Hyperacusis Tinnitus
My tinnitus details are, hyperacusis and a constant hissing (buzzing?) in the ears which was uniform until recent times, but it now has a kind of regular higher amplitude that last for a fraction of a second. I have sinus and alergy problem. But I have noticed that I have become very sensitive to noise; I don't know if it is the cause or the effect of my tinnitus problem. I had root canal treatment and dental surgery (removal of tooth) within two years prior to the time I noticed the buzzing noises in my ear. Any help will be highly appreciated. Hello Aris, The noises (hissing, buzzing) that you are describing are typical of cochlear damage. Tinnitus and a reducd tolerance to sounds are symptoms of cochlear damage as is high frequency hearing loss. The hyperacusis you are experiencing is also typical of this type of damage to the cochlear. It is normally as a result of exposure to noise. I bet you didn't realize that there are millions of teensy-weensy nerve endings in the cochlea that are influenced by the great pressures of waves of sound resulting from noise. When a sound is perceived by your ears and these minute hairs start moving, impulses are sent via the auditory nerve which your brain deciphers as a noise. The stimulation stimulates a stirring of our infinitesimal hair, very similar to to a wheat field on a farm agitating in concert with the wind. The microscopic nerve cells the petite auditory nerves are very easily damaged when you are exposed sudden to loud noise. The nerve damage is automatically worsened if you have played in a orchestra or a rock band for a long time. These sensitive organs can also be damaged because of a bad blow on to the head. One's tiny hairs often get bent out of shape or even chipped and then randomly send electric pulses directly to the brain which interprets them as a sound, even though there might be an absence of sound. Noise related cochlear damage tinnitis leading to tinnitis can also be caused from ear wax removals, ear candling, scuba diving, sports injuries, nasal passage surgery also from ear infections. Impaired hearing is most certainly irremediable although the tinnitus remedies have proved to be
