There is an electric sound in my ears

In daily life, sometimes we hear electric-like sounds in our ears, which is a manifestation of tinnitus. There are many reasons for tinnitus. It may be caused by inflammation or the nervous system. Severe tinnitus can affect people's normal life, work, and even sleep. Therefore, if you feel the sound of electric current in your ears, you must pay attention to it and seek timely treatment, otherwise it may cause deafness.

Tinnitus is not necessarily a problem with the ears themselves. Systemic diseases and the surrounding environment can also cause tinnitus.

Five factors that cause tinnitus

1. Stress: In recent years, the incidence of tinnitus among white-collar workers has increased significantly. Tinnitus is not only common among senior management personnel in companies, but many young white-collar workers are also troubled by it. The main manifestation is high-frequency tinnitus, similar to the sound of cicadas. Tinnitus among young and middle-aged people (especially white-collar workers) is mainly caused by high work pressure, lack of sleep and many social engagements.

2. Endocrine disorders: Menopausal women often complain of tinnitus, but hearing tests are normal. In addition to tinnitus, they also have some unexplained symptoms, such as tinnitus when touching the earlobes or tapping the scalp with their hands. It is currently believed that endocrine disorders, decreased estrogen, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction in menopausal women are the main causes of tinnitus.

3. Emotional instability: Tinnitus is very likely to occur in people with emotional instability. Tinnitus symptoms are often severe in people with anxiety and depression. Emotional instability can cause tinnitus, and conversely, persistent tinnitus can aggravate emotional instability.

4. Long-term noise exposure: The strongest sound that the human ear can withstand is usually 90 decibels. If it exceeds this limit, even if you cannot feel it, the fragile and sensitive inner ear has been damaged. Irregular and highly irritating noise can cause greater damage to hearing. The sound intensity in karaoke bars, discos and game halls often exceeds 115 decibels. If you are often in such an environment, you are likely to suffer from tinnitus.

5. Various diseases: mainly ear diseases, such as external ear diseases; vascular diseases can also cause tinnitus; tinnitus is also one of the important symptoms of some other systemic diseases, such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, autonomic nervous system disorders, cerebral blood supply deficiency, pre-stroke, hypertension, hypotension, anemia, diabetes, malnutrition, etc.
