Why is your head buzzing and how does it feel?
Buzzing in the head can be tinnitus, which means that you hear a sound that is created by the hearing organ itself and that does not come from outside. The sound can be constant or come and go. It can also vary in strength, pitch and character. Some experience a faint buzzing or buzzing in the head or ears. Others hear a loud screeching, beeping or ringing sound. Some hear a pulsating sound that follows the heartbeat.
Hearing the buzzing in your head can be very disturbing and affect your everyday life in different ways. For example, it can make it difficult to sleep, concentrate, listen to others or enjoy silence. It can also lead to stress, worry, irritation, depression or anxiety.
What can cause the buzzing in the head?
There are many different causes, but one of the most common is that you have been exposed to loud or prolonged noise from outside. It can be, for example, music, traffic, machines or weapons. Loud sounds can damage the tiny hair cells in the inner ear that convert sound waves into nerve signals. When the hair cells are damaged, they can send incorrect signals to the brain that are interpreted as sound.
Other causes of buzzing in the head can be :
- Hearing loss due to aging, wax plugs, infections or other diseases affecting the ear.
- Ear diseases such as Meniere's disease, otosclerosis, acoustic neuroma or other tumors of the ear or brain.
- Medicines such as aspirin, anti-inflammatories.
