While there is no official “cure” for tinnitus, it doesn’t mean that certain methods of treatment aren’t going to be effective.
In fact, some methodologies are proven to significantly reduce the impact tinnitus has on your day-to-day life, allowing you to live stress-free.
Some of the tinnitus management options include:
Medication
Medications to reduce stress or anxiety
Hearing Aids
Hearing aids work to mask and/or correct the sound
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy
Sound therapy to retrain your brain to filter out the tinnitus
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Counseling to change the way you think about your tinnitus
Understanding the causes of your tinnitus is a vital step in developing an effective tinnitus management plan.
Loud Noise Exposure
Long-term noise damages inner ear cells, triggering phantom sounds.
Alcohol
Alcohol increases blood flow, which may worsen ear ringing sounds.
Earwax Buildup
Excess wax can block the ear canal and distort sound perception.
Stress
Heightened stress can amplify perception of internal ear ringing.
