What Is Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a symptom and not a condition in itself. Tinnitus

describes the symptom of being able to hear things which nobody

else can, although, in a rare number of cases, this isn’t true.

Tinnitus is a very common condition with approximately 10% of

the population suffering from Tinnitus to one degree or another.

It is most commonly found in elderly people although it is

becoming much more widespread in the younger population.

Also, Tinnitus can be found in one or both ears or sometimes it

feels like it is coming from the middle of your head.

Tinnitus Symptoms

Tinnitus is most commonly found in elderly people although

possibly due to the different lifestyles it is becoming much more

common in younger people now. Maybe this is due to the fact

that people are living in noisier environments today.

The sounds which are heard vary from patient to patient. Some

patients hear a musical tone, although most patients hear

something which sounds more like a hissing or whistling or a

buzzing or a ringing noise. For a lot of patients, it is more of an

inconvenience and doesn’t affect their daily lives although, for a

number of patients, it is so bad that they need some kind of

treatment to relieve the symptoms

The most basic description of tinnitus symptoms is you will be

hearing dissonances that nobody else hears. It is important to

understand that these strange sounds seem entirely real even if

no one else hears it. It is noteworthy that in the US,

approximately one million people go through this so dramatically

that it creates issues during their normal activities throughout the

day. Majority of people will get a ringing sound that is high in

pitch and constantly present. If the intensity of the sound, or

dissonance, is quiet enough, then that does not present a real

issue. It is not at all hard to concentrate on something like we all

Just No Tinnitus

usually do, and you are not aware that the sound is present.

There is a strange symptom in which the sound that is heard can

be a clicking sound in unison with the beating of the heart. There

is still a different dissonance that is heard, and that is a humming

sound. But then the humming can be heard at all times and is

like a sustained sound. The level of severity concerns how loudly

the sound is heard. But as stated, the majority of tinnitus

sufferers, fortunately, will not sense this at a high volume.

Majority of the tinnitus sufferers have the ability to cope with it

because the brain has a distinct way of adapting to a variety of

situations.

Many people will not develop this condition in a chronic state. For

instance, if an individual gets water in the ear after showering or

swimming, then there is oftentimes a noise heard in that ear or

both ears. While that is a standard sign of tinnitus, it is very

transient and will clear up on its own. If you should have a build-

up of ear wax that suddenly interferes with normal hearing, then

once again that can cause transient signs of tinnitus. These

different causes and indications can be helpful to know just in

case you abruptly hear ringing in your ear.

Other symptoms are:

Lack of concentration,

Headaches,

Fatigue,

Social retreat,

Depressive moods,

Lack of patience,

Nervousness,

Panic attacks,

Just No Tinnitus

Anxiety,

Apprehension,

Stress and tension,

Lack of self-confidence,

Insomnia,

Exhaustion,

Other than the hearing loss which is physical, all other symptoms

listed here are of a subconscious nature.

Pulsatile Tinnitus

If you have ever suffered from serious tinnitus you know how

much it can affect a person's everyday life. Buzzing or ringing in

the ears can be so frequent and intense that you have difficulties

to concentrate on anything.

However, pulsatile tinnitus is different from regular tinnitus.

While regular tinnitus causes are ranged and vary from the

benign to the serious, pulsatile tinnitus causes are usually due to

an abnormal blood flow event in the blood vasculature.

This type of condition is called as "pulsatile tinnitus" since the

perceived noise goes often along with pulse. The noise is often

whooshing, clicking, or some other sound of that type and

typically caused by increased blood flow or some type of

disturbance in the flow.

This phenomenon can be explained by an analogy to flow

turbulence in a garden hose. When water gushes out of a garden

hose without any obstruction, the water flows smoothly and with

little noise. However, when a thumb is put in front of the exit of

the gardening hose, the water flows faster and emits noise.

The principle in pulsatile tinnitus is the same. When your heart

beats it pumps more blood to your veins. If there are some

Just No Tinnitus

justnotinnitus.com

obstacles in your circulation, it can cause extra noises that you

perceive as tinnitus.

When having pulsatile tinnitus it is crucial to determine the source

of the sound before starting any treatments. Even though the

cause can sometimes be just a mild venous hum, it is more

commonly caused by atherosclerosis of an artery near the ear. In

those cases, the noise can be so loud that even other people can

hear it nearby the ear.

