Tinnitus and headache could have sprouted from stress and could easily be taken cared of. What is hard to manage and may require further evaluation is tinnitus with temporal headache. This condition is affects the temporal bone, which is the organ responsible for hearing, and is located just on top of the ear in the skull. Knowing the causes and evaluating it may lead the patient to have the right treatment. There may be many factors that could lead to tinnitus headache but among those are discussed here and are divided into two - the primary factors and secondary factors.
There are new discoveries of how tinnitus headache developed. This will be discussed along the article as the secondary factors. But let's go over to the primary factors from which headache might develop. First and most common is the stress. Stress affects the temporal bone structure of the skull. Relaxing and getting deep breath will relieve a person from a stress. Drinking plenty of water is necessary for those who are under stress. As medications could give relief, some medicines may have adverse side effects. Insomnia, the next factor could be easily treated with right quantity of sleep (7 hours/day).
One factor of a tinnitus headache is serious and life threatening because there is bleeding in the subarachnoid space in the brain. This is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. It could unexpectedly occur or might be from a head injury wherein the cerebral aneurysm ruptured. This is not a common cause having only 1 out of 15,000 Americans in the survey result. Lumber puncture is a collection of cerebrospinal fluid from the sac of the lumber. Tinnitus headache may occur if it does after 12 hours from which the procedure is done.
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is a new study that tinnitus headache may have aroused from this condition. But this alone is the problem but this arises from another factor called Temporomandibular Join Disorder (TMJ). Some mechanisms in the jaw joint, which is located near the ear, may bring out an ear symptom. The muscles and tendrils get their nerve impulses from those that are joined to the jaw muscles, and sometimes, a bit of mistake in the analysis of the signals may cause alteration.
A progressive study of tinnitus in relation to a temporal headache is still on going. But another consideration of how a tinnitus headache may arise is from an ototoxic medication like the antibiotics, including Aminoglycosides, Vancomycin, and Erythromycin. The chemotherapy agents and quinine is also considered to be contributors to tinnitus headache, especially for the older people. Pain and discomfort may arise in the temporal structure in the skull due to the toxicity which is present in these drugs.
