What Is Tinnitus

Tinnitus affects 10-15% of the global population. In the United States, that

translates to around 50 million people suffering from tinnitus every day. It is

most often heard as a ringing in the ears, but can also take the form of a buzzing,

hissing, or clicking noise within the ear that only you can hear.

Depending on its intensity, tinnitus can be maddening for those suffering from it;

it can prevent you from hearing the world around you, keep you awake at night,

or ruin your concentration. For many people, finding a way to lessen or

eliminate the noise is necessary to continuing their daily lives.

Tinnitus isn’t an ailment in and of itself but rather a symptom of several different

conditions. If you’re not sure what’s causing your tinnitus, you may need to try a

variety of remedies until you find the one that works for you. Some of the most

common causes (and the most effective corresponding treatments) are described

below.

Inner ear injury

The most common cause of tinnitus is inner-ear cell damage. There are tiny,

fragile hairs lining your inner ear that move when sound waves hit them, sending

the electrical signal to your brain that’s translated into sound. When these hairs

are damaged, they can send off a signal even when there’s no sound wave

moving them, resulting in the noise you hear in tinnitus.

The hairs within the ear cannot be repaired. If inner ear cell damage is the cause

of your tinnitus.

Noise damage

Prolonged or severe exposure to loud noises can also lead to tinnitus.

Construction equipment, firearms, musical instruments, and power tools all

generate decibels that can damage your hearing if used without ear protection.

Listening to music on headphones, especially in-ear earbuds, can also damage

your hearing.

Your first step of treatment should be to prevent future damage. Wear ear

protection when you’re using loud equipment or attending noisy events and

avoid using earbuds to listen to music whenever possible, keeping the volume

low if you do use them.

If your tinnitus developed after a single loud event, like a concert, it’s likely it

will go away on its own in time. You can speed the process along and ease the

pain by using the ear drop or herbal remedies.

Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause irreversible damage. The

symptoms can be considerably lessened with herbs and dietary remedies.

Illness and injury

Infections of the inner ear or sinuses can cause inflammation that leads to

temporary ringing in the ears. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties

of many herbal remedies are ideal in these cases. Illnesses may also cause a

buildup of ear wax which can be softened and removed using ear drop.

If your tinnitus starts after an injury to your head or neck, manual therapies

maybe more effective at relieving tension and reducing symptoms.

This is also true of tinnitus that occurs while traveling, either because of a

change in climate or altitude.

Other Health Issues

Some instances of tinnitus can be closely related to your diet. Specific vitamin

deficiencies. Ringing in the ears is also a common symptom of anemia and can

occur in conjunction with food allergies or diabetes.

Hypertension or other circulatory disorders can also cause ringing in the ears

which is likely to diminish when you resolve the underlying issue. Caffeine and

alcohol are often triggered for people with recurring tinnitus related to narrowed

blood vessels or high blood pressure. If the ringing gets worse when you drink a

beer or coffee, constricted blood vessels may be the ultimate cause.

Medications

There are some medications that have tinnitus as a side effect. Included on this

lists are certain antibiotics and antidepressants, quinine medications (like those

used to treat malaria), anti-seizure drugs, anti-anxiety medication, and steroids.

If your tinnitus started shortly after starting a new medication, consult with your

doctor before attempting to relieve the issue with a home remedy.

Certain over-the-counter medications can cause tinnitus. Certain NSAIDs (antiinflammatory

pain relievers, like Aspirin) may damage the inner ear. Some

antihistamines (allergy medicines) may also make your ears ring as a side effect.

Natural Causes

A certain amount of hearing loss tends to happen as we age, a process referred to

in the medical community by the term presbycusis. There is also a hereditary

ailment known as ostosclerosis where the bones of your middle ear stiffen and

join together, leading to a host of hearing issues.

In situations such as these, total relief of symptoms may not be possible,

Things to Avoid

Whether you suffer from chronic and recurring tinnitus or your ailment is more

temporary, there are certain things that can trigger the onset or worsen of

symptoms.

The exact triggers can vary from person to person, so keep track of things that

seem to make your tinnitus worse. Not only will this help you avoid them in the

future, but it may be a clue as to the underlying cause.

Alcohol

Having three or more drinks in one sitting temporarily increases your blood

pressure, an effect that’s especially pronounced in smaller blood vessels (like

those in your inner ear). Frequent alcohol consumption can lead to a more longterm

increase in blood pressure, which could, in turn, contribute to chronic

tinnitus.

Dehydration can sometimes prompt the onset or worsening of tinnitus

symptoms. Since the consumption of alcohol dehydrates you, staying well

hydrated when you go drinking could be one way to avoid the morning-after

ringing in your ears. If you smoke when you drink (or drink in smoky bars) the

added dehydration and inflammation will make the problem worse.

Aspirin

Tinnitus and hearing loss are listed on the label as potential side effects of longterm

Aspirin use. The cause is believed to be the active ingredient salicylic acid,

which may alter the structure of the cochlea over time. Other over-the-counter

pain medications may also contribute to tinnitus, though none have been directly

implicated.

Ironically, inflammation of the inner ear is one possible cause of short-term

tinnitus, so while Aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs can aggravate

chronic cases they may provide relief from temporary occurrences caused by

infections of the sinuses or respiratory tract.

Caffeine

The world’s most popular stimulant, caffeine increases your blood pressure and

heart rate, which can make the ringing in your ears louder in the short term. It

also constricts your capillaries, which limits blood flow to your head, neck, and

ears and can aggravate your tinnitus.

As with alcohol consumption, drinking certain caffeinated beverages (like soda

and energy drinks) can dehydrate you, further contributing to your tinnitus

symptoms.

Staying well-hydrated is one thing you can do to prevent symptom recurrence,

but especially if your tinnitus is linked to a circulatory disorder, reducing your

caffeine intake should result in a reduction of symptoms.

Nicotine

Smoking contributes to tinnitus in a number of ways. The smoke itself is an

irritant that can cause inflammation in the ear, nose, and throat, increasing

pressure in the inner ear.

As with caffeine and alcohol, the dehydrating effects of nicotine may also play a

role. If quitting smoking isn’t an option, staying well hydrated should lessen

symptoms slightly.

Though smoking is the worst nicotine offender when it comes to tinnitus, even

smokeless tobacco can exacerbate your symptoms. Nicotine impairs blood flow

to the nerve cells that control hearing and like caffeine the stimulant effects can

make the ringing louder. This also goes for e-cigarettes and vape pens, which

still contain nicotine though the carcinogen content is lower

Salt

Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure and increase the intensity of

inner-ear ringing. If you suffer from hypertension and develop tinnitus that

doesn’t seem to be brought on by another factor, reducing your salt intake could

relieve the pressure in your ear and eliminate the ringing.

Loud Noises

The most common cause of temporary tinnitus is an injury to the inner ear caused

by excessive noise. In these instances, avoiding more loud noises is the best way

to speed your recovery.

Keep the volume in your car low. Avoid using earbud-style headphones if you

can; if you have to use them, keep the volume under 60% and give your ears a

break every hour or so.

If you’re a musician or construction worker and deal with loud noises as a part

of your daily life, the importance of ear protection cannot be overstated. If you

can’t hear someone talking to you from arm’s length away the decibels are high

enough to cause hearing damage.

Using ear-plugs or other protection will not only reduce your discomfort in the

short-term but will prevent the problem from developing into something more

serious.
