Tinnitus can come from problems in inner ear, outer ear, middle ear, or imbalances in the brain. One of the present-day main causes of tinnitus is thought to be over-exposure to loud noises. Other possible causes include, but are not limited to, stress, infection, certain medications, or too much ear wax.
It's generally agreed upon that in order to treat tinnitus successfully, you first have to find the root cause of tinnitus and treat that. Your doctor can help you understand where your tinnitus is originating with your medical history, an examination, and certain tests. There is no known cure for tinnitus and in many cases, there is no specific tinnitus treatment. It could disappear on its own, or it could be a permanent disability that you will learn to manage and deal with.
Many patients have found success with treating tinnitus with changes in lifestyle, improving your immune system, and other alternative treatments. Changes in lifestyle basically means making sure you are eating healthy foods and avoiding unhealthy foods. If you do this already, then than your eating habits are not the cause of your tinnitus.
However, if you find that you are eating fast foods, processed foods, junk food, and lots of excess salt, then this change could be your solution. Excess salt restricts blood vessels, increases blood pressure and reduces how much blood and oxygen are getting to your eyes, ears and brain. As your blood pressure increases, so does the volume of the noise in your ears.
Try to stick to fruit and vegetables, lean protein, whole-grains and fatty fish. Cook with olive oil instead of butter or other oils. Avoid salt, caffeine and alcohol which all may aggravate your condition.
In order to enhance your immune system, try to get enough sleep and a little bit of exercise every day. This doesn't mean that you need to work out every day. Just take a walk or climb the stairs at the office every once in a while instead of taking the elevator. Getting the right amount of sleep and exercising also help to reduce stress which is also believed to contribute to tinnitus.
Finally, certain "new age" or alternative therapies are also helping some people who suffer from tinnitus. These can include acupuncture, biofeedback, habituation, and even hypnotherapy, which has been reported to benefit more than 50 percent of the people who have undergone it. Hypnosis places you in a heightened state of awareness and focused concentration so that you can retrain the brain to break the sound which is bothering you.

Tinnitus is a terrible pain! I knew this from my Dad’s experience. His career exposed him to noisy equipment for several years and caused his tinnitus. We couldn't find a cure for him after 8 years of several western medications and various natural alternative trials. By a stroke of luck, I stumbled on a comment where I got to know about Dr. Mohan herbal medicine and natural treatment method which cured him completely in a very short period of time. If you are dealing with tinnitus, there is no need to contemplate suicide because of the ringing, humming and whizzing inside your head. There is a permanent cure through herbal treatment. I know there are so many medications and conventional treatments, my father went through these processes but it never solved the problem until we used Dr. Mohan herbal medicine which gave him a permanent cure. I am not marketing; the comments I saw here made me understand that many people need help with getting the right medicine. I have learnt that it is unwise to keep your path to success a secret especially when it has to do with health. Contact Mohan to know more about his herbal medicine. drajaymohanbose@gmail.com
