White noise can indeed help reduce ringing in the ears, also known as tinnitus. White noise acts as a masking sound, which can help distract the brain from focusing on the persistent ringing or buzzing sounds associated with tinnitus. It does not directly treat the underlying causes of tinnitus, but it can provide temporary relief and make the symptoms less bothersome. White noise machines, fans, nature sounds, or music are commonly used as forms of white noise to help manage tinnitus. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and guidance on managing tinnitus.
