What Is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus refers to a loud ringing in your ears. Even if there is no noise in the room, you may still notice a ringing sound in your ears. Of course, the loudness of this ringing can vary significantly depending on the situation, but tinnitus takes place when the inner ear perceives a ringing noise that might not be there. A significant portion of the population in the United States suffers from tinnitus, and it can sometimes indicate an underlying health issue. That is why it is important to rely on a professional who can help you. 

What Are the Main Causes of Tinnitus?

There are plenty of reasons why you might have tinnitus. Some of the most common examples of potential causes include:

• If you have been repeatedly exposed to loud noises, such as jet engines, you might develop tinnitus.
• If you have an issue with the temporomandibular joint, usually shortened to TMJ, it could be a sign that you are suffering from tinnitus.
• Some forms of tinnitus can be due to age-related hearing loss, also known as presbycusis.
• You might have suffered a head or neck injury in a motor vehicle accident that has led to tinnitus.

Regardless of the potential cause, it is critical to rely on a chiropractor who can help you.

How Can a Chiropractor Help You?

There are some situations where tinnitus can stem from a misalignment involving the vertebrae in the cervical spine. If the vertebrae are not in their proper alignment, nerve centers around the inner ear may start to malfunction. This could lead to tinnitus. Therefore, a chiropractor can use manual therapy to make sure the vertebrae in the cervical spine are properly aligned. Using small adjustments, it is possible to ensure the nerves in the inner ear, brain, and spine communicate appropriately, which could be enough to address tinnitus and improve your quality of life.
