There’s no denying that Tinnitus is a debilitating physical ailment that can have dire consequences on even the strongest person’s ability to function normally and live a happy productive life. Many of the worst tinnitus sufferers claim that tinnitus has taken everything from them including their sanity.

But, let us examine this statement for a moment. Whether or not the incessant ringing in the ears is difficult to deal with doesn’t make it entirely responsible for ruining lives. In fact if you’ve allowed tinnitus to ruin your life then that’s pretty much your own fault. Sure, tinnitus is a tough thing to deal with that’s one thing but, to allow it to destroy your life is an entirely different matter.

Again, tinnitus cannot ruin your life, only you can do that. Now, I’m not just speaking as an innocent bystander here, I’ve had severe tinnitus since 1999. Did I allow tinnitus to ruin my life? For a while, yes. But, after suffering from severe depression for almost 2 years I realized that tinnitus wasn’t life threatening at all, at least not in the same way that cancer is. My life was being threatened because of my own choices, not because of tinnitus.

Basically, I used tinnitus as an excuse to give up. I said to myself, to my family and to my friends that because of my tinnitus that I had a good reason for doing nothing. I said things like, “my tinnitus is so bad I simply cannot function normally.”

But, do you know the only problem with this kind of thought process? None of it would make my tinnitus or my life any better? And, that’s when I decided to do something about it. I realized that if I could not cure my tinnitus then I would have to cure my life instead. How did I do this? How can you do this?

There is only one way to cure your life situation. Get in the game by focusing on what it is you really want out of life. Unfortunately most people have no idea what it is that they really want so that makes it especially hard. First you have to know what you want in order to take the necessary steps to get it.

How do you find out what it is you really want? Pick a big goal. Pick a goal that’s so extremely outrageous that your mind can’t possibly comprehend it and make that your greatest wish. For example, my goal is to perform at Carnegie Hall. Will I ever play Carnegie Hall? Probably, but who knows, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow and never make it.

But at least I’m trying. And, therein lies to secret to curing tinnitus. Picking a goal and doing everything in your power to achieve it will override your temptation to let tinnitus control your life. If you’re in control of your life and living everyday in pursuit of your dreams, then tinnitus becomes a minor aggravate which only shows up once in a while to remind you of how grateful you should be that you finally stepped up to the plate.

You see, tinnitus is simply a physical ailment that with practice can be controlled by your own thoughts. If your thoughts are of being a happy productive participant in life then tinnitus will not rule your world. If your thoughts are laced with negative, infected, poisonous and depressive tendencies then your tinnitus will rule you until the day you die.

It’s a choice to suffer from tinnitus. Sure, the noise is real. But, your reaction to it is the only thing causing you pain. The emotional pain you inflict upon yourself as a result of tinnitus is far worse than the noise itself, believe me.

So, what can you do first? Figure out what it is you really want then go after it. That’s all you have to do. Before you know it, tinnitus will fade into a distant memory. And, when it shows up unannounced on a quiet night when you’re trying to sleep, be grateful. Tinnitus is just giving you a little push, a little reminder if you will; keep focused on your goals and above all be grateful to be on the new path you’ve chosen.

Khemal Dole asked:


Many people think that there is no cure or medical treatment for Tinnitus but a recent breakthrough might prove otherwise. If you are suffering from Tinnitus then this new remedy might be just the one you were looking for.

* What is tinnitus?

Tinnitus is a condition where a person “hears” a ringing sound in one’s ear despite any actual sound being present in the environment. People with tinnitus often complain of a ringing noise in their ears which drowns out all other noises, often making it very uncomfortable. This type of ringing is often compared to transient ear ringing but tinnitus is a more chronic and persistent ringing which can also take the form of roaring, chirping or hissing in some cases.

* How common is tinnitus?

It is estimated by the American Tinnitus Association that over 52 million people in the United States have tinnitus and for about 15 million of them, the symptoms are severe enough to warrant getting medical treatment. And an estimated 3 million people have a very severe case of tinnitus that inhibits them from day to day activities such as attending school or their employment.

* How can you get tinnitus?

Older people are more at risk at getting tinnitus than others but there have been reported cases of children as young as 14 getting it. Mostly, tinnitus can happen due to age related hearing loss or nerve damage in the ear, which is why it’s most common among older people. Younger people can get tinnitus by exposing their ears to sudden and loud noises which can damage the ear. Tinnitus can also occur due to excessive ear wax buildup, use of certain medications, sinus infections, trauma to the lower head or neck area or medical conditions such as high blood pressure, thyroid and diabetes.

* Traditional medical treatment for tinnitus

Tinnitus used to be thought of as a purely psychological condition but not anymore. Once tinnitus was acknowledged to be a medical condition, modern day medicine has come through with prescription medication, stress and anxiety treatment and in some extreme conditions even surgery.

