Home Remedy for Ringing in Ears After Being at Loud Clubs

The condition of ringing ears is termed tinnitus. It is commonly caused by exposure to loud noises such as loud music at a club. The ringing can cause depression, stress, dizziness, and a weak immune system. Tinnitus usually goes away on its own but there are several ways to treat it to minimize the discomfort of ringing ears.

Clean Ears

• Remove any ear wax. Sometimes ringing ears is a symptom of earwax buildup. Ear drops are available to dissolve wax.

Eat Healthy

• Refrain from eating foods high in sodium or drinking caffeinated beverages and alcohol, which may change the composition of fluids in the ear, resulting in swelling and pressure buildup. Instead, eat foods rich in vitamin B12 such as eggs, meat, poultry and fish. Vegetarians and vegans can take vitamin B12 supplements. Researchers from University of Michigan found that 47 percent of people with tinnitus were also found to be deficient in vitamin B12.

  If you have no other health problems, do not take medication. According to David Marty, M.D., an otolaryngologist and author of The Ear Book, taking aspirin can make the condition worse. Side effects of other anti-inflammatory drugs may also cause tinnitus.

Avoid loud noise

• Avoid exposure to loud noise. Refrain from attending clubs and rock concerts, or wear ear plugs designed to muffle the high end noise that can damage the sensitive ear membranes. Instead, relax with music at a low level which can make the ringing less noticeable. Wear proper ear protection if you work in an environment with equipment such as jackhammers, jet engines or lawnmowers. Understand that the condition is cumulative. Ear damage occurs with each exposure to loud noise.
