Tinnitus is more common than you might imagine. Tinnitus is much more common is people in middle to later life than it is in younger people, so increased tinnitus awareness may occur coincidentally with other age-related factors. Changes in the levels of hormones circulating in the body during menopause may affect tinnitus awareness through some unknown action. Tinnitus annoyance may be aggravated by some symptoms of menopause such as mood changes.
Tinnitus could have a connection to memory problems, anxiety, fatigue or a general state of poor health. Tinnitus and hearing loss can be permanent conditions, and therefore precautionary measures are advisable. Tinnitus can have many different causes, but most commonly results from otologic disorders " the same conditions that cause hearing loss.
Most people with tinnitus have hearing loss in that they are often unable to properly hear external sounds which occur within the same range of frequencies as their "phantom sounds. The term "tinnitus" usually refers to more severe cases. Heller and Bergman (1953) conducted a study of 100 tinnitus-free university students placed in an anechoic chamber and found that 93% reported hearing a buzzing, pulsing or whistling sound. For research purposes, the more elaborate Tinnitus Handicap Inventory is often used.
While most discussions of tinnitus tend to stress physical mechanisms, there is strong evidence that the level of an individual's awareness of their tinnitus can be stress-related, and so should be addressed by improving the state of the nervous system generally, using gradual, unobtrusive, long-term treatments.
There are many treatments for tinnitus that have been claimed, with varying degrees of statistical reliability. Low-pitched sound treatment has shown some positive, encouraging results.
If someone is experiencing tinnitus symptoms, they should seek treatment immediately.
