| Tinnitus is a buzzing or hissing sound in the ear which is either constant or happens at frequent intervals. Tinnitus is of two types, subjective tinnitus and objective tinnitus. In the later, even others are able to listen to the buzzing sound of the patient’s ear while in subjective tinnitus only the patient hears the buzzing sound. Not only does tinnitus cause loss of sleep, it also troubles one from concentrating on anything because of a constant buzzing. It also adds to mental trauma and affects the sharpness of hearing. Tinnitus might be caused due to damage of the cochlear or inner ear nerve damage from a severe blow or too loud a sound. It may also be due to a sinus congestion or excessive stress and anxiety in a person. There are quite a few home remedies that one can try out to cure tinnitus. Cure for tinnitus includes some habitual remedies and some changes in the diet. Those with tinnitus should best avoid fatty food or food containing greasy substances, foods which are processed and have lot of sugar and salts like chocolates, beverages, alcohol and even coffee and tea. Food that contains Vitamin A, Vitamin B and Vitamin E, zinc, proteins and choline like sea food, garlic and green vegetables should be a part of the diet as much as possible. If tinnitus was caused due to loud sounds, wearing ear plugs to protect the ears for a few days will help. On the other hand, if sinus was the root cause of it, a pinch of salt and glycerin in warm water can be used as a nasal spray. This helps open up the congestion and free drainage of the mucus. Anything to do with good blood circulation like exercises and eating dry fruits will help curing tinnitus. There are some basic things that can help with tinnitus treatment too. Keeping a low level of noise around by keeping the volumes of television and sound system low or wearing wax or rubber plugs is one of the precautionary measures. One can also ensure that they are not extensively stressed out. Going for regular exercises, relaxing and meditating can also help in curing tinnitus to a certain extent. For the same reason acupuncture, massage and hypnosis are popular therapies for curing tinnitus. Tinnitus is one of those cases that can also be treated by treatment of thoughts and attitude. Staying optimistic really produces good results. Doctors also employ cognitive behavior treatment where they try to eliminate unwanted thoughts and beliefs and the behavioral response of the brain towards them. Antibiotics are usually prescribed by the doctor when the tinnitus is caused by ear infection. Similarly very low dosage of anti-depressants can help get rid of stress or pain that has been there for a long period. Tinnitus cure might require a surgery if the cause is a tumor that needs to be removed. Electromagnetic stimulation and distraction techniques asking a person to concentrate on other things rather than the sound of tinnitus are helpful too.
