The following are the main methods for quickly relieving tinnitus caused by "excessive internal heat" (a traditional Chinese medicine concept): 1. Adjust lifestyle: Maintain a regular daily routine, go to bed early and rise early, and avoid excessive fatigue, which can help alleviate tinnitus symptoms. 2. Dietary regulation: Eat a light diet, consume more fruits rich in vitamins such as apples and bananas, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Drink plenty of water, and consider drinking honeysuckle tea or chrysanthemum tea to clear internal heat. 3. Medication: If tinnitus is severe, medications such as Qinghuo Zhimai Pian or Niuhuang Jiedu Pian may be used under medical supervision. These drugs have heat-clearing and detoxifying effects that can help relieve tinnitus. 4. Acupuncture therapy: For patients experiencing tinnitus along with hearing loss, acupuncture may be an option. It stimulates specific acupoints to improve the body's response to "internal heat" and thereby reduce tinnitus. Patients with concerns should seek timely medical consultation.
