Even though tinnitus with vestibular disorder sounds difficult for most people, but in reality
these are simple clinical terms tinnitus standing for various
strange and bizarre sounds heard by people who are affected with
it, while vestibular disorder relates to balancing problems resulting
in vertigo, dizziness, etc. And surprisingly enough both originate
from the same source the inner ear. As a matter of fact,
the human ear is provided with an acoustic or hearing nerve and
a vestibular or balancing nerve to maintain equilibrium and when
something goes wrong with one, the other gets affected too.
Generally speaking, the following course
of events takes place in both the cases.
* When the acoustic or the hearing nerve is injured, hearing
problems arise. These may include loss of hearing and tinnitus.
* When the vestibular or balancing nerve is affected, it
creates balancing problems, vertigo, giddiness, etc.
In trying to analyze the underlying causes relating to tinnitus
that creates the phantom sounds in the ear and vestibular disorder
that gives rise to vertigo, dizziness and loss of balance
we must take into account the body's inherent immune system as
well as its inflammatory response structure, both of which play
their respective parts in dealing with both the issues. The immune
system, under normal conditions, keeps the body healthy and fit,
free of infection and disease and in general, looks after the
wellbeing of all bodily organs. But when its beneficial effects
are somehow weakened, it tells upon the organs too. In the case
of the ear, especially the middle ear which is the most important
part, it becomes exposed to infection and decay. This, as you
may appreciate, affects the nerves that are associated with the
acoustics as well as the vestibular or balancing devices, causing
them to flounder or play havoc. This is one of the most critical
causes behind vestibular disorder with tinnitus or tinnitus and
vestibular disorder as both are crucially co-related.
Coming down to the body's own inflammatory response system, we
are faced with a totally different picture. In the case of vestibular
disorder with tinnitus, it makes a blatant mistake which
instead of preventing the issue, causes it to develop and grow.
Under normal circumstances, if anyone accidentally injures an
ankle while roller skating or biking, the inflammatory response
system immediately pumps extra fluid to counteract the damage
caused to the ankle which gets swollen up. It also happens when
an eye is fortuitously exposed to dust or any irritating agent
some amount of extra fluid is secreted to wash the irritant
out. However, in the case of inner ear problem, it works as a
boomerang. To know how and why it happens, please read on.
Vestibular disorder with tinnitus how it happens
The inner ear, other than having sundry hearing device comprising
fine bones, cartilages, nerve endings, etc also have a small
space that is normally kept healthy and pliant with a limited
quota of fluid in it. However, when it suffers injury or becomes
infected, the inflammatory response system tries to flood it
with additional fluid in an effort to 'wash out' the infection.
But that extra fluid finds no room to expand within that confine,
as a result of which pressure builds up within the inner ear.
The pressure thus created then starts to harass the surrounding
bones, cartilages, etc and when failing to do so, starts affecting
the nerve endings when all hell breaks lose. As soon as the acoustics
nerves are affected, they start sending erratic impulses to the
brain and the brain in turn keeps on transmitting ghoulish sound
waves to the ear, thus giving birth to tinnitus. The effect of
the fluid pressure on the vestibular nerves makes them go haywire
too. The abnormal pressure on the nerves totally upsets the balancing
mechanism, giving rise to giddiness, vertigo and related problems.
If there is any lesson that can be learnt from this, it consists
of the fact that there is practically neither any preventive
measure nor any cure for vestibular
disorder with tinnitus, except tuning up the body's immune
system. As for the body's inflammatory response system, none
has the ability to re-train it. The one and only answer to the
problem lies in taking a holistic approach towards controlling
the disease for which a brief guideline is given below.
Holistic guidelines to keep away from Vestibular Disorder
with Tinnitus
* Cut down the consumption of meat or meat-based food items like
ham, sausage, bacon, liver, etc.
* Give up alcohol or alcohol-based beverages.
* Consume fruits and vegetables in sufficient quantity. Also
good are organic food, food that are rich in vitamins.
* Start yoga and Vedic exercises including deep breathing
* Give up smoking altogether. This includes cigarette smoking
or pipe smoking, no matter how much nicotine they are supposed
to filter out.
* Do not indulge in using medicated nasal sprays or ear drops.
* Do not go for antibiotics or ototoxic medications unless an
infection turns septic and that too only according the guidance
of known medical practitioner.
* Lead simple, uncomplicated life and arrange to have adequate
sleep.
* Discontinue all medications save and except those that are
essential for any special type of disease condition that requires
all-time consumption.
* Change lifestyle, if necessary; remain healthy for the rest
of your life.
Note: Contrary to conventional modes of treatment that
treats the symptom instead of the disease, holistic treatments
treat the body considering it as a whole entity. Its aim is to
identify the root cause of the disease and then specify the remedy
which may consist of a change in diet, change of habits, change
of profession and change in lifestyle. Pursued rigorously, it
sure would provide freedom from vestibular
disorder with tinnitus for good.
