Instructions

• 1

  Start by plugging one ear. Keep plugged for up to one minute.

  Be sure that your hands are clean and also be sure not to apply to much pressure. The ringing should start to lessen or dull. Do not plug your ears if you have water or anything foreign in them. Clean them first, and use caution!

  Plug the other ear, and hold for up to one minute.

  If you do not feel comfortable plugging your ears, cup your hand over them instead and try to block out as much sound as possible. This method is most effective if only one ear is plugged at a time.

  Be sure to alternate between each ear until the ringing has stopped. If needed, repeat steps. If you have any pain or swelling consult your doctor. Always try to protect your hearing.
