Tinnitus Treatment focuses on managing the perception of ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds in the ears, as there is no universal cure. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include addressing ear infections, earwax buildup, or hearing loss. Sound therapy, such as white noise machines or hearing aids, can help mask the noise. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) are effective for reducing distress and improving coping strategies. Lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress, avoiding loud noises, and limiting caffeine or alcohol intake, can also help. In some cases, medications or supplements may be used to manage symptoms, but they do not cure tinnitus. If tinnitus is persistent or worsening, consulting an ear specialist is recommended.
