And how can we treat them? Well, the most important thing is to know what causes them.If it is because of stress, if it is because of our particular anatomy or if it is for listening to music for many hours through the headphones, we will need to address the problem through one strategy or another.a medication that facilitates cerebral vasodilation, although in recent years the so-called "Sound therapies" are taking a lot of strength to reduce the perception of tinnitus.Moreover, there are those find a lot of relief using the so-called white noise, which we already talked about in Lifestyle.
