The following are ten commandments to prevent tinnitus. I hope that people who have had this problem can effectively control and avoid tinnitus:
● Stay away from noise: In the industrialized social environment, there is a lot of noise, such as noise generated by railways, factories, car repairs, airports, air conditioners, motors and cars in ordinary life. Exposure to noise for too long will unconsciously cause inner ear nerve damage and tinnitus.
● Beware of loud voices: cannons, sharpshooters, headphones and walkman, firecrackers, rock music, disco and electrical appliances. , will cause tinnitus and hard of hearing due to mechanical and acoustic vibration waves. Stay away from speakers and other sound sources and wear earplugs to reduce the occurrence of injuries.
● No drinking: After many patients give up drinking, tinnitus will naturally recover. As for a little coffee and tea, it doesn't hurt. Because the inner ear is located in the deep part of the skull, the blood vessels are very slender and small, and blood and nutrients almost penetrate into the inner ear full of nerves in a slow way. Alcohol slowly stays in the inner ear cavity with blood, which will destroy the most sensitive and fragile inner ear nerve and cause tinnitus and hard of hearing. Although some people say that drinking red wine is good for the heart and alcohol can promote blood circulation, the blood in the heart is different from that in the inner ear. It quickly enters and exits the tough myocardium and the heart with fewer nerves, so the possibility of injury is very small.
● Don't overeat and eat salty food: big fish and big meat lead to high cholesterol and hyperlipidemia, so blood vessels are blocked and circulation is not smooth, which leads to blocked metabolism in the inner ear and nerve damage and atrophy. Eating too much salt causes sodium ion retention, resulting in systemic edema and lymphedema in the inner ear, which is equivalent to Meniere's disease. At this time, diuretics must be used to eliminate salt and water to prevent permanent damage to the inner ear.
● Avoid work stress: excessive brain use and insufficient rest. Many of the patients are engineers, accountants, computer designers or supervisors. They are often prone to tinnitus and dizziness due to overwork and work performance.
● Lack of sleep: Lack of sleep is the biggest headache for tinnitus, which leads to tinnitus, and severe tinnitus affects sleep. Tinnitus aggravates, vicious circle. The easiest way is to calm down, even if you can't sleep, you should close your eyes and have a rest, or make up sleep during the day.
● Avoid anxiety and eliminate tension: Anger out of control will cause autonomic nerve abnormality, systemic tension and abnormal vasoconstriction, thus causing diseases such as atrophy of inner ear nerve. If you can adjust yourself and achieve a state of physical and mental balance with a normal heart, the symptoms will naturally disappear.
● Don't refuse to see a doctor: Tinnitus will heal in the early stage. After years of patient medication, most patients' conditions were effectively controlled and their hearing was improved. In recent years, the development of new drugs, such as vasoactive drugs, neurotrophic drugs and nerve cell regeneration drugs, has achieved considerable results. Other drugs injected into middle ear cavity and surgical treatment have also achieved considerable results. Please don't give up your rights and opportunities.
● Avoid using toxic drugs: such as streptomycin for tuberculosis, quinine for malaria, diuretics, aspirin for cardiovascular disease prevention and various anticancer drugs can all cause tinnitus symptoms. When taking any medicine with abnormal symptoms, you should consult the attending physician to adjust the medicine.
● Beware of head trauma: There are many middle-aged and elderly people, and head tissues and inner ear gods are often injured by head collision or trauma, and then tinnitus begins to attack. Therefore, we must be careful to prevent head shock injury.
