GET ACTIVE AND GET SUPPORT<br />
Fill your schedule with exciting<br />
activities in which you like to participate.<br />
Your mind will naturally be focused on<br />
something other than your tinnitus.<br />
Many people allow this condition to<br />
control their lives, but you don’t have<br />
to. Concentrate on doing activities<br />
you enjoy to distract yourself.<br />
It could help to find others who deal with<br />
tinnitus. Oftentimes building a database<br />
of support groups for yourself can really<br />
lessen the stress and anxiety you might feel<br />
towards your condition. Tinnitus sufferers<br />
are all in this together, so it’s important<br />
that you trade advice for improving quality<br />
of life with other sufferers.<br />
7<br />
GET RELIEF AT HOME<br />
Do not let tinnitus get to you at home.<br />
Create white noise by turning on a small<br />
fan or turning down the air conditioner.<br />
If that overwhelms you, try placing a tiny<br />
fan in each room, or playing a sound CD.<br />
If you can drown out tinnitus sounds while<br />
at home, it’ll be a lot easier to deal with<br />
your condition. You probably won’t notice<br />
ringing in your ears as much while you are<br />
busy doing things outside of your home,<br />
so it won’t bother you so much. You won’t<br />
even need specialized equipment.<br />
8<br />
BEHAVIORAL APPROACHES WORK<br />
If you want relief from your tinnitus,<br />
it might be necessary to restrict certain<br />
behaviors that engage the condition. These<br />
behaviors include drinking alcohol, using<br />
tobacco and taking NSAIDs like aspirin.<br />
Get professional help if you need to.<br />
Visit a counselor who specializes in<br />
cognitive behavioral therapy. This type<br />
of therapy will teach you how to stop<br />
focusing on tinnitus so much. The help of<br />
a professional can get you past the stress<br />
that you feel when you are confronted with<br />
your tinnitus. This will make it easier to<br />
cope with. Don’t let tinnitus control you. If<br />
you do, it will be hard to live a happy life.<br />
