There are several treatment options available and your GP will be able to refer you to someone who can help. Relax Learning to relax properly is one of the best ways to help yourself. Many people who practice regular relaxation techniques say they reduce the loudness of their tinnitus and helps them become indifferent to their noises. They also help break down the vicious circle of stress and anxiety that many people find accompanies their tinnitus. Why not try tai chi, qi gong, yoga, meditation or a relaxation CD? Keep active If your mind is occupied with something absorbing, it is easier to forget about tinnitus. Work, leisure pursuits and other interests can al help to provide a worthwhile focus. Exercise Regular exercise helps the body achieve a higher level of well-being and in most cases this helps people to cope with their tinnitus more easily, as well as help them sleep better. Use sound Have environmental sounds playing at a comfortable level in the background. This will reduce the intrusiveness of the tinnitus - this is especially helpful at night, whilst trying to sleep

There are many treatment options available for those with tinnitus. What works for one person may not work for another so it is important to try different approaches. If one doesn't work, try another one. It is also critical to understand there is no cure for tinnitus. The treatment therapy that works will help reduce the sound level and the annoyance but will not completely eradicate the sound.
