What is the usual treatment for Tinnitus?
Conventional treatment of tinnitus is based on the underlying cause if one is found. For example, if impacted wax is the culprit, it is easily removed or, if a medication is causing the tinnitus, you would need to discontinue the medication or ask your health care provider to prescribe an alternative drug. In cases where tinnitus is caused by ear damage due to noise exposure or advancing age, very little is available in terms of medical treatment. Treatments that are available are generally used on a trial and error basis as different drugs may help different people.
