Tinnitus is a buzzing or ringing noise in your ears and there are some home remedies for this problem if you do not want to use other medical treatments.
The sound you experience may be continuous or it may come and go.
There are objective and subjective versions of the problem.
For subjective sounds only the individual with the problem hears a noise but other people around you can hear the sound as well if you have the objective style.
Each case of tinnitus is different and there is no universal cure for it.
If your hearing problem is caused by loud noises then earplugs can help.
Many times the sounds can be from another pre-existing medical condition and you will need to have the pre-existing condition treated to cure the root of your problem.
A popular home remedy is to avoid highly processed foods, dairy products and foods with saturated fats, as these tend to aggravate the ringing noises you hear.
Low blood sugar can result in an exaggeration of the symptoms and you should focus on eating a lot of fruit and vegetables as well as lean protein.
Vitamin A, zinc, choline, vitamin B and vitamin E are all important.
Sometimes the disease can be treated by just using your common sense.
Stress can make the problem worse, so practicing relaxation techniques can do a lot to curing it.
Aspirin can often make your symptoms worse so using another anti-inflammatory like Motrin or Advil is recommended.
Applying heat to your temple or neck can also increase the circulation to the ear, which can also help.
Reducing the amount of salt in your diet can help reduce your issues as salt causes fluid to build up in the ear and can make tinnitus worse.
Some individuals find that when certain sounds are present they don't hear their ever-present noises.
If this is the case you can carry around a recording of sounds that helps relieve your suffering.
