i'm gonna try the candle thing cus this chick at work is all into homeopathic medicine and she swears it helps with tinnitus...i'll let you guys know how it goes tomorrow :)
oh and aren't custom made earplugs like hundreds of dollars? |
Ear candling isn't 100% safe and it may not solve your problem.
Custom earplugs cost around 120+ $ |

Ive never used those to cure your problem, but just to unclog the ears of wax. They work wonders. :) |
Theres much debate on that subject, actually. Try doing the same thing only use your hand (in a fist). Youll get the same results.
I bet I can find a link... |

"Since wax is sticky, the negative pressure needed to pull wax from the canal would have to be so powerful that it would rupture the eardrum," says Lisa M.L. Dryer, MD, writing for quackwatch.org, a web site devoted to combating health-related frauds, myths, fads, and fallacies. |

I've tried those earcandles and I didn't feel any difference afterwards. I got tinnitus too, but not too bad. I hear a faint ringing when I'm about to go to sleep.
I got curious wether those candles did suck up any wax and cut them open with a scissor after I used them. Man the things I saw inside those candles.. gross! :wtf: |

See a freaking specialist. Some hippie ear clearing thing even if it worked would be far from solving your problem.
If you have serious tinnitus you may have to consider wearing a noise generator all day:
This is real serious stuff and you should not play around with it some people truly go insane because of tinnitus. |
