Tinnitus is not a disease in itself, but a symptom of other health problems, such as:
Hearing loss – especially related to age or noise.
Excessive earwax – can block the ear canal.
High blood pressure – can affect blood flow in the inner ear.
Problems with the cervical spine or jaw (temporomandibular joint).
Stress and mental strain – exacerbate the symptoms of tinnitus.
Supplements and medications – some antibiotics, aspirin, nicotine, alcohol.
🩺 When to see a doctor?
If ringing in the ears:
appears suddenly and does not subside after a few hours,
is accompanied by dizziness, pain, or hearing loss,
is so bothersome that it interferes with sleep and concentration,
it is worth seeing an otolaryngologist (ENT) or audiologist. A doctor can perform a hearing test and identify a possible cause.
🧘 What can you do yourself?
Although tinnitus isn’t always completely curable, there are many ways to alleviate it:
Avoid noise – use hearing protection.
Limit caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine.
Practice relaxation techniques – meditation, breathing, yoga.
Make sure you get enough sleep and reduce stress.
Use background noise – white noise, surf, nature sounds.
Make sure your diet includes magnesium and B vitamins.