Typical medications use to cure and treat tinnitus have been anti depressant drugs such as Xanax, antihistamines that reduce allergies and some heart medication. There have also been some breakthroughs in homeopathic remedies that some claim to help. For those people that do not like to take traditional medication, homeopathic remedies is an alternate option.

* New breakthrough treatment for tinnitus: Neuromonics

A new treatment option for tinnitus has just been introduced by the medical community which might give new hope to people who have tried other medications and remedies and are still suffering. This new treatment is called Neuromonics or Sound Masking as it’s also called. The concept of Neuromonics is simple. Low levels of sounds are transmitted into the ear by way of an earphone or earpiece, which is similar to static noise, with the intension of distracting the patient. It is hoped that this new sound will be less annoying and more comforting to the person and with time will drown out the more annoying sounds of tinnitus. Although this is not for everyone, with continued use and a little bit of getting used to, scientists believe that the brain will eventually “mask out” the annoying sounds of tinnitus and simply dial it out of perception.

Neuromonics treatment is done through a portable electronic device call the Oasis ™. Once patients have gone through a set of hearing tests, masking sounds are customized to that patient and are loaded onto the Oasis. Patients who have participated in studies have reported that they can sleep better and also perform day to day chores better than they have been able to do.

Once a patient has been administered Neuromonics treatment for a while, the masking sound is cut back for short periods of time to let the tinnitus sound be heard. This is done so that the brain can get exposed to the two sounds alternately and gradually get used to and in tuned with the more relaxing masking sound. The goal is to train the brain to completely ignore the annoying ringing sounds and get used to a more relaxing masking sound.

Although retraining might be done successfully, the results might be short term as the brain might get accustomed to the tinnitus sounds once masking sounds are turned off. Thus doctors recommend used Neuromonics once or twice a week for 2 to 3 hours at a time to maintain the effectiveness of the treatment.

This is of course while avoiding rock ocnerts and the like.

If I go to a loud restaurant, for example, the sound get worse for a short while and gets better. Will it eventually stay that way?
I will def. wear ear plugs in loud places, etc, but will the sounds in my ear/head get worse over time, as long as I am careful about the loud noise exposure?

Alien asked:


Tinnitus (IPA pronunciation: [t?’na?t?s] or [’t?n?t?s], from the Latin word for “ringing” is the perception of sound in the human ear in the absence of corresponding external sound(s).

Tinnitus can be perceived in one or both ears or in the head. It is usually described as a ringing noise, but in some patients it takes the form of a high pitched whining, buzzing, hissing, humming, or whistling sound, or as ticking, clicking, roaring, “crickets” or “locusts”, tunes, songs, or beeping. It has also been described as a “whooshing” sound, as of wind or waves. Around 15 per cent of people experience tinnitus at some stage and it’s more likely to occur after the age of 60.

What Causes Tinnitus?

Most tinnitus comes from damage to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. The health of these nerve endings is important for acute hearing, and injury to them brings on hearing loss and often tinnitus. If you are older, advancing age is generally accompanied by a certain amount of hearing nerve impairment and tinnitus. If you are younger, exposure to loud noise is probably the leading cause of tinnitus, and often damages hearing as well.

There are many causes for “subjective tinnitus,” the noise only you can hear. Some causes are not serious (a small plug of wax in the ear canal might cause temporary tinnitus). Tinnitus can also be a symptom of stiffening of the middle ear bones (otosclerosis).

Tinnitus Symptoms

With tinnitus, you quite simply hear a noise that no one around you hears. This noise is usually a buzzing or ringing type sound, but it may be a clicking or rushing sound that goes along with your heartbeat. The sound is sometimes accompanied by hearing loss and dizziness in a type of syndrome known as Meniere disease. In addition to the noises associated with tinnitus, certain other symptoms may accompany this condition. These include:

* Dizziness

* Pain in the ear

* A sense of fullness in the ears

* Headache

How is Tinnitus Diagnosed ?

Persons with tinnitus should be seen by a physician expert in ear disease, usually an otologist or a neurotologist.

Why is my tinnitus worse at night?

During the day, the distraction of activities and the sounds around you make your tinnitus less obvious. When your surroundings are quiet, your tinnitus may seem louder and more constant. Fatigue may also make your tinnitus worse.

Is tinnitus a common problem?

Yes. Almost everyone at one time or another has experienced brief periods of mild ring or other sound in the ear. Some people have more annoying and constant types of tinnitus. One third of all adults report experiencing tinnitus at some time in their lives.

What is the treatment of tinnitus?

After a careful evaluation, your doctor may find an identifiable cause and be able to treat or make recommendations to treat the tinnitus. Once you have had a thorough evaluation, an essential part of treatment is your own understanding of the tinnitus, i.e., what has caused it, and your options for treatment.

