Ringing in the ears is a problem that many people are suffering from. There are many problems that could be responsible for the condition. Finding out the causes of the tinnitus is the first step toward finding a cure and some relief.
Most of the time a person that is suffering from tinnitus will be told that there is no cure and they must learn how to live with the problem. There are some things that have been proven to be very effective in the treatment of this condition. We will take a look at the most common approaches to helping the sufferers of tinnitus find some relief from the constant ringing in their ears.
If you know that the cause of your ringing ears is exposure to loud noise or some damage to your ear, you should be sure that you are doing all you can to minimize the impact you are facing each day. Ninety percent of all tinnitus sufferers are experiencing the problem because of cochlear damage and wearing earplugs can be one of the ways to minimize the amount of noise that you are exposed to.
Drugs OR Medication
One of the ways that tinnitus has been treated is with the use of anti depressants. This is usually prescribed if the cause of the tinnitus is related to stress or anxiety. It is thought that if the stress can be eliminated the tinnitus will be reduced as well.
The problem with the drugs is that they may not cure every type of tinnitus. It is important to know what is causing the problem so that the solution can be tailored to it. Anti anxiety medications have been successful with those who are suffering from an anxiety and stress related cause to their hearing problem.
Masking
Hearing aids have helped some sufferers of tinnitus. The theory behind this treatment is that the amplification of some sounds will mask the tinnitus sounds that the sufferer is hearing. It is not a cure for the problem, but a masking technique that can be very effective.
Others with a mild case of tinnitus have found that behavior techniques that help them to mask the sound to be very beneficial to helping with tinnitus. Again, this is not a cure and will not eliminate the problem completely. However, once a patient has learned the method for masking their tinnitus it can become second nature and the problem does not bother them at all.
Nutrition
The cause of tinnitus can often be a nutritional imbalance that is easily corrected. Many people believe that if you are consuming a healthy and well balanced diet, you will be able to eliminate your tinnitus completely. Unfortunately, this does not work for all causes of tinnitus.
The best thing that you can do for your tinnitus is to take a trip to a hearing doctor. The doctor will be able to examine your ears to determine if there is damage to the ears that is causing the problem. Once the cause of the condition can be determined or at the very least eliminated, a visit to a nutritionist to balance the diet could be the next step. - 15437
