If it is not possible to limit exposure, earplugs or ear defenders should be worn.
| | Limit or avoid exposure to loud noises, such as music, power tools, gunshots, and industrial machinery. |
| | Wear protective earplugs or earmuffs if you cannot avoid loud noises. Do not use wadded-up tissue or cotton balls. |
| | Be careful when using stereo headphones. If music is so loud that others can hear it clearly or you can't hear other sounds around you, the volume is too high. |
| | Cut back on or eliminate alcohol and beverages containing caffeine. |
| | Stop smoking and using smokeless tobacco products. Nicotine use may cause tinnitus by reducing blood flow to the structures of the ear. |
| | Exercise regularly. Exercise may prevent tinnitus because it improves blood flow to the structures of the ear. |
| | Maintain a healthy weight. Tinnitus occurs more frequently in obese adults. |
| | Add sources of vitamin B12 to your diet. Vitamin B12 helps the body produce a substance that protects the nerves in the inner ear, and some think it protects against tinnitus. Good sources of vitamin B12 include milk and dairy products, meat, and eggs. |
