How to relieve tinnitus? These few tricks can help you solve it

From a clinical perspective, there are many causes of tinnitus. If you want to fundamentally alleviate this adverse symptom, you can start with treatment by changing bad habits, reducing fat intake, reducing emotional fluctuations, breathing regulation, acupoint pressing, combing hair and wiping ears, etc. The effect is still good. In addition, eat more iron-rich foods, such as eggs.

1. Change bad habits

Caffeine and alcohol often aggravate tinnitus symptoms; smoking can reduce blood oxygen, and the inner ear hair cells are a type of cell that is extremely sensitive to oxygen, so lack of oxygen can cause damage to the hair cells. Usually, you should pay attention to eating less fatty and sweet foods to prevent stagnation of phlegm and aggravation of the condition. People with tinnitus due to kidney deficiency should especially reduce the intake of warm and dry foods.

2. Reduce fat intake

Excessive intake of lipid foods will increase blood lipids, blood viscosity and cause arteriosclerosis. The inner ear is most sensitive to blood supply disorders. When blood circulation disorders occur, it will lead to lack of nutrition for the auditory nerve, thus causing deafness. The total daily fat intake of middle-aged people should be controlled at about 40 grams, and they should eat less fat-rich foods such as animal offal, fatty meat, cream, egg yolks, caviar, fried foods, etc.

3. Reduce mood swings

Tinnitus caused by neurasthenia is obviously related to social environment and psychological factors. When a person is depressed, angry, out of control, or anxious, it will cause autonomic nervous system abnormalities, the whole body will tense up, and blood vessels will contract abnormally, leading to ischemia of the inner ear and causing atrophy and degeneration of the inner hair cells and other lesions. If one can adjust oneself, face everything with a normal mind, and achieve a state of physical and mental balance, the symptoms will naturally disappear.

4. Breathing regulation

Breathing regulation is also very convenient. Every night when you go to bed, lie on your side (either side is fine), plug your ear holes with the middle fingers of both hands, relax your body, and when you exhale (regardless of inhaling), send the air to the soles of your feet (focus on the soles of your feet). If you have a stuffy nose, you can ventilate it in less than three minutes (the nasal cavity and ear cavity are connected, so it can cure tinnitus). Do this for ten minutes every night.

5. Acupressure to improve tinnitus

For example, pressing the Hegu point (located on the back of the hand, between the thumb and index finger, about two inches into the base of the thumb), the Tinggong point (close to the front of the tragus, in the depression after opening the mouth), and the Xiaguan point (located in front of the ear, in the depression below the cheekbone). Each acupoint can be pressed repeatedly for one minute to help improve tinnitus problems. In addition, if you also have dizziness problems, you can press the Taichong point (located on the dorsum of the foot, two inches above the middle of the big toe and second toe) to improve the condition.

6. Comb your hair and wipe your ears

Use the ten fingers of both hands to comb the hair from the front hairline to the back. When you reach the back of the head, place the palms of your hands on the back of the earlobes. Move your hands to the left and right sides, wiping from the earlobes to the cheeks one time. Repeat this process a hundred times.

7. Eat more iron-rich foods

Iron deficiency can easily cause red blood cells to harden, reducing their ability to transport oxygen and resulting in insufficient nutrient supply to the ears. This can damage the function of auditory cells and lead to hearing loss. Iron supplementation can effectively prevent and delay the occurrence of tinnitus and deafness in middle-aged and elderly people. Foods rich in iron include pork liver, beef, pork, chicken liver, pork kidney, chicken blood, soybeans, egg yolks, etc.
