If you’ve encountered chronic ringing or buzzing in the years, you probably found it distracting and worrying. Tinnitus is the term for ringing in the ears, and help is available. Many patients simply live with their condition and become frustrated. Sometimes a general practitioner will tell them that there is no treatment. They leave their patient feeling that there is no solution. This is not true. Medical treatment may be possible.

Tinnitus: Is There Anything You Can Do?

Tinnitus is a common condition. Many different issues can cause it. Your general practitioner can eliminate some possible causes. These include a buildup of wax or an environmental cause. After you’ve consulted with your doctor, it’s time to visit with a specialist who knows about tinnitus. At Associates of Otolaryngology (AOO), we have six board-certified specialists who can help. Each physician offers his or her unique studies and clinical experience to provide solutions for patients with ENT issues. We’ve been serving the Denver area for forty years. See us, and find the treatment that can help you. 

You Can Take Steps To Treat The Issue Yourself

You don’t need to live with tinnitus. Take these steps to treat your symptoms. You may want to experiment to see which tips work best for you.

Treatment Tips:

• Don’t use ear swabs to try and stop the sensation of tinnitus.
• Do practice breathing and relaxation. This relaxes the muscles around the ears and may reduce symptoms.
• Wear ear protection in loud environments.
• Avoid silence. Use gentle white noise to distract yourself.
• Stay active in life. This provides healthy aspects of living, and it distracts from tinnitus.
• Protect your health. Stay as healthy as possible so you can be strong despite the condition. This also reduces possible causes.
• Observe if foods or drinks seem to aggravate your tinnitus. Report this to your doctor.
• Experiment with warm or cool compresses to see which may help reduce symptoms.
