Ringing in the ear affects millions of people around the world. In Spain alone, it is estimated that 20% of the population suffers from them, especially those living in urban areas. What causes them? How to combat them? We will now answer these questions.

Why do you hear the beeps in your ear?

A ringing in the ear is not a disease, but rather a consequence. When you hear a buzzing sound, also called tinnitus, it is because there is a problem apart from the persistent sound. In fact 70% of cases are due to hearing loss.

Muscle injuries are also related to whistling. It is normal to feel them if you have suffered a head trauma or muscle impingement. Another cause may be poor blood circulation. If the blood does not flow normally, there may also be a ringing noise.

If an infection occurs, it is normal to hear a ringing in the ear. It may be an ear or airway infection. In both cases, tinnitus is one of the effects, especially if there is inflammation or mucus.

Temporary deafness produces tinnitus for a time. It is normal to feel a ringing in the ear after exposure to loud noise for a long time. The same happens with the consumption of some medicines, they produce hearing loss and aggravate the sensation of tinnitus.

How to treat ringing in the ear?

A ringing in the ear can be treated in different ways, depending on what causes it. The best way to combat them is prevention. Avoid swabs, head injuries, and prolonged loud noises to avoid them.

If you are already suffering from them, see a professional. If it is caused by an injury or illness, they must be treated first to eliminate the ringing in the ear. You should also know if you suffer from hearing loss. If the problem arises from the use of a specific medication, you should seek another treatment.

When hearing loss is the cause, it is best to get hearing aids that help restore the ability to hear clearly. At Claso we have more than a hundred different models for you to choose from. Visit one of our stores or go to our website and ask us a question.
