Background Noise March 15, 2011 by Emma Filed under Featured, Tinnitus News Andrew Goodwin’s definition of his tinnitus is frank. “It’s a noise I can’t identify which freaks me out.” He first began to hear a weird, piercing noise in his ears aged 31. On the same day in 2002, Andrew became profoundly deaf. It was a terrifying and lonely time for him. Eighteen months later he discovered hearing aids which were powerful enough to help him hear again, but the tinnitus remained. The noise he hears, but which no one else can, takes on a different character depending on how Andrew is feeling. “When I am stressed it sounds like wind rushing through the trees. But at night after a long day it can be sinister. It sounds like there are voices, whispering…” “Initially I didn’t know what it was or where it was coming from. I thought I was going mad,” he says. Five million people in the UK are thought to live with tinnitus, but not all suffer from hearing loss as well. The British Tinnitus Association says that about 10% of the UK adult population have mild tinnitus all the time and, in up to 1% of adults, this may affect their quality of life. Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of any actual, corresponding external sound and it can occur at any age – even in quite young children. Although the precise cause of tinnitus is still not fully understood, experts say there are certain things which should be avoided. The ear is an extremely sensitive organ which has to deal with a massive range of sound levels – from a whisper at 30 decibels to a busy bar at 80-90 dB and a noisy club at 100 dB or more. This sort of noise level is thought to be “safe” for fewer than 30 minutes. Conrad Jarvis was listening to music two years ago when he suddenly heard a “crackling” noise in his left ear. He initially put it down to the new headphones he was wearing before he realised there had been a permanent change in his hearing. At first he did not notice the tinnitus. “It just came on… this high-pitched sound. It was constantly there, sometimes it changed in pitch. It did drive me crazy,” he says. As a DJ who played everything from soul to R&B and house music, often at high volumes, Conrad thought his music career was finished. But he was persuaded to have an operation and then use a hearing aid, which is now the only thing that quietens the tinnitus. “After lots of hearing tests I realised my ear drum was damaged – so I just knew that was it for the rest of my life.” He was very reluctant to wear a big, pink hearing aid – particularly as he is of Caribbean descent – but he managed to get a small, brown digital hearing aid which most of his friends mistake for a blue tooth device. “I’ve got back my sense of balance on my left-hand side and the hearing aid has reduced the tinnitus dramatically,” Conrad says. There are various treatments available which can help people deal with tinnitus. These include hearing aids, relaxation techniques to try to reduce anxiety levels and a bedside sound generator which produces the sound of rain, the ocean or birds to help induce sleep. “For those seriously affected by tinnitus, psychological therapy in the form of cognitive behavioural therapy can be tried,” Dr Baguley says. Andrew Goodwin took up the relaxation technique Tai Chi to help him deal with his tinnitus, which he found very successful. “The breathing exercises helped me relax and that calmed down the tinnitus,” he says. Stress and anxiety can also affect tinnitus levels, as Andrew testifies. “If I get stressed, my tinnitus gets worse. After a long, tiring day, tinnitus is my way of telling me to slow down.” Current research on tinnitus is focusing on drugs which could have affect the intensity of the tinnitus, and on the use of filtered music to reduce the sound of the tinnitus. Research is also being carried out into how the activity of the brain can be influenced using magnetism or electrical stimulation. This research is at a more experimental stage, says Dr Baguley. Andrew’s experience led him to become information and outreach advisor for Deafness Research UK. His job is to tour the country talking to people about how to look after their hearing and advising them on how to cope with hearing loss and tinnitus. His advice on tinnitus is simple: “Talk to someone about it. There is help. You can’t cure it but you can make it manageable.” Source: BBC

