Most commonly, tinnitus is caused by exposure to noise. Working in noisy surroundings for many years without using special protective equipment increases the risk of developing tinnitus as well as hearing loss. Leisure activities may also trigger tinnitus. This includes anything from the extensive use of MP3 players to chain saws and musical instruments. Aging rock stars typically suffer from tinnitus after having spent years in front of gigantic loudspeakers without hearing protection. Concert audiences exposed to high noise levels are in the danger zone, as well. It is always advisable to use ear plugs when attending concerts or taking part in other noisy activities. Also, people who use firearms are at high risk. Anybody can suffer from ringing in his/her ears after exposure to excessive or loud noise. When this happens it is advisable to seek quieter surroundings or wear hearing protection.

Use hearing protection

Earplugs or other hearing protection often prevents tinnitus that otherwise would be caused by excessive noise. You should always wear hearing protection when subjected to loud noise, even if you do not find the noise uncomfortable. Hearing loss at higher frequencies is often painless, and the most common result is tinnitus. You should also bear in mind that the damaging effect on the hair cells in the inner ear is accumulated over time. After constant exposure to excessive noise, it takes less to develop tinnitus or hearing loss. Even a single incident of exposure to an extremely loud noise, such as fireworks or other explosions or a gun shot fired close to the ear can trigger hearing loss or tinnitus.

Other causes

Other causes of tinnitus may include:

Blows to your head Large doses of certain drugs such as aspirin Stress Compacted ear wax Middle ear infections Age Menièrè’s disease Head trauma Perilymp fistula (a hole in the inner ear, allowing fluid to escape) Certain types of tumours Dysfunction of the joint connecting the jaw to the bone under the ear

Living with tinnitus can be difficult. Treatment and coping strategies can help. Here is some simple advice which may help you cope with the constant noise of tinnitus:

Avoid anxiety or stress, as these stimulate an already sensitive hearing system. Have adequate rest and avoid fatigue. Avoid the use of stimulants to the nervous system, including coffee (caffeine), alcohol, and smoking (nicotine). Sleep with your head propped up in an elevated position. This may usually be accomplished with the use of one or two extra pillows. This lessens head congestion, and tinnitus may become less noticeable. Be aware that tinnitus is usually more noticeable after retiring for the night and the surroundings are quieter. Any noise in the room, such as a ticking clock or softly playing radio, helps to mask tinnitus and make it less irritating. Use a tinnitus masker if you find this helpful Some people benefit by using a hearing aid as it amplifies outside noise (like masking) Avoid situations that can further damage hearing (excessive noise), and protect your ears from injury and occupational hazards. Use protective ear wear when appropriate. Some people receive considerably relief in alternative therapies Counseling may be beneficial, especially if people are afraid that they have a serious or progressive disease, such as a brain tumor. Some people worry they may have a mental illness, because the noise is "in their head." Reassurance by a specialist helps to calm such fears and anxieties.

Occasionally, the cause of tinnitus can be treated. For instance, if the noise in the ears is caused by a middle ear infection, antibiotics may solve the problem. Source: Living with tinnitus from ehealthMD

Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) is a process of learning to cope with your tinnitus on a conscious and subconscious level. This technique has helped a lot of people. This therapy can be compared to the sound of raindrops falling on a roof being noticed when it first starts raining, but going unnoticed and put out of mind after some time. TRT requires close co-operation with hearing professionals. The therapy is employed at the perceived source of the tinnitus and aims to teach the brain to ignore it. TRT combines three significant therapeutic steps: 1. Extensive collection of information about the patient, including patient history and daily living habits. 2. Use of devices worn behind the ear and generating broad-band noise to divert attention of the patient away from the tinnitus. 3. Psychological therapy teaching the patient to ignore the tinnitus noise. This is combined with deep relaxation exercises and stress management. The object is the elimination of the patient's anxiety, so that the tinnitus is no longer perceived as a danger, thus diverting the concentration away from the tinnitus noise. The end goal is complete habituation of the noise. The duration of the treatment varies depending on the treatment facility involved.
