Unilateral tinnitus

What do you want to know about TINNITUS?

Do you know that about 10% to 17% of the world's population is affected by tinnitus? Only about 44 million Americans have the disease, and about 12 million are serious cases. The Canadian Tinnitus Association reported more than 5 million cases of tinnitus.

Tinnitus is a condition in which there is an auditory sensation without external noise. It is often referred to as head tinnitus because the noise seems to come from inside the head. The frequency, volume and sound of the noise vary from person to person. Some people will hear clang and some will squeak. Some people will hear growls and other snoring or harsh sounds.

Unilateral TINNITUS

People with tinnitus can experience these sounds in one or both ears. This means that the tinnitus can be unilateral or bilateral. Unilateral tinnitus is a type of tinnitus in which ringing and/or noise can only be heard on one ear. On the other hand, when earrings are heard in both ears, bilateral tinnitus is a kind of tinnitus.

Unilateral tinnitus is the most common type of tinnitus and can be caused by a range of conditions including, but not limited to, affected earwax, ear infections, and auditory trauma. It is generally considered to be the subjective form of tinnitus, and unilateral tinnitus is mainly derived from the auditory pathway. Tinnitus can be detected in different situations due to the disorder of the external catheter of the ear.

Reasons for single-sided TINNITUS

There are many reasons for causing unilateral tinnitus. The most common of these are:

• Affected earwax - Excessive earwax caused by hygienic supervision and/or neglect due to a disorder, or earwax attached to the eardrum, causes one ear to continue to ring. It is recommended that the affected earwax be removed by a doctor or medical practitioner. Any attempt to remove it by itself will not only exacerbate the condition, but will also cause some irreversible and serious damage to our ears.


• Ear infections - Acute ear infections are usually caused by mild but persistent ear pain with mild hearing difficulties. The infection is caused by inflammation of the middle ear and cannot discharge fluid. When the body produces more fluid in the infected area, we hear a pulsating sound that can be treated with prescription drugs.


• Unilateral tinnitus may also occur if the ear infection is caused by taking antibiotics. These antibiotics are considered to be ototoxic drugs, usually one of aminoguanidine, diuretics and analgesics.


• Hearing trauma - When the ear is impacted by the ear, small bones on the cochlea, auditory nerves and hair-like cells may be damaged. Because of this effect, the middle ear cannot send the correct data to the brain, and the brain will continue to explain the error signals sent by these damaged components. Continued exposure to loud noise and abuse of the entertainment system can damage your ears.

It is important to diagnose unilateral tinnitus early and seek medical help as soon as possible. This type of tinnitus can be permanently relieved or prevented. Please talk to your audiologist for more information or read more about one-sided tinnitus on the website below.
