Frequently Asked Questions
If you experience tinnitus, the first and most important step is to consult with a healthcare professional, preferably an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat doctor) or an audiologist. They can help determine any underlying causes and recommend appropriate treatment. In the meantime, it’s crucial to protect your ears from loud noises as exposure to high decibel levels can exacerbate tinnitus. Employing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can be beneficial in managing the stress and anxiety that often accompany tinnitus. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, can positively impact your overall well-being and potentially reduce tinnitus symptoms.
