Diagnosis and treatment of ringing in the ears<\/h3>\n

Permanent or intermittent ringing in the ears can have a significant impact on daily life. The constant whistling, buzzing or hissing can make it difficult to fall asleep and lead to restless sleep. This often leads to general tiredness and exhaustion during the day. Tinnitus can also cause concentration problems, as the constant background noise can make it difficult to focus on tasks. In addition, tinnitus often increases stress and anxiety, as those affected do not know how to deal with the noise. Social interactions also often suffer, as hearing and understanding conversations, especially in noisy environments, is complicated. Many sufferers withdraw and participate less in social activities.<\/p>\n

The constant presence of tinnitus can lead to emotional stress such as frustration, irritability and even depression. The feeling of helplessness in the face of uncontrollable noise takes a heavy toll on emotional health. But you don't necessarily have to live with ringing in your ears - in many cases, something can be done about it. In our ENT clinic in Frankfurt<\/a> we are very experienced with ringing in the ears and tinnitus therapy. We have already been able to help numerous patients achieve more peace and quiet.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

Diagnostics for ringing in the ears<\/h3>\n

The diagnosis of tinnitus involves several steps. We determine the causes and the extent of the symptoms.<\/p>\n

Medical history interview<\/h5>\n

We start with a detailed anamnesis interview. We record your medical history and discuss the type, duration, possible triggers, accompanying symptoms and intensity of your ringing in the ears.<\/p>\n

Physical examination<\/h5>\n

This is followed by a physical examination, during which we inspect your ears, nose and throat.<\/p>\n

Hearing test<\/h5>\n

We use audiometry to determine your hearing threshold and check your speech comprehension. Specialised tinnitus tests determine the frequency and volume of your tinnitus. You can find out more here: Hearing and dizziness diagnostics Frankfurt<\/a><\/p>\n

Possibly further examinations<\/h5>\n

If the results are unclear, we can arrange for further examinations such as MRI or CT. The aim here is to rule out structural changes. Blood tests allow us to recognise inflammation or metabolic disorders, for example.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

Tinnitus therapy in Frankfurt: We offer you these options<\/h3>\n

Cortisone therapy<\/h5>\n

Treatment with anti-inflammatory substances (Cortisone<\/a>) is used here as oral tablet therapy and less frequently as infusion therapy. The active ingredient is intended to restore microcirculation in the inner ear. The therapy is possible on an outpatient basis in our ENT practice clinic in Frankfurt.<\/p>\n

Counselling for permanent ringing in the ears<\/h5>\n

If, despite all the measures taken, you still have permanent hearing loss and\/or hearing noise, we will of course be happy to provide you with further advice.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, there is tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT), for example, which can help you get used to chronic tinnitus. We will also be happy to advise you on relaxation and wellness therapy as well as pain and sports therapy.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

You've probably experienced it before: your ear whistles, buzzes or hisses for a few seconds or minutes - then the noise disappears again. This is perfectly normal. However, if the ringing in the ears is permanent or occurs repeatedly over a longer period of time, we speak of tinnitus. The sounds that are perceived are not triggered by the environment, but arise in the patient's own body.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

\r\n\r\n\t \r\n What causes or triggers can tinnitus have? <\/span>\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/span>\r\n<\/span>\r\n<\/h4>\r\n

Physical factors
\n<\/b>The causes of tinnitus can lie in underlying physical illnesses: for example, cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis, cardiac arrhythmia or high blood pressure or the metabolic disease diabetes can lead to impaired blood flow to the ear.<\/p>\n

In addition, inflammation in the body, autoimmune diseases or diseases of the ears can affect the normal processes in the body, resulting in tinnitus. Other common causes are the condition following a sudden loss of hearing, trauma from a bang or explosion, injuries to the eardrum or an earwax plug.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t

Nowadays, many people sit at the computer and don't move enough. This results in tension in the neck, cervical spine and back. These complaints can also cause tinnitus. Another possible cause is craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD), a functional disorder in the interaction between the temporomandibular joints, chewing muscles and teeth.<\/p>\n

Possible, albeit rare, triggers for tinnitus are a traumatic brain injury, a benign tumour of the auditory nerve (so-called acoustic neuroma), poisoning of the inner ear (e.g. by antibiotics), multiple sclerosis or Meni\u00e8re's disease, a rare unilateral disease of the inner ear with severe rotary vertigo.<\/p>\n

Psychological factors
\n<\/b>Tinnitus can also be a reaction to stress caused by overwork at work, conflicts in a relationship or other situations that trigger pressure, for example. During prolonged stress, the body releases more of the hormone cortisol. This leads to poorer blood circulation in the inner ear.<\/p>\n

Factors of unknown origin
\n<\/b>In some cases, we cannot recognise any clear physical or psychological causes in the patient that could have triggered the tinnitus. If this form of ringing in the ears is present, it can be compared to \"phantom pain\". In this case, after a limb has been amputated, the patient feels pain exactly where the leg or arm was removed. In the case of tinnitus with no recognisable cause, spontaneous activity of brain cells seems to take place when the \"correct\" nerve information is no longer available or is too weak.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
