I have tinnitus. What should I do?
If you have tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears), it’s important to see an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist. They can check for underlying causes such as earwax buildup, ear infections, hearing loss, or other medical conditions. Avoid loud noises, reduce stress, and limit caffeine or nicotine intake, as these can worsen symptoms. Your doctor may suggest treatments, such as sound therapy or lifestyle changes, to help manage the ringing and protect your hearing.
