How to Treat Tinnitus Without Drugs

How to Treat Tinnitus Without Drugs

Tinnitus is annoying and masks other audible sounds by raising baseline noise. It can lead to sleep loss, isolation and other health problems. If it lasts for more than a few hours, it warrants attention. Tinnitus remedy without drugs is doable.

Instructions

    1
    ENT exam

    Schedule an appointment with an ENT (ear nose and throat doctor). He will be able to work on determining the cause of the problem. Often your general practitioners will check for wax build-up then refer you to an audiologist, which is not the next step to take.

    Once the ENT has made the determination of cause ruling out allergies, high blood pressure, stress or other factors you may then be directed to an audiology examination to determine if there is hearing loss.

    Neck exercises

    If the tinnitus is not caused by nerve damage, there are other ways to deal with it without creating a drug dependency. Neck exercises such as rotating the head in a circle slowly can help eustachian tubes drain correctly removing pressure. Relaxation techniques and visualization can also reduce the ringing.

    Avoid aggravating tinnitus

    Wear hearing protection to reduce tinnitus. Sounds louder than 80 decibels are considered potentially dangerous. Today we have many sources of sound levels greater than 80 decibels which can cause tinnitus.
