Tinnitus is very common and most common things like listening to loud music, taking too much aspirin and old age can be its cause.
The use of cell phones, at today's rate can increase the risk of this persistent ringing in the ears or head.
Tinnitus, as some people fear, is not a disease.
It can be defined as perception or hearing of sound within a human ear, even in the absence of corresponding external sound.
It can be considered as a symptom rather than a disease.
And this symptom can be because of so many reasons like ear infections, foreign objects in the ear like a cotton ball that went in, or the end of ear-buds that remain in the ear after you take it out also, or even settling of ear wax.
Tinnitus is often referred to as ringing in the ears, but it varies.
People, at times experience it as whining, sound of the cicadas (locusts), hissing, screaming, whistling, roaring, chirping or clucking noises.
It can be consistent or intermittent.
There is an objective and a subjective tinnitus.
If it is objective tinnitus, other people can hear the ringing that comes from your ears.
This arises from muscle spasms that create crackling around the middle ear.
Whereas, subjective tinnitus mostly results from exposure to loud noises.
But it can also be the result of toxic drugs (they cause damage to the ear and include antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents).
Various medical conditions like high blood pressure, thyroid or sinus problems, a tumor etc.
are accompanied by tinnitus.
And, subjective tinnitus is more common.
Though there is no permanent relief from tinnitus, it can be controlled and treated to a certain limit.
When it comes to objective tinnitus, clearing the ear canal, using a neuro stimulator etc can help.
But, subjective tinnitus has to be dealt with usage of drugs and nutrients.
Mostly, combination of pills and ear drops or ear sprays are used for tinnitus relief.
Zinc supplementation, vitamin combinations etc are used in the form of pills.
The drops are used for reducing the inflammation in the ear, which will lead to reduction in the ringing and crackling in the ears.
The drops work hand-in-hand with the pills to reduce the disturbance and ringing and the pain that is accompanied with this ringing and crackling.
This combination promotes decreased ringing, buzzing and crackling in your ears.
It also helps or aids you in reducing the intermittent or constant pain that accompanies the ringing.
The product combination helps in minimizing or reducing, to a certain extent the symptoms of tinnitus and the suffering you go through.
The sprays are also used through the nose.
And one should wait till it drains to the throat.
While the pills take care of the nutrition, along with proper diet, the drops / spray helps in clearing the wax in the ear canals and also decrease the inflammation.
