Question 1

how to stop tinitus?

Accepted Answer

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

how do you stop tinnitis ?

Accepted Answer

Very tough: Tinnitis is very common, and often associated with hearing loss.  Technical hearing aides have dramatically improved over the years, but "tinnitis maskers" remain only partially of value.  On occasion some problem in the eustacian tube or sinuses can be provocative, and it is worth looking for.  Contact a good ENT specialist, and see what can be offered.

Question 3

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 4

how can tinnitis be treated?

Accepted Answer

Difficult: Tinnitus, a ringing in the ear (s) can be inherited, a consequence of high sound exposure over time, a complication or side effect of certain drugs and because of growths in the brain.  If you have tinnitus, you need to be evaluated by an ENT specialist to determine your hearing level and whether you fit into one of the above categories.  Treatment is sometimes not possible.

Question 5

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 6

is there any help for tinitus?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus: Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease, so it's important to find out why you have it.  As a sufferer myself, i've found that elimination of caffeine makes a difference.  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.

Question 7

what are the causes of tinnitis?

Accepted Answer

Hearing damage: Generally, you can think of tinnitus as a "phantom limb" syndrome following loss of some of your hearing (usually high frequency hearing loss).

A hearing test may be useful.

Question 8

is a cure available for tinitus?

Accepted Answer

Not really: This is a ringing in one or both ears, which can range from mildly annoying to constantly bothersome.  It may occur in association with hearing and inner ear problems and some consider it to originate in the hearing centers of the brain.  A variety of things have been tried, mostly unseccessfuly like various herbs and anti-histaminics.  Some find relief from masking sound. Good luck.

Question 9

how can i deal with moderate tinitus?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus: There really is no specific treatment for tinnitus. Tinnitus is usually due to spontaneous degeneration of some of the fibers of the 8th cranial nerve or sometimes to awareness of a normal pulse. It causes no harm except for the annoying noise. The standard treatment is with a "masking" device--something that makes "white noise" to distract you like they use in counselor's offices.

Question 10

what are the causes or sources of tinnitis?

Accepted Answer

see below: Tinnitus is not a disease, but a non-specific symptom that can be brought on by a mental or physical ‘change’, not necessarily related to hearing in the ear or the auditory pathway. Tinnitus can start gradually or suddenly and for some people are easily related to a specific cause.
Scientists disagree over the exact nature of tinnitus; it is believed to involve processes in both the ear and brain.
