Introduction
Sudden tinnitus lasting for one day: the patient should first undergo a blood pressure test to determine whether excessive stress has caused a temporary rise in blood pressure. If elevated blood pressure is detected, it may lead to vascular tinnitus. In addition, the patient should assess whether they have been overworked, anxious, or depressed recently. Since the tinnitus has only lasted for one day and the duration is still short, prompt and active treatment is essential.
The causes of tinnitus are complex. Some tinnitus is objectively present, known as objective tinnitus; other cases are perceived subjectively and are called subjective tinnitus. So what should you do if you've had tinnitus for one day?
What to Do If You Have Had Tinnitus for One Day
If sudden tinnitus persists for a full day, patients should first have their blood pressure tested to determine whether excessive stress has caused a temporary rise in blood pressure. Elevated blood pressure may lead to vascular tinnitus. In addition, patients should assess whether they have recently been overly fatigued, anxious, or depressed.
If tinnitus has lasted only one day, which is relatively short, prompt treatment is essential. First, try repeatedly massaging the front, back, and surrounding areas of the earlobe to promote blood circulation in the ears and help alleviate tinnitus to some extent. Second, maintain a regular sleep schedule—avoid staying up late at night, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. If tinnitus persists upon waking in the morning, seek medical attention for a thorough evaluation. Additionally, oral medications that improve circulation and nourish nerves—such as Ginkgo biloba extract tablets, citicoline sodium capsules, nicergoline tablets, and coenzyme A—may be selectively used.
Under normal circumstances, with active treatment, tinnitus symptoms should show significant improvement. If no improvement occurs, acupuncture or hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be considered. In daily life, avoid extremely noisy environments as much as possible. Wearing headphones and listening to soft music may also help relieve tinnitus to some degree. We hope this information helps you. Wishing you good health and happiness!
