Many people only experience short bouts of tinnitus, but it can last longer for others, often leading to feelings of frustration or distress. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to minimizing tinnitus symptoms, a few popular strategies may provide you with some much-needed relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Sound Therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1253\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/everhear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Man-with-tinnitus-holding-his-hear.jpg\" alt=\"Man with tinnitus holding his ear.\" class=\"wp-image-12221\" style=\"width:387px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everhear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Man-with-tinnitus-holding-his-hear.jpg 1253w, https:\/\/everhear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Man-with-tinnitus-holding-his-hear-350x234.jpg 350w, https:\/\/everhear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Man-with-tinnitus-holding-his-hear-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1253px) 100vw, 1253px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Sound therapy uses external sounds to mask the internal ringing of tinnitus. A few common therapy tools include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Noise machines<\/strong>. White noise machines play a constant noise to minimize the sound of ringing. You can choose between white, brown and pink noises or opt for nature sounds like ocean waves or gentle rain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hearing aids<\/strong>. Approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/hearinghealthfoundation.org\/hearing-loss-tinnitus-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">90% of tinnitus cases occur with an underlying hearing loss<\/a>. Not only can hearing aids help improve your communication clarity, but many of today\u2019s modern options also have a tinnitus masking feature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinnitus retraining therapy doesn\u2019t stop the ringing itself, but it helps you build coping strategies to reduce the stress and discomfort it may cause. By combining sound therapy with counseling, this approach aims to rewire your brain&#8217;s response to tinnitus, gradually minimizing its impact on your daily life and emotional well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Relaxation Techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stress can often aggravate tinnitus, and tinnitus can, in turn, lead to stress, creating an unfortunate cycle. To help minimize stress, try a few of these relaxation techniques:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Take class at SolarYou Yoga or try online meditation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read a book<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watch your favorite movie<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spend time with a loved one<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do a puzzle to unwind<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try journaling at the end of the day or when you\u2019re feeling stressed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose soothing tunes to play in the background<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drink a cup of soothing chamomile or peppermint herbal tea<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
