How many types can tinnitus be classified? If you suffer from tinnitus, you must be clear about the characteristics of your tinnitus, including the exact cause and the type of illness. This is very important for the treatment of tinnitus. Therefore, in order to provide you with a more comprehensive understanding, let's introduce the types of tinnitus below.
Several classifications of tinnitus:
Neurogenic tinnitus
The characteristic of neurogenic tinnitus is that the tinnitus can be loud or small, usually a continuous long sound, such as the sound of cicadas or telephones, as well as the sound of flowing water, wind, machines, and other sounds.
Conductive tinnitus
The cause of conductive tinnitus is the obstruction of the conduction part of the auditory system, such as swelling and blockage of the external auditory canal, perforation of the tympanic membrane, invagination, middle ear inflammation, adhesion, sclerosis, etc. Sound transmission disorders reduce the ability to listen to external sounds, weaken their ability to cover up the sound inside the body, and make it feel, resulting in tinnitus. Furthermore, the sound transmitted into the ear through bone conduction is obstructed due to conduction barriers, which hinders the outward escape channel and enhances the sensation of the sound in the ear, becoming a low-frequency, wind like whistling sound. We can try it ourselves, covering our ears with one hand and feeling a loud noise inside, which is a typical conductive tinnitus.
3 pulsatile tinnitus
Pulsatile tinnitus refers to the patient's complaint that there is a tinnitus sound in the ear that is similar to the beating of the heart or blood vessels. Some sound like waves or some sound like pulse, which is very regular. Carefully observe its beating rhythm, and most of it is consistent with the number of heart beats. This type of tinnitus is often summarized as objective tinnitus.
Our hearing aids use digital 8/12/16 channel chips and advanced dynamic compression speech processing functions to achieve efficient noise reduction. At the same time, they support four listening modes, allowing for easy switching between quiet, conventional, noisy, and music listening modes with your fingers.
