Prevention of Tinnitus

Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common causes of tinnitus. Anything you can do to limit your exposure to loud noise will help prevent tinnitus or keep it from getting worse. Turn down the volume when you listen to music, especially if you use headphones or ear buds. Wear hearing protection when you know you’re going to be in a loud environment. And when you can, put some distance between yourself and the source of loud noise.
