By Ashley Grabert


Learning to live with tinnitus can quickly become disheartening. Having ears that ring internally on a consistent basis can circumvent everything in your life. Searching for good information can seem as difficult as the problem itself. Read on to learn some of the best advice for easing your tinnitus symptoms.

Research has shown that stress, and depression has an effect on tinnitus. So if you happen to be feeling stressed out, try to take up yoga or anything that would help you alleviate some of the stress you are experiencing. If you have been feeling depressed, try to see what you can do to help yourself out of that funk. Sometimes changing your daily routine around could work, while at other times you might need your doctor's help.

Tinnitus can be caused by your work environment. Constant exposure to loud noise in the workplace is a common cause of tinnitus. Try wearing earplugs to protect your ears from the loud noises at work, or if possible avoid the loud noises altogether and find a job that does not expose you to the loud noises.

Try taking a warm bath with lavender in the water before bed to relax you and lower your blood pressure, thus lowering the volume of your tinnitus and allowing you to fall asleep quickly. It will also help you to relieve the stress from your day which can also aid in reducing the symptoms of tinnitus.

If you're having a difficult time falling asleep due to your tinnitus, try to concentrate on the background noises in your room. Figure out what is causing each noise and isolate it in your mind. Play with the sounds as if you're creating a symphony, and then focus back on each one by one.

When you start to focus on and think about your tinnitus, pinch your upper arm. It's quite painful and will build a negative emotion around thinking about the sounds in your ears. That should convince your brain to lay off and stop thinking about it, which will, in turn, reduce the severity of your symptoms.

One sure-fire thing that will make you feel better if you are feeling down in the dumps about your tinnitus is the fact that it could be worse. Tinnitus is something that you can live with. There are many people out there that have been diagnosed with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Be happy.

Yoga can stretch your muscles and calm your mind, but did you know it will also help with the symptoms of tinnitus? When you exercise with yoga it helps you calm down by concentrating on what you're doing, and it also gets you involved in deep breathing. Your blood pressure will lower and so will the volume of the sound in your ears.

Over time, many tinnitus sufferers will habituate to the condition and become accustomed to it. Although for some people who have acute tinnitus, this would be a dream. For mild tinnitus conditions the brain will become conditioned to this noise it will block it out almost all the time, except when it is very quiet. In these cases using some sort of white noise usually will help for sleeping.

Chewing gum is a way to combat tinnitus. Go to the store and stock up on your favorite brand of gum and leave a pack everywhere you may need it. A few places to remember would be in your home, in your car, at the office, etc. Always have a piece handy to stick in your mouth when your tinnitus acts up.

Quite often tinnitus is caused by age-related hearing loss. Since hearing gets worse as a person gets older, things do not work the way they used to in that area. Then these hearing loss issues can lead to the ringing in the ear. Once you are getting close to sixty, it is a good idea to have your hearing checked regularly.

There is a lot of conflicting information out there. Try not to get discouraged while you seek results from your tinnitus treatment. Don't stop your quest for information - you will find relief. Apply the advice you received in this article to your life, and you will find tinnitus easier to cope with.
