Endurance Exercise and Tinnitus
Reducing Stress through Endurance Exercise to Alleviate Tinnitus
Somatosensoric tinnitus can be worsened by chronic stress. Persistent tinnitus can lead to additional stress within the body, triggering the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones prime the body to handle stressful situations; however, chronic stress and excessive hormone release can be detrimental to long-term health.
Light Jogging
Light jogging not only reduces stress but also relaxes the muscles in the spine, shoulder, and neck areas.
Especially people with tinnitus who experience tension in these areas may benefit from enhanced muscle flexibility and circulation around the shoulder and neck.
Cycling
Cycling is an excellent way to improve cardiovascular health, build strength, and reduce stress hormones.
However, tinnitus sufferers should ensure their posture on the bike does not lead to muscle strain in the shoulder-neck area, as chronic tension here may aggravate tinnitus.
Swimming
For a gentle strengthening of the back, we particularly recommend backstroke or crawl. When breaststroke swimming, tinnitus sufferers should ideally make sure that they can raise and lower their head while swimming with the help of swimming goggles.
If you swim breaststroke with your head permanently raised, this can unnecessarily increase tension in the shoulder/neck area and possibly exacerbate tinnitus.
Nordic Walking
Nordic Walking helps to stabilise and strengthen the muscles of the entire musculature.
Blood circulation and oxygen supply in the body are significantly improved. However, we recommend that people with tinnitus take special care that the shoulder-neck area is not chronically tense due to the heavy use of walking sticks. This may impair blood circulation in this area and have an unfavourable effect on tinnitus.
Do stretching exercises, bounce loosely after training, shake your arms, back and legs well at the end.
Mini-Trampoline Training
Regular back exercises on a medical mini-trampoline provide whole-body strengthening, promoting disc hydration and preventing pain and tension. Tinnitus sufferers may see improvement in tinnitus if related to spinal, shoulder, or neck issues.
ForgTin® Wearing Advice
Avoid wearing ForgTin® ear clamps during exercise to prevent accidental loss.
These clamps are designed to hold lightly around the ear and could therefore fall off during physical activity.
