Can tinnitus be cured naturally?
For many people who experience tinnitus, a buzzing, hissing or ringing sound in the ears is something they experience all the time. This constant soundtrack is impossible to escape and it can make everyday activities and daily life more difficult.
Sometimes tinnitus
can be resolved through treatment of the underlying cause, but often no direct reason can be found.
If you're wondering how to get relief from tinnitus, the following
recommendations can help.
If you have frequent tinnitus, habituating is an important skill to
learn. Some tinnitus sufferers say that learning to habituate tinnitus, or
ignore it, is one of the best ways to find relief. How you learn to habituate
can vary, but it's all about breaking the stress cycle that occurs when you
experience a flare-up in tinnitus.
Relaxation
is important in two ways: First, it helps ward off tinnitus. For many people,
stress is a trigger for their tinnitus, so learning some
relaxation techniques can help prevent it before it starts. And when you
do experience tinnitus, calming your body—and mind—is a vital tool to help keep
it from affecting your entire life.
In some
cases, all you need to do is briefly refocus your attention on
something else to find relief from your tinnitus, which can often be achieved
by regularly practicing meditation techniques. These techniques below are
best learned when your tinnitus isn't active, but they're still worth trying
even if you're in the middle of a tinnitus spike.
Think of a phrase or
saying that relaxes your mind and helps you to imagine a peaceful place, and
simply repeat it in your head. While doing this, try to sit in a comfortable
position and slowly breathe in and out.
Similar to autogenic
relaxation, visualization helps to calm your body by thinking of a place
that makes you feel at ease. For example, if you are thinking of a beach, don't
simply imagine yourself sitting on a beach, but try to bring all of your senses
into play. Think of the salty smell in the air, the warm humidity, the sound of
the crashing waves, the feeling of the sand between your toes and the warmth of
the sun on your skin.
