5 reasons that can cause tinnitus

  1. Changes in blood pressure.

When the force with which the flow of your blood presses against the walls of blood vessels changes, it affects the supply of circulation to the inner ear, where the hearing aid’s sensitive receptors are located. In such cases, a person may experience an unpleasant ringing sound in the ears, which disappears once all the indicators return to normal. People often notice the appearance of this symptom after sudden changes in body position, intense physical exertion, or strong stress. In addition, the appearance of such an unpleasant sensation in the ears caused by high blood pressure can also be accompanied by headaches, a feeling of heaviness in the head and heart palpitations. If you regularly experience such unpleasant symptoms, you should carefully monitor changes in your indicators and consult a doctor if necessary. If necessary, the specialist will prescribe medications (for example Abel-40, Amlip-10, Amlopres-10) that will help to normalize the indicators and improve your condition.

  1. Stressful situations.

During emotional tension, certain processes occur in the body: heart rate increases, muscles become more tense, and even body temperature may rise. All these factors can disrupt blood circulation in the inner ear, leading to ringing and noise. When stress becomes chronic, the situation worsens even more, as the nervous system remains in a constant state of tension. As a result, this can cause increased sensitivity of the auditory system, turning temporary ear noise into a persistent problem. To reduce the risk of this unpleasant symptom, it is important to incorporate relaxation techniques, engage in moderate physical activity, and monitor your emotional state.

  1. Metabolic diseases, such as kidney disease or diabetes.

These diseases can be one of the causes of tinnitus. This happens due to the accumulation of toxins in the body and impaired circulation. For example, certain kidney diseases can cause swelling throughout the body, which negatively affects the vessels of the inner ear and provokes this unpleasant symptom. Changes in sugar levels, in turn, can cause damage to small blood vessels, which impairs the supply of oxygen to the auditory nerve. To reduce the risk of this symptom, it is important to monitor blood sugar levels, take care of kidney health, and prevent dehydration.  Additionally, if you have been diagnosed with diabetes, it is important to follow the prescribed treatment and regularly take medications (such as Glyciphage-500, Glucobay, Jardiance) to prevent the onset of unpleasant symptoms.

  1. Rheumatoid arthritis.

In most cases, the inflammatory processes that occur in this disease significantly disrupt certain processes in the ears. This can trigger the appearance of an unpleasant sound, as the auditory system is highly sensitive to changes in blood circulation. Additionally, some medications used to treat rheumatoid arthritis can cause side effects, with tinnitus being quite common. Taking medications that reduce inflammation can also cause an imbalance of body fluids, which can negatively affect hearing function. If tinnitus occurs due to rheumatoid arthritis, it is important to consult a doctor for treatment adjustments. A doctor may suggest symptom relief methods or modify the therapy to reduce medication side effects. Regular monitoring and timely treatment corrections can help prevent serious hearing problems and improve quality of life.

  1. Changes in weather conditions.

Sudden weather changes have a significant impact on the blood vessels of the inner ear, which can lead to discomfort and unfamiliar sounds in the ears for the person affected. For example, a sudden drop in atmospheric pressure, often occurring before rain or a storm, can alter blood circulation in the body, impacting the function of the auditory system. Additionally, in windy or cold weather, blood vessels may constrict, disrupting the blood supply to the inner ear and causing temporary ringing or even a feeling of ear congestion. People with cardiovascular issues or those prone to migraines are particularly sensitive to such changes. To minimize the impact of weather on hearing, it is advisable to avoid sudden temperature shifts, dress warmly in colder seasons, and monitor overall well-being during weather changes.
