The pressure on the ears basically appears regardless of how old the patient is. Of course, there are exceptions, for example, vascular diseases, age-related hearing disorders and the like. Usually, pressure on the ears is associated with pathological changes that can be cured.

This state is described in different ways: it has planted ears, is bursting from the inside, a feeling of severe discomfort along with some decrease in hearing. Sometimes there may be the impression that the ears are plugged or the head is swollen from the inside. All this description of the same pressure on the ears from the inside.

But the pressure itself can not definitely indicate the disease that caused it. Usually, the disease is characterized by many symptoms, the combination of which helps to identify the disease. If neither from that, nor from this presses on the head in the region of the ears, the reasons are incomprehensible. Necessarily it is necessary to address to the doctor, he will appoint or nominate inspection, will name the diagnosis and will prescribe proper treatment. Sometimes you will have to use the services of several specialists( neuropathologist, cardiologist, etc.), because the reasons can lie much deeper.

2 Here is the list of the most frequent ones:

• migraines( prolonged headaches);
• increased intracranial pressure;
• otosclerosis( pathological bone growth in the middle ear);
• neurinoma is a tumor of the auditory nerve;
• atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels( violation of lipid metabolism in the arteries);
• increased intracranial pressure( hypertension);
• otitis media( inflammation of the middle ear);
• osteochondrosis of cervical vertebrae, because it can lead to vascular injuries;
• sulfur plug, clogged the ear.

In addition to illnesses, such pressure inside can cause quite everyday reasons. If you load the eardrum for a long time, it will cause noise in the ears or a feeling of pressure from the inside. For example, constant listening to loud music or a long conversation on the phone can even cause temporary or chronic hearing problems, not just tinnitus.

You can never neglect your eardrums. Like any part of our body, they require care. You need to try to surround sounds of moderate loudness, sometimes even create silence around yourself. It should be remembered that the ears are the only organ that does not rest never! Even during sleep, the ears react to any sound. Otolaryngologists in some cases recommend sleeping with cotton wool in the ears. This will reduce the risk of internal pressure on the ears and other problems.

Some medications affect hearing and phantom noise, which is accompanied by dizziness and nausea. After the course ends, the symptoms usually disappear.

The most frequent causes of internal pressure are inflammation in the ears and various vascular lesions. If the ear begins to become inflamed, the infection could cause a perforation of the tympanic membrane. The last accumulated pus works from the inside, which creates a feeling of pressure on the ear.

The tympanic membrane is very thin and is very sensitive, so in this case the pressure is accompanied by severe pain and general discomfort. The presence of pus inside the cranium causes dizziness, loss of coordination of movement, nausea, because the ear canals lead to the middle ear - a fluid-filled cavity, which is responsible for the condition of the vestibular apparatus.

3 Vascular disease as the cause of

Diseases of the vessels leading to the ears may be very different: aneurysm, arteriosclerosis of vessels, vertebrobasilar insufficiency and much more. All of them create a feeling of internal pressure on the ear. Most diseases refer to all the vessels of the body. Problems with the latter provoke increased arterial and intracranial pressure, which has a number of additional symptoms: blurred vision, deterioration of hearing and vision, severe regular( or persistent) headaches, memory impairment, a feeling of heaviness in the head, and the like.

Vascular diseases require immediate examination and the appointment of the necessary course of treatment, otherwise this condition can lead to deterioration of the health of the whole organism. Problems with the supply of blood to various organs will result in problems with their work.

Therefore, if you are pressured in the ears, consult a doctor and follow all of his prescriptions!

Separately, you should consider migraine as the cause of pressure on the ears from the inside. The etiology of this ailment has not yet been studied, and the methods of treatment are unknown. Migraines are very long, exhausting headaches. Most often the pain centers in the temporal parts of the head. Sometimes this condition can last for weeks or even months. The peculiarities of migraine include a sharp painful reaction to light and the slightest noise. Anesthetics in the case of migraines do not work at all. Very often patients complain of unpleasant noise, pressure and discomfort in the ears.

Cervical osteochondrosis leads to compression or even injuries of blood vessels and arteries leading to the brain. Insufficient nutrition of the latter leads to noise and pressure in the ears. This requires an immediate appeal to a specialist, because this situation can significantly undermine your health.

4 Methods of treatment

Do not ignore the pressure in the ear. First of all, you need to go to the otolaryngologist, he will conduct a survey to determine if the cause of the problem with the ears. This can include a routine check and an audiogram. The doctor will see if there are any direct injuries to the ear or eardrum, if there is inflammation or another kind of disease. At the same time, he will look for ear plugs in the ear canals, which can appear there with poor care of the outer part of the ear and some diseases.

An audiogram is a special study that detects the amount of hearing loss and auditory perception, depending on the frequency of the sound. The result of the audiogram is given in the form of a graph.

If these checks reveal the cause of internal pressure in the ears, a treatment regimen will be immediately drawn up. Inflammation is treated with antibiotics in combination with vitamins and other drugs to strengthen immunity. Also, the patient is prescribed an anesthetic. If the inflammation is not cured in time, it will go to a chronic stage and obsessive pressure along with discomfort will persecute you constantly.

If the cause of pressure is not related to the diseases of the ears themselves, it is necessary to check up with the other specialists, according to the direction of the otolaryngologist. Suspicion of vascular problems or cancers will lead to a full-scale examination. It is necessary to pass all the tests and go through all the procedures to correctly and reliably determine the disease. For example, there may be a lot of vascular diseases and their symptoms are very similar, and they are treated differently. It is possible to find out which disease the patient is worried about only by collecting various data.

The most basic studies to be conducted in such cases are:

• brain scan;
• magnetic resonance imaging( MRI);
• ultrasound of vessels in the cervical region;
• measurement of intracranial pressure;
• regular measurement of blood pressure depending on the time of day;
• X-ray of all departments of the spine.

These studies can show the presence of the diseases mentioned above, as well as many other, more rare forms. After collecting an anamnesis( all possible or necessary data on the patient's health), the doctor will carefully examine the information and make a diagnosis. In some cases, special and narrowly specialized examinations will be required. Next, the doctor will choose a treatment regimen taking into account all the features of the patient's body. After the scheduled conduct of the prescribed treatment, the noise in the ears will be lost.

You should never neglect your own health. It is better to go through the examination once than to treat the rest of life afterwards!
