If tinnitus is something that has started afflicting you, then a sound initial step is having a physician or nurse clean your ears out. Wax can make tinnitus worse, and cotton swabs can damage your ear drums.

Thinking positive thoughts can help you cope with tinnitus. If you are sitting around and only thinking about your tinnitus, it can be depressing. These depressed feelings can actually make your tinnitus worse. Stay in a positive frame of mind and you won't be as bothered by your tinnitus symptoms.
