Removing an earwax blockage can reduce tinnitus symptoms and treat a blood vessel condition. Underlying blood vessel conditions may require medication, surgery, or other treatment to address the problem, such as hearing aids. Serious head or neck injuries can cause nerve, blood flow, and muscle problems that cause somatic tinnitus. Treating underlying physical trauma through drug therapy, osteopathy, physical therapy, or chiropractic can, in turn, remedy the symptoms of tinnitus.
In extreme cases, surgical practices, such as neurectomy or microvascular decompression, may be necessary. Patients with these lesions should consult their doctor to determine the best treatment. Exercise is a key way to manage stress and is good for both the brain and the body. If tinnitus is related to high blood pressure, increasing your activity level may help to better control your blood pressure and reduce tinnitus.
Just be careful if you go to a gym with loud music. If tinnitus is caused by an underlying health condition, treating the condition will help stop or reduce the sounds you hear.
