11. Ear Wax Removal
It’s possible that wax removal can help improve tinnitus if it softens the wax enough for it to spontaneously fall out of the ear canal on its own.
Eliminating the ear wax that is preventing sound waves from reaching the eardrum by way of the ear canal is one way to rapidly alleviate tinnitus symptoms.
10. Exercise
Regular exercise can help alleviate tinnitus by improving blood circulation. Improved blood circulation can provide more nutrients to the ears. Hence, the auditory system is nourished.
It’s recommended for patients do some low-impact exercises as compared to high-impact exercises. On the other hand, regular exercise can also help reduce associated psychological issues like depression and anxiety, which are common symptoms of tinnitus.
9. Nutritional Supplements
One of the most popular supplements for tinnitus is Ginkgo biloba. This dietary supplement has been shown to improve blood circulation in the brain and inner ear which can help alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus. It also protects the body against free radicals.
Vitamin B12 supplements can also help relieve tinnitus by stabilizing the nervous system.
8. Homeopathic Therapy
Homeopathy is an alternative medicine that is based on the belief that the body is capable of self-healing. Homeopathic remedies are made by combining natural ingredients and applying them in small amounts to the body.
Examples of a homeopathic remedy are kali mur, also known as Kali Muriaticum. This is a natural medicine that can help with congestion and prevent excessive buildup in the ear. Other examples of homeopathic remedies for tinnitus are Natrum Salicylicum, Chenopodium Anthelminticum, Graphites Naturalis, and Chininum Sulph to mention a few.
