tinnitus treatment

Food AllergiesTinnitus treatments can include changes to your diet. The foods most often mentioned in connections with tinnitus treatment, foods to avoid, are those containing caffeine, those with saturated fats, alcohol, salt and sugar. Common allergens, such as nuts, soy, wheat and milk may be associated with susceptibility to ear infections, which may, in turn, be associated with tinnitus.

Drugs that May Aggravate TinnitusAspirin. I actually got tinnitus one time only when I was taking high doses of aspirin for dental pain, so I can vouch for the aspirin (in high doses) to tinnitus connection. Also ibuprofen, antidepressants, antibiotics, antidepressants, quinine, diuretics, and marijuana. Your doctor can fill you in on the details.
Hearing AidsSince tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss, some tinnitus sufferers may be helped by a hearing aid. See your doctor for details.

Camouflage SoundMany tinnitus patients find that just having some music playing helps mask the noise of tinnitus. Special audiotapes for tinnitus sufferers are available. These are simple, nontoxic tinnitus treatments.

For tinnitus treatment, others use a white noise machine, as I described above. There are also electronic devices you can wear right at your ear to perform the same function--presenting a not unpleasant, constant noise to mask the noises of tinnitus. It takes a little while to get used to the new noise, but this can work.

A white band noise generator is an advanced kind of camouflage noise generator that contains all frequencies. This kind of stimulation resets the nerves so they become unaware of the tinnitus noise.

A Simple TestTurn on the water full force in your shower, tub or sink. If the sound masks some or all of your tinnitus noise, then camouflage noise may work for you.
Herbal Ear DropsTinnitus treatments can include herbs. A product called Bio Ear has been found to help some people, and there are testimonials at pennherb.com, which sells the product.
