'Ringing ears' is only one of the descriptions that are used to describe the symptoms of tinnitus. Others are ticking, clicking, hissing, whooshing, roaring, buzzing, and many others that depend on what the individual underlying cause is.
UNDERLYING CAUSES OF TINNITUS
The underlying causes of tinnitus -- or ringing ears as it is sometimes referred to -- are things like ear infections, inner ear damage, impacted ear wax, glue ear, auditory nerve damage, head knock, whiplash, stress / anxiety, meniere's disease, high blood pressure, sinus problems and infections, noise damaged hearing, anaemia, blocked eustachian tube, otosclerosis, some medications, and more.
NATURAL TINNITUS REMEDIES
And because mainstream tinnitus treatments, including some drug treatments with their horrible side effects, aren't seemingly very effective over the longer term, sufferers are increasingly seeking out natural tinnitus cures. Here are those 3 natural tips on how to clear tinnitus and stop ringing ears...
(1) Herbs
When taken with the usual precautions -- e.g. talking to your doctor about their proposed use -- herbs can go a long way to helping to clear tinnitus. One in particular seems to becoming very popular and that's Ginkgo Biloba. This herb helps to promote good blood flow and circulation to the inner ear. It is also a powerful natural antioxidant. Others being used are such as Black Cohosh, Hawthorn and Melatonin, and many more.
(2) Vitamins
Very many people nowadays are deficient in some crucial vitamins due to the diet they eat. Vitamin E is important for increased circulation, as is vitamin B, which also helps to reduce inner ear pressures thus helping to lower the perceived noise. And good-old vitamin C is vital for your immune system and your ability to fight infection which can lead to tinnitus. Vitamin A is also important in helping to reduce your vulnerability to noise. Eat plenty of vegetables and also consider supplements.
(3) Diet
An unhealthy diet can have consequences in terms of tinnitus, as well as your overall health, which in itself can increase the risk of tinnitus. A healthy diet means that your overall health position is much better, which in turn can help to reduce the effects of tinnitus. In particular, a healthier, more balanced diet, will have more vitamins, minerals and nutrients, etc., to help reduce the symptoms of tinnitus.
Typical 'good' foods are; red meat and green vegetables (broccoli seems to be especially good). And drink lots and lots of water to keep well-hydrated, as this seems to have positive effects on your tinnitus. 'Bad' foods seem to be things like non-green vegetables, pork, dairy products, salt, wheat, alcohol, caffeine products, etc.
The thing is that everyone really is different, so you should keep a daily diary of what you eat and the level of your tinnitus so that you can flag those foods that increase your tinnitus, and those that seem to decrease it, or have no effect. Also record your stress / anxiety levels at the time as these can also affect your tinnitus.
