Tinnitus is een aandoening die wordt gekenmerkt door voortdurend oorsuizen.
De reguliere theorie kan niet echt verklaren waarom tinnitus optreedt. “Vanwege het grote aantal oorzaken en de beperkte kennis van de pathofysiologie ervan, Tinnitus blijft nog steeds een obscuur symptoom,schreef een groep onderzoekers.
The most likely theory for the cause of tinnitus states that when the cochlear hair cells become damaged, they begin randomly sending electrical signals to the brain.
This would be a pretty horrendous thing to have to live with, so this section is dedicated to anyone out there with tinnitus. If you know anyone with it please send them this video/article or podcast episode.
Can red light alleviate ringing of the ears in people with tinnitus?
In een 2014 studie, researchers tested LLLT on 120 patients with untreatable tinnitus and hearing loss. Patients were divided into two groups.
Group one received laser therapy treatment for 20 sessions consisting of 20 minutes each
Group two was the control group. They thought they received the laser treatment but power to the devices was switched off.
Resultaten
“The mean difference of severity of tinnitus between the two groups was statistically significant at the end of the study and 3 months after completion of treatment.”
