There are two types of tinnitus, objective tinnitus and subjective tinnitus. In objective tinnitus, apart from the patient himself, people around him can also hear the buzzing sound inside his ears. But in case of subjective tinnitus only the patient himself can hear the buzzing sound inside his ears. Subjective tinnitus is more common than objective tinnitus. Severe cases of tinnitus can be extremely disturbing, the patient may not be able to sleep or concentrate.
Common symptoms of tinnitus are buzzing, hissing, and ringing sound inside the ear. Sometimes the sound go along with the patient’s heartbeat. If the tinnitus patient is also suffering from Meniere disease then the sound in the ear may be accompanied by dizziness and hearing loss.
As a home remedy for Tinnitus, try to reduce your stress level. Breathe deeply. Put 20 to 40 mg of extract of the Maidenhair tree or Ginkgo biloba into your ears for four to six weeks. This will dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow to the ears.
Tinnitus patients should also avoid foods like saturated fats, dairy products, sugar, salt, processed foods and so on because all these food items tend to aggravate the condition. Say no to coffee, tea, sweet foods, and refined alcohol because all these result in low blood sugar which can lead to tinnitus.
Eat lots of fresh and raw fruits and vegetables in your diet. Eat a protein rich diet. Tinnitus patient’s diet must include vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin E, zinc and choline.
Keep blood pressure under control and avoid alcohol and smoking. Exercise daily to improve your blood circulation.
