ear lead to disturbances in their work. Allergies, neck and head injuries, thyroid disease, and high blood pressure can also cause ringing in the head. The reasons are quite serious, but even in the most severe cases, a number of steps can be taken to alleviate this symptom.
To get started, try to avoid sources of loud noise. Each new loud sound affects the damaged hair cells of the inner ear even more destructively, reducing the likelihood of recovery. Check your blood pressure regularly. Experts say that in most cases, ringing in the head appears precisely because of its sharp increase. In addition, this is a clear risk factor for heart disease.
If there is a dysfunction of the middle ear, reduce the amount of sodium consumed. Cook with other aromatic spices and remove the salt shaker from the table. Carefully read the labels on the package when purchasing products. Particular preference should be given to labels marked “sodium free”. Five milligrams of salt per day is enough for a healthy body.
Large doses of aspirin can also cause ringing in the head. Treatment for arthritis or chronic pain requires daily intake. Try to reduce the amount of aspirin and pay attention to your well-being after that. Be sure to consult your doctor about this issue and carefully read the annotations for medications.
Hair cells are brought into forced activity, which means they can provoke ringing in the head, various stimulants. Limit your daily caffeine intake. It is found in large doses in chocolate, coffee, tea, as well as drinks like Coca-Cola. Temporary pleasures such as smoking and alcohol consumption have a particularly negative effect on our body. They should be abandoned once and for all.
Due to the fault of poor blood circulation, a ringing in the head may appear. Treatment in this case includes daily walks in the fresh air and physical education. If you feel overwork, you just need to set aside time for rest. Constant fatigue leads to a decrease in the body's resistance to various infections, which creates the most favorable conditions for the development of diseases.
It is quite difficult to completely eliminate ringing in the head, but you can mitigate unpleasant symptoms. Of great importance here is the correct distribution of rest and labor. Mental and physical work is necessary, but only without stress and in quiet conditions.
To muffle uncomfortable symptoms, many use methods of auto-training and relaxation, listen to pleasant music, the sounds of a waterfall, rain or birdsong. With strong constant ringing, experts recommend wearing a special electronic device. It resembles a device for the deaf-mute. With the help of an audiologist, you can tune it to a wave that allows you to hear others and participate in the conversation. For many, this device becomes a salvation at night.
