How to Cure Tinnitus Part3

Preventing Tinnitus

1 Protect your ears from loud noises.

Sudden, explosive like or prolonged exposure to loud noises can cause tinnitus or make existing symptoms worse.

As a result, people who work in noisy environments around loud machinery should take precautions to protect their hearing by wearing ear plugs or ear muffs.

Music can cause tinnitus if played too loudly on intensive audio or MP3 players for prolonged periods. You can solve this by turning the volume down to a safer level. People may also suffer from temporary tinnitus after attending a concert, but this should go away on its own.
Protect your ears by wearing earmuffs or earplugs when performing noisy household tasks such as blow drying your hair or mowing the lawn.[8]

2 Reduce stress.

Stress tends to aggravate tinnitus. Therefore you should always take time to relax and enjoy the company of your loved ones.

You can reduce stress by taking up activities such as meditation and yoga, practicing deep breathing techniques and avoiding stressful people.

Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep a night, as fatigue can substantially increase stress levels.[9]

3 Avoid using cotton swabs to clean the ears.

Cotton swabs, or Q-tips, should not be used to clean earwax from the ears.

Cotton swabs can merely push earwax further into the ear canal where it can harden and form blockages which lead to tinnitus.

Typically ears are self-cleaning - the wax will dry up and fall out by itself, so there is no need for manual cleaning.

If excess earwax does build up, you can use glycerin, olive oil, peroxide or special ear drops to soften it, or have a physician clean out your ears for you.

4 Exercise.

Regular cardiovascular exercise - such as walking, running and swimming - increases blood flow in the system, which reduces the possibility of some kinds of tinnitus which are linked to blood vessel/circulation deficiency.

Try to do at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise four to five times a week for best results.

Following a balanced diet can also help to improve cardiovascular and nerve health and might prevent tinnitus.[1]
