Question 1

what is tinnus?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus?: I don't know what tinnus is. Tinnitus is ringing in the ears.

Question 2

lashes thinning as you get older?  is that normal?  is it reversible?

Accepted Answer

Usually: With age, the hair on the body tends to thin and that is true of eyelashes as well.  At your age, significant loss would be premature and you might see your ophthalmologist for this.  For instance thyroid disease can thin the eyelashes.  Reversibility depends upon the cause so first you need a diagnosis.

Question 3

how to stop tinitus?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus: Tinnitus is noise or ringing in the ears. There is no drug for cure. Tinnitus is not a disease, but a condition that can result from many underlying causes.

Question 4

how is titinus treated?

Accepted Answer

Which word?: Tinnitus is ringing in the ears.  It's very hard to treat effectively and an otolaryngologist referral's needed.  Tetanus is vaccine-preventable but sadly is still with it; it's treated by finding and removing the bacteria living in a dead zone, and supporting breathing while it's needed.

Question 5

how do you stop tinnitis ?

Accepted Answer

Very tough: Tinnitis is very common, and often associated with hearing loss.  Technical hearing aides have dramatically improved over the years, but "tinnitis maskers" remain only partially of value.  On occasion some problem in the eustacian tube or sinuses can be provocative, and it is worth looking for.  Contact a good ENT specialist, and see what can be offered.

Question 6

remedies to reduce tinitus?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus relief: There are few remedies clearly proven to reduce tinnitus.  If hearing loss is sufficient, the use of hearing aids may "mask" the tinnitus sensation.   Background noise such as radio or fan in the bedroom can serve the same purpose.  Elimination of drugs such as Aspirin or Lasix (furosemide) which may cause tinnitus can help, too.  I would be wary of "tinnitus relief" medications, as little data supports them.

Question 7

how can tinnitis be treated?

Accepted Answer

Difficult: Tinnitus, a ringing in the ear (s) can be inherited, a consequence of high sound exposure over time, a complication or side effect of certain drugs and because of growths in the brain.  If you have tinnitus, you need to be evaluated by an ENT specialist to determine your hearing level and whether you fit into one of the above categories.  Treatment is sometimes not possible.

Question 8

what can be done for tinitus?

Accepted Answer

See ENT: Tinnitus in one ear, or that pulsates needs further work up.  A hearing test is important to evaluate.  Hearing aids, masking noise,  and sometimes medication can help.  Listening to mild music might help to relieve serious tinnitus.  There are some new treatments that may be expensive, but may help if you are seriously irritated by tinnitus.

Question 9

why does tea contain tannins?

Accepted Answer

God made it so: Many plants -- including grapes, tree bark, and tea -- contain tannins. These are the plant's self-protective compounds that counteract bacteria and fungi by interfering with their surface proteins. They also discourage herbivores from eating them, with that "puckery" effect on the mouth plus interfering with digestion.  Adding milk to tea allows tannins to attack the milk, rather than your mouth.

Question 10

is there any help for tinitus?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus: Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease, so it's important to find out why you have it.  As a sufferer myself, i've found that elimination of caffeine makes a difference.  Caffeine irritates cochlear hair cells, which can make tinnitus louder. Google 'university of maryland tinnitus.'  they have a tinnitus center there that has helped a lot of people suffering from this condition.
