Tinnitus remedies

1. Hearing aids
Most people develop tinnitus as a symptom of hearing loss. When you lose hearing, your brain undergoes changes in the way it processes sound frequencies. A hearing aid is a small electronic device that uses a microphone, amplifier, and speaker to increase the volume of external noises. This can mollify neuroplastic changes in the brain’s ability to process sound.

If you have tinnitus, you may find that the better you hear, the less you notice your tinnitus. A 2007 survey of healthcare providers published in The Hearing Review, found that roughly 60 percent of people with tinnitus experienced at least some relief from a hearing aid. Roughly 22 percent found significant relief.

2. Sound-masking devices
Sound-masking devices provide a pleasant or benign external noise that partially drowns out the internal sound of tinnitus. The traditional sound-masking device is a tabletop sound machine, but there are also small electronic devices that fit in the ear. These devices can play white noise, pink noise, nature noises, music, or other ambient sounds. Most people prefer a level of external sound that is just slightly louder than their tinnitus, but others prefer a masking sound that completely drowns out the ringing.

Some people use commercial sound machines designed to help people relax or fall asleep. You can also use headphones, television, music, or even a fan.

A 2017 study in the journal Frontiers in Aging NeuroscienceTrusted Source found that masking was most effective when using broadband noise, such as white noise or pink noise. Nature sounds proved much less effective.

3. Modified or customized sound machines
Standard masking devices help to mask the sound of tinnitus while you are using them, but they have no long-lasting effects. Modern medical-grade devices use customized sounds tailored specifically to your tinnitus. Unlike regular sound machines, these devices are only worn intermittently. You may experience benefits long after the device is turned off, and over time, you may experience long-term improvement in the perceived loudness of your tinnitus.

A 2017 study published in the Annals of Ontology, Rhinology, and LaryngologyTrusted Source, found that customized sound decreases the loudness of tinnitus and may be superior to broadband noise.

4. Behavioral therapy
Tinnitus is associated with a high level of emotional stress. Depression, anxiety, and insomnia are not uncommon in people with tinnitus. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that helps people with tinnitus learn to live with their condition. Rather than reducing the sound itself, CBT teaches you how to accept it. The goal is to improve your quality of life and prevent tinnitus from driving you crazy.

CBT involves working with a therapist or counselor, typically once per week, to identify and change negative thought patterns. CBT was initially developed as a treatment for depression and other psychological problems, but it seems to work well for people with tinnitus. Several studies and meta-reviews, including one published in the Korean Journal of AudiologyTrusted Source, have found that CBT significantly improves irritation and annoyance that often comes with tinnitus.

5. Progressive tinnitus management
Progressive tinnitus management (PTM) is a therapeutic treatment program offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Tinnitus is one of the most common disabilities seen in veterans of the armed services. The loud noises of war (and training) often lead to noise-induced hearing loss.

If you’re a veteran, talk to your local VA hospital about their tinnitus treatment programs. You may want to consult the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR) at the VA. They have a step-by-step tinnitus workbook and educational materials that may be helpful.

6. Antidepressants and antianxiety drugs
Tinnitus treatment often involves a combination of approaches. Your doctor may recommend medication as part of your treatment. These drugs may help make your tinnitus symptoms less annoying, thereby improving your quality of life. Antianxiety drugs are also an effective treatment for insomnia.

A study published in Medical Science MonitorTrusted Source found that an antianxiety drug called alprazolam (Xanax) provides some relief for tinnitus sufferers.

According to the American Tinnitus Association, antidepressants commonly used to treat tinnitus include:

• clomipramine (Anafranil)
• desipramine (Norpramin)
• imipramine (Tofranil)
• nortriptyline (Pamelor)
• protriptyline (Vivactil)

7. Treating dysfunctions and obstructions
According to the American Tinnitus Association, most cases of tinnitus are caused by hearing loss. Occasionally though, tinnitus is caused by an irritation to the auditory system. Tinnitus can sometimes be a symptom of a problem with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). If your tinnitus is caused by TMJ, then a dental procedure or realignment of your bite may alleviate the problem.

Tinnitus can also be a sign of excess earwax. Removal of an earwax blockage may be enough to make mild cases of tinnitus disappear. Foreign objects lodged against the eardrum can also cause tinnitus. An ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist can perform an exam to check for obstructions in the ear canal.

