Hudson - Hearing Loss Cure, Tinnitus Treatment, Stop Ear Ringing: Tinnitus: Tinnitus Treatment Relief: Learn How To Restore Your Hearing With Natural Homemade Remedies And Treatments!

Tinnitus affects 10-15% of the global population. In the United States, that translates to around 50 million people suffering from tinnitus every day. It is most often heard as a ringing in the ears, but can also take the form of a buzzing, hissing, or clicking noise within the ear that only you can hear.

Depending on its intensity, tinnitus can be maddening for those suffering from it; it can prevent you from hearing the world around you, keep you awake at night, or ruin your concentration. For many people, finding a way to lessen or eliminate the noise is necessary to continuing their daily lives.

Tinnitus isnt an ailment in and of itself but rather a symptom of several different conditions. If youre not sure whats causing your tinnitus, you may need to try a variety of remedies until you find the one that works for you. Some of the most common causes (and the most effective corresponding treatments) are described below.

Inner ear injury

The most common cause of tinnitus is inner-ear cell damage. There are tiny, fragile hairs lining your inner ear that move when sound waves hit them, sending the electrical signal to your brain thats translated into sound. When these hairs are damaged, they can send off a signal even when theres no sound wave moving them, resulting in the noise you hear in tinnitus.

The hairs within the ear cannot be repaired. If inner ear cell damage is the cause of your tinnitus, the techniques in chapter 5 may prove especially helpful. Also consider the herbal remedies and dietary changes recommended in chapters 2 and 3.

Noise damage

Prolonged or severe exposure to loud noises can also lead to tinnitus. Construction equipment, firearms, musical instruments, and power tools all generate decibels that can damage your hearing if used without ear protection. Listening to music on headphones, especially in-ear earbuds, can also damage your hearing.

Your first step of treatment should be to prevent future damage. Wear ear protection when youre using loud equipment or attending noisy events and avoid using earbuds to listen to music whenever possible, keeping the volume low if you do use them.

If your tinnitus developed after a single loud event, like a concert, its likely it will go away on its own in time. You can speed the process along and ease the pain by using the ear drop herbal remedies in chapter 2 and the manual remedies from chapter 4.

Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause irreversible damage, but the symptoms can be considerably lessened with the herbal and dietary remedies in chapters 2 and 3.

Illness and injury

Infections of the inner ear or sinuses can cause inflammation that leads to temporary ringing in the ears. The anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of many herbal remedies are ideal in these cases. Illnesses may also cause a buildup of ear wax which can be softened and removed using the ear drop remedies from chapters 2 and 4.

If your tinnitus starts after an injury to your head or neck, the manual therapies in chapter 4 may be more effective at relieving tension and reducing symptoms. This is also true of tinnitus that occurs while traveling, either because of a change in climate or altitude.

Other Health Issues

Some instances of tinnitus can be closely related to your diet. Specific vitamin deficiencies are discussed in more detail in chapter 3; ringing in the ears is also a common symptom of anemia and can occur in conjunction with food allergies or diabetes.

Hypertension or other circulatory disorders can also cause ringing in the ears which is likely to diminish when you resolve the underlying issue. Caffeine and alcohol are often triggers for people with recurring tinnitus related to narrowed blood vessels or high blood pressure. If the ringing gets worse when you drink a beer or coffee, constricted blood vessels may be the ultimate cause.

Medications

There are some medications that have tinnitus as a side effect. Included on this list are certain antibiotics and antidepressants, quinine medications (like those used to treat malaria), anti-seizure drugs, anti-anxiety medication, and steroids. If your tinnitus started shortly after starting a new medication, consult with your doctor before attempting to relieve the issue with a home remedy.

Certain over the counter medications can cause tinnitus. Certain NSAIDs (anti-inflammatory pain relievers, like Aspirin) may damage the inner ear. Some antihistamines (allergy medicines) may also make your ears ring as a side effect.

Natural Causes

A certain amount of hearing loss tends to happen as we age, a process referred to in the medical community by the term presbycusis. There is also a hereditary ailment known as ostosclerosis where the bones of your middle ear stiffen and join together, leading to a host of hearing issues.

In situations such as these, total relief of symptoms may not be possible but the suggestions given in chapter 5 can help you manage your tinnitus and keep it from interfering with your daily life. Some of the herbal remedies listed in chapter 2 may also prove beneficial.
