8/11 Try ear therapy
Tinnitus can be caused by prolonged exposure to very loud noise. It can appear after a concert or if you listen to loud music with headphones. A buildup of earwax blocking the ear canal can also cause it. If you are stressed or prone to anxiety, you may also hear these ringing sounds.
9/11 Pay attention to what you eat
Also pay attention to what you eat. Avoid coffee and alcohol, reduce your salt intake, and favor foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and magnesium.
10/11 Consult a specialist
Of course, if these various solutions have no effect, you absolutely must consult a specialist. They may suggest cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you better manage your perception of tinnitus, or prescribe magnesium or zinc supplements, or even medication if the tinnitus is disrupting your sleep or concentration.
11/11 Identify your symptoms
If you haven’t seen any improvement in your tinnitus after a week, you should consult a specialist as soon as possible. Also be concerned if you experience dizziness, sudden hearing loss, or severe ear pain.
