9. Living With Tinnitus
Tinnitus can be one of the most challenging symptoms of otosclerosis. While not all people with otosclerosis have buzzing or ringing in their ears, those that do can experience disorientation, anxiety and depression. Treatments for otosclerosis often improve tinnitus, but there’s no guarantee that it can be resolved.
Soft music or sounds in the background can help ease tinnitus as can yoga and relaxation exercises. Support groups and self-help resources from trusted organizations can also help a person with tinnitus feel less isolated.4NHS Choices, NHS, www.nhs.uk/conditions/tinnitus/.
