Earwax removal and ear rinsing: Most tinnitus cases are caused by irritation from moisture or secretions in the external auditory canal. Generally, symptoms can resolve after proper cleaning of the external ear canal. An otoscopic examination can be performed to clean the external auditory canal and monitor treatment effectiveness. When necessary, supportive treatments such as neurotrophic agents, vasodilators, and symptomatic management may be used to promote recovery. Patients experiencing tinnitus should ensure adequate rest.
