Home Remedies for tinnitus

Tinnitus can be caused due to aging, exposure to loud noises, allergy, blood circulation problems or any head or neck injury all of which causes damage to the hearing nerve in the inner ear. Constant noise of varying pitch in the ear or both ears is quite annoying and distracting.
· Avoid exposure to loud noises.
· Keep your blood pressure in check, decrease intake of salt, tobacco, alcohol, oily/fatty foods, sugar, cola, tea, coffee and caffeinated beverages as they might aggravate the problem.
· Chewing dried fruits helps to increase blood circulation in the ear area.
· Avoid stress and exercise regularly for better blood circulation in your body. · Learn to ignore the noise and divert your mind in other things of your interest. Consult a (specialist) otolaryngologist to investigate the cause as the treatment will follow after knowing the exact cause.
