Tips on How to Quiet Tinnitus
Tinnitus can be very annoying. The constant ringing in my ears is enough to keep me awake all night and make me cranky in the morning. Sometimes I wish I had an off switch somewhere to make it stop. I didn’t really know what causes that annoying sound in my ear, but after visiting my EENT, I found a way to quiet tinnitus.
First, I had my ears cleaned. Apparently, using ear buds to clean ears can push the earwax deep into the ear. The hardened wax can very well be the cause of the ringing. Then, he had me listen to soothing music that can drown out the ringing. Also, he prescribed some medication that can help me relax before going to bed. My tinnitus is still there, but at least it doesn’t bother me anymore when I’m trying to get some sleep.
