Home cures for ringing in the ear
  • Put 2 to 3 drops of olive oil or castor oil in the ear two times a day. Cover your ears with cotton plugs.
  • Eat plenty of papaya, spinach, brussels sprouts, cowpeas, cucumbers and asparagus as they are a good source of zinc which helps in curing tinnitus.


  • Put 1 drop of onion juice 3 times a week till the ringing reduces and after that decrease it to 1 drop per week.
  • Stay away from noise and keep the volume of television or stereo to minimum. If even a little noise annoys you or increases the ringing, wear ear plugs.


  • If you are unable to bear the noise, put on some soft music to make you fall asleep.
  • Do some breathing exercises and relaxation techniques which will help to reduce stress which is an important cause of ringing in the ear.
  • Alcohol, nicotine and caffeine aggravate tinnitus. Cut out the habit and you will find a marked improvement.
  • If you are taking aspirin for any other disease, substitute it with some other medicine as it might be the reason for aggravating tinnitus.
  • When the ringing sensation increases, try diverting your mind to some other chore.
  • You can also use hearing aids to reduce ringing.
