Tips for Reducing Tinnitus

These are by no means cures to tinnitus, but may reduce the symptoms as it is important to realise the Tinnitus is the result of some other underlying problem that you have.

Tip Number One #    Stay away form Loud Noise.

Quite simply, loud noise aggravates the problem and can even lead to severe hearing loss. There is a big temptation when you have tinnitus to turn up music, the TV, etc, to a higher volume to ‘drown’ out the buzzing background to make the listening more pleasurable. Wrong way to go. Instead, seek a quieter environment which you can implement by taking control.

Some suggestions include:

1.      Turn down the volume so that you are listening to a softer volume of music or sports commentary. This goes against the grain with followers of heavy metal and rock music but you have got to work out how much you value your hearing.

2.      If you do go to a music concert where the volumes are high, then put in some ear plugs. These are practically invisible and will prevent the excesses of volume.

3.      Wear protective headgear (ear muffs) when using any machinery, especially saws, grinders, planers, electrically driven power tools. It is so easy just to think that one little job taking only a minute or so will have no effect. Put those ear protectors on for everything and don’t forget when mowing the lawns.

4.      If you do have problems in getting to sleep at night, then having a low noise in the background may actually help. Some people have found a small fan left running at night (maybe on a timer cut-off), or an mp3 (or similar) playing very quiet music can help the mind to focus on that rather than the tinnitus and then onto sleep.

   Ear wax is the cause of a small percentage of Tinnitus in the population. As it builds up, it starts to put pressure on the eardrum. Too much pressure can damage the inner ear and generate everlasting tinnitus. Sometimes it can be just a plane trip or even a car trip up into the mountains when the ears have trouble ‘equalising’ that is enough to trigger the tinnitus into action.

It is very important to clean your ears regularly and we don’t mean with cotton bud sticks and the like. Some people’s ears fill up with wax on a regular basis while other luckier folks don’t have such a problem. Obviously, the best place to go is to an Ear Cleaning Specialist or your local GP (Doctor) but if this is not an option, you can attempt the cleaning yourself.

Put a little warm water (blood temperature only) in an ear (use a syringe or dropper) and tilt your head. This will help to break up the wax and with luck it may fall out under its own steam. The syringe can be used more forcefully by directing a stream of warm water from the ear entrance so that it flows down to the wax plug resting against your ear drum. After several squirts, the wax should wash free of the ear drum and flush out of your ear.

Tip Number Three #  Reduce the stress in your life.

As everybody knows or should know, stress can be a killer but more importantly, it can manifest itself in many other body complaints with Tinnitus being one of them. Without going into what causes stress, suffice to say that many of us good folks are victims to varying degrees of stress in this modern day and age.

Once you recognise that you are under stress, and the hardest person to convince is the person who is stressed I might add; then you can put in steps to reduce that stress. Mental relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation along with physical exercise all have their part to play in reducing stress levels. Also eliminating from your life or distancing yourself from sources of stress is important. Obviously removing all stress from your life is nearly impossible but at least having techniques to master and control it will prevent it taking control and exhibiting itself in complaints such as tinnitus.

To help reduce stress, use some of these guidelines:

1.      Put unimportant things out of your mind; “don’t sweat the small stuff”.

2.      Take a compulsory rest period in every day; program it in so that you know this is the relaxation time. This is not when you go to sleep at night.

3.      When you feel stressed, stop, breath in deeply, hold, count slowly to ten letting out breath slowly and repeat several times. Take time to regroup.

4.      Take a long walk, read a chapter from a book, take a long relaxing bath or spa and then utter these words, “arrrrrrr…… this is the life”

Tip Number Four #  Reduce High Blood Pressure.

This tip is closely related to information in the previous tip regarding stress. Increased blood pressure with a corresponding increase in heart rate will lead to an increase in the intensity of tinnitus noises. You maybe one of the 3% of tinnitus sufferers who have pulsatile tinnitus where you hear a rhythm that matches your heartbeat or pulse rate. These rhythmic sounds are produced by an increase or decrease in the pressure of  blood flowing in blood vessels in the head region as well as small blood vessels in the ears.

This change in pressure can be due to hypertension (high blood pressure), twisted arteries changing blood blow, malformed capillaries between your arteries and veins, anemia, turbulent blood flow due to hardening of arteries, over active thyroid gland, etc. Obviously, if you can reduce blood pressure and improve your blood flow, then you are getting rid of the root cause of pulsating tinnitus.

Here are some natural ways of improving blood flow:

1.      Take Ginkgo biloba extract. This herb contains ‘terpenoids’ which improve blood flow by dilating blood vessels and making the blood platelets less sticky.

2.      Reduce high blood pressure by a low fat, low cholesterol and salt free diet. Do regular exercise as well as other relaxation activities.

3.      Treat your anemia by increasing the iron in your diet by eating foods high in iron such as green leaf vegetables, bran flakes, brown rice, lentils, wholegrain bread, liver, red meat, prunes, resins, etc.