More serious causes are rarer, but cannot be ruled out. Such

causes include carotid artery dissection, carotid artery aneurysm,

idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and pulsatile paraganglioma

(a type of tumor) inside the inner ear.

When trying to determine the cause of your tinnitus a doctor

probably make at least imaging, thorough physical exams, and

blood test. Pulsatile tinnitus treatments are different than the

treatments of normal tinnitus. While normal tinnitus treatments

are often based on the symptoms, pulsatile tinnitus treatments

are based on the source and cause of the symptoms.

For benign causes such as a venous hum, no treatment is

recommended and the sound may go away on its own after a

while.

On the other hand, in atherosclerotic cases, the appropriate

treatment depends on the severity of the condition. If the

symptoms are not very bothersome, a doctor (and patient)

usually want to wait to see whether the sound goes away

spontaneously. However, it is common that a doctor recommends

using aspirin to prevent worsening of the condition.

For more severe cases, surgery is required. Options include

stents, plaque and clot removal, and bypass. Typically for carotid

arteries, plaque and clot removal is required to keep blood flow

to the brain patent.

Carotid artery dissection is an emergency and requires immediate

Just No Tinnitus

justnotinnitus.com

10

surgical repair. Aneurysms may be watched, or operated upon

based on the imaging. A pulsatile paraganglioma or other tumor

causing increased blood flow to the ear may have to be operated

on by a skilled otolaryngologist.

Patients suffering from pulsatile tinnitus should avoid the

following:

High sodium diet

High fat diet

Alcohol

Caffeine-laden beverages

Stress

Smoking

Cholesterol and high fat have always been linked to

atherosclerosis, one cause of pulsatile tinnitus. Therefore, they

must be avoided.

Salt increases the fluid retention in body tissues, causing the

blood pressure to rise.

Caffeine is a stimulant that elevates the heart rate and blood

pressure.

Alcohol can alter the fluid balance in the body, thereby causing

an imbalance in the inner ear fluid.

Stress triggers tinnitus symptoms. It is important to manage

anxiety and fatigue to prevent the tinnitus from becoming severe.

Keep in mind that the path to acquiring relief against objective

tinnitus also involves alternative remedies, relaxation, and

cognitive-behavioral therapy

Objective and Subjective Tinnitus

There are two types of tinnitus: subjective and objective tinnitus.

Just No Tinnitus

justnotinnitus.com

Subjective tinnitus is very common. It is a type of tinnitus

wherein only the sufferer hears the sound produced by the

condition. On the other hand, objective tinnitus, the rare type, is

characterized by tinnitus-produced sounds and noise also heard

by other people. For example, a doctor can use a stethoscope to

hear the noise. This is such a disturbing condition as it usually

indicates the presence of a serious underlying condition such as

cardiovascular problems. This tinnitus is prevalent in 3% of all

tinnitus cases.

People suffering from objective tinnitus describe their condition

as hearing rhythmic, low humming, thumping, or clicking noise

synchronized with their breathing or heartbeat. Thus, it is also

called the pulsatile tinnitus. Therefore, a person can acquire relief

not only when the tinnitus sounds are eradicated but also when

the medical condition accompanying it is treated.

There are major causes of objective tinnitus. First, it can be

caused by the sudden changes in the flow of blood in the arteries

or veins in the ear. This often results in thumping sounds heard

in the ear. Second, it can be caused by the heightened sensitivity

to the sounds and noise from the blood flow in the ears. This

makes a person prone to hearing tinnitus sounds. In some few

cases, this type of tinnitus may indicate the presence of a fatal

medical condition like an aneurysm. Therefore, the patient's

condition must be diagnosed correctly to pin down the possible

factors causing the tinnitus sounds heard by the sufferer.

The clinical investigation of this condition involves analyzing the

patient's medical history to check for prior cardiovascular

conditions. The doctor may suggest that the patient undergoes

CT scan, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), magnetic

resonance scanning (MRI), angiography, and ultrasound. These

tests and examinations show the images of blood flow and blood

vessels thereby helping the doctor identify the main problem. The

doctor may also do some blood tests to check if the patient has

anemia.

