A few steps you can take to manage tinnitus include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Sound Therapy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Sound therapy can provide immediate relief from tinnitus symptoms.<\/a> This involves using external noise to mask or distract from the ringing in your ears. You can use white noise machines, fans or specialized tinnitus maskers. Natural sounds, such as ocean waves or rainfall, can also be soothing and help reduce the perception of tinnitus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice Stress Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Stress and anxiety can exacerbate tinnitus symptoms<\/a>, so effective stress management is essential. Engage in activities that help you relax, such as yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises or progressive muscle relaxation. Regular physical exercise, like daily walks through Frisco Commons Park, can also reduce stress levels and improve overall well-being. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and adequate sleep also supports stress reduction and helps manage tinnitus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seek Professional Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Consulting a hearing specialist is crucial for effective tinnitus management. A hearing specialist can assess your hearing and recommend appropriate treatments or devices, such as hearing aids<\/a> or sound maskers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following should be avoided when managing tinnitus symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Expose Yourself to Loud Noises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Exposure to loud noises can worsen tinnitus and potentially cause further hearing damage. Avoid environments with high noise levels, such as concerts, sporting events and loud machinery. If you cannot avoid these situations, use ear protection like earplugs or noise-canceling headphones to minimize the impact. Be mindful of the volume on personal audio devices and keep it at a safe level to protect your hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Ignore Underlying Health Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Ignoring underlying health conditions that could be contributing to tinnitus isn\u2019t helpful. Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and ear infections can worsen tinnitus symptoms. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider can help identify and treat these issues. Additionally, managing chronic conditions and ensuring they are under control can significantly reduce the impact of tinnitus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
