After reading about a lot of treatments for tinnitus, we came to know that there is no tinnitus cure but according to the latest research, scientists have started to believe that they are near to find a tinnitus cure by understanding the root cause of ringing in the ears and significant progress has been made regarding this research. Brain areas that process sound have over excitable nerves which are directly related to the problem of hearing loss according to the studies. On the basis on neuroscience reports, we have come to know that people are plagued with tinnitus caused due to uncontrolled nerve activity and with gene changes, it appears to be down.
If nerve activity is silenced, the hope of treatment for tinnitus is raised as said by the experts but Australian researchers believe that ultimately their studies and findings will help people with tinnitus. One of the Belgian neurosurgeons tried to normalize the overactive neurons by implanting electrodes into the brain of the people suffering from tinnitus. Some results came out to be successful but an unusual body experience was reported by his patients as a side effect of the treatment.
Tinnitus is basically caused by the increased activity that is happening inside the brain in the auditory brainstem where processing of sounds take place. Activity of the nerve cells are regulated by the genes and increased activity in the brain is linked with the changes in the genes which affects the nerve cells, thus causing symptoms of tinnitus. These studies proved to get a step closer in finding the cure for tinnitus but they have not yet found the exact tinnitus cure.
In order to prevent tinnitus, you need to take care of certain things which include protection from excessive noise, use of cotton swabs for cleaning your ear and many others. The use of objects for cleaning your ear causes an impact of wax against your eardrum which leads to becoming a cause for tinnitus. Follow occupational safety and health regulations to protect your hearing at work if you are working in noisy environment and ear plugs or earmuffs should be worn. Use hear protection or minimize noise levels if it is bothering your ears such as in large crowded places like concerts, sporting events, clubs etc. Certain activities can also require protection such as every day noises including those of hair dryer, using a drill machine or a lawnmower. You need to make sure your ears are not exposed to excessive noise which can become a cause of tinnitus.
Tinnitus can also be treated using natural methods instead of surgeries and medication. But no one has yet been able to find a tinnitus cure and people are still working on its research.
