Ringing in the ears

[waugie14]

My dad has really bad Tinnitus, just seeing if anyone has or knows anyone who has this and what have they done to help it? He's tried everything natural out there. I think he should get hypnotized to lessen it maybe. He's been a contractor for 36 years so its pretty bad. Any suggestions i'd appreciate it.

Gingko biloba works for mild tinnitus.

High dose fish oils work as well, I'd lean towards fish oil @10-12 grams per day.

start wearing ear plugs.

also, have him drain his ear canals. Get a baby medicine dispencer, the ones that look like a miniature turkey baster. Gently warm some olive oil, fill the dispencer. Take a hot shower for about 10 minutes without the fan on. Insert in ear while leaning towards the opposite side, insert olive oil. Allow to sit for 2-3 minutes. Use the suction of the dispenser to remove build up in ear canal. I'm guessing this will help with a contractor. Even with two sets of ear protection, I've had to do the same thing numerous times after only 5 years. Particulate will get in there, no matter the lengths of protection.

If you've used ear candles you'll love my method. It truly feels great! It's much cheaper too.

Plus, after you get out any blockage, you can do the same thing every week with just warm water, keep them earls unplugged!

I'm 80% deaf, and have major tinitus; It got progressively worse in the past 10 months to a point where I can barely hear the phone. I found out was stress and the moment I started de-stressing, it got a little better.
