Rock & Pop Musicians And noise.


Rock and pop musicians are at risk of having noise induced hearing loss the same way industrial workers do. Loss of hearing may be considered an occupational injury among musicians. A Spanish study among 60 young musicians and 60 youngsters in the control group with an average age of 26 years found a connection between being a musician and suffering from noise induced hearing loss.
More symptoms of NIHL were found among the musicians. At 4,000 Hz frequency, or high pitched sounds, the audiometer showed significant differences between musicians and non-musicians. Although young musicians did not suffer from hearing loss at the time of the study, almost 7 percent already suffered from permanent tinnitus, and 17 percent had experienced temporary ringing sounds in their ears.

What is that buzzing/ringing sound in your ears?

Tinnitus is not a disease, but a symptom that can result from a wide range of underlying causes: abnormally loud sounds in the ear canal for even the briefest period (but usually with some duration), ear infections, foreign objects in the ear, nasal allergies that prevent (or induce) fluid drain, or wax build-up.

What causes tinnitus?

Stress causes tinnitus

Natural treatment remedies for tinnitus caused from stress, anxiety and traumatic life events.
It has long been known that stress will aggravate tinnitus if you already suffer tinnitus however long continued exposure to stress is also a major cause of tinnitus in a healthy person.
 What happens with stress induced tinnitus?
The hypothalamus and related structures in the brain, such as the Pons, the pituitary fossa, the basal cisterns, the corpus callosum, the brain stem, the ventricular system all play a part in causing tinnitus.The hypothalamus is a primitive part of the brain situated below the third ventricle. It controls many systems in the body, including the pituitary gland, which in turn controls the endocrine organs, and the autonomic nervous system.The hypothalamus, and the organs in the brain it controls, are responsible for producing essential chemicals needed to make us function normally.The hypothalamus is severely affected by shock, grief, and long continued stress. When one is subjected to long periods of stress, shock or grief, those essential chemicals are not produced by the hypothalamus as normal all types of unhealthy conditions can occur and tinnitus is just one of these.

Can stress tinnitus be treated?

Obviously the best way to treat stress related tinnitus is to remove or modify the conditions or situations that are causing the stress Next you will need to "kick start" the hypothalamus in action once again. You need to get the hypothalamus to start working properly again so it can do it's job, one of which is to produce those much needed trace elements and chemicals that is is not currently producing.
 The Noises Associated With Stress Tinnitus
 The noises associated with tinnitus from stress and traumatic live events include:
*Ringing sounds
*Whistling noises
*Whizzing and whooshing sounds
*Rushing and a roaring as of water or a waterfall.

Tinnitus Treatment Methods

Most medical treatments for ear ringing are not what one would refer to as particularly successful, and most treatments will cause varying forms of side effects which most people can live without.These include such as dry mouth and constipation and many of the medications prescribed to treat the tinnitus actually aggravate the condition.
Most of these drugs are actually designed to correct other problems, and have been found to potentially help decrease the severity of tinnitus in some individuals under certain conditions, but the truth is that if the tinnitus is caused by age or noise exposure,then there is no conventional medicine to completely get rid of the noise or any other guarantee of a tinnitus recovery.
