Hey, it’s James Barrett here again.
The other day, I spoke about the pineapple, which contains bromelain, an enzyme known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
Reducing inflammation can help alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus, making pineapple a delicious ally in your fight against ear ringing.
But I know not everyone loves pineapple.
If you’re also not into pineapple, or just want to mix things up, here are more fruity choices you can indulge in to help relieve your tinnitus:
Bananas
These yellow delights are packed with potassium, a crucial mineral for maintaining proper fluid balance in the body. When inner ear fluids are out of whack, they can increase pressure and exacerbate tinnitus. But bananas can help restore that balance, potentially alleviating that maddening ring.
Papaya
This tropical treat is a nutrient powerhouse, loaded with vitamins A, C, and E and anti-inflammatory compounds. Not only can it support overall ear health, but its anti-inflammatory properties may help calm that inner ear inflammation that contributes to tinnitus.
Oranges
You’ll see more than just vitamin C when you bite into one of these citrus gems. Oranges are also brimming with antioxidants that can boost your immune system and improve blood circulation. Better blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients reaching your inner ear, which could help quiet that ringing.
Mangoes
Sweet, succulent, and packed with vitamins A and C, mangoes are like a superfood for your ears. They’ll give your immune system a boost while reducing inflammation, both of which can benefit your hearing health and potentially ease tinnitus symptoms.
Apples
You know what they say – an apple a day keeps the tinnitus at bay! Okay, maybe they don’t say that exactly, but apples are indeed loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can support ear health and overall well-being.
Berries
Whether you prefer blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or a mix, berries are little antioxidant powerhouses. They help protect your cells from oxidative stress and improve blood circulation – both of which can be beneficial for managing tinnitus symptoms.
Watermelon
This summertime staple isn’t just a delicious way to stay hydrated. It also contains the antioxidant lycopene, which can reduce inflammation and support ear health. Plus, proper hydration helps regulate fluid levels in the inner ear.
Pomegranates
These jewel-toned fruits are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can improve blood circulation. Better blood flow to the ears means better oxygen and nutrient delivery, which may help quiet tinnitus noise.
Avocados
While not technically a fruit, these creamy delights deserve a spot on the list. Avocados are full of healthy fats and antioxidants that promote vascular health and improve blood flow to the ears and other areas – potentially reducing tinnitus.
Avocados
Don’t overlook the humble pear! These fiber-rich fruits are also loaded with antioxidants that help improve circulation and reduce inflammation, making them excellent tinnitus-fighters.

So, the takeaway is…
The key with using fruit to combat tinnitus is to load up on foods rich in potassium, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Many tropical fruits like pineapples, papayas and mangoes fit the bill perfectly – plus they’re absolutely delicious!
Just be cautious not to go overboard, as too much potassium can cause its own issues. Overall, making fruit a regular part of your diet is a tasty way to potentially find relief from tinnitus. Now go blend up that mango-banana smoothie—your ears will thank you!
