Dr. Lv Zhiqin
Common treatments for cerebral tinnitus:
1. Lifestyle modifications: reduce noise exposure, avoid mental stress, and maintain healthy habits such as quitting smoking, avoiding alcohol, and maintaining regular sleep patterns. These measures can help alleviate tinnitus caused by stress, anxiety, and other factors.
2. Medication: Depending on the underlying causes of cerebral tinnitus, doctors may prescribe different medications. For example, tinnitus caused by insufficient cerebral blood supply may be treated with medications that dilate cerebral blood vessels; tinnitus caused by neurological dysfunction may require drugs that regulate nerve function, such as anti-anxiety or antidepressants.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): TCM treatment involves syndrome differentiation according to the specific cause. Commonly used Chinese herbs include longan pulp, astragalus, and wolfberry, which help improve the internal environment of the body and relieve tinnitus symptoms. In addition, TCM physical therapies such as acupuncture and massage may also help alleviate cerebral tinnitus.
4. Psychological counseling: Tinnitus caused by mental stress, worry, or depression may benefit from psychological counseling to reduce symptoms. Through psychological consultation, meditation, yoga, and other methods, stress can be relieved and episodes of tinnitus reduced.
If symptoms of cerebral tinnitus occur, prompt medical attention is recommended.
