Ear noises during pregnancy
Many women report ringing in the ears during pregnancy, which often disappears again after birth. However, it is not possible to determine exactly what percentage of women experience ringing in their ears during pregnancy. Basically, the same causes that otherwise cause ringing in the ears can lead to ringing in the ears during pregnancy.
An increased stress level, incorrect strain or a lack of mobility of the cervical spine can also lead to ringing in the ears of pregnant women. It is recommended to consult a doctor as early as possible in order to be able to initiate a therapy. Then the chances are best that the ringing in the ears will not become chronic.
The study situation to childlike noises in the ear is not clear, however it shows up probably that approximately 15 – 20% of the school children indicated to have already once noticed a noise in the ear. This can have various causes. Children are more often affected than adults by middle ear infections, which can cause the ringing in the ears.
Congenital hearing impairment or noise exposure can also be causes of children’s ringing in the ears. Psychological factors, such as stress or strain, also play an important role in the genesis of tinnitus in children. However, unlike adults, children are usually in a better position to block out the ringing in the ears or to perceive them as not being a burden.
Therapy should therefore be based on whether and to what extent the tinnitus is a burden or an impairment for the affected child. The therapy is essentially analogous to the therapy for adults. However, treatment with medication should initially be restrained. Much more important is a training of the hearing or the therapy of basic diseases.
