Living with Tinnitus
Tinnitus — the ringing, buzzing, or humming sound in your ears — affects millions of people. While it’s not a disease itself, it can interfere with sleep, focus, and quality of life. At Forest Hills Audiology, we help Queens residents separate myths from proven solutions.
Common Myths About Tinnitus Relief
- Myth: “Cutting certain foods will cure tinnitus.”
Fact: Diet may influence symptoms, but it’s not a cure.
- Myth: “Ear candles clear tinnitus.”
Fact: Ear candling is ineffective and unsafe.
- Myth: “There’s nothing you can do.”
Fact: Multiple evidence-based treatments exist.
What Actually Helps
- Sound Therapy: White noise machines, apps, or hearing aids with masking features can reduce the perception of ringing.
- Hearing Aids: For those with hearing loss, amplification often lessens tinnitus intensity.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps manage the stress and focus issues tinnitus can cause.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Better sleep habits, stress reduction, and reducing loud noise exposure make a difference.
