Dr. Huang Shichang
The optimal treatment for cerebral tinnitus varies depending on individual circumstances. The following are commonly used treatment methods:
1. Lifestyle modifications: Reduce noise exposure, avoid mental stress, and maintain healthy habits, such as quitting smoking and alcohol consumption, and maintaining regular sleep patterns.
2. Dietary therapy: Consume foods rich in zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B, such as meat, seafood, whole grains, and nuts. These foods may help nourish the nerves and potentially alleviate cerebral tinnitus.
3. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM): Treatment is based on syndrome differentiation according to TCM principles. Commonly used herbs include longan pulp, astragalus, and wolfberry. TCM treatment should follow the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment and should be conducted under the guidance of a TCM physician.
4. Medications: Based on the underlying causes and symptoms of cerebral tinnitus, doctors may prescribe certain medications, such as sedatives, hypnotics, or hormonal drugs.
