Medications for Tinnitus

Tinnitus Medications

One thing to remember when dealing with Tinnitus is it is a symptom and not a cause. This means that there is an underlying condition for which Tinnitus is a symptom. For example, stress, an abnormal blood vessel, or other issue may cause it. The result is that there is no one treatment.

Prescription

There are also a number of conditions, which can arise because of experiencing Tinnitus. For example, depression, anxiety, and insomnia are related symptoms to this ear disorder.

There are medications, which are recommended or have been found to be effective against the symptoms of Tinnitus. These include alprazolam, which is also known as Xanax. Decadron or Dexamethasone can help reduce inflammation when injected into the inner ear.

Antidepressant medication can help those who are dealing with the mood swings, irritability and frustration that can come with this condition. Misoprostol, also known as Cytotec, can also assist, as it is a prostaglandin analogue.

Additional Medications and Over-the-Counter

There are additional medications such as Lidocaine, Niacin, and Anti-seizure medications which have not been found to be effective in a compelling enough manner to encourage their use on a regular basis as a tinnitus treatment option. Additional ringing ears treatment options include herbal remedies and over-the-counter dietary and herbal supplements.

The medication and treatment option chosen depends on what is causing the Tinnitus in the first place. If it is caused by an ear infection then curing the ear infection generally causes the Tinnitus to resolve itself. This means the medication used to treat it would be an antibiotic, since the Tinnitus was a direct symptom to an ear infection. It is not always that easy. For example, there is no single pill that will remove the symptom caused by the environment. The result is finding the right combination of medications to deal with the symptoms arising from the Tinnitus, such as depression or anxiety.

Ringing Ear treatment options should be discussed with a qualified licensed medical health professional that can diagnose the cause of your symptoms and prescribe the necessary treatment routine.

Tinnitus: you may be suffering from it if you’ve experienced a persistent ringing, buzzing, hissing, chirping, or clacking sound in your ears, even though there is nothing around you causing it. There are treatment choices that can help you. There are many Tinnitus treatment options available today from traditional to alternative methods. However, there is no cure. The reason there is no cure for this condition is because Tinnitus is only a symptom.

Traditional Treatments

Traditional treatments include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and retraining therapy. They also include prescription and over-the-counter medications. These treatment options cover a variety of different issues. In some cases, you may simply have an ear infection; this can cause Tinnitus on a temporary basis. Frequent ear infections can create a situation where it may seem more permanent and may require additional treatment options such as retraining.

Retraining therapy allows your brain to relearn which sounds are important and which can be ignored. It works well in training your hearing to tune out the buzzing, hissing, or ringing noise you may have.

Alternative Treatments

Alternative treatments include ringing ears treatment options such as acupuncture, magnets, biofeedback, and herbal concoctions designed to relieve a variety of symptoms. Alternative treatments may not be approved by appropriate medical boards or backed by clinical studies.

Choosing an Option

How do you chosen an option? In some cases, it may be easy. There may be only one treatment option to handle your particular case.
