The Surprising Foods That Could Reduce Your Risk of Tinnitus
Researchers suggest that diet may play a significant role in preventing tinnitus, although a cure remains elusive.

A study published in BMJ Open analyzed eight observational studies involving 301,533 people, examining 15 dietary factors through questionnaires, and found that a diet rich in fruits, fibre, dairy, and caffeine might lower the risk of developing tinnitus.
