The Importance of Pinpointing Tinnitus Causes

Believe it or not, there are millions of people worldwide who are suffering from tinnitus. However annoying it is, let's understand that tinnitus is just a condition and not a disease itself. There are various causes for tinnitus, and the ability to pinpoint your root cause will mean the difference between success and failure in your tinnitus cure. Here, we will discuss some of the most common tinnitus causes in detail.

Common Tinnitus Causes #1 - Exposure to Noise

This is the most common root cause of tinnitus. Loud noises cause damage to the inner ear and the mechanics of how you hear. This can lead to cochlea damage, hearing loss and tinnitus. Sometimes the tinnitus is temporary and sometimes it is permanent.

Some types of noise exposure that can cause tinnitus include:

* stereos/ loud car stereos
* bands, concerts, pubs and clubs
* construction
* MP3 players such as the Apple iPod
* gunshots/explosions
* industrial noise such as factories, airports etc

Common Tinnitus Causes #2 - Earwax Removal

Many people are not aware of the fact that earwax removals can lead to tinnitus. The removal process can affect the structure of the ear canal and affect your hearing.

You should not have an earwax removal or perform an at-home earwax removal unless your doctor suggests it is completely doable. If you must have an earwax removal procedure because the buildup of earwax is causing problems for you, be sure to have it done only by a trained professional and be aware of signs of tinnitus afterwords.

Common Tinnitus Causes #3 - A Blow to The Head

Experiencing a blow to the head can lead to tinnitus, especially if that blow rendered you unconscious or caused a concussion. Being in a car accident, even one where your airbags deploy, having dental surgery, a sports accident or a fight can all lead to cochlear damage which can cause tinnitus.

Common Tinnitus Causes #4 - Ear Infections

Severe or repeated ear infections can lead to tinnitus. Often after an infected ear, a person may begin to notice tinnitus. At first, they think it is part of the recovery from the ear infection and usually it is. However, for many people, it never goes away.

Common Tinnitus Causes #5 - Stress

Stress is a large contributing factor of tinnitus. Sometimes the stress causes the tinnitus and other times it increases the effects of a type of tinnitus that already existed from some previous cause. Either way, stress makes tinnitus worse. We have stress from many different places in our life and it is pretty much impossible to completely remove all the stress in your life but there are some things you can do to reduce or to manage it.

Some causes of stress that may lead to tinnitus include:
* traumatic life events
* loss of job/laid off
* work stress
* income/financial pressure
* new baby/addition to the family
* moves or change of job
* everyday life

Common Tinnitus Causes #6 - Sinus Infections or Problems

If you have frequent sinus problems or allergies and later experience ringing in the ears, you can guess that this may be your root cause. This type of tinnitus is a result of a thickening of the mucous in the middle ear.

Mucous membranes surround the middle ear that perform a vital function to normal hearing and ear function. These mucous membranes produce mucous which cleanses the middle ear. Ideally, this mucous then drains out of the middle ear via the Eustachian tubes and into the throat once its job is done. However, this mucous will and can accumulate in the middle ear as a result of the mucous becoming too thick and viscous.
