People with tinnitis should avoid ototoxic medications (drugs that have a harmful effect on the organs or nerves connected with hearing and balance). These medications include:

Aminoglycoside antibiotics when given intravenously or by injection. Common names for this group of antibiotics include Gentamicin, Streptomycin, Amilkacin, Neomycin and Tobramycin. Quinine-based anti-malarial's (Choroquine) or anti-arrhythmic's (Quinidine) Platinum-based Chemotherapeutic agents (Cisplatin) Some physicians suggest avoiding the antibiotic Zithromax (azithromycin) or the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Relafen (nabumetone).

Many ear ringing sufferers resort to playing some sort of background noise to mask the ear ringing. Tinnitus sufferers find that in a silent room their tinnitus seems to be magnified. It is thus advisable for people experiencing tinnitus to avoid total silence.

Experts recommend tinnitus sufferers to hold the ears close to the head and use the thumbs and index fingers to massage the outer edges of both ears, including the earlobes. Reflexologists suggest pressing or massaging the area below the last two fingers on the palm of each hand, and/or the sole of each foot between the little toe and the middle toe.

Exercise that increases blood circulation to the head may bring some tinnitus relief. Some suggestions are a slow run, walking at a good pace, , spinning and going for a swim.

Others have found that meditation and simply learning to relax has been helpful in reducing tinnitus levels. Not all relaxation techniques work for everyone, so it's important to find one that you are comfortable with.
