The psychological attitude that you have towards your tinnitus is crucial and people with a positive attitude to dealing with it tend to find it more manageable.
Depression or anxiety can make tinnitus more of a problem and treatment of these conditions may help bring some relief. A range of other treatments including dietary supplements, electromagnetic stimulation and medicines (including antiepileptics and anti-sickness drugs) have been tried, but their effectiveness has not be proven.What is vestibular rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation is a technique that can be used to manage dizziness or balance problems caused by damage to the balance organs of the inner ear, called the vestibular organs. It involves performing a programme of exercises designed to improve your dizziness or balance problems. Some departments also provide advice on how to reduce the effect of your dizziness or balance problems on your everyday life.
How do I know if I need vestibular rehabilitation?
You may be suitable for the treatment if your dizziness or balance problems are caused by a problem with the vestibular organs. However, certain fluctuating inner ear conditions (such as perilymph fistula or active Ménière’s disease) cannot be treated with vestibular exercises, although people with these conditions may find advice on how to manage their dizziness helpful.
Most people with dizziness caused by a vestibular problem find their symptoms get better over time without treatment. However vestibular rehabilitation may be beneficial for people who find they have had little or no improvement in symptoms after several months.

VRT) is a highly effective way to reduce or eliminate dizziness from labyrinthitis. VRT works by causing the brain to use already existing mechanisms to help you adapt and compensate. Your existing balance mechanisms may be sending out messages to your brain saying that you are off balance when you are not and the aim is to re-learn those receptors to acknowledge the new messages. The directed exercises are patient specific and are planned by a qualified practitioner. They will make an appointment with you assessing your balance and which specific exercises you need to do. You will need to do these exercises regularly to gain any benefit.
It is often the case when you have a balance problem to adapt around the problem and not realise how self limiting the balance problem has affected your life. These exercises may bring on the dizzy feelings again, which you may not want, but ultimately it will be to your advantage
