Ear noise is one of the pathologies which is difficult to have the treatment and disturbing most people in the areas of ear, nose and throat. Tinnitus – in other situations is expressed as roaring noise, this is the way how the patients express hearing the unreal voices in one or both ears on in the skull gap. Sometimes these sounds disturb the patients in such a way that, it can violate their daily living and psychological condition. This sound even destroys sleeping regime of the patient. Usually, although there are no dangerous pathologies in the formation of noise, together with the loss of hearing it can be very dangerous pathology. For this reason tinnitus is very significant symptom.

Ear noise can be heard in a simple way - heard only in a silent environment or severe. It may be either continuous or with the breaks. It can be expressed by the patients in different ways such as water sound, wind sound, bell sound, whistle sound, fly sound and so on. Ear sound can also stay as usual or can increase due to the movement of jaw.

Classification of hear noise

1-Subjective noises

These are sounds felt only by the patient and not observed by any others around. Most of the noises of the ear are entered into this group and their treatment is very difficult. As, it is very difficult to determine its reason. Sometimes the reason of the ear sound is not physical changed but they can also psychological problems. İn this case its odor becomes more difficult

2-Objective ear noises

In this type of patients, the noise in their ear is heard both by the patient, doctor and surrounding people. To reveal the reasons of objective tinnitus is easier. Anterior – venous malformations such as aneurysm, thats vascular diseases include here. When the revealed cause is eliminated, noises are also eliminated.

Causes of subjective tinnitus

There are many causes for ear noise. They can be found from the simplest pathologies to the most serious ones or psychological problems. These causes are divided into two groups:

  1. Noises related to ear pathologies
    Patients with outer ear wax or other disorders, eardrum perforations, the collection of non-pyogenic liquid in the middle ear (serous otitis), acute middle ear infection, chronic middle ear infection, calcification in ear bones (otosclerosis and tympanosclerosis), middle ear tumors, diseases of the middle ear such as cholesteatoma, age related hearing loss, permanent hearing loss, Meniers disease, tumors of the inner ear, inner ear disorders as a result of ototoxic drug use, ear traumas.

  2. Noises formed due to reasons not related with ear
    Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, jaw joint disorders, thyroid disease, head and neck injuries, some head and neck tumors, antireumatic drugs, psychological problems.

The diagnosis of ear noise

The diagnosis of Tinnitus is difficult as its treatment. Diagnose for of subjective Tinnitus is based on the patients anamnesis. If the patient feels noise or roaring in his / her ear, it is enough for diagnosis. As, it is possible not to get objective complaint during the examination. As a result of examination or laboratory tests, if we cannot prove the existence of noises, we cannot say such patient theta there is no noise in your ear. If the patient feels so, then its cause should be deeply investigated. Obtaining the indicators that can explain the noise in the examination or laboratory tests of the patient help to diagnose more easily.

Diagnose for objective Tinnitus is easier than those which are subjective. As here, the patients Tinnitus can be heard by the doctor. Laboratory indicators in objective Tinnitus show themselves more vividly. For example, diagnose can be made easily with angiography in arterio – venous malformation.

Ear noise treatment

The treatment of Tinnitus is possible in some cases, though it is not possible in most cases. There is no difficulty in the treatment of Tinnitus of which causes are known. The pathology causing Tinnitus is eliminated and the disease is recovered. This only comprises 10 – 15 % of Tinnitus. And the thing which causes difficulty is the treatment of noises. And this comprises 80 – 85% of Tinnitus.

Here, some measures should be controlled orderly:

  1. It is explained to the patient not to pay so much attention to the noise that they hear.
  2. It is recommended to the patient to listen relaxing music in the noises which are felt mostly in the calm environment.
  3. They may take 1 tablet from non – addictive hypnotic drugs before sleeping.
  4. Cardiovascular expansion drugs which increase inner ear bleeding can be used.
  5. If it is too severe, hearing device can be used which masks Tinnitus.
