Tinnitus Treatment: 2 Simple, Everyday Items That Could Actually Be Causing Your Tinnitus.

Certain aspects of your lifestyle cause tinnitus, and either, or perhaps both, may be the cause of yours.

Toothpaste. Imagine this scenario: you’re going crazy, you can’t sleep at night because of that annoying ticking sound that isn’t even “really” there. And what’s worse is that you unknowingly cause tinnitus because of something you do every day.

Yes, this scenario can be true, and for some people, something they do every day comes in the most inconspicuous way, tooth brushing

Toothpaste can cause tinnitus. Think about it, toothpaste is loaded with chemicals and almost all synthetic chemicals have side effects. So just because you can use toothpaste legally doesn’t mean it can’t cause negative effects.

Toothpastes are made from different chemicals and are designed for different users, therefore their effects or tinnitus-causing power also vary.

One of the biggest culprits when it comes to toothpastes is toothpastes for sensitive teeth. Toothpastes for sensitive teeth contain potassium, which is a factor in hair cell function. Still, other people also develop the same problems even with regular toothpaste.

If you use toothpaste (of course you do!), I mean regular ones or those for sensitive teeth, maybe it’s time you switched to natural or organic toothpastes. Natural and organic toothpastes do not contain synthetic ingredients. There is a wide variety of them that you can find in health food stores or pharmacies. In fact, you can even use kitchen staples to clean your teeth. A pinch of salt and baking soda is enough to do the trick and can clean like any regular toothpaste.

Think about it, the tinnitus-causing chemicals in your toothpastes don’t do much anyway. The only reason they are used is to give your teeth a nice lather. Natural toothpastes do the same thing, so it is advisable for everyone (with or without tinnitus) to switch from regular toothpaste to a natural toothbrush.

EMI/RFI. Electromagnetic inference is not really a common cause of tinnitus, but for people who already have it, it plays a big role in making tinnitus worse. There are people who have unfortunately become ill due to the large amount of electromagnetic interference that is present around us.

Many electronics and appliances emit electromagnetic radiation, but this problem has become much worse in recent years due to the invention of two things: the cell phone and Wi-Fi.

Here are some steps to help you identify if you are among the unlucky few who develop symptoms due to EMI. Try to answer the following questions:

– Does your tinnitus suddenly stop when you go on vacation, specifically somewhere with less EMI like rural areas?

– Did your tinnitus start suddenly when you moved house, especially if you moved within the city?

– Is your tinnitus worse after using your cell phone?

Lifestyle: steps, actions and things to consider

Although difficult, reducing your interaction with any form of EMI can have a big impact on healing your tinnitus. The only way to determine if you are among the people who get sick with EMI is to remember your tinnitus history. Severe cases of tinnitus can cause illness, but most cases do not. People who get sick due to EMI usually feel sick and not just have tinnitus as a symptom.

Tinnitus is not only caused by either of these two aspects of lifestyle, but it is in a significant number of cases. Therefore, these possibilities are also worth examining, before doing the more extensive detection work: site-specific treatments.