Relief against objective tinnitus depends mainly on the primary

condition, which upon identification must receive immediate

treatment. For example, if the cause of the condition is

hypertension, it must be treated by taking medication that can

lower the blood pressure, diet change, and lifestyle modification.

Causes Of Tinnitus

There are certain situation que may cause tinnitus:

Tinnitus is caused by damage to the nerves in the inner ear

(cochlea). These nerves transmit electrical impulses to the brain

which the brain then interprets as sounds. When these nerves

are damaged, the signal becomes distorted. When this distorted

signal gets to the brain, the brain interprets it as a noise which is

Tinnitus.

Exposure to noise

Did your mom always tell you with your younger days to turn

down the volume? She was suitable. Exposure to loud noise can

supply you with tinnitus. In reality, rock musicians, and

individuals who operate with them, or in evening clubs often have

it. Those who do the job in building web-sites also have tinnitus.

So turn down that volume even though you still can. One of the

most common tinnitus causes that you need to know is the

constant exposure to loud noise or music. If you are fond of

listening to loud music using your headphones or MP3 players,

you better consider lowering down the volume to a much

tolerable level. Although you feel that you can endure the

volume, remember that your ears are not built to always listen

to hard and loud noises all throughout the day.

When loud sounds enter the ear, the pressure from the sounds

may break the tiny hair like nerve endings inside the ear. When

the nerve endings are broken, it may result in the high pitched

sound that most people characterize with tinnitus. If you are

Just No Tinnitus

13

13

constantly exposed to noise from engines, machinery, and even

rock concerts, you should find ways to protect your hearing.

Getting ear plugs is one of the best ways for you to protect your

ear from excessively loud sounds which are tinnitus causes.

Excess Ear Wax

When excess wax builds up in the ear canal, it can weaken the

ability to hear outside noises and may worsen noises in ears.

Middle Ear Infections

Otis media is the medical term for a middle ear infection or

inflammation of the middle ear. If left undiagnosed or untreated,

Otis media can lead to infection of the mastoid bone behind the

ear, a ruptured ear drum, and hearing loss. Sometimes, tinnitus

symptoms begin again following a middle ear infection.

Brain Or Head Injury

General symptoms of a brain or head injury include loss of

consciousness, confusion, drowsiness, personality change,

seizures, nausea, headache, and vomiting. Roughly 25% of

individuals who sustain a brain or head trauma, experience

tinnitus symptoms following the injury.

Other common causes are:

Meniere’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear that affects

balance and hearing. The tinnitus experienced by Meniere’s

patients is continual and does not subside with time, although

its levels may vary. This condition, which affects balance can

also have a side effect of Tinnitus.

Otosclerosis is an abnormal bone growth in the middle ear that

causes noises in ears. About 75% of people with otosclerosis

also experience tinnitus symptoms.

Weak Circulation may be an indication of a serious heart

14

disorder. Common symptoms of poor circulation include cold

hands and feet, white fingers, dizziness when standing quickly,

numbness, varicose veins, migraine headaches, tinnitus and

noises in ears.

High Blood Cholesterol: High blood cholesterol clogs arteries

that supply oxygen to the nerves of the inner ear. Lowering

blood cholesterol levels may reduce tinnitus symptoms.

Tension: It's essential to already understand that extreme

pressure is simply not great for the wellbeing. It could

outcome in all varieties of medical issues, and a few of them

could also be fatal. Anxiety may cause tinnitus also. A lot of it

is actually damaging for the immunity, and this could result in

a misfire inside the sound/brain waves. This adversely affects

your nervous method and tends to make you hear the noises.

Depression: Some individuals feel that depression causes

tinnitus. And you will find individuals who say that tinnitus

causes depression. But nearly all of them agree that there is

a relation amongst these two. And anyway, if your tinnitus is

bothering you endlessly, it may possibly make you depressed.

Naturally, this will likely additional complicate matters.

What Is Hyperacusis?

In elderly people, it is seen as part of growing older and is called

presbyacusis. However, in younger people, medical professionals

believe it is due to be exposed to loud noises.

Hyperacusis is a medical condition that affects millions of people

around the world. It can have a devastating or debilitating effect

not only on your personal life but on your professional life as well.

Determining the hyperacusis symptoms right at their onset

significantly helps treat the condition and prevent it from

worsening. Thus, read on and learn about the different symptoms

of hyperacusis.

