Tinnitus Relief

One thing many people don’t realize:

Stress and lack of sleep can sometimes make tinnitus feel louder — even if the actual hearing condition hasn’t changed.

That’s one reason many coping approaches focus on:

• sleep quality
• relaxation
• background sound
• reducing nervous system overload

Mine always seemed most noticeable when everything got quiet.

I have waited too long to schedule an ear wax removal appointment with my doctor. The ringing/buzzing is very strong in my left ear but I'm really hoping that removing the wax will subdue some of that. Has anyone here benefitted from this alone?

Once the ear wax is removed, I'm scheduling an appointment with an audiologist to see what options there might be to mitigate my tinnitus. The ringing doesn't usually bother me when I'm out working or in noisier environments but once I'm home, in the quiet, the ringing really is annoying!
