What is tinnitus? - Pathology of tinnitus

Tinnitus is a condition characterized by sounds perceived only by the affected person. These sounds, which are not associated with any external sound source, can vary in volume, frequency, and location and can occur in either one or both ears.

The causes of tinnitus are varied: Degenerative processes of the auditory nerve or inner ear, caused by inflammatory processes or pathogenic microorganisms, are common. Trauma, such as diving, and excessive noise exposure can also be triggers. Environmental factors, such as insecticides and stress, also play a role.

Acute tinnitus: symptoms and causes

Acute tinnitus often occurs in conjunction with inflammatory processes that can also affect the cervical spine. As the disease progresses, it can lead to hearing loss, dizziness, and even depression. The constant noise causes considerable stress for many sufferers.

In practice Osteopathy & Naturopathy, we recommend initiating naturopathic therapy – alongside medical interventions such as cortisone injections – as soon as possible, as damaged structures are difficult to recover from.

Chronic tinnitus: a challenge for those affected

Chronic tinnitus is not reversible in most cases and therefore difficult to treat. Nevertheless, it is important to initiate appropriate therapies to stop inflammatory processes and prevent further degenerative changes.

Effective therapy for tinnitus in the practice of osteopathy and naturopathy

Tinnitus therapy in our practice is based on treating inflammation. We utilize the comprehensive capabilities of Chinese medicine, including herbal therapy, supplemented by vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.

For patients who have only recently developed tinnitus, we integrate additional therapies such as Acupuncture and osteopathy to accelerate the healing process. Our therapeutic goal is to prevent the transition to the chronic phase and improve the quality of life of those affected.

I would like to point out that the naming of the listed illnesses does not constitute a promise of healing or a guarantee of relief or improvement of the listed conditions. The areas of application of naturopathy are based on the findings and experience of the therapeutic approaches themselves. There are no relevant, reliable scientific findings, i.e., evidence-based studies, that support the effect or therapeutic efficacy of naturopathy.

Some of the listed illnesses require conventional medical diagnosis or are treated in naturopathic practice alongside medical intervention.

Your treating therapist will advise you whether the treatment of your condition is appropriate as a sole naturopathic therapy or in conjunction with medical intervention, or whether immediate specialist consultation is required.
