Tinnitus is described as a ringing, whistling or buzzing sound in either one or both of your ears. While there is no known "cure" for tinnitus, there are several options to help you manage your symptoms. The severity of your tinnitus can be brought on by stress, so it is important to learn to manage the level of stress and anxiety you experience day to day. Here are some tips to help lower your level of stress and anxiety! -Reduce your caffeine intake... -Get a good night sleep -Practice yoga or meditation -Listen to white noise or other quiet sounds you find soothing, especially while trying to fall asleep -Avoid noisy areas (loud noises can exaggerate the tinnitus symptoms) Did you also know that alcohol consumption can increase your tinnitus symptoms? This is because alcohol increases blood flow to your inner ears and can enhance the ringing. To help lower the risk of tinnitus, it is important to take your hearing seriously. Make sure to always carry a pair of earplugs with you if you are planning to attend a noisy environment, and reduce the time you spend in that noisy environment.

Providing our brain with proper auditory stimulation by appropriately treating hearing loss is linked to reducing cognitive decline and dementia.