Vestibular And Cochlear Hyperacusis

Hyperacusis comes in two types: vestibular and cochlear

hyperacusis. Pain in the ear, discomfort, annoyance, and other

emotional reactions caused by certain sounds are some of the

cochlear hyperacusis symptoms. Loss of postural control, loss of

balance, and falling are some of the vestibular hyperacusis

symptoms. These have been associated with symptoms of

audiogenic seizure disorder and Tullio's syndrome. People with

vestibular hyperacusis may also experience some symptoms of

cochlear hyperacusis paired with vertigo and nausea. There are

some cases when the autonomic system of the brain is also

affected, and this may result in extreme fatigue, nausea, mental

confusion, and loss of confusion. Both types of hyperacusis may

also have a headache as one of their symptoms.

Other Hyperacusis Symptoms:

Patients with hyperacusis may also experience one or more of the

following hyperacusis symptoms:

One thing you have to be aware of is that the hyperacusis

symptoms are different from those of tinnitus. In fact, as

mentioned above, tinnitus symptoms are just one of the

symptoms of hyperacusis. If you start hearing some ringing

sounds like the tinnitus sounds, make sure to consult with your

doctor right away so that he/she can determine whether what

you have is tinnitus or hyperacusis. Again, if you want to be

treated right away, make sure to know the different hyperacusis

symptoms as this is the very first step to becoming diagnosed

and getting the treatment you need to get rid of the bad effects

of hyperacusis. This condition can be devastating and

debilitating, but when you recognize the symptoms early,

something can be done to prevent it from worsening.

Aspirin Overdose

The true cause of tinnitus is not one thing. That is to say that

Just No Tinnitus

justnotinnitus.com

16

16

there are many different causes that can result in the condition

of ringing or buzzing in the ear occurring. The result, however, is

an annoying sound that can disrupt the day and make the nights

unbearable. Minimizing the conditions that can cause tinnitus is

important. Certain drugs and other items that can lead to this

condition should be avoided. A cause of tinnitus that many do not

know about is aspirin consumption. The following explains more

on why tinnitus aspirin consumption can be a problem and how

the body is damaged by too much of this often used drug.

Consider this when evaluating your consumption of the product

and how it may damage you and your body.

What Is Aspirin Good For?:

In common use, aspirin is great for combating or relieving the

dull aches and pains that can impact the body. Whether it is

soreness from working out or a headache that develops from

stress and other problems, aspirin in small doses can be a great

way to numb the pain of the body and get an individual in a more

comfortable state of being and mind. The main way that aspiring

works is as an anti-inflammatory medication for the body. The

less inflamed the body and the muscles of it are, the more likely

that an individual is to alleviate pain. Inflammation can occur for

many reasons, including disease, sickness, or the stress of the

body and its components.

Can You Overdose on Aspirin?: As with any drug, be it

prescription or over the counter, is that it can be dangerous if not

used in the proper way and in the proper amounts. Aspirin is no

exception to this rule. Individuals who are consuming aspiring in

their daily lives should follow the directions on the package

carefully. If they have any questions about how much they should

or should not consume, then a doctor should be consulted

immediately. Aspiring poisoning is real and it can be deadly if not

taken seriously by anyone consuming the product. Often, this

drug is thought of as innocuous but in the wrong amounts, it has

potential to be problematic. This becomes especially true if you

Just No Tinnitus

justnotinnitus.com

17

17

are consuming over weeks and days. Your body, however, should

begin to show you signs that something is occurring and that an

imbalance has set in.

Symptoms of an Overdose

In the most simple of cases, where aspiring poisoning is just

beginning to take place, the symptoms are slight and may be

unnoticeable. Dry mouth and headaches are among the first signs

that a problem is occurring with the amount of aspirin consumed.

Dizziness can also be a symptom as well. Moderate to severe

forms of aspirin poisoning can result in elevated pulse, agitation,

and seizures. All of which can be a problem and potentially life

threatening. If you are experiencing any of these conditions or

symptoms, there needs to be medical intervention immediately.

No symptom is too slight to not need attention. Be sure that you

seek it promptly.

