Let's start by agreeing that with many cases of severe tinnitus there is no easy fix. That said there has been a massive increase in the number of cures and cases of lasting and significant tinnitus relief using holistic or natural whole being treatments.

If you are a severe tinnitus sufferer your priority will be for some immediate if temporary tinnitus relief .For you this might actually mean cutting down your intake of coffee or alcohol which in turn may lower the ringing in your ears to a level you can cope with. Perhaps use a masker at bedtime to help you get to sleep. Feeling more relaxed and generally more peaceful you can then get to work on other aspects of your general health to enjoy further improvement.

Your medical consultant who diagnoses your tinnitus will offer advice which will almost certainly include inspecting you ears for excessive wax and if necessary removing this. If you are one of the very few suffering withobjective tinnitusfurther traditional treatment could include surgery to fit a small implant though it has to be said that there are no guarantees of success with this so you have to balance this risk before agreeing to a even a minor surgical operation with the other risks this may entail.

The vast majority of tinnitus victims suffer withsubjective tinnitusand much experimenting has been done in this area. A number of different prescribed drugs and nutrients have been used with varying degrees of success and there is little doubt that temporary relief can be found by using noise distracters or maskers. This form of therapy may be useful if you have trouble getting to sleep particularly if the room is quiet.

In the field of alternative therapy procedures incorporating magnets, cranial massage, acupuncture, and hypnosis have been tried, again with varying degrees of success.

Very impressive number of personal testimonials from ex sufferers point to holistic tinnitus therapy delivering the most lasting tinnitus relief.  Obviously a better diet regime and perhaps a little exercise leading to overall better health also offers added benefits and a good incentive to ‘stick with it'.

So what is this holistic method about? If we can consider tinnitus as a symptom of a body disorder rather than a problem in the ear we can begin to understand why holistic treatments are successful.

The bottom line is that if your whole being – your body and mind – is healthy and working properly all your functions are in order and any ailment has the least possible chance of flourishing. Add to this perhaps herbal or vitamin therapy and you are on your way to being as healthy as is realistically possible. Many forms of tinnitus are affected by blood pressure and circulation problems so simply dealing with these may offer a side effect of quieter tinnitus noise.

There is convincing strong evidence that when you become all round more healthy, and learn to recognize what triggers your tinnitus, it will diminish significantly or even disappear.
