Causes and symptoms
It is almost unrealistic to say exactly what can affect tinnitus. To do this, it is required to undergo a number of studies. Most often, the following factors are provocateurs of pathology:
- Associated otolaryngologic problems.
- Vascular problems.
- Cervical osteochondrosis.
- Uncontrolled use of medications.
- Constant sound stimuli, such as working under constant vibration or high noise levels.
- Nervous system abnormalities.
- Head injuries.
- Hypertension.
- Endocrinologic diseases.
- Stress
At the initial stage of the disease, a foreign sound in the ears may not be observed all the time. In the absence of treatment, tinnitus becomes chronic, that is, the noise becomes permanent. The pathological process can be recognized by such signs:
- The character of the noise can be different: clear, barely noticeable, loud, quiet, monotonous, etc.
- Sometimes it is accompanied by nausea and even vomiting.
- There may be an increase in blood pressure.
- Movement disorder.
- Hearing loss.
Diagnosis of tinnitus in Germany
As mentioned above, before deciding on further therapy, a full diagnosis is required. As a rule, it begins with a verbal interview. The patient is interviewed by an otolaryngologist, if necessary, the patient is sent for consultation with other narrow specialists. The doctor finds out how long the noise has been heard, what is its nature, whether there were provoking factors (a strong blow, recent ear diseases, etc.). Next, palpation of the ear area and the head as a whole is carried out. The doctor finds out if the patient has any painful sensations.
Then there are a number of instrumental and laboratory procedures to be undergone. These include such manipulations:
- Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the brain.
- Vascular ultrasound, primarily examining the cervical region.
- Blood and urine tests.
- Angiography.
- Otoscopy.
- Audiometry.
- Impedanceometry.

Methods of therapy are established individually for each patient. As a rule, further tactics directly depend on the cause that provoked the development of the disease. In German clinics, the following methods are in demand and effective:
- Medications. Different groups of medications are used, depending on the underlying cause. Drops, pills, injections, drips, etc. may be prescribed. Hormonal therapy shows good effectiveness.

- Tinnitus-Noiser. A device that creates a background sound. With its help it is possible to «trick» the brain. After exposure to the specific noise, tinnitus becomes tolerable and sometimes almost inaudible. In some cases, it disappears altogether.
- Hyperbaric oxygenation. A popular technique that leads to excellent results. It is based on exposure to oxygen under high pressure. The patient is immersed in a special barocamera. By sensation, further manipulation will resemble the effect of diving deep underwater. After leaving the barocamera, the patient breathes pure oxygen with the help of a special oxygen mask. This technique promotes regeneration of damaged cells.
- Neurostimulator. Its use is relevant only in cases where the nerve endings stop responding to brain signals.
