Tips for fixing ringing in one ear

Many people in life may have had this experience: one ear keeps buzzing. In fact, there are many reasons for tinnitus. In this case, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time, find out the cause and take medicine under the guidance of a doctor. If not treated in time, it is easy to cause the disease to worsen and then affect people's hearing. It is best not to take medicine blindly by yourself, so as not to miss the best treatment time.

How to deal with tinnitus

1. After a haircut, broken hair falls into the ear canal. Since one end can touch the eardrum, you will hear a sound similar to that of a drum when you touch the back of your ear with your hand. After removing the hair, the tinnitus disappears.

2. There will be short-term tinnitus and ear stuffiness when flying on an airplane, climbing a mountain, or getting angry. This is caused by negative pressure in the middle ear. The structure connecting the middle ear and the nasal cavity is called the Eustachian tube. Many people have similar experiences. Pinch the nose to blow air, open your mouth and lift your chin, press the tragus with your fingers, and the Eustachian tube will be unblocked, and the tinnitus and ear stuffiness will be cured.

3. If someone's tinnitus is pulsating and synchronized with his or her pulse, be careful of glomus jugular tumor. The tumor needs to be removed surgically for the tinnitus to disappear.

4. If someone's tinnitus is accompanied by sensorineural hearing loss or facial paralysis, be careful of acoustic neuroma. In the early stages of acoustic neuroma (generally less than 1 cm), there is no need for craniotomy and gamma knife irradiation treatment is possible. If it is thought to be kidney deficiency or inflammation and diagnosis and treatment are delayed, a larger acoustic neuroma will not only increase the threat to the patient's life, but also increase the risk and difficulty of surgery.

How to self-massage for tinnitus

1. Auricular acupoint massage

Use your thumb or middle finger to press the three acupoints in front of the ear (Ermen, Tinggong, Tinghui), Yifeng and Fengchi acupoints behind the ear, and press until you feel a sore and swollen feeling at the local acupoints, and press each acupoint for 30 seconds.

2. Comb your hair and wipe your ears

Use the ten fingers of both hands to comb your hair from the front hairline to the back. When you reach the back of the head, place your palms against the back of the earlobes. Use both hands to wipe from the earlobes to the cheeks on both sides respectively. Repeat for dozens of times.

3. Tinnitus masking method

Cover your left and right ears with your palms to isolate the ear canals from the outside air. Place your fingers on the back of your head and press the back of your middle finger with the tip of your index finger. Let the index finger slide down from the middle finger. Use this to tap the hairline on the back of your neck. You can hear a twanging sound, like beating the sky drum, also called "ming tiangu". Hit it dozens of times.

4. Palm Deafening Method

Rub your hands together to warm them up, place your palms close to your ears, and then suddenly release them. You will hear a "bang" sound, which should be deafening. Repeat this dozens of times.

5. Pull the ears with both hands

Make fists with both hands, pinch the earlobe with the thumb and index finger and pull downwards, with the thumb at the back and the index finger bent in front, pull dozens of times. Then spread out the index and middle fingers of both hands, and rub the base of the ears with the middle finger in front and the index finger in the back. One up and one down counts as one time, and rub it dozens of times in total.

Do the above movements twice a day, once after getting up in the morning and before going to bed at night. About 10 minutes at a time. Massage techniques can invigorate the brain and ears, and are more effective for those who suffer from headaches, tinnitus, and a feeling of blockage in the ears. But the key is to persist, otherwise the effect will not be good.
