any suggestions for tinnitus relief?

Answer 1

a few suggestions:

-Avoid exposure to loud sounds and noises.

-Get your blood pressure checked. If it is high, get your doctor's help to control it.

-Decrease your intake of salt. Salt impairs blood circulation.

-Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea, cola, and tobacco.

-Exercise daily to improve your circulation.

-Get adequate rest and avoid fatigue.

-Stop worrying about the noise. Recognize your head noise as an annoyance and learn to ignore it as much as possible.

There are some natural Homeopathic treatments for tinnitus. But if you are taking any over the counter or prescription meds these most likely will not work. If you are not, these are great as I also suffer from tinnitus. For the most common symptoms (ie.. buzzing, singing, or hissing in ears), China Sulph. 6c (Cinchona Officinalis) taken 3 times daily for up to 2 weeks. Do not take longer than recommended. Also you could put 2 drops of pure almond oil in each ear once a week (use a dropper). Take supplements of magnesium, potassium, and manganese. For some great information there are two sites you may want to check out. The first is for a product I know nothing about but the site lists some of the drugs that can lead to tinnitus, and what they don't list you can have them email you. This site is at "http://www.t-gone.com/request-druglist.htm". The second site you will find helpful with many medical issues. This site is one of the best I have found for a wide range of medical questions. They have an excellent overview of tinnitus. This site is "http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/tinnitus/DS00365/DSECTION=3". I hope your relief comes soon.

It's important to say that tinnitus is a symptom and not a disease. Some people will have tinnitus because their Cochlea is damaged. And in a few, it could be caused due to hearing loss. But of course, the most common cause of tinnitus is exposure to loud noises. The noise can be a sudden burst, or it could be a constant banging that hits the ear drum and travels inside.

Answer 6

I don't know where the person who answered got "Meniere's Disease'. This is something totally different. Tinnitus is most often caused by damage to your cochlea from loud sounds/noise. There are other causes but those are rare. You should see an ENT to get your hearing checked. I have tinnitus and even though my hearing is normal they were able to determine that I have some damage to the higher-frequency nerves in my cochlea which would explain the tinnitus. I used to play in orchestras professionally and brass and percussion instruments can be LOUD. I tell you, having constant ringing of the ears sucks, but there could be worse things. Here's a good website for you:

I'm logically assuming you've done the online searches and found a disgusting gaggle of "health gurus"--all with their greedy hands out for $$$ in exchange for their "sure fire cures" for tinnitus, well here for free, I'm giving you the straight low on the condition. I've had tinnitus all my life and here's what works for me: First, take notice of yourself: Are you biting down hard / gnashing your teeth and are unaware of it? Muscles along the head / neck area feel tense?? Do you notice a headache coming on? Stress and muscle tensions along the ear, head and neck areas are known to trigger tinnitus. RELAX and let the muscles there ease down. Using your first two fingers, massage behind and around the ear areas. The noise will change, but will go down and eventually, subside to normal--barely noticeable / tolerable levels. If you can during the "tinnitus attack" at home, lie down and relax for about 30 min to an hour, massaging the ear area for about a minute and focus on RELAXING Another quick fix is to connect a set of large headphones to an FM receiver that is NOT tuned into a station. Listen to the static ( called "white noise" ) and bring UP the volume to a comfortable, safe level that defeats the ringing. Medicine today knows more about tinnitus than the field did 40 years ago. It's been determined that blood flow along the ear's tiny veins sometimes gets restricted from head muscle tensions ( headaches ), stress , applied external pressure along the ear area ( sleeping "too hard" on the ear )--or a combination of these events. RELAXING and MASSAGING are key words used to abating tinnitus attacks--and people affected with this condition can also find other ways that suit them that achieve the relaxation sought to turn down "the noise". When this happens, tinnitus strikes and can be very upsetting, even disorienting. Sadly, there's no "cure" for tinnitus---but simple easy and effective treatments can be done for it. Star Trek's Captain Kirk, actor William Shatner, has long come out publicly to disclose he has tinnitus and I think somewhere, there's an online transcript of an interview, where he offers HIS suggestions on addressing tinnitus attacks.

Answer 8

Tinnitus is not cureable. The only thing you can really do for it is to buy a white noise machine to help mask the sound of it. If you havne't seen an audiologist to get your hearing checked out yet you should do that to be sure you don't have any hearing loss yet. Between your ENT doc and the audiologist they will recommend the best machines to help mask the tinnitus.

Ménière's Disease - Home Treatment
The vertigo (spinning sensation) of Ménière's disease may be easier to tolerate if you lie down and hold your head very still during an attack.

Changing your diet may reduce the chance of having another attack of Ménière's disease. Eating a diet low in sodium and limiting the use of caffeine and alcohol may reduce the frequency of attacks. However, diet changes will not reduce the intensity or duration of a vertigo attack that has already begun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is Ménière's disease?
Ménière's (pronounced "men-years") disease is a disorder of the inner ear that affects hearing and balance. It causes sudden attacks of vertigo (a spinning sensation), tinnitus (a loud ringing in the ears), and a temporary loss of hearing.

Ménière's disease usually develops between the ages of 40 and 60 and affects both men and women.1

What causes Ménière's disease?
The cause of Ménière's disease is unknown, but it is related to a fluid imbalance in the inner ear.

What are the symptoms?
During an attack, Ménière's disease causes symptoms that include:
A low-pitched roaring, ringing, or hissing in the ear (tinnitus).
Hearing loss, which may be temporary or permanent.
Vertigo, which is the feeling that you or your surroundings are spinning or whirling.
A feeling of pressure or fullness in the ear.
How is Ménière's disease diagnosed?
Ménière's disease can usually be diagnosed based on your medical history and a physical exam. If your health professional is uncertain, hearing tests or imaging tests (such as MRI) may be done to rule out other conditions.

How is it treated?
Treatment focuses on reducing the severity of the vertigo until the attack ends. For some people, it may be possible to reduce the frequency of attacks by eating a diet low in salt and using a medication (diuretic) to rid the body of excess fluids and doing exercises to improve balance.
Medications that affect the inner ear, called vestibular suppressants, may be used to reduce the whirling or spinning sensations of vertigo. Medications that reduce nausea and vomiting (antiemetics) can also be effective in relieving those symptoms.
