The treatment methods for cerebral tinnitus and ear ringing mainly include the following:
1. Lifestyle adjustments: Ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late and excessive fatigue; maintain emotional stability and avoid extreme emotional fluctuations; reduce noise stimulation and maintain a quiet environment.
2. Medication: Depending on the causes and symptoms, doctors may prescribe medications that nourish the nerves and improve circulation, such as Mecobalamin Dispersible Tablets and Ginkgo Biloba Extract Tablets. Additionally, for cerebral tinnitus, sedatives, hypnotics, or hormone medications might be used for treatment. For ear ringing, medications such as Flunarizine Hydrochloride Capsules may be used to alleviate symptoms.
3. Physical therapy: Includes therapies such as massage, acupuncture, and moxibustion, which can promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and thus reduce symptoms of cerebral tinnitus and ear ringing.
4. Habituation therapy: By introducing external sounds, a sound that matches the tinnitus is identified, helping the patient perceive the tinnitus less intensely.
5. Psychological therapy: Patients accompanied by psychological issues such as anxiety or depression require corresponding psychological therapy to relieve mental stress and reduce the disturbance caused by tinnitus and cerebral tinnitus.
6. Surgical treatment: In rare cases, if cerebral tinnitus or ear ringing is caused by serious underlying conditions such as intracranial lesions, surgical treatment might be necessary.
