Will people with tinnitus have hearing problems?
Patients with tinnitus may experience hearing loss, but it is not necessarily absolute. Because tinnitus may appear before hearing loss, the two may appear at the same time, or even occur after hearing loss.


Tinnitus and deafness are the most common symptoms of abnormalities in the auditory system. It is not accurate to say that tinnitus will inevitably lead to deafness, but tinnitus and deafness often go together, and tinnitus persists for a long time. If symptoms occur, be sure to see an otologist.


Generally, tinnitus caused by external and middle ear lesions is often accompanied by varying degrees of conductive deafness. After the ear canal obstruction is removed, or the tympanic membrane perforation is repaired, otitis media is cured, or otosclerosis surgery is relieved, the tinnitus will generally disappear or be significantly reduced, and the hearing can be restored or significantly improved. Some people say that "tinnitus is a precursor to deafness", which actually makes sense.

Because tinnitus caused by inner ear lesions is often accompanied by sensorineural deafness, it is usually not easy to detect the early stage of deafness, so only the symptoms of tinnitus are found. This situation is particularly common in deafness caused by ototoxic drugs. The persistence of tinnitus and worsening of deafness are not caused by tinnitus, but because the cause of hearing loss is not controlled.

Generally speaking, tinnitus is not a lifelong cure. You should have a correct understanding of tinnitus and a healthy attitude, seek medical treatment in a timely manner, and receive active treatment.

At present, the more effective method in the treatment of tinnitus is: masking therapy. In life, many tinnitus patients have found that their tinnitus is reduced or disappeared in noisy environments, such as using bells, running water, etc. to mask the tinnitus or distract their attention from the tinnitus.