Pozadina Buka Ožujak 15, 2011 prema Emma Varalica pod Istaknuti, Tinnitus Vijesti Andrew Goodwin je definicija njegova zujanje u ušima je Frank. “To je buka ne mogu identificirati koji me freaks out.” On je prvi počeo da čuje čudne, piercing šum u ušima dobi 31. Na isti dan u 2002, Andrew je postao duboko gluhi. To je zastrašujući i osamljen vremena za njega. Osamnaest mjeseci kasnije otkrio sluha pomagala koji su bili dovoljno snažan da mu pomogne opet čuti, no zujanje u ušima je ostao. Buke čuje, ali koje nitko drugi ne može, poprima drugačiji karakter, ovisno o tome kako je Andrew osjećaj. “Kada sam naglasio da to zvuči poput vjetra jure kroz drveće. Ali u noći, nakon dugog dana to može biti razoran. To zvuči kao da su glasovi, šaputanje…” “U početku nisam znao što je to ili gdje ga je dolazio iz. Mislio sam da sam bio idući lud,” on kaže. Pet milijuna ljudi u Velikoj Britaniji su mislili da žive sa šumom, ali ne svi pate od gubitka sluha, kao i. Britanski Tinnitus Udruge kaže da o 10% stanovništva Velikoj Britaniji odrasla osoba ima blagu tinnitus sve vrijeme i, u do 1% odraslih osoba, To može utjecati na njihovu kvalitetu života. Tinitus je percepcija zvuka u odsutnosti bilo koje stvarne, odgovarajuće vanjske zvukove i to se može pojaviti u bilo kojoj dobi – čak iu vrlo male djece. Iako je točan uzrok zujanje u ušima još uvijek nije u potpunosti razumio, stručnjaci kažu da postoje određene stvari koje treba izbjegavati. Uho je vrlo osjetljivo organ koji mora nositi s masivnim spektar razina zvuka – od šapat na 30 decibela na zauzet bar na 80-90 dB i glasan klubu 100 dB ili više. Ova vrsta razina buke je mislio da se “siguran” za manje od 30 minuta. Conrad Jarvis je slušanje glazbe prije dvije godine kad je odjednom čuo “pucketanje” šum u lijevom uhu. On je u početku staviti ga na nove slušalice je nosio prije nego je shvatio da su stalne promjene u njegov sluh. U početku on nije obavijest tinitus. “To pravedan je došao na… ovo piskav zvuk. To je bio stalno tu, ponekad je promijenjen u smolu. To nije pogon mi ludi,” on kaže. Kao DJ koji je igrao sve, od duše do R&B i house glazbe, često na velike količine, Conrad misao svoju glazbenu karijeru je završio. Ali on je bio uvjeren da su rad i zatim koristiti slušno pomagalo, koji je sada jedina stvar koja quietens zujanje u ušima. “Nakon puno testove sluha sam shvatio moje uho bubanj je oštećen – tako da sam samo znao da je za ostatak mog života.” Bio je vrlo nerado nose velike, roza slušni aparat – posebno kao što je on od Kariba silazak – ali on je uspio dobiti mali, smeđa digitalni slušni aparat koji je većina njegovih prijatelja pogrešku za plavi zub uređaj. “Ive 'je dobio natrag svoj osjećaj za ravnotežu na moje lijeve strane i slušni aparat je smanjen tinitus dramatično,” Conrad kaže. Postoje razni tretmani dostupni koje mogu pomoći ljudi se bave sa šumom. To uključuje sluha pomagala, tehnike opuštanja kako bi pokušati smanjiti anksioznost razinama i generator Noćni zvuk koji proizvodi zvuk kiše, oceana ili ptice kako bi se potaknuti spavanje. “Za one ozbiljno pogođeni zujanje u ušima, psihološka terapija u obliku kognitivno-bihevioralna terapija može se suditi,” Dr. Baguley kaže. Andrew Goodwin je preuzeo tehnike opuštanja Tai Chi da mu pomogne nositi sa svojim tinnitus, koji je našao vrlo uspješan. “Vježbe disanja su mi pomogli da se opustite i smirila zujanje u ušima,” on kaže. Stres i anksioznost je također može utjecati na tinitus razinama, kao Andrew svjedoči. “Ako sam dobiti naglasio, moje zujanje u ušima se pogoršava. Nakon dugog, naporan dan, zujanje u ušima je moj način mi govori da usporite.” Trenutna istraživanja na tinnitus je fokusiranje na droge koje bi mogle utjecati na intenzitet zujanje u ušima, i na korištenje filtriranih glazbe smanjiti zvuk zujanje u ušima. Istraživanja također se provodi u to kako aktivnost mozga može utjecati koristeći magnetizam ili električna stimulacija. Ovo istraživanje je na više eksperimentalnoj fazi, kaže dr. Baguley. Andrije iskustvo ga je dovelo da postane informacije i angažman savjetnika za gluhoću Research UK. Njegov posao je da obilazak zemlje u razgovoru s ljudima o tome kako izgledaju nakon saslušanja i savjetujući ih o tome kako se nositi s gubitkom sluha i tinitus. Njegov savjet je jednostavan na tinnitus: “Razgovarajte s nekim o tome. Tu je pomoć. Ne možete izliječiti ga, ali možete učiniti rukovanje.” Izvor: BBC
