Tinnitus: Tinnitus is noise or ringing in the ears. There is no drug for cure. Tinnitus is not a disease, but a condition that can result from many underlying causes.

Question 2

remedies to reduce tinitus?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus relief: There are few remedies clearly proven to reduce tinnitus.  If hearing loss is sufficient, the use of hearing aids may "mask" the tinnitus sensation.   Background noise such as radio or fan in the bedroom can serve the same purpose.  Elimination of drugs such as Aspirin or Lasix (furosemide) which may cause tinnitus can help, too.  I would be wary of "tinnitus relief" medications, as little data supports them.

Question 3

what can be done for tinitus?

Accepted Answer

See ENT: Tinnitus in one ear, or that pulsates needs further work up.  A hearing test is important to evaluate.  Hearing aids, masking noise,  and sometimes medication can help.  Listening to mild music might help to relieve serious tinnitus.  There are some new treatments that may be expensive, but may help if you are seriously irritated by tinnitus.

Question 4

is there any help for tinitus?

Accepted Answer

Caffeine irritates cochlear hair cells, which can make tinnitus louder. Google 'university of maryland tinnitus.'  they have a tinnitus center there that has helped a lot of people suffering from this condition.
