Tinnitus
Some information about Tinnitus (ringing in the ears), including nutrient and herbal suggestions for treatment.
Quote:
Tinnitus is experienced when damage to the fine cell hairs connected to the nerves of the inner ear are in a constant state of irritation. As a result, the stimulation of the auditory nerve is random and spontaneous, instead of occurring as a direct consequence of sound waves transmitted to the inner ear. These random electrical impulses are interpreted as noise. High-frequency ringing is experienced because cell hair damage responds in the high-frequency range.
Although this condition is common in the elderly due to age-related hearing loss, it's mostly caused by noise induced ear damage. Concussions, cranial/cervical fractures, whiplash, TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint problems), and stress related grinding of teeth may all promote Tinnitus.
Hyperthyroid, an elevated heart-rate and increased blood flow through the ear may also cause ringing. Tinnitus can be a symptom of Meniere's disease.
A transient Tinnitus can follow a cold or flu, but may subside months after the infection is gone.
Muscle spasms, stress, tension and excessive consumption of caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, aspartame or aspirin may aggravate this condition. Causes also include ear infections, wax in the ear and nasal allergies.
