Tinnitus Management - Treating Tinnitus

The Adventist Healthline Portland tinnitus control program helps individuals manage their own tinnitus so that they can have some relief in their daily lives. The program has a comprehensive hearing test, a tinnitus hearing screening, five nights of counseling and treatment sessions, and several additional follow-up visits. This program uses a unique six-step process to help you cope with your tinnitus. The following are the six steps followed in the program.

During the assessment process, your physician will perform a comprehensive physical exam. During this time, he or she will listen to your tinnitus symptoms using a variety of methods, including audiometry, which involve listening to your tinnitus to assess the noise level in your ears; and, a diagnostic hearing test which will look at the response your ear muscles make two different sound sources, such as the sound of a car driving by, a plane taking off, or even the sound of your television when it is on. Your doctor may also use a computerized listening test to evaluate how you hear in noise exposure.

A thorough examination of your ears will reveal any potential problems, including hearing loss if you have it. A hearing test will reveal if you are sensitive to noise, have tinnitus or not. Your physician will be able to determine whether you are likely to experience a new case of tinnitus brought on by an external noise or whether you will be able to manage the condition. There is also a good chance that the ringing in your ears is a one-time event and not something that happen all of the time. If this is the case, the tinnitus cure that you receive should be relatively simple and easy to follow.

In some cases, your doctor may advise conservative management. Tinnitus management involves reducing the exposure to loud noises as much as possible or avoiding environments where you would have to continually hear music at very high levels. Many people choose to use tinnitus maskers to cover up the symptoms of their condition as much as possible. This is often quite helpful for people who only suffer from mild ringing.

You can also reduce the intensity of the sounds in your ears by using hearing aids. However, this is not usually recommended as a Tinnitus treatment. Instead, you will want to try and eliminate any other causes of the ringing noise. For some people, this might be as easy as going to a doctor and having them prescribe something for you to take. For others, it could take a variety of different treatments to completely eliminate the ringing in their ears.

If your tinnitus is caused by loud noises, there are many ways that you can reduce this effectively also. If you work out regularly, you can reduce the impact that it has on your body. Many gyms offer a loud noise reduction policy. There are also many stores and restaurants that have noise restrictions in place. If your tinnitus is due to alcohol consumption, the same goes for you, many places provide special areas where you can get away from the constant ringing and buzzing noises.

When it comes to reducing stress, there are numerous conservative measures that you can take. Taking up a relaxing hobby such as yoga or meditation can help you achieve a state of relaxation and calmness which helps to reduce stress. There are also dietary supplements available that claim to reduce tinnitus in patients suffering from this condition. These supplements include vitamins and minerals that may help the patient to experience relief from tinnitus.

Consultation with your family physician is highly recommended when attempting to control or manage tinnitus. Family physicians have extensive experience in this field and they are always better equipped to provide advice on various treatment options. Some common methods used by family physicians to treat tinnitus include counseling, lifestyle changes, alternative therapies, and more. If you suffer from ringing ears, consult your family physician to determine the best course of action to relieve your symptoms.
