Tinnitus

Do you have ringing in the ears? I personally know people who have it occasionally and one who has it continuously for years. It's driving that person nuts!

Treating tinnitus is incredibly difficult. Often, the only symptom that the sufferer experiences is a ringing, buzzing, or high-pitched squealing in the ears. There’s often no inflammation or other signs that can tell a doctor what’s wrong, so treatments end up consisting of trying different remedies. It’s far from the best system, but, considering all of the reasons why tinnitus can present itself; it’s often the only way to go.

There are some major causes of ear tinnitus:
Ear ringing is often associated with age-related loss of hearing. Ear infections, head and neck injuries, dental and head surgeries, and disorders such as multiple sclerosis, thyroid disorder, vitamin B12 deficiency, and lyme disease are some of the causes of ringing in the ears.
Also the following can be causes of Tinnitus:
-Sinusitis and Allergies
-Repeated exposure to loud noise.
-Stress or Trauma
-Meniere's disease

How does one treat tinnitus? Well first off get professional medical advice. Your doctor is a good place to start.

In some cases the following can help with the symptoms of tinnitus.
Garlic, Gingko Biloba, Hawthorn berries, Acupuncture, Homeopathy and a diet geared towards anti inflammatory.
Since tinnitus can be debilitating do your research. Doctors often don't have the answers so check with naturopaths, homeopathy practitioners and research the Internet. Find what works for you!
