ENT, Andrew Cheng, M.D., Offers Tips for Easing the Intensity of Tinnitus Edison, NJ (PRWEB) August 12, 2008 -- An estimated 50 million people (according to the American Tinnitus Association) suffer from some degree of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) (http://www.lipoflavonoid.com/Pages/Tinnitus) that ranges from mild to severe - so severe that it can have a huge impact on one's life.
"One of the most important issues with ringing in the ears is the fact that it is traumatic to the person suffering from it, and it often affects their family or other close relationships, too," says Andrew Cheng, M.D., an otolaryngologist and clinical assistant professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at New York Medical College and ear health advisor for Lipo-Flavonoid (http://www.lipoflavonoid.com) (http://www.lipoflavonoid.com), a clinically-proven, dietary supplement that has shown promising relief for tinnitus sufferers. "The sufferer starts to believe he or she is crazy because the sound is heard clearly by them, but when they ask a spouse, friend, or anyone around them, that person does not hear this sound."
"For everyone who suffers from tinnitus, whether the cause is known or not, it is necessary for sufferers to take control of their personal situation for greatest relief, since it can affect a sufferer emotionally and physically to hear a continual noise that no one around them can hear," Dr. Cheng adds.
While there are some treatments available for tinnitus, or ringing in the ear, there is no real cure. Doctors suggest making lifestyle and dietary changes to help ease the intensity (http://www.lipoflavonoid.com/Pages/ManagingTheCondition) of the "ringing" (which can also appear as a whooshing or buzzing sound) including:
• Avoiding caffeine or alcohol
• Managing stress
• Avoiding exposure to additional loud noises which can aggravate tinnitus further (invest in a good pair of ear plugs)
• Taking Lipo-Flavonoid (http://www.lipoflavonoid.com), a nutritional supplement that contains a complex of B vitamins proven to help decrease the intensity of tinnitus. Dr. Cheng sees improvement in seven out of 10 patients who take Lipo-Flavonoid, which is why he continues to recommend it to his tinnitus patients. The exact formulation of ingredients in Lipo-Flavonoid® has been clinically-tested to demonstrate relief
• Controlling blood pressure
• Decreasing salt/sodium intake
If you're still not hearing well or your ears feel odd after several days, Dr. Cheng recommends making an appointment with an ear, nose and throat doctor or your health care provider.
