I found this article from a reddit poster. It suggested this technique to give tinnitus relief for a brief period.
The author said it gave him a few
minutes of relief but I only noticed a few seconds but to me those 30 seconds of relief were worth it. Especially when I’m feeling super stressed to put it mildly. As usual, everything comes with risks. I’ve only tried it for 1 day so after a few days I’ll report back in case it ends up worsening my tinnitus if you want to wait before trying. I haven’t read any comments of it worsening tinnitus though.
“Here’s how it works:
-
Place the palms of your hands over your ears so your fingers wrap around the back of your head.
-
Set your middle fingers on the top of your neck right at the base of your skull.
-
Put your index fingers on top of your middle fingers and apply pressure.
-
Now snap them on the back of your head over and over like you’re drumming.
-
Repeat it about 50 times.”
