What's going on with long-term tinnitus, buzzing ears

Long-term tinnitus and ear buzzing are considered to be caused by cerumen embolism, otitis externa, purulent otitis media, hypertension, Meniere's disease, etc.

1. Cerumen embolization:

It is considered to be caused by the vigorous secretion of cerumen glands and the impaired discharge of cerumen, which will form a mass after excessive accumulation, and will also cause long-term tinnitus and ear buzzing after blocking the external auditory canal.

2. Otitis externa:

It may be caused by ear picking, sewage entering the ear, etc., and the bacteria multiply in the external auditory canal in large quantities, which will cause swelling of the skin of the external auditory canal, and in severe cases, it may also cause pressure on the eardrum, causing patients to have long-term tinnitus and ear buzzing.

3. Purulent otitis media:

It is caused by a bacterial infection, and symptoms such as pulsatile ear pain, pus, and hearing loss may occur, and long-term tinnitus and ear buzzing may occur after pus irritates the eardrum.

4. High blood pressure:

It is considered to be caused by genetic and environmental factors, and the blood supply to the brain will be affected by the increase in blood pressure after the disease, and it will also cause local vasospasm, with symptoms such as long-term tinnitus, ear buzzing, dizziness, and headache.

5. Meniere's disease:

It may be caused by mechanical obstruction of endolymphatic vessels, abnormal immune response, etc., and after the disease, it will cause hydrops in the membranous labyrinth, dizziness, hearing loss, long-term tinnitus, ear buzzing and other symptoms.

Patients need to pay attention to rest, not do strenuous exercise, and also need to strengthen the body to keep warm.
