Tinnitus Treatments: Natural Remedies, Surgery, Drugs, and DIY Ear Noise Cure

If you have troubling ear ringing, humming, or buzzing, you may have a condition called tinnitus.
With 2 in 100 people affected, this unpleasant condition is quite common.
However, there is no magic pill to cure tinnitus; simply because it is just a symptom of a lurking ear problem.
The good news is, tinnitus can be quieted through different ways.
For most sufferers once the ear problem is identified and corrected, tinnitus is also cured.
For some who opt for just the symptom relief, quieting the buzzing sound is enough.
Surgical Options Tinnitus can also be caused by organic ear diseases.
Some with severe hearing loss complain about ear humming accompanied by dizziness and headaches.
Sufferers who had cochlear transplant (a procedure where surgeons implant a device inside the ears) claim that when they got their hearing back, the humming and dizziness also went away.
Although this is not a treatment option for everybody, people who had severe tinnitus have been helped by this surgical procedure.
Drug Therapy There are some drugs today that help lessen tinnitus symptoms.
Some people who suffer from Meniere's Disease take diuretics as prescribed by their doctors to help drain some fluid inside their ear.
However, these medications can have unpleasant (and some even lethal) side effects.
So please consult your medical doctor before taking any drug for your tinnitus.
And just to let you know, drugs are the most common cause of tinnitus.
Natural Tinnitus Cures
  • One rising cause of tinnitus is constant exposure to loud sounds.
    Too much noise from cars or music can damage the nerves inside the ears.
    Many people found that once they started avoiding extremely loud sounds, the ear buzzing also started to fade.
  • Excessive ear wax can also cause tinnitus by blocking the incoming sounds.
    Some sufferers who had their excess wax removed by their doctor claim that they have been cured.
    Some who opted for 'ear candling' say that the ringing in their ears has completely stopped.
  • Masking the ringing sound in the ear is also becoming more and more popular.
    Audiologists can prescribe tinnitus maskers, which are devices that look like hearing aids but don't amplify sound.
    Instead they produce sounds more acceptable to the patients than ear ringing.
    More than half of sufferers report relief.
  • Natural therapies like chiropractic and osteopathy seem to help some people with tinnitus caused by spinal misalignments in the neck.
    People who suffer from ear buzzing accompanied by headaches, extreme fatigue, and sleep disorders can have their neck checked by a chiropractor as these may be spine related.
DIY Tinnitus Treatments Today, there are hundreds of products (tinnitus maskers, pills, e-books, etc) online that are promising cure for tinnitus.
But which one really works is quite hard to distinguish.
Everyone's biology is a little bit different so I have two tips for you to consider when buying an online tinnitus product:
  1. Make sure that it is cause-specific.
    Meaning, it tries to help you categorize or diagnose the root cause of your tinnitus before offering solutions.
  2. Do not pay for something that does not work! As I've said, everyone's biology is a little bit different, so in case the product doesn't work for you, you should be given the option to get your money back and use it on another approach.
One popular online program called Tinnitus Miracle is currently 'hot' in the market because it boasts 95% success rate.
So my doctor friend and I reviewed this product: what's in it, what's special about it, does it work or is it another scam?
