It is estimated that the incidence of tinnitus is relatively high, about 10% – 15%. It can be seen that the number of people affected by tinnitus in the world is wide. However, there are different opinions about tinnitus among the people, so what is the truth?
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Misunderstanding 1. Tinnitus is an incurable disease
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Tinnitus itself is not a disease, but a result of various potential diseases reacting on the ear. It is a symptom. Tinnitus can be caused by noise, nerve damage, vascular disease, and even traumatic brain injury. Tinnitus may also be caused by adverse reactions after taking certain drugs.

Although there is no absolute “cure method” for tinnitus, there are still some ways to reduce symptoms and make tinnitus patients more easily accept the existence of tinnitus.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Mistake 2: changing eating habits can eliminate tinnitus
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Some people think that the consumption of alcohol, coffee or high salt food, as well as food additives will aggravate tinnitus, but usually these are not the root causes.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Balanced diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle are very important to the overall health. It can improve immunity to a certain extent or reduce tinnitus, but it is not the way to treat tinnitus, and it is impossible to “cure” tinnitus.

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Misunderstanding 3. Once there is tinnitus, we can do nothing
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Don’t be so pessimistic! Scientists have never stopped studying tinnitus, and treatment methods are constantly improving and improving.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Whether your tinnitus is mild or severe, the doctor will give you a treatment plan to help you alleviate the symptoms. In addition, doctors can also reduce the possibility of tinnitus through comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of diseases that may cause tinnitus.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
4. Only hearing impaired people have tinnitus
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Most people with hearing loss will have tinnitus. Hearing loss and tinnitus often go together. But be aware that people with normal hearing may also have tinnitus. For example, when you are in a high-intensity noise environment, such as a rock concert, you are likely to experience temporary tinnitus. In this case, it is urgent to keep away from the noise and keep the ears quiet.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
If tinnitus does not disappear in the next few days, it is recommended to go to the otorhinolaryngology Department of the regular hospital to see a doctor, so as to avoid worsening tinnitus, or even hearing loss.

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
5. People with tinnitus will eventually become deaf
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Although hearing loss and tinnitus are “closely related”, they can exist alone, not necessarily in one way or another. Therefore, having tinnitus does not mean that there will be hearing loss. Even if the hearing loss occurs after tinnitus, it does not mean that there will be complete deafness in the end.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
It is suggested to wear suitable hearing aids in time, which can not only compensate for hearing loss, but also reduce tinnitus.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Misunderstanding 6. Tinnitus sounds like a sound
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >

High frequency buzzing like ringing tone is common in tinnitus patients, but some people will hear such sounds as buzzing, hissing, sanding, etc., and even different tinnitus may be heard in different time periods of the same person’s day.

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Misunderstanding 7. Wearing hearing aids is not helpful for tinnitus
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
In fact, wearing a hearing aid can amplify the sound of the external environment, so as to mask tinnitus and relieve the symptoms of tinnitus.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
In addition, a large number of hearing aids have the function of tinnitus masking, which can help more tinnitus patients with hearing loss to some extent.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Mistake 8: taking medicine can cure tinnitus
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Unfortunately, there is no “panacea” to cure tinnitus. But there are some treatments that can reduce the symptoms of tinnitus and make it easier for us to accept tinnitus. For example, in the field of acoustic therapy, great success has been achieved. By playing masking noise similar to tinnitus tone, the perception of tinnitus can be slowed down.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
For example, tinnitus acclimatization therapy, meditation, psychotherapy, cognitive behavior therapy, as well as changing diet and strengthening physical exercise can also control tinnitus to a certain extent.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Of course, tinnitus may not be “eliminated” by a single method. It usually needs several methods. It is recommended to consult a professional otologist for symptomatic treatment.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
No loud, no tinnitus with earplugs
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
If you are a music enthusiast, listen to high volume music for a long time, or your work environment has high-intensity noise, these may cause tinnitus. So, it’s good for ears to try to avoid these noisy environments.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
However, the causes of tinnitus are various. People of different ages, races, health conditions and socio-economic backgrounds may have tinnitus, and there is usually no clear reason.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
In other words, even if you don’t listen to loud music and use earplugs to protect your hearing in noisy environments, that doesn’t mean you can avoid tinnitus.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
