How to prevent tinnitus
1, relax

Sometimes, dealing with tinnitus can drive people crazy, but please remember that tinnitus is not a serious life-threatening disease. If you keep paying attention to this problem, you may become anxious and nervous, which will only make the noise sound worse. If necessary, you can learn some anti-stress skills to help yourself calm down.

2. Try to avoid listening to noisy music for a long time.

Many people, such as factory workers and construction workers, have to be exposed to a noisy and harmful environment at work. Some hobbies, such as hunting or shooting, may also damage hair cells. Therefore, it is very important to turn down the music volume. If work or business interests expose them to excessive noise, they must wear corresponding hearing protection devices.

3. Check your blood pressure regularly.

Hypertension often causes tinnitus. If so, tinnitus can be regarded as a wake-up call for a comprehensive physical examination, because when the blood pressure is high enough to produce tinnitus, it is entirely possible to cause serious harm to other parts of the body. Hypertension is the main risk factor of heart disease. Heart disease, unlike tinnitus, cannot be ignored.

4. Develop the habit of eating less salt.

Sodium does not always cause problems for tinnitus patients. In particular, patients with inner ear diseases such as Meniere's disease or hypertension should try to reduce sodium intake. Don't just take the salt shaker. Read the labels carefully and look for hidden sources of sodium in the diet, such as snacks, cooked meat products, frozen foods and canned soup. Find foods labeled "sodium-free", which means that each serving contains less than 5 mg of sodium.

5. Cover it with audio tape (or CD, DVD, radio or other equipment).

The opposite sound often counteracts tinnitus. Play pleasant background music at a low volume, or adjust the tuning button of FM radio between two stations to produce soft static sound. These external sounds may be more pleasing to the ear, or at least more tolerable.

Step 6 stop the noise

Anyone who has attended a noisy rock concert will know that the noise will reverberate in his ears for a long time after the music is over. If you turn on your iPod, Walkman or other portable music devices and find that your ears are still buzzing long after you take off your headphones, you may increase the risk of tinnitus. Worse, it may eventually lead to temporary or even permanent hearing loss. The more times you are exposed to noise, the greater the chance that tiny hair cells in the inner ear will be damaged. If you reduce the chance of damaging cells, you may recover, or over time, the central nervous system will establish a tolerance level to block noise.
