subject: Treatments For Tinnitus [print this page] Tinnitus (pronounced tin-eye-tus or TIN-ih-tus) is typically referred to as ringing in the ears. Sometimes what you hear can resemble a ringing, chirping, or whooshing sound. It is usually not critical, but sometimes it may be a warning of a more critical illness. It affects over 11 million and some elements that may contribute to the condition are: sex, geographic location, where you work, and age. Sometimes tinnitus may worsen throughout time, even ending in hearing loss. It affects at least 1,000,000+ individuals so much that they cannot make it throughout their normal day.
There are several causes and triggers that can generate tinnitus, or make it aggravate. Hits to the head and exposure to deafening sounds can cause tinnitus. If you already have tinnitus, try to keep away from medications (like tylenol and narcotics), stress, spicy foods, and caffeine. These can actually aggravate the illness.
While there are no current cures for tinnitus there are plenty of treatments for tinnitus available and they make it feasible to decrease the noise to a tolerable degree.