In many cases, there is no specific treatment for tinnitus. It may simply go away on its own, or it may be a permanent disability that the patient will have to “live with.” Some otolaryngologists have recommended niacin to treat tinnitus. However, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that niacin helps reduce tinnitus, and it may cause problems with skin flushing.

Mark Goeder asked:


Tinnitus: A persistant high pitched screaming only you can hear. You can hear it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Sometimes the noise is enough to make you feel you are loosing your sanity. In fact, on a lighter note one could call it “a big fat pain in the ear !”

It may be of little comfort to Tinnitus victims, but experts estimate that approximately 17 % of the world´s population are currantly suffering from Tinnitus. If that isnt enough to worry about, almost 60 percent of those who have chronic tinnitus are dissatisfied with their current therapy.

Learning to accept help from the right people is elementary in your crusade to escape the claws of tinnitus. It is essential that you find someone you trust and are not afraid of. It’s hard to find someone that will listen to your troubles and problems, especially when dealing with something as complex as Tinnitus.

Most people will listen to you and feel sorry for you. This is only because they can’t begin to comprehend what you are going through. These people aren’t ignorant…they are just human beings, to them you are a probably an image of good health. This is because tinnitus can’t be seen from the outside, to the world you look perfectly healthy.

I am sure that these people have their own worries too. Some people may appear to not be interested in your problems or they can’t grasp the severity of your situation. Please don’t forget, most people can’t even start to get a handle on what you are going through.

Fighting Tinnitus often ends up in complete frustration. Tinnitus can only exist if it is fed appropriately and given enough room to breath. Stress and anxiety just adds more fuel to the fire. Fighting tinnitus can be futile procedure that will deplete your most of your energy.

There is an alternative solution.

This is the point I hope to make with my e-book ” My Best Friend Tinnitus”.

If you are suffering from chronic tinnitus (with or without hearing loss) you have probably been down every one way road there is in your quest for a cure. That’s it though. There is no patent cure. It’s that simple and that complicated. YOU are the cure.

This concept sounds too easy to be true. Not only can you learn to accept tinnitus as a part of your life but YOU can teach IT to be a part of YOUR life. You can take control by reducing its importancy.

On this note there are a few sayings that spring to mind. “Don’t feed the trolls” or “tame the beast”. There is a lot of truth in these words.

Tinnitus can be tamed and manipulated. Tinnitus has incredible power, if you give it authority. Think about what it has achieved by taking over your life. Why not turn the tables and learn from it. Get yourself in the driver’s seat and take it for a ride.

My theory isn’t based on medical facts. My theory is based on 18 months of misery and depression.

At it’s peak I was suicidal.

Maybe one of the most important steps I took in learning to come to terms with tinnitus was using its power to help me instead of destroying me. Tinnitus is not physical. It can’t be seen under a microscope and it can’t be measured accurately.

This may seem like simplified thinking, but tinnitus is a power and it can be used.

I used its power to create a new person in myself. I am using its power to create this very article I am writing. I used it to loose weight, to stop smoking, to stop worrying, to run a small marathon and last but not least…..to help others overcome this dilema.

Nothing has ever compelled me to sit down for hundreds of hours and write a book. Nothing has ever been worth the effort.

Yes, there is an easier way out if you are willing to try. The best thing is that you have nothing to loose.

I am not a doctor. I am not a therapist. I am Mr Average………..and a darn good coach !

Rudy Silva asked:


Doctors and scientists have not yet found a cure for tinnitus.  Despite this there are many different ways to help reduce the effects of tinnitus, which is ringing in the ears or hearing continuous sounds that really not there.  Aside from going to a doctor, a natural tinnitus treatment is also available through licensed alternative practitioners.

 

Ear ringing has been a difficult condition to find a cure for.  This condition has many causes and sounds that appear in the brain from the ear are difficult to trace and study.  For thousands of years only herbs were used to treat people.  Using herbs now as a tinnitus treatment makes sense, since herbs treat the whole body and not just one part.

 

There are many reasons why you would have ringing in your ears.  In cases where physical ear damage has occurred with loss of hearing, you may have ringing for the rest of your life.  But not all tinnitus cases come from the same cause and so there are many natural tinnitus treatments that can work for someone but not for others.

 

 It is well known that noises greater than 90 decibels are detrimental to your ear health.  Most young people constantly subject themselves to loud music at home, at concerts, with video games, and with musical instruments.  These prolong exposures can affect their ear health, which can show up later as hearing loss and tinnitus.

 

So what other kinds of noise is detrimental to the ears?  Noises greater than 90 decibels are not good for ear health and this noise can come from any type of activity that produces noise.  The other factor in how noise affects your ears is how long a period in your life you been exposed to this noise. Look at your work and environment to see if you are exposed constantly to loud noises.  If you are exposed to loud noises, consider a natural tinnitus treatment as a preventative measure.

