What Causes Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is usually caused by a head injury, an infection, a disease or exposure to loud sounds such as gunshots and explosions. It can be a sign of hearing loss, or it can result from head injuries, or diseases that range from the common cold to diabetes. People who work with noisy equipment, such as power tools can also get it. It can also be a symptom of almost any ear disorder.
What Can I Do About Tinnitus?
Medicines may occasionally help lessen the noise even though no cause can be found. In general medication treatment is not recommended as the side effects can be substantial and the results are inconclusive or nonexistant. Avoid exposure to loud noises and sounds and aim for a low-normal intake of salt. Avoid stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine. Exercise daily, get adequate rest, and avoid fatigue. Avoid medications known to increase tinnitus such as aspirin, non-steroidals and quinine containing preparations. Ginkgo-Biloba, Zinc and acupuncture are sometimes advocated as treatment for intractable tinnitus.
Additional information
Concentration and relaxation exercises can help to control muscle groups and circulation throughout the body. The increased relaxation and circulation achieved by these exercises can reduce the intensity of tinnitus in some patients.
Masking. Tinnitus is usually more bothersome in quiet surroundings. A competing sound at a constant low level, such as a ticking clock or radio static (white noise), may mask the tinnitus and make it less noticeable. Products that generate white noise are also available through some electronics shops.
Hearing Aids. If you have a hearing loss, a hearing aid(s) may reduce head noise while your are wearing it and sometimes cause it to go away temporarily. It is important not to set the hearing aid at excessively loud levels, as this can worsen the tinnitus in some cases.
To be most effective, nutritional supplements work better in combination. It may be more beneficial to take a variety of Herbs or Nutrients for more rapid and complete healing...
