subject: Best Cure For Tinnitus - 5 Key Steps To Curing Tinnitus [print this page] A 'best' cure for tinnitus depends on being able to identify which underlying condition or conditions are responsible for the sounds you hear in your ears. These sounds -- e.g. ringing, ticking, clicking, whooshing, hissing, roaring, etc. -- being the symptoms of tinnitus.
So when searching for the best cure for tinnitus you have to consider these likely underlying causes, many of which you might not be aware you have. And everyone is different in terms of the root cause(s) of their affliction. However, there are several root causes that many tinnitus victims have in common.
I have listed five of the most common here, to give you a good start in your quest for the best cure for tinnitus...
# 1. Protect yourself from noise-damaged hearing by reducing the volume of music you listen to, and, wear ear protectors in noisy environments. Noise-damaged hearing is a prime cause of tinnitus.
# 2. Reduce stress at every level in your life. This could be very important because undue stress is a known cause of tinnitus.
# 3. Ensure that if you are taking medication, the dosage is set correctly. Also that the medication(s) aren't likely to cause tinnitus. This is very important because certain drugs are a key underlying cause of tinnitus.
# 4. Get your blood pressure checked, because high blood pressure (hypertension) can also cause tinnitus.
# 5. Get your doctor to check you for impacted ear wax, and if you do have this, ensure that it is extracted professionally and carefully, since this is known to cause tinnitus too.
These are just 5 of the many steps you need to take to reach the best cure for tinnitus. But there's more you can do, for example, using special techniques, exercises, and so on.
