- Tinnitus is the subjective experience of a sound (often ringing, other “white noise”) without a corresponding external sound. It is a symptom shared by a list of causes and is therefore important to differentiate between these and treat appropriately. Ear infections and ototoxicity are common causes not involving trauma or foreign bodies. Many medications are known to cause ototoxicity (irreversible), however, Asian medicines have long-recognized treatable syndromes in which tinnitus is experienced and this can provide useful diagnostic insight for therapeutic targets. Naturopathic medical treatment for tinnitus can make use of acupuncture and other needle therapies, homeopathy and herbal remedies, dietary and lifestyle therapies, and physical medicine to address structure.
