11. 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.
10. Diet
Avoid foods that increase the risk of developing the condition. For instance, red meat, butter, and cheese contain high amounts of saturated fat, which can increase cholesterol levels and cause atherosclerosis. This condition is related to high blood pressure and heart disease.
Reducing salt intake can also help. Salt is a major contributor to high blood pressure, which can exacerbate the symptoms of tinnitus.
9. 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.
8. 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.
