Can I use ear drops for tinnitus?

Tinnitus is a common symptom that can cause partial damage to people's hearing. Therefore, tinnitus should not be taken lightly and must be treated in a timely manner. Since tinnitus lasts too long and may lead to hearing loss, dizziness and other symptoms, it needs to be treated with medical means. Can tinnitus be treated with ear drops? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

It is possible to use ear drops to treat tinnitus, but the effect is not very good and it is easy to recur. You can refer to the following methods for treatment:

1. Use sound therapy. Sound therapy is a treatment method that uses external sounds to mask or reduce the sound of tinnitus. Sound therapy is performed in two main ways:

Through a small, in-ear device (which looks like a hearing aid). This device can emit white noise to mask the tinnitus.

By using music or other sound machines. Play these soft sounds in the patient's bedroom and other places to distract from the tinnitus. White noise, background noise, fan noise or terrarium noise can cover up the tinnitus noise.

2. Do not take stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. This is because these substances cause blood vessels to dilate and speed up blood flow. The accelerated blood flow is associated with a "hissing" or "rushing" sound in the ear. So, you need to replace these things with decaffeinated coffee or tea, quit smoking, and drink less alcoholic beverages. You should also reduce your salt intake, as high salt levels can lead to high blood pressure (which is linked to tinnitus).

3. Take zinc supplement tablets. People with tinnitus often have low levels of zinc in their bodies. Therefore, some patients take zinc tablets daily to relieve tinnitus symptoms.

Magnesium supplements and vitamin B supplements are two other supplements that may help relieve tinnitus symptoms.

4. Try using ginkgo. Ginkgo biloba is an herbal supplement that may reduce tinnitus. This is because ginkgo juice is often used to improve blood circulation, which in turn reduces high blood pressure and reduces ear noise. What is needed is a ginkgo supplement that contains the juice of the ginkgo leaf, not the ginkgo nut. Because ginkgo fruits contain highly toxic chemicals.
