Reactive tinnitus
-
Many people get tinnitus from a sound trauma, so it is not surprising to realize that an existing ringing in the ears is made worse by a renewed sound trauma. Reactive tinnitus is thus a form of ringing in the ears that worsens after exposure to loud noise or sound of certain frequencies. Types of ringing in the ears caused by overstimulated nerve bundles near the ear are particularly sensitive to this. In addition to reactive tinnitus, patients often also experience hyperacusis. An external sound causes a shock in the ear as if it hits a nerve, after which ringing in the ears becomes more prominent. Exposure to very loud noise, for example that of an MRI examination, can therefore also cause tinnitus, or make existing noise unbearable. Ringing in the ears, also called 'spikes'
