Tinnitus, the constant ringing in your ears, can be annoying and disruptive. However, it's a good idea to have a practical strategy that helps you manage your symptoms and keep them under control over time.
1. Protect your hearing 🛑🔊
- Possible loud noises that may reduce tinnitus, such as concerts, fireworks, and power tools.
- Use hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs) in noisy environments.
- When the volume is turned up, the voice can be heard even through a loud telephone.
2. Keep your ears clean 👂✨
- Excessive earwax buildup can cause tinnitus. Use gentle methods to clean your ears, such as warm water or over-the-counter ear drops.
- Do not use wattage swabs, as these can allow you to examine the earwax deeper in the ear canal.
- An art if you suspect your ears are blocked or if you want to have your ears professionally cleaned.
