Treating Tinnitus Effectively At Home
If you are hearing ringing or buzzing noises, and nothing around you is producing those sounds
, you probably have what is called tinnitus. You may be aware of that already. Perhaps you have already seen your physician about those symptoms. If that is the case, you have probably been told that little can be done to help you, for traditional medicine can only treat about 5 percent of tinnitus cases effectively. By itself that does not sound very promising, but good hope exists for the rest of the 95% of people who come down with tinnitus. Effective home treatment can be found for nearly all tinnitus sufferers.
Before introducing things you can do at home to help relieve tinnitus symptoms, please heed the following common sense caution. If you are experiencing tinnitus symptoms and you have not yet consulted with your doctor, you really should make an appointment to see about them. Some conditions leading to tinnitus respond well to conventional treatment. For instance, high blood pressure can bring on tinnitus, and that can be corrected via dietary adjustments or medication that your doctor can prescribe. Certain medications are known to bring on tinnitus as a side effect, and your physician can prescribe other drugs that do not have the tinnitus side effect.
Also, something critical may underlie tinnitus symptoms, like a tumor, and you would want your physician to catch that. Critical cases such as that are very rare, but you want to have them checked out, if only to rule them out. In the final analysis, however, for most tinnitus cases there is little that conventional medical practice can offer. Still, all of those other cases are not without hope, for there are home treatments that have proven to be effective for reducing or even eliminating tinnitus symptoms.
The main causative factor for tinnitus is acoustic trauma due to exposure to high decibel sounds. Our modern world is a very noisy place. Being around the noisy machines of a workshop can hurt the hearing receptors located within the inner ear and give rise to tinnitus. Loud music concerts or night clubs are also well known for causing and aggravating tinnitus. Tinnitus can be lessened or at least not made worse by staying away from sources of high decibel sounds or by using protective devices like ear plugs or ear muffs whenever exposed.
Following some simple dietary principles can also be beneficial. Certain food products are known to cause or exacerbate tinnitus in many cases. As an example, reducing one's intake of sugar, salt and fats, and avoiding tea and coffee can be a great help for many tinnitus sufferers. Eating nutritious meals with lots of vegetables and fruits can help to improve overall health and lessen tinnitus symptoms. Smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages can also drive up tinnitus levels.
Getting sufficient exercise on a daily basis can relieve tinnitus. Frequent physical activity improves circulation and the immune system which helps the body to heal itself. Tinnitus can often be seen serving to alert the sufferer that his or her overall health is in need of a lift, and exercise can help provide that.
Stress is another leading cause of tinnitus. It can be very beneficial to become aware of one's daily stress levels. Learning to manage stress better, then, can be the next necessary step. Becoming more intentional about relaxation is a home therapy that can lessen tinnitus misery very effectively.
In many cases, finding lasting tinnitus relief demands the simultaneous application of several such home treatments. The home treatments that I have introduced here are just a few of the ways that tinnitus can be addressed effectively at home, and anyone can get them going without delay. For much more information about tinnitus home treatments, Thomas Coleman's book, Tinnitus Miracle, is one of the very best. Coleman provides the most complete resource for natural home treatment for tinnitus that I am aware about. Within the 263 pages of his book, Coleman also presents a detailed plan for implementing home therapies in a manner that leads to significant reduction of symptoms in 2 to 3 weeks, and complete removal of symptoms in as little as 2 or 3 months.
