Has it ever happened to you? It is really annoying as well as disturbing.Suddenly, we hear an intense and annoying beep that gets into our head suddenly, without there really being an external sound stimulus.We can hear it in one ear or in both of them and, generally, it appears when there is more silence around us, hence it is common to experience this phenomenon at night.
But what is the reason? What explanation has that sudden buzz or beep that "gets" in our head? Is it voodoo maybe? At all, everything has a reason and then we will reveal it to you.
Acufenos or tinnitus, perceive a sound that does not exist
No, you are not crazy.And the sound you feel is real , but it is real only in your head, inside you.You would also like to know that these sounds, known as tinnitus or tinnitus , are something that suffers almost 40% of the population and that, therefore In general, it is something sporadic without major importance.Now, it is estimated that 10% live it on an ongoing basis, being an authentic and annoying problem on a day-to-day basis.Can you imagine it?
people who even explain that they cannot follow a conversation.Suddenly, that buzzing appears, that endless beep that drives crazy and despairs.It is usually due to an error of our auditory system, to a vibration of the surrounding tissues n our ears.We give you a really common example: when you are listening to music with headphones for a long time, when you take them off, sometimes you can feel a strange buzzing.It is frequent also after having witnessed an explosion, fireworks , or simple firecrackers...The reason? For an overexcitation of the ear.Now, there are people who have some abnormalities in the middle ear muscles near the jaw, which causes the fact that this is more frequent in some patients than in others.

It is interesting to know that tinnitus or tinnitus tends to be more common in people over 40, but if we are one of those who spend much of the day listening to music with headphones, we will suffer more.if you suffer for example problems like bruxism (grinding of teeth when sleeping) or have any cervical problem, or even more, if you usually suffer stress and anxiety in your day to day , you also have more risks of experiencing the annoying tinnitus.All this means a greater "overexcitation" in the auditory cerebral cortex and in the limbic area, which implies the appearance of these subtle sounds.the ear we don't know where they come from ">
And how can we treat them? Well, the most important thing is to know what causes them.If it is because of stress, if it is because of our particular anatomy or if it is for listening to music for many hours through the headphones, we will need to address the problem through one strategy or another.a medication that facilitates cerebral vasodilation, although in recent years the so-called "Sound therapies" are taking a lot of strength to reduce the perception of tinnitus.Moreover, there are those find a lot of relief using the so-called white noise, which we already talked about in Lifestyle.
And now tell us, have you ever heard this kind of sounds?
