Tinnitus. Wear hearing protection only when needed.

Inappropriate use of hearing protection can increase the sensitivity of the hearing system, making you more aware of your tinnitus. Hearing protection should only be used when exposed to hazardous levels of noise that could damage hearing and potentially make the tinnitus worse. Hazardous levels of noise can severely damage the inner ear. Greater damage to inner ear could intensify the tinnitus.

Tinnitus. Avoid complete silence

By adding some light background sound (e.g. music, TV), the strength of the tinnitus signal will be reduced against the introduced background sound. The background sound can also be useful during quiet times or when trying to fall asleep.

Breaking the vicious cycle

For some tinnitus can prompt a number of emotions, including fear, danger and unhappiness. This can lead to physical reactions like anxiety and stress. These reactions often makes the tinnitus perception worse, thus establishing a vicious cycle.

Ultimately the aim is to break this cycle with tinnitus management.
