The holidays are here, and brands are constantly releasing lists of what to get for all of the people in your life. Your spouses, your siblings, your in-laws, your coworkers, everyone has a list of what to get, except for you. We are here to change that.
With so many demands on your time, your energy, and your wallet, it can be easy to forget about yourself in the mix. While we aren’t experts on the best grilling accessories or the trendiest jewelry, we are experts in tinnitus. We understand the ins and outs of symptom management, tinnitus relief formulas, and daily life with the condition. That’s why we put together this self-care gift guide. We want to help you find ways to give back to yourself this season and put your best foot forward into the new year.
1. Give Yourself Moments of Calm
The holiday season can be incredibly busy and stressful. All of the busy rooms, parties, get-togethers, and events can quickly become overwhelming, especially when you add tinnitus symptoms into the mix. Researchers have drawn links between stress and worsened tinnitus symptoms. Even though there are many things clamoring for your time, find ways to reduce your stress during the holiday months.
Gifting yourself some alone time in a peaceful and quiet place away from loud crowds and holiday bustle can help prevent your tinnitus symptoms from worsening and put you in a good headspace for continued social interaction.
If you want to take your alone time to the next level this holiday season, try creating a relaxing space to unwind. That may mean getting some candles to put in your bedroom or bathroom with a relaxing scent, such as eucalyptus or lavender, and a speaker to play your favorite music can create a soothing environment. Or perhaps you would rather lose yourself in a favorite book to recharge your social battery and give your ears a rest from the constant joyful noise of the season.
Figure out what works best for you, and gift yourself some time to relax this holiday season.
2. Give Yourself Relief
If your tinnitus symptoms have been getting in the way of feeling the holiday spirit, it may be time to find a way to try something new. For many people, relief from tinnitus’s pestering symptoms can be found by supplementing their diet with helpful vitamins and minerals. Certain nutrients have been linked to the relief of tinnitus symptoms for some. If you are looking for a way to manage your tinnitus, the holiday season would be the perfect time to give yourself the chance to try new ways to find relief.
Many individuals with tinnitus are low in zinc. Some studies have shown that correcting this deficiency can help improve symptoms. Ginkgo biloba for tinnitus promotes healthy blood flow to the inner ear area. Vitamin B12 can help improve nerve health, and certain types of tinnitus are related to nerve damage. B vitamins are also a great tool for reducing stress. A well balanced and varied diet full of vitamins and minerals may help improve your tinnitus symptoms.
While there are many different foods that you can incorporate into your diet to help add vitamins and minerals essential to tinnitus relief, not all are well-absorbed through the gut. The holiday season can be a time to gift yourself convenience and effectiveness. Vitamins for tinnitus can be an excellent choice for people looking for a way to try new remedies that may help their symptoms. Arches Tinnitus Formula combines many essential tinnitus relief vitamins and nutrients, including zinc, and ginkgo biloba, which may be the tinnitus solution you need.
3. Give Yourself Normality
It can be challenging navigating through life with tinnitus, and it can often feel as though your symptoms interfere with the things you want to do. It is important that you don’t let your tinnitus stop you from doing the things that you love with the people that you love even more.
Managing life with tinnitus can be made easier when you understand how best to navigate your symptoms. Maintaining social connections, especially at this time of year, can be a great way to help cope with your tinnitus. There are many events during the holiday season with lower sound levels, such as ice skating or visits to Christmas tree farms, that can be fun ways to connect with friends and family that keep your hearing concerns at heart.
If you want to attend one of the many concerts, festivals, or parades the season brings but are hesitant to do so because of noise sensitivities, there is no need to avoid them. Gift yourself noise-dampening or even foam earplugs or headphones for extra loud environments, and realize that you can still enjoy all of the activities you loved before you developed tinnitus, just with a little extra assistance.
4. Give Yourself Grace
The holiday season is a great time for reflection. The end of the year brings time to look back, see how far you have come in the last twelve months, and look forward to the future. During this time of pondering, it is good to remember that you have made it another year and that your tinnitus has not gotten in the way of your progress.
Learning to manage an issue that affects daily life is a challenge, but you have overcome it and are still standing. Even if the year has been a challenge, remember that you are so much more than the sounds in your ears.
5. Give Yourself Hope
As you look back, remember to look forward as well. There is constantly new research and developments in the world of hearing health and wellness. If you haven’t found a tinnitus relief supplement that works for you, there is bound to be a development sometime in the future. Gift yourself hope for the future of your hearing health because it may be more positive than you think.
Celebrate on Your Terms
The holidays don’t have to be overwhelming if you have tinnitus. But you may need to make some adjustments to allow you to enjoy this time of year. Give yourself some space and some time, and celebrate the holidays in all the ways that you find enjoyable this year.
