Do tinnitus home remedies work, or are they just a palliative measure?  Since the cause is not being treated, it's doubtful that tinnitus could be cured in this manner. There are many herbs which can be used for tinnitus, but unless you know what has triggered your tinnitus, then it's doubtful that taking herbs will cure tinnitus. Ginkgo biloba is claimed by many to cure tinnitus, however, if your tinnitus is caused by an acoustic neuroma,  a middle ear infection, impacted wax, otosclerosis, TMJ disorders, ginkgo biloba will not help any of these conditions. If the tinnitus is caused by impaired blood flow, then since ginkgo has a direct action on both arteries and veins to increase blood supply to the brain, then the outcome is very likely to be successful.

Many OTC remedies are bought by long suffering tinnitus victims in a desperate attempt to put an end to the unrelenting noise in their head. Unfortunately they not only fail to cure tinnitus , but instead leave behind a trail of side effects to further add to the symptom picture. Surgery has not been successful at curing tinnitus, in many cases the tinnitus has increased after surgery.

 

A few of the possible causative factors for tinnitus are:

Consistent exposure to earsplitting noise occurring at missile test firing grounds, steel stamping or forging units, high power rifle shooting ranges or metal fabrication workshops frequently end up with tinnitus in single or both ears. Listening to high volume rock music for days on end has also caused tinnitus to many.

·         Inadequate blood supply in the upper torso on account of narrowing of blood vessels in that region due to cholesterol can also trigger tinnitus in people suffering from high blood pressure. One of the most distinctive examples of this type of listening problem relates to pulsatile tinnitus where the patient can hear his/her own heartbeat.

·         Even certain types of food and drink like the grain-based alcohols, red wine, chocolates and cheeses can trigger tinnitus in many people who would never have suspected that unholy link between those innocuous consumables and tinnitus.

·         Some types of jawbone joint problems, especially TMJ problem, it has lately been found, can cause tinnitus in many patients.

·         Prolonged use of NSAIDs, cancer resisting therapies and some of the loop diuretics are known causes of tinnitus.

·         Tumors, non-cancerous growths or allergies near to the ears or occurring in principal blood vessels carrying blood to the head or neck region can trigger tinnitus in people who are susceptible to such conditions.

·         Tinnitus related hearing loss.

·         Microscopic ending damages that may happen to the nerves that is responsible for hearing.

·         When the bones in the middle portion of the ear hardens.

·         Middle ear infection that causes filling up of the space with fluid or discharge and even too much  ear wax buildup causes tinnitus in many cases.

If the root cause of tinnitus is not treated holistically, then all other treatments, whether they be home remedies, surgery, OTC, herbs or pharmaceuticals, will operate in a palliative manner, offering only temporary relief.
