Exercise Your Tinnitus Away



People with tinnitus often find that physical exercise helps their condition -- both physically and mentally. 

For instance, when your heart rate speeds up during a work-out, the blood flow to your inner ears increases too. Some tinnitus suffers find this decreases the noise in their heads. 

Exercise can be a safety-valve as well, used to relieve depression, frustration and rage often associated with tinnitus. 

And it's not just cardio exercise that helps: The meditative and self-disciplinary aspects of yoga can alleviate stress and help you focus past the noise. Reflexology (like massage) is another practice that if it doesn't actually help, can't hurt to try. 

With tinnitus, a normal social life can sometimes become hard to manage. 

If you join a gym or exercise club, it provides you with a place to go where it's easy not to be "social". In other words, the focus is not on chatting but rather on exercising. You still get to be with a group of like-minded people, but you are not required to join conversations. 

If sleeping is becoming difficult because of the volume of noise in your head, regular exercise might help with this too. Just by making yourself more physically tired, you may be able to get over the hurdle of actually falling asleep.
