Conductive tinnitus

The cause of conductive tinnitus is a disturbance in the conductive part of the auditory system, such as swelling, blockage, perforation of the eardrum, introversion, middle ear inflammation, adhesions, sclerosis, etc. Impairment of sound transmission reduces the ability to listen to outside sounds and weakens its ability to cover up sounds that occur in the body so that it can be felt and become tinnitus. In addition, the sound introduced into the ear through bone conduction is blocked by the conduction disorder and the outward dissipating channel is blocked, which improves the sense of sound in the ear and becomes a low-frequency, wind-like whistling sound. . We can try it ourselves and cover our ears with one hand and feel the booming sound in the ears, which is the typical conductive tinnitus.
