The constant noise is annoying, disruptive, distracting, and painful. In one study of 100 tinnitus patients, only 25 had no stress, 44 had mild to moderate stress, and 31 had severe stress levels.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, periods of intense stress can also lead to the development of tinnitus. Nearly 54% of individuals with tinnitus reported that their tinnitus had appeared during a stressful period of their life, and 52% said that their tinnitus increased during stressful periods.<sup>1<\/sup> So, knowing all this information, what\u2019s a current or potential tinnitus sufferer to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, recognize that you can\u2019t eliminate the stress caused by tinnitus or other life events. What you can do is try to lessen the impact the stress has by using different coping strategies, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly\u2014Load up on veggies and fruit, then head out for a walk.<\/li><li>Getting a good night\u2019s sleep\u2014Fatigue can worsen tinnitus, so try to sleep at least eight hours a night.<\/li><li>Finding time to relax\u2014Even 15 minutes a day of yoga or meditation can make a difference.<\/li><li>Avoiding caffeine and alcohol\u2014Both can cause your blood pressure to increase, which can make tinnitus flare.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, talk to your doctor about your tinnitus management plan. From cognitive-behavioral therapy to hearing aids, you may be surprised at the variety of options available. Hearing aids, in particular, can prove helpful. According to one study, nearly 60% of patients found relief from tinnitus by using hearing aids alone.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering if hearing aids could help your tinnitus?