 

The use of certain drugs has been found to contribute to ringing in the ears.  There are certain people that are more susceptible to the affect of drugs on their ears.  Since people are living longer, they use more drugs that are damaging to their ears.  When they lose their hearing, they become susceptible ringing in their ears.

 

Stress, anxiety, and depression can lead to tinnitus, but they can also lead to other diseases.  Experiencing these psychological conditions over long periods of time can lead to being unable to ignore sounds or ringing that may appear in the head.  This in turn can result in more anxiety and in more ringing.  Use of yoga as an anxiety tinnitus treatment can reduce the ringing.

 

Ear health is also important to maintain.  Cleaning the ears of wax should be done regularly.  If you don’t eat enough essential fatty acids, your ear wax will be harder than normal.  Ear wax should be soft and not hard.  Hard wax left in the ear for long periods of time can cause damage to the ear drum and create loss of hearing.

 

Deciding what tinnitus treatment to use for your ear ringing is indeed a difficult task.  There are many factors that could cause ringing in your ears.  Look at your history to search for the cause.  Were you expose to loud noises for long periods of time, did you have early childhood trauma, where you involved in a car accident, or have you been experience high levels of job or personal stress?  A good start for treatment is to move toward a healthier lifestyle with regular stress exercise.

 

A natural tinnitus treatment is the best course to follow.  This involves using a strict diet and supplementation with specific nutrients.  Tinnitus results from long exposure to loud noises, which creates hearing loss. Long term stress or an abrupt shock such as a car accident or traumatic experience can cause tinnitus.

Jon Cielo asked:


The symptoms for tinnitus are just symptoms of other problems or underlying conditions you may have. Tinnitus isn’t a disease, so any symptoms for tinnitus you have are usually as a result of one or more of these problems.

Traditional mainstream treatments can reduce the symptoms for tinnitus a bit, but not get rid of them completely. Right now, there just isn’t a permanent cure for tinnitus using these methods. Which is why very many distressed folks are now searching for alternative remedies for their tinnitus.

What is tinnitus? Tinnitus is the name given to the condition where a person hears sounds that aren’t produced externally. If you are the only person to hear the sounds then it’s called ’subjective’ tinnitus. If your doctor can hear the sounds as well — using an audio device — then this is called ‘objective’ tinnitus. Subjective tinnitus is much more widespread.

The symptoms for tinnitus — the sounds you hear — vary from person to person. If you are hearing sounds like; ringing, ticking, knocking, hissing, clicking, whooshing, etc., and they aren’t coming from an external source, then you have tinnitus. And if your doctor / specialist can’t hear the sounds during testing then the symptoms for tinnitus you are experiencing point to subjective tinnitus.

The usual problems that can cause your symptoms for tinnitus are things such as, inner ear infection / damage, damaged auditory nerve, a knock on the head, hearing damaged by noise pollution, whiplash, meniere’s disease, otosclerosis, blocked eustachian tube, stress, high blood pressure, and, the overuse of drugs such as aspirin.

Your specialist will normally try one or more of the following treatments; drugs, complementary treatments, biofeedback, tinnitus maskers, and possibly surgery but this is hardly ever resorted to.

Sometimes there can be some — but not complete — relief after treatment, but the chances are that you will find that the relief is only temporary.

Around 93% of tinnitus victims never ever get proper relief. Even the medical profession broadly agrees that there isn’t a complete cure using traditional medical therapies.

Given that you are unlikely to completely lose your symptoms for tinnitus using these therapies, what is the alternative?

Many tinnitus sufferers like yourself are now actively searching the internet looking for a proven drug-free, non-medical solution. In other words a treatment that has been tried and tested, and, that uses techniques, exercises, even diet etc., that you can do yourself at home.

One such home-based treatment program that is cleverly based around 11 tried and thoroughly tested techniques that you carry out at home or workplace, is already providing tinnitus sufferers with their first complete relief from their symptoms for tinnitus in years.

The program has been devised by a tinnitus researcher and former tinnitus sufferer who used it to cure his own condition.After a 2 year research programme, which included live testing on other sufferers, he identified 11 secret techniques, each capable of stopping or drastically reducing the symptoms of tinnitus. But, combined together in a single treatment program, he has been able to report a 80% success rate. Compared with mainstream treatments this is fantastic news for the victims of tinnitus.

He now shares his treatment program with folks like you around the world. His proven program is simply downloaded over the internet, which means you can start on your cure right away.

It’s up to you, but if your tinnitus is just driving you crazy, and you want to get rid of your symptoms of tinnitus fast, then go to http://cure-for-tinnitus.blogspot.com for the facts on how you could be on your way to a cure today.
