Tinnitus Coping and Support

Tinnitus may vary from person to person and finding a good coping strategy may depend on how the person positively responds to it.

Relaxation exercises – The past few years have been fruitful in identifying certain factors influencing tinnitus treatment. These factors included the patient’s ability to handle stress, his autonomic reaction patterns and his general well-being. Researchers have found a direct association of tinnitus symptoms to stress.

This means then that better handling of everyday stress by relaxing can be of great value in relieving tinnitus symptoms.

Group therapy and counseling – These activities can help alleviate the everyday suffering of tinnitus patients. Psychology can play a big part in helping you lessen the emotional effects caused by tinnitus. Usually therapy involves stress management, teaching in relaxation techniques and thought control.

Sound therapy – Immersing yourself to comforting sounds can lessen the tinnitus noises in your ears. Sound therapy can help improve your hearing performance and focus, increase energy and relieve stress. It can also provide better relief from the continuous buzzing and ringing in your ears.

Alternative therapies – Hypnosis, chiropractic and acupuncture are some of the wonderful alternative treatments that can holistically treat and even sometimes cure the symptoms of tinnitus.
