Tinnitus - Can Allergies Or Sinusitis Cause Ringing In Ear?

By Joanna Elisabeth Jordan

It is estimated that nearly 20% of the American population struggle through the effects of allergies and about 30 to 40 million of the rest of the population are identified as having Chronic Sinusitis. The Symptoms for both of these ailments include:

Itchy eyes

Sinusitis

Sneezing

Find it difficult to breathe the their nose

Runny Nose

Nasal Itching

The relevance that exists between Allergies, Sinusitis and Tinnitus are as follows:

Encircling the middle ear are mucus membranes that bring about mucus that will later help to clear the middle ear. Passing through the Eustachian tube, the mucus goes out of the middle ear and finally into the throat.

Antibiotics or Antihistamines are two very common prescriptions used to treat both allergy and sinus symptoms. Unfortunately, with the extended use of either of these will be what causes mucus to develop so thick that it will not be able to easily pass through the Eustachian tubes.

As a result, there will be mucus build-up in the middle ear, which will then allow for the development of Tinnitus, the ringing in ear or an ear infection.

Noise suppression devices that are recommended and medications that are prescribed by many physicians are two of the ways in which doctor's try to help patient's deal with Tinnitus symptoms.

Notwithstanding, in order to avoid the side effects which come from the use of antibiotics, antihistamines and other conventional tinnitus treatments, there is a natural tinnitus home remedy that is much healthier and safer solution that should be considered. It is also worth noting that Tinnitus natural relief remedy costs much less and may be done in the privacy of your own home. - 16004
