All about Tinnitus

If you heard the buzzing, chirping, whistling, whooshing, roaring, ticking, clicking or humming noise of your tinnitus, then you may have already researched many different treatment options.

Hopefully, you've seen your doctor first - so that any medical condition that can cause tinnitus. Chances are your tinnitus is "subjective", which means that the noise can be heard only by you and, medically, there is very little that can be done to the sounds, including medications that help tinnitus.

You see the type of Tinnitus that affects up to 50 million Americans through a variety of reasons, such as noise-induced hearing loss, stress and anxiety, high blood pressure, prescription and OTC drugs to name a few. And the non-medical treatments to alleviate the noise of tinnitus include stress-reduction therapy, white noise-generating machines and even changes in diet and lifestyle to promote a healthier body. Not every treatment is the same work for each person so that some experiments will be needed for good results.

There are even some prescription drugs that help tinnitus, unfortunately, no signs of a long-term cure. My thoughts - why the problem? All drugs strong enough to a medical disease have powerful side effects. Here are some of the drugs for the treatment of tinnitus and its side effects.

• Xanex and other anti-drug sedatives. Xanex is used to treat panic disorders and anxiety problems. It was also shown to the severity and scope in a large percentage of tinnitus sufferers. It acts on the brain and central nervous system to create a calming effect, improving the actions of certain natural body chemicals (GABA). Xanex can also be habit-forming (addictive) and the drug looks abnormal behavior. If you suddenly stop taking Xanex, you seizures. Xanex is a very powerful mind-change drug with severe side effects.
  
  
  
• cardiovascular system drugs. For most, if not all patients with subjective tinnitus, these types of drugs are a waste of time and money and have many serious side effects - too numerous to here. If you accidentally have pulsatile tinnitus, which usually target in nature, and is one of the rare types of tinnitus, which is sometimes treated. The problem arising from blood or increased blood flow turbulence in or near the ear ( "noisy" blood flow), pulsatile tinnitus can be increased blood flow in the carotid artery and jugular vein - both close to the inner ear. Treat high blood flow (high blood pressure, etc.), and if there is no physical Blutgefa near the ear anomaly, May improve your tinnitus.
  
  
  
• anticonvulsant drugs. anticonvulsant drugs such as phenytoin (phenytoin drug), diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan), all drugs which are primarily used to prevent seizures (epilepsy). Side effects are major birth defects such as microcephaly (small head), deceleration of growth and deformities of the face and fingers known as anticonvulsant embryopathy.

With all new and exciting tinnitus remedies and treatments have been developed over the years, why your general health at risk by powerful drugs, mostly for other diseases, only the risk of some temporary relief for dangerous side effects. For me, the risk is not worth the benefit of the drugs that help tinnitus.
