Tinnitus Remedies That May Do More Harm Than Good

With millions of tinnitus sufferers around, it would be astounding not to discover loads of strange, whacky and downright unsafe tinnitus remedies being shared.  When you have as many frantic individuals as you do with this health trouble, they are easy targets for anyone saying they can provide comfort from the ringing in the ears that drives sufferers crazy.  Individuals who cannot sleep for the sound they hear and find their jobs, and even relationships, becoming too difficult – they’ll try almost everything to make it go away.

Ear candling is one of those tinnitus remedies that individuals coping with with the problem long-term will try.  This refers to placing a cone shaped object inside the ear and puffing smoke from a lit wick to draw out ear wax and any other other impurities that are supposedly in the ear. Some individuals even use cigarette or pipe smoke to blow into the cone shaped object. Believers in this practice swear that it results in a slight vacuum that pulls out the wax and any other things. Other people believe that the heat of the smoke will melt any immovable wax and by slanting their head to their side, the wax will slide out. Evidently, it is a bunch of rubbish without basis in science.  It can also be hazardous with the most common accidents being burns from hot candle wax but there have also been situations of eardrums being perforated during the procedure. A perforated ear drum is almost impossible to fix. The only way to repair it is through a surgical procedure which often times, the outcome is not so pleasing.

Other risky tinnitus remedies often involve herbal concoctions, sometimes quite a complex mixture.  With some supposed treatments, you’re told to clean out the ear canal using the solution.  With others, you’re in fact supposed to drink the concoction and it will somehow magically fix whatever is causing the tinnitus.  Most of the sufferers think these solutions are safe since they’re herbal in nature but many herbals may cause unwanted or even damaging side effects. Only a doctor with ample experience in this field should offer such concoctions.

It’s important that you avoid these risky remedies as the outcome could be worse than your current condition. You can end up losing the ability to hear completely. It can also make your current condition worse. Though, there is an all natural cure that hundreds, if not, thousands of people have used to find ever lasting peace from, the non stop sound.
