Tinnitus Manual Remedies

Not all instances of tinnitus are caused by a serious medical issue. Simple

changes in our environment, whether it’s the change in altitude caused by an

airplane flight or a sudden drop in temperature can lead to a buildup of pressure

in our ears that leaves them ringing long after.

If your tinnitus is caused by a pressure imbalance, a manual fix will provide

much quicker relief than a supplement or vitamin regimen. Even in cases of

chronic or recurring tinnitus, some of these manual remedies can lessen the pain

or distraction caused by the ailment, even if symptoms aren’t alleviated

completely.

Whatever remedy you’re using, be careful any time you’re dealing with your

inner ear. The tiny hairs of the inner ear can’t grow back once damaged, and a

perforated eardrum could ruin your hearing permanently. Use an ear bulb to

remove any softened ear wax from your ears, and always move slowly and

gently.

Chewing

There’s a reason people say you should chew gum on airplanes. The action of

chewing and swallowing works the muscles around your Eustachian tube, the

part of your inner ear responsible for picking up outside sounds.

When you work these muscles, the tube is partially opened, letting air flow

through it and equalizing the pressure. That equalization is the “ear pop” you

feel when your ears clear. Though chewing alone won’t be enough to eliminate

chronic tinnitus, it can help to reduce the noise and ease any associated pain.

If you don’t have any gum handy, there are other motions that have this same

opening effect on the Eustachian tube. Swallowing and yawning motions may

also serve to pop your ears when they’re clogged.

Saline Solution

If your tinnitus is caused by excess fluid in your sinuses or a blocked nasal

passage, you can help to loosen things up by using a saline solution. Combine 1

a teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of glycerin, and 2 cups of warm water, then put the

mixture into a nasal spray bottle.

Spray the solution in both nostrils until you feel it start to drain down the back of

your throat. Do this three times a day until your nasal passages are clear. Your

tinnitus should clear up at this point, too.

Moist heat

The application of heat to your ears, neck, or head will do wonders for tinnitus

that’s caused by inflammation, typically those instances caused by illness or

injury. The Heat helps to relax the surrounding muscles and increase the blood flow

in the capillaries of the inner ear. Wrap a towel around a heating pad, hot water

bottle, or warm compress and hold it to your ear to relieve some of the pain and

pressure.

Breathing steam can also be helpful, especially if your tinnitus is related to sinus

blockage and pressure. Soaking in a hot bath or taking a long, hot shower can

help to relieve your symptoms and speed your recovery.

Moist heat has the added benefit of loosening the wax buildup that’s common in

tinnitus sufferers. Removing this wax can restore some of your hearing and

reduce the volume of the noise caused by tinnitus.
