Millions of people are affected by this debilitating condition that frankly does not receive enough funding compared to other conditions. Although it is not directly life threatening, it greatly affects the quality of life of sufferers, many of which can even become suicidal.
Hair Cell Damage
Tinnitus depends on a number of factors but in every case there is always some damage to the ear.
The inner ear contains a small organ known as the cochlea. This looks similar to the spiral shape of a snail’s shell and contains tiny hair cells.
Like grass on a football pitch, if a little force is applied to the hair cells then they will merely deflect but return to their original shape. However, if too much force is applied then the hair cells can become permanently damaged.
Timing
Long term and progressive hair cell damage can happen particularly if someone is within range of very loud noises for frequent and continuous periods. It can even happen from a single incident if it is loud enough.
Stress
Nearly all people who have tinnitus also suffer from stress. Greater stress also causes much higher intensity symptoms of tinnitus.
It is not clear why this is so but it is thought to be related to the circulation of the blood and how this links in with the hair cells and their connection to the brain via the nervous system.
What is known is that reducing your stress can relieve or even eliminate your tinnitus.
