What causes tinnitus in sudden hearing loss?

1. have one's inner ear broken

The inner ear contains hair cells, which sense sound and transmit sound to the brain. In sudden hearing loss, the hair cells are destroyed by poor blood flow or viral neuritis, so sound is not transmitted properly.

2. Damage one's brain

The brain has two parts: the theoretical brain (the part that calmly analyzes and listens to sounds) and the emotional brain (the part that feels whether sounds are pleasant or unpleasant).
Sound can only be heard when there is proper coordination between the ear and the brain, but when hearing is suddenly impaired due to sudden hearing loss, the emotional brain is startled and anxious and activates to search for the range of sound that cannot be heard. As a result of trying hard to hear sounds, tinnitus in the inaudible range appears.

Tinnitus Anxiety/Theoretical and Emotional Brain

Why tinnitus is so hard to treat with doctor's care

Tinnitus is a sound created in the brain, so the more anxious the brain feels and thinks "tinnitus is dangerous and scary," the louder the tinnitus feels.
It gradually goes away by reassuring the brain that tinnitus is not a dangerous sound and by restoring hearing, but steroids do not eliminate the brain's anxiety.

*Restoring hearing improves tinnitus, but because the hearing loss is often intractable, most otolaryngologists are told that tinnitus cannot be cured.
*Although it is not well known, the side effects of steroids can cause depression, and the more depressed a person becomes, the louder the tinnitus.

Acupuncture can help with tinnitus in sudden hearing loss.

Audiometry

Most tinnitus is caused by hearing loss. From a different angle than a doctor, we do a full-scale Audiometry of bone and air conduction to select acupuncture points that will maximize the effects of acupuncture.
Check the distortion of the body

Patients with tinnitus that does not go away often have a distorted body, which puts pressure on the blood vessels that go to the inner ear. Therefore, acupuncture is used to correct the distortion.
Echographic examination

Tinnitus caused by hearing loss is often the result of abnormal blood flow to the inner ear, so acupuncture is performed using a circulatory echo to look for abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system and blood flow in the blood vessels to the inner ear.

Sequelae of sudden hearing loss

I should have started sooner.

I am a carpenter by trade, so the sound of nails being hammered into my brain was painful. When I was thinking of retiring, an acquaintance who had been cured of sudden hearing loss introduced me to Mr. Morigami, and after visiting him for a while, the sound and tinnitus were much better! I was also able to sleep soundly, and I felt motivated to live, wanting to do this and that!

Tinnitus in sudden hearing loss

I appreciate it.

I had to take care of my parents and from there I got sick and developed sudden hearing loss. The tests showed that I was under tremendous stress, Dr. Director told me. My tinnitus was so bad that I felt depressed every day, but after a few days of acupuncture treatment in a row, I started to feel better.

Tinnitus in sudden hearing loss

I think I can keep my job.

After being hospitalized and not being cured at a local acupuncture clinic, I came to Morigami Acupuncture and Osteopathy Clinic. I didn't want to worry my family too much, so I couldn't tell them how I was feeling, but the encouragement of the doctors helped me. Thanks to the treatment, I no longer have to worry about my tinnitus and my work efficiency has improved a lot. I think I will be able to continue working.
