Maybe
your doctor already told you that there is no such thing as ringing in
ears treatment. Maybe he told you to just "cope" with it? The medical
profession is all wrong on tinnitus. In this article, I'll review some
of the potential treatments that you can try.
A Word About Drugs
Before we go further I just want to let you know, in case you didn't
already, that sadly there are no drug treatments yet for this
condition. Doctors are learning more and more about the neurobiology of
tinnitus but we are still unfortunately years away from a cure.
Eliminate Problematic Drugs
Did you know that there are many modern drugs that frequently contribute to tinnitus?
Even if you are not on any specific long term medications, many common
over the counter drugs with long half lives can give you tinnitus. For
example, did you know that ibuprofen can give you tinnitus? Statins can
also give you tinnitus.
Whatever drugs you take, do an internet search first to find out about the side effects and whether tinnitus is also listed.
Tinnitus Noise Masking
One possibility is to simply mask the ringing/buzzing with another noise in the background.
for example, many sufferers will leave a TV on to go to sleep too. You
can even buy a special pillow with a speaker built into it to let
yourself drift off to the sound of the radio.
Retraining Therapy
This is usually the best that the medical profession can offer. It consists of counselling and listening to a noise generator.
The idea is that you can learn how to ignore the tinnitus and not
notice that it is there. The results are promising but your tinnitus
never actually goes away and from time to time you do still notice it.
Head/Neck/Jaw Problems
Do you have any sinus problems? Or how about neck pain or strains? And
what about TMJ or other jaw problems? Maybe your wife tells you that
you grind your teeth? Maybe you even have clicking jaw problems or pain
where the jaw attaches to the skull?
These conditions can heavily influence your tinnitus. If you fix them,
it doesn't necessarily mean that your tinnitus will be cured completely
(you'll almost certainly get a lot of relief though) but if you don't
then it will be intense until you get around to doing something about
it.
Stress
It's common for most people to say "I'm stressed" but real stress is
different. Are you a very anxious person? Do you worry a lot? Do you
find it hard to get to sleep because of thoughts in your head (not
talking about the tinnitus right now)? Do you obsessively think about
the future?
If this is you then it's likely that stress is a major factor in your
tinnitus. If you eliminate your stress you will at least reduce and
possibly even get rid of your tinnitus altogether.
Natural Cure
The medical profession believes that there is no cure for tinnitus
because hearing loss (which is necessary) cannot be reversed. Yet there
are many people with hearing loss but without this condition - why is
that?
The answer is that hearing loss is not enough, you must also have
several lifestyle and environmental co-factors to cause this condition.
So it follows that by eliminating these factors from your life then you
can in fact lower your symptoms intensity and even cure yourself
completely.
There are no drugs for
tinnitus. But there is a natural way to cure your tinnitus. Discover
