Hearing loss?

Hello, im 22 and live in Tijuana, ive been working in a call center for a month now ( ive worked before in other call centers like for the past two years) my main concern is that i have tinnitus and not sure if its for working with headphones and talking to people over the phn, or is this a situation with my jaw ( that it dosnt close properly and if i open my mouth too much i hear a cracking sound on my left side).last time i checked with specialist he told me it was the jaw, maybe i was under stress and putting pressure on it.

I mostly ask this question because music is a very important part of my life, i focus most of my time around musical activitys,  im very concerned if working in a call center may damage my hearing and if that tinnitus is a sign of this. I get other symptoms, like sometimes my ears hurt, or i hear a popping sound and also i feel like theres water inside. Most of this goes away and comes back, i tried to put cotton balls on my ears,  but if this is a serious thing i would like to reconsider working there.

thanks.

Herbs hold an obvious appeal for many people because they support the body's natural healing mechanisms to target the cause of the problem, as opposed to merely tackling the symptoms. It would be wrong to present herbal hair loss remedies as a miracle solution for all sufferers - there is however growing evidence to support the view that some herbal remedies offer real hope to many people.

Let's examine the case for some of the more popular remedies to determine if they're worth trying.

Ginkyo biloba - this popular herb is thought to improve blood circulation to the brain and skin. Herbalists believe that the increased flow of blood to the brain area delivers more nutrients to the hair follicle thus promoting hair regrowth. The recommended dose is 120-160mg of dry extract each day spread over three doses.

Green tea (Camellia sinesis) - it is thought that catechins found in green tea may inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase that converts testosterone into hair-unfriendly DHT. It is therefore believed to be effective in preventing and treating male pattern type baldness. You should drink several cups of green tea each day or take it in capsule form as instructed by the manufacture

Based on what you tell me, you are probably exposed to a great deal of noise in your life. I would say you're probably in need of some better hearing protection. Cotton is not a suitable choice for hearing protection, because it will tend to muffle a lot of the sound frequencies used in speech. Consider investing in the Etymotic Research ER20 plugs; which are calibrated to provide exactly 20 decibels of real-world reduction in all frequencies.... meaning everything sounds exactly the same, but a bit quieter. If you find that those help with the ringing, then try and reduce the volume on your music. For work, either continue to wear the ER20s, or else consider getting a custom sound plug thats calibrated to reduce high (damaging) frequencies, but leaves the low frequencies (used in speech) mostly intact. If you go this route, ask a hearing aid dispenser about sound plugs with Knowles filters installed.

Sounds like a middle ear pathology, which could be the culprit of the tinnitus. If so it can be treated/cured medically. Go see an ENT that has an audiologist on staff.

Cotton balls will not do jack for you, in fact they will probably only make the tinnitus worse while the cotton is in your ears.
