Can Exercise and Weight Loss Help Address Tinnitus?

[chris.paget]

So I was just yesterday diagnosed on a second follow up visit to the ENT/audiologist with mild hearing loss in my left ear.

As part of that conversation, including about supplements, we discussed the fact that tackling general wellness can at least help, if only perception and just feeling better as a whole, and likely less anxious. As part of that thinking about general health, my goal is to lose weight.

Given that being overweight has affected my blood pressure, causing me to take medication (which are among the 400 or so with possible links to tinnitus), sleep (sleep apnea), and lack of regular exercise and the better circulation that comes with it, I can't help but wonder if losing weight and exercise might address tinnitus.

Has anyone had luck with this approach?

When I got tinnitus I was in great shape and then started gaining weight out of depression. I can totally relate to Samantha Baines because of this.

I can't speak personally as to it helping with my Tinnitus as I've always liked it keep myself fit but I know a lot of people have spikes to sugar, coffee, salt, processed foods etc so it may help in that sense.

If you are serious about losing weight and getting healthier, just go for it. Your improved health alone is a plus, it should hopefully eliminate your sleep apnea or at least reduce the symptoms (depending what's the cause) If it helps your T or at least helps with the aggressiveness or intensity that's even better.

Hope this works out for you man, it'll be a tough road but you will be all the better for it, good luck.
