Noise-Induced Tinnitus • Ears Ringing After Concert |
| Noise-induced tinnitus, such as ears ringing after concert, is caused by damage (acoustic trauma) to the cochlea of the inner ear, and it is the leading cause of tinnitus today, accounting for approximately 85% of all tinnitus causes. |
| If you are suffering tinnitus, the overwhelming odds are that noise or loud sound damage lies behind your symptoms, and as occurrences of tinnitus rise, it is evident that those odds will also continue to rise. It's easy to understand why. Our industrial and technological culture is producing a very noisy world, and there seems to be little awareness about the danger of noise-induced tinnitus and hearing loss. In most cases, noise-induced tinnitus can be prevented by avoidance of loud noise or by wearing protective devices, such as ear muffs or ear plugs whenever exposed. |
| Noise-induced tinnitus can come about in two basic ways: |
|
First, a single, sudden exposure to extremely loud noise, such as what is produced by an explosion or gunfire at close range, can destroy the tiny hair cells, called stereocilia, inside the cochlea of the inner ear, and that can cause hearing distortions and hearing loss, and engender tinnitus symptoms. |
| |
| Second, prolonged and repeated exposure to loud sounds, such as what is experienced in a machine shop, rock concert, or night club, can also damage stereocilia and cause tinnitus, though usually more gradually over time. |
| With prolonged exposure, in the absence of protection, the onset of ear tinnitus is gradual and intermittent in the beginning. For example, ears ringing after concert of loud music or a long day at the machine shop, one may experience dulled hearing and mild ear ringing for a brief period. With repeated exposures to loud sound, the intermittent pattern may continue for months or even years, while the noise-induced tinnitus gradually becomes more noticeable and longer lasting. Eventually, the ear ringing becomes constant, and further exposures to loud sounds aggravate the tinnitus until the ear ringing begins to interfere with daily living, often exceeding one's ability to cope with it. |
| Recently, the media has begun paying attention to why people complain about ears ringing after concert, especially with the advent of the incredibly loud iPod and related sound systems, using ear buds which are headphones that actually sit in the concha, the cup shaped area around the ear canal in the center of the outer ear. When used properly, at safe volume levels, ear buds can deliver sound to the listener very beautifully. However, listening at excessive volume levels can do real damage. Not only is it possible to subject oneself to dangerous sound strength for long periods but, because of the way the ear buds sit in the concha, the sound is directly funneled to the ear drum for maximum impact, in this case for doing damage that is often irreparable. |
| It should be added here that the stereocilia of the cochlea also tend to degenerate with aging, a condition called presbycusis. Noise-induced tinnitus symptoms acquired in earlier years, then, often become worse in later years. For what it is worth, let this be a word to the wise: Take care of your hearing in the days of your youth. |
| What actually happens to the stereocilia? |
| Unfortunately, acoustic trauma can actually kill the tiny hair cells, the stereocilia, which are responsible for transducing sound energy into electrical impulses which then travel to the brain for processing. Research is underway currently to determine if regeneration can be made possible, but as of now it is not. Once the hair cells are gone, they are gone. When the stereocilia are damaged and killed through prolonged exposure to excessive sound levels, deafness to certain sound frequencies results. Tinnitus ringing may result, then, from false signal relays at certain frequencies, but the exact mechanism is not yet fully understood. |
| What can be done about noise-induced tinnitus? |
| At present, once noise damage is done to the cochlea, it cannot be undone. However, that does not mean that nothing can be done about the attendant tinnitus symptoms. Even if the hearing loss cannot be reversed, numerous treatment possibilities exist for the alleviation or elimination of tinnitus symptoms. The biggest challenge is determining what treatment is best for each individual case, because everyone's case is unique, even when noise damage is the primary causative factor. |
| What's needed is a comprehensive tinnitus treatment resource on the symptoms, causes and treatments of tinnitus that also provides a guided process for diagnosing one's own condition as closely as possible to help determine what treatment is best suited for that case. Fortunately such a resource is readily available in ebook form. Before spending a lot of time and money on this cure or that, why not equip yourself to make well-informed decisions about your treatment?
