Your own hands are also in the list of home remedies for ringing in the ears. Often, when we move away from a noisy area our ears produce these troublesome sounds. Do you want to know the reason why? Our cochlea (structure located in the internal ear) has been damaged and produces inflammation and irritation.

The trick to alleviate the ringing lies in placing the hands on each of the ears and tap your head softly with your index finger. You will see how fast it vanishes!

Finally, if your ringing in the ears is produced by a poor circulation, a home remedy to reduce it is to take an infusion with blueberries once a day. This ingredient aids the circulatory system to improve the blood flow.

Thank you very much for your help. I have been having that annoying ringing in my right ear for 2 years. I saw an ear special and left with only knowing the medical diagnosis, no prescription, no treatment, but continue to search the web for home remedies. When I came across your article the heated cloth I knew that was the one to try. I used a hot towel 2x daily for 20 seconds, and got relieve instantly but continue the treatment for 2 weeks. At present I have no occurrence and pray it solve the problem.

Thank You,
Grace T

These home remedies will not help the severity of my tinnitus. Nighttime is the worst for me and I need
sleep. What do you suggest? I am a senior citizen and don't want to disrupt my balance also. This onset has caused me a lot of anxiety.
Thank you!