If you are in the habit of using the above, then you really need to seriously decide to end your bad habits. Any stimulant used by you can act as a triggering agent for tinnitus and other complaints. Alcohol consumption and intake of caffeine rich beverages including cocoa based products need to be stopped as they cause continuous excitement of the nerves in the ear. Stop smoking; difficult I know but benefits far out weigh any perceived advantage.

Many people take asprin, or medications containing asprin as the main ingredient, for rheumatoid arthritis, cardiac ailments and many other diseases. Asprin if used over a long period of time is known to induce tinnitus and so you need to look for medications in which asprin is not present.

Start using alternative natural herbal medicines such as carbo vegetalis, cimicifuga, calcarea carbonica, cinchona officinalis, coffea cruda, lycopodium, graphitus, hawthorn, ginkgo biloba and feverfew to help reduce tinnitus symptoms. Finally, you need to take vitamins and minerals as supplements especially if you smoke as this habit creates nutrient deficiencies.

 I hope this short series of ‘tinnitus tips’ have been of use and have given you more hope that a cure or reduction in the symptoms is possible.   

Tinnitus (sometimes spelled ‘Tinnitis’ or Tinitus’) refers to a ringing in the ears, or the hearing of noises in the ears when there is no outside source for the sounds. While many people describe “ringing ears”, other sounds that people may experience can include humming, hissing, blowing, roaring, sizzling, or whistling noises.

Almost everyone experiences a mild form of Tinnitus from time to time, usually only lasting brief periods. However, many people experience constant or recurring Tinnitus, and this can lead to more serious problems including difficulty concentrating or the inability to sleep.

Although the exact cause of Tinnitus is not known, possible factors may include a build up of wax in the ears, ear infections, or damage to the ears due to loud noises. In many cases, the taking of certain drugs may lead to ear noises. Therefore, some of the steps that can be taken to relieve Tinnitus include the avoidance of caffeine, alcohol, and smoking.

While many medicines have been used to treat Tinnitus in the past as well as today, there is no magic drug that will work for everyone. However, many people have had much success with alternative natural therapies including acupuncture, hypnosis, and craniosacral therapy to name a few. Herbal supplements and vitamins can also be helpful, especially those that include magnesium, zinc, ginkgo biloba, melatonin, or B vitamins.

Of course, prevention is usually the best cure and people can do this by using ear protection wherever ear damage is possible such as loud concerts, construction areas with jackhammers, etc.

Tinnitus is a common subjective ailment that has many underlying causes. Its name, tinnitus, is derived from Latin and is defined as a ringing sound heard in the ear in absence of a corresponding external sound. However, not everyone who suffers from ear tinnitus hears ringing. There are multiple forms of tinnitus that can be caused by a variety of different factors, making tinnitus not so much an illness as a symptom.
Tinnitus can be subjective or objective. Subjective tinnitus has too many causative factors to begin to list but the common thread is that there is no measurable cause and no objective test to measure the degree of tinnitus suffered by the patient. Because we sometimes are able to sharpen our hearing in certain ranges by concentrating on those sounds, tinnitus can become very bothersome if a person focuses on that sound to the exclusion of external sounds. In these cases, the tinnitus can have a serious effect on daily activities and become debilitating.
Pulsatile tinnitus is one example of objective tinnitus. This type of tinnitus can actually be measured and the cause can normally be found. Pulsatile tinnitus is the name for the experience when one is literally able to hear the blood flow inside the ears, usually in time to the pulse. Extreme cases can even sense the ebb and flow of the blood between pulse beats. Causative factors for pulsatile tinnitus are usually not life life threatening, however, there are some exceptions. Certain tumors, an aneurysm in the carotid artery, or other serious conditions in the head and neck can cause pulsatile tinnitus. These conditions are serious and require immediate treatment. Less serious causes include a simple rise in blood pressure, usually following a fright that triggers a fight or flight response.
While there is no single tinnitus cure, there are a wide variety of treatments designed to help reduce this to a manageable level. Tinnitus treatment can be as simple as removing excess wax from the ears or treating a cold that causes a buildup of fluid in the eustachion tubes between the neck and the ears. Overexposure to loud noises is a leading cause of subjective tinnitus. Reducing the exposure to such sounds can reduce the effects of tinnitus. Certain medications have been shown to have tinnitus as a side effect. Removing these medications usually reduces or eliminates the effects of tinnitus.
Because subjective tinnitus does not normally have a physical cause that can be treated, psychotherapy is often prescribed to treat the problem. In rare cases, mental illness can be diagnosed and treated with medications and therapy sessions that will also reduce or eliminate the ear tinnitus.
Tinnitus is a common problem. The number of factors that can cause it is huge. Tinnitus can vary from a minor distraction that is a little annoying to severe enough to have a negative effect on daily life. Work is ongoing to find a true cure, but with so many causes, treatment is the only solution at this time.
