Tinnitus. For those of you who don’t know, it’s that ringing in your ears that won’t stop. That ringing in your ears that only YOU hear. Well, there are ways to stop it but, as I said before, it will take a bit of trial and error. Because? Because not all tinnitus is the same. What do I mean?

There are several types of tinnitus, and all of these types affect people differently. The types of tinnitus are as follows:

1. Objective tinnitus – This is the type of tinnitus that your doctor will actually be able to hear. It makes a crackle near the ear.

2. Pulsatile tinnitus – This is the type of tinnitus that will beat in tune with your heart or pulse. Hence the term puls-ative.

3. Subjective tinnitus – This is the big one. The one that no one else can hear but you. The one that can drive you crazy. The main cause of this is noise induced hearing loss (NIHL).

Tinnitus itself is not a disease, it is a symptom. A symptom of something you have done that is now affecting you. That NIHL I talked about earlier is a direct result of being exposed to loud noise for long periods of time. Now the big question: What can you do about it?

There are several solutions that can help you, but you should remember that since tinnitus is widespread when it comes to cause, not all treatments will help everyone. There are several natural treatments that have shown promise and they are:

1. Apple cider vinegar – You can put 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in 8 oz. of water and drink. It tastes like shit, but some people use it and it works!

2. Garlic – Take a pearl of garlic oil, pierce it and squeeze the contents into your ear. Again, it sounds weird, but some people use it.

Those are just two of the many natural remedies that can help with tinnitus. There are many more that are out there. As I said before, there is no ONE cure for tinnitus. You will have to try several things. You may get it right on the first try, you may not. But isn’t it worth getting rid of that annoying ringing in your ears? I must stress that BEFORE you try anything naturally, you should first try to exhaust all means with your family doctor.
