“I have tinnitus. Is there anything that will stop it?”

– Seeking Silence

Hi Seeking,

The constant ringing, buzzing, or whistling of tinnitus is enough to drive anyone crazy.

First, let’s get one thing straight—tinnitus isn’t an ear problem. It’s a brain problem. Your brain creates noise where there isn’t any.

Several natural approaches show promise in managing tinnitus symptoms:

• Ginkgo Biloba: This ancient herb has been used for centuries to improve circulation. Some studies suggest it can help reduce tinnitus by increasing blood flow to the brain and ear.
• Zinc: Researchers have found a link between zinc deficiency and tinnitus. If you’re low in this essential mineral, zinc-rich foods (meat, shellfish, legumes, and seeds) or supplements could help quiet the noise.
• B Vitamins: These crucial vitamins are necessary for healthy nerve function.
• Meditation and Mindfulness: While these practices won’t stop the ringing, they can change how your brain perceives it, essentially doing the same thing. Mindfulness-based stress reduction can significantly improve tinnitus-related distress. [CLICK HERE to discover how to practice mindfulness yourself.)
• Acupuncture: This ancient Chinese practice might help some tinnitus sufferers. While results are mixed, some studies show promising outcomes for certain types of tinnitus.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: While we don’t have any research to back it up yet, some tinnitus sufferers swear by a mixture of apple cider vinegar and honey to reduce or even eliminate symptoms. Drinking two tablespoons of the mixture before meals has helped some folks whose tinnitus was triggered by infection.

Remember, what works for one person might not work for another. Tinnitus is a complex condition, and finding relief often involves a bit of trial and error.

It’s also crucial to address lifestyle factors that can make your tinnitus symptoms worse:

• Limit exposure to loud noises
• Manage stress levels
• Get enough sleep
• Reduce caffeine and alcohol
• Exercise regularly to improve circulation

With persistence and patience one of these natural approaches could help turn down the volume on your tinnitus.
