A good ear flush can be an effective
first treatment to consider if you are
experiencing tinnitus symptoms. Excessive
wax in the ears can make tinnitus worse.
Using cotton swabs inside the ear canal
can push it up against your eardrum.

STRESS CAN CAUSE THE
RINGING TO GET LOUDER
Attempt as much semblance of organization
in your life that you can, since stress is a
proven exacerbant of tinnitus. Look for a
new job which allows you to work the way
you want to work, and start spending more
low-key, relaxed time with those you love.
To reduce or eliminate your tinnitus
symptoms, think about your overall level
of stress. While a physical affliction,
tinnitus is often just the manifestation of
something emotional. Use a schedule or
agenda to plan your days ahead of time,
which can leave you less rushed. Learn
relaxation techniques and incorporate
them into your daily activities so they will
become second nature to you.

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
AT YOUR DIET
There is scientific data suggesting that
tinnitus may be linked to inflammation.
So, it makes sense to adopt an antiinflammatory
diet in an effort to control
your symptoms. So, you want to add in
foods like vegetables and fruits to your
diet, as well as other foods that are antiinflammatory,
like flax seed oil and salmon.
It may be time to take a closer look at
your diet. Some tinnitus sufferers claim
that changing their eating habits has
cured their condition. Some recommend
gingko biloba, vitamin B12 and giving up
coffee. Change only one dietary factor at a
time, though, so that any results that you
experience will be easily traceable.
