Excerpt taken from 'How To Beat Tinnitus Naturally'
The symptoms of tinnitus is typically an unpleasant ringing noise,
a buzzing noise, a whistling noise or a hissing sound in one or both
ears.
The symptoms of tinnitus can disrupt sleep and may interfere with hearing
conversations and other sounds.
The exact cause of tinnitus is misunderstood.
General thought is that it is not actually a sound but it is caused
by abnormal blood flow rushing through the vein in the inner ear, or
damage to the nerve in the inner ear by excessive noise.
Sometimes the cause can be associated with side effects from drugs
such as quinine and high dosages of aspirin, a build up of wax in the
ear can also be another cause.
Tinnitus is difficult to treat and the most common treatment by doctors
is to use a tinnitus masker or ear plugs to stop further damage from
excessive noise.
Some dietary changes may help the tinnitus sufferer:
-
Cut down on refined sugar and carbohydrates, salt,
meat and saturated fats
-
Increase in the diet fruit and vegetables and fibre
Some tinnitus suffers have found relief with acupuncture and it is
worth giving it a try.
Garlic, the B group vitamins, magnesium and zinc supplements are worth
taking because they are vital for nerve health.
In trials, extracts of ginkgo biloba was found to help tinnitus in
some cases due to improving circulation in the brain.
All the best
