En mayor o menor grado, los acúfenos afectan a nuestra calidad de vida. Dificultad para conciliar el sueño, incapacidad para concentrarse en los estudios o en la vida profesional, pérdida de equilibrio, irritación, ansiedad, fatiga…
Son algunos de los problemas más comunes a los que se enfrentan las personas que padecen tinnitus. Con una terapia apropiada y personalizada pueden paliarse las molestias y recobrar de nuevo la calma.
Las causas que provocan el tinnitus son muchas y de muy diversa índole. Una de las más comunes es la exposición prolongada a ruidos de elevada intensidad. Por ello, es conveniente utilizar protectores auditivos si se trabaja en industrias, fábricas, discotecas u otros ambientes con ruido fuerte y constante.
