Difficulty understanding conversations in noisy environments
Frequently turning up the volume on the TV or phone
2. High blood pressure and cardiovascular problems
Did you know that ringing in the ears can be linked to circulatory problems? Conditions such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis (clogged arteries), and poor blood circulation can cause pulsatile tinnitus, where you hear a rhythmic sound synchronized with your heartbeat.
What to do:
Monitor your blood pressure regularly
Reduce your salt intake and manage your stress
Exercise to improve circulation
3. Stress and anxiety
Your mental health plays a significant role in tinnitus. Stress and anxiety can cause or worsen ringing in the ears by increasing the brain’s awareness of internal sounds.
How to manage stress-related tinnitus:
Practice deep breathing and meditation.
Get enough sleep.
Engage in relaxing activities like yoga.
4. Earwax buildup.
A blockage in the ear canal due to excess earwax can put pressure on the eardrum, causing ringing or muffled hearing.
Solution:
Avoid using cotton swabs (they push earwax deeper).
Use ear drops to soften earwax.
Consult a doctor for professional ear cleaning if necessary
. 5. Medication side effects
Certain medications, including antibiotics, antidepressants, diuretics, and pain relievers (such as high doses of aspirin), can cause or worsen tinnitus.
If you think medication is the cause:
Consult your doctor for other options.
Never stop treatment without medical advice.
6. Ear infections and sinus problems.
Colds, the flu, and sinus infections can cause temporary ringing in the ears due to fluid buildup or inflammation in the ear. Once the infection clears, the tinnitus usually disappears.
