YSK: This one simple trick might help the ringing in your ears ... and you won't hate anyone for it!

Saw a post about tinnitus and depression and thought I'd share something that has brought me relief. Also couldn't resist the clickbait BS so before you grab your pitchforks, try this first and see if you're still mad.

Take your hands over your ears with your fingers touching behind your head. Then snap your index and middle fingers back and forth for about a minute.

The ringing should depart.

The relief may only be brief. May be for a while. Do this as needed.

A similar method posted by /u/Jordanistan:

Place the palms of your hands over your ears with fingers resting gently on the back of your head. Your middle fingers should point toward one another just above the base of your skull. Place your index fingers on top of you middle fingers and snap them (the index fingers) onto the skull making a loud, drumming noise. Repeat 40-50 times.