8. Exercise
Exercise contributes significantly to your overall well-being. Tinnitus can be aggravated by stress, depression, anxiety, lack of sleep, and illness. Regular exercise will help you manage stress, sleep better, and stay healthier.

9. Mindfulness-based stress reduction
During an eight-week course of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), participants develop the skills to control their attention through mindfulness training. Traditionally, the program was designed to draw people’s attention away from their chronic pain, but it can be equally effective for tinnitus.

The similarities between chronic pain and tinnitus have led researchers to develop a mindfulness-based tinnitus stress reduction (MBTSR) program. The results of a pilot study, which were published in The Hearing Journal, found that participants of an eight-week MBTSR program experienced significantly altered perceptions of their tinnitus. This included a reduction in depression and anxiety.

10. DIY mindfulness meditation
You don’t need to enroll in an eight-week program to get started with mindfulness training. Participants in the MBTSR program all received a copy of the groundbreaking book “Full Catastrophe Living” by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Kabat-Zinn’s book is the premier manual for practicing mindfulness in daily life. You will learn about, and be encouraged to practice, meditation and breathing techniques that can help draw your focus away from tinnitus.

11. Alternative treatments
There are several alternative or complementary tinnitus treatment options, including:

• nutritional supplements
• homeopathic remedies
• acupuncture
• hypnosis

None of these treatment options are supported by science. Many people are convinced that the herb gingko biloba is helpful, however large-scale studies have been unable to prove this. There are many nutritional supplements claiming to be tinnitus remedies. These are usually a combination of herbs and vitamins, often including zinc, ginkgo, and vitamin B-12.

These dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not supported by scientific research. However, anecdotal reports suggest that they may help some people.

I've had tinnitus for 10 years now and nothing alleviates it. It's stuck with me for life as it seems.

My sister has tinnitus and she tried laser therapy didn’t help her. Look into Lenire its a treatment in Ireland that may be your best bet. My sister is currently using, unfortunately no results yet but I’ve heard that its helped a lot of people. Tinnitus is absolutely brutal. It just destroys your quality of life. Unless you have it tho or know someone who has it you don’t realize how much it sucks. They really need to be putting more funding towards research to finding a cure for Tinnitus. Anyways, hope things work out for you.

Plz help bros

As someone who has this from nightclubs, it cannot be "cured" but managed.

Stay away from loud noises or constant noises or the ringing will get worse. If you are going to a concert wear earplugs. They makes one that are black that are basically invisible in your ears.

If you do this it will only be a slight noise you will hear when in quiet places.

Put your palms over your ears, then find the groove on the back of your head and tap along it.

 

[Zygos4Life]

Ive had tinnitus for abt 7-8 months now and I usually don't hear it when I distract myself

same here, I have had it since middle school. and as the years went by it gradually became worse. went to so many doctors nothing worked.

 

[bossman]

hey bro. thanks for asking. it still exists but luckily im kinda used to it and it doesn't irritate me as much so i can prioritise looksmaxxing over dealing with it. i will go to the doctor after this corona shit is over tho but thats prolly cope

There is nothing you can do about it. Perhaps a cure will come in 10-20 years, that is what has been said in the last 30 years at least.

yep. i read about neuroplasticity tho. since the brain can adapt to things over time, the theory is that if you play the exact frequency of tinnitus that you hear during the night, it will help your brain to think of it is normal and thus ignore it.

That isn't a cure though. Most likely we will just have to learn to live it. Honestly, man, the first months are the hardest but you will learn to live with it after that. Just try to not make it worse than it already is.

yeah i have learned to live with it jfl i made this thread in februrary with is 3 months ago

 

[UnderCovrN0rmie]

There's a treatment for it where you wear headphones that play a specific white noise frequency or smth that teaches your brain to ignore the noise you hear

it's what kirk and spock's actors did when they got tinnitus from shitty 1960's pyrotechnics and according to shatner it worked

Didn't see that lol

 

[UnderCovrN0rmie]

pretty sure it's a similar concept to how you ignore the sound of a car engine after driving for a few minutes, just... permanent, your ears are still fucked when it comes to very high frequencies but you don't notice it anymore

No fap
