Limit caffeine and alcohol, as they can overstimulate the nervous system.
Reduce salt intake, as high sodium levels can affect blood circulation in the ears.
Quit smoking, as nicotine can restrict blood flow and worsen symptoms.
Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
7. Seek Medical Advice
If tinnitus persists or significantly impacts your life, consult a healthcare professional. They may recommend:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you change how you perceive and react to tinnitus.
Medications: In severe cases, antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs may be prescribed.
Supplements: Zinc or magnesium supplements may support ear health, but consult your doctor before taking them.
When to See a Doctor
Seek medical attention if your tinnitus:
Lasts for more than a week without improvement
Interferes with your sleep, work, or daily activities
Is accompanied by dizziness, hearing loss, or ear pain
By taking proactive steps and seeking professional guidance, you can better manage tinnitus and regain control over your daily life.
