Ways to manage tinnitus
1. Learn to relax
Sometimes worrying about tinnitus can make it more noticeable, so learning to relax can help provide relief. Slowing down the rate of breathing and relaxing your muscles are examples of simple relaxation exercises you can try.
2. Avoid silence
Increasing the ambient noise can help you stop focusing on your tinnitus. Some people find playing background music or other regular sound can be beneficial.
3. Protect your hearing but avoid overuse of earplugs
Protect your hearing when you are in a particularly noisy environment. However, do not be tempted to wear earplugs away from these situations.
4. Keep active
It is important to try to keep active and involved in your usual activities or hobbies as this can help to take your focus away from your tinnitus.
5. Keep healthy
Obviously, being as healthy as possible is good for your general well being. If you find certain foods or drinks or activities seem to aggravate your tinnitus, consider reducing them. There are several therapies available now which have been shown to provide long-term and consistent relief from tinnitus. You should seek help from a tinnitus specialist who may be able to provide one of these therapies or help you choose a hearing device which can provide relief from tinnitus.