Aspirin Overdose and Tinnitus

Aspirin overdose can do great damage to the body. It can cause

organs to begin failing and problems with blood clotting. These

are extremely serious. Another problem that aspirin can cause is

tinnitus. Aspirin tinnitus develops when there is too much,

obviously, aspirin in the system. Too much aspirin can damage

the tiny hair-like structures in the ear known as cilia. If the cilia

are damaged, then, it is easier for the hearing canal to have

struggles with tinnitus. Overdoses of aspirin tinnitus symptoms

go hand and hand. Do not be surprised if you are an avid

consumer that you experience the ringing in the ear as your ears

become damaged and struggle.

Medications

Some drugs both legal and illegal can cause Tinnitus as the body

reacts to them.

Tinnitus has also been reported to occur as a side effect of several

Just No Tinnitus

justnotinnitus.com

18

18

different medications. These medicines are referred to as

"Ototoxic" medications because of their toxicity to the vestibular

structures of the ears. Ototoxic medications have a high potential

of causing tinnitus as well as other symptoms such as dizziness

and vertigo. Such medications are:

Aspirin: Even though aspirin can cause tinnitus, you need to

take rather big dosages before tinnitus may occur. Taking

about eight pills a day can cause the condition.

NSAIDS: Advil, Aleve, Motrin, and Nuprin are in a class of

drugs known as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs.

These medications have been reported to cause tinnitus after

a consumption of 6-8 pills per day.

Antibiotics: Many antibiotics can cause tinnitus as well. Some

of them include Amindoglycosides, Vancomycin, and

Erythromycin. Amindoglycosides and Erythromycin cause

tinnitus, especially when using intravenously. Vancomycin can

cause tinnitus when using together with Aminoglycosides.

Diuretics: Some medications that are given to treat kidney

failure and high blood pressure can cause tinnitus. These

medications include Bumex and Lasix.

Antidepressants: Some antidepressants such as Prozac,

Celexa, Zoloft, Paxil, and Lvox may cause tinnitus. An older

antidepressant that goes by the name of Remerol has not been

reported to cause tinnitus.

Muscle Relaxers: Some muscle relaxers are also known to

cause temporal tinnitus. However, the symptoms usually

disappear rather soon after the medication is stopped.

Drugs Used in Chemotherapy: There are chemotherapy

medicines that can also cause tinnitus. The most common

ones include Nitrogen Mustard, Cisplatin, and Vincristine.

With medications, tinnitus usually subsides after time without

exposure to the ototoxic ingredient.

Treatment Of Tinnitus

For most patients, there is no cure for Tinnitus. Most treatments

simply relieve the symptoms by masking the cause of Tinnitus.

Tinnitus is sometimes strongly related to the patient’s level of

stress. By managing this level of stress via the use of sedatives,

tranquilizers or anti- depressants, the symptoms of tinnitus can

be relieved.

Some drugs which affect the conduction of electrical impulses in

the affected nerves have been found to relieve the symptoms of

stress.

There are a number of self-help measures which patients can

employ either on their own or in tandem with any assistance that

a doctor can prescribe. These include listening to soothing music

on a personal stereo before the patient goes to sleep. There are

white noise generators which can mask the noise inside your

head. This means that you can’t hear the noise generated by

tinnitus.

5 Steps To Silence

Common tinnitus symptoms can be controlled with these simple

steps:

Avoid all loud sounds and noisy places.

Avoid total silence try and mask the tinnitus with white noise.

Avoid exorbitant use of alcohol, caffeine, or aspirin.

Wear ear protection when using chain saws, guns, lawn

mowers, loud music or power tools. Exposure to loud noises

can make tinnitus worse and can also cause additional hearing

loss.

Control stress levels and learn how to relax in stressful

situations.

Most people with tinnitus also suffer from anxiety and lack of

sleep. At night when all is quiet, the ringing in your ears may

sound louder, making it harder to sleep. The lack of sleep, in turn,

makes you more tired during the day which increases your

anxiety and stress. Poor sleep induces depression, negative

thoughts and a resultant higher level of anxiety and tinnitus

symptoms.

New Treatments for Tinnitus

There are new tinnitus treatments that are available for you to

follow and adopt

Tinnitus Masker Gadget

This device is basically used for masking the ringing sound in your

ear. It provides you with a "masking" pleasant sound to your ear

so you are able to hear as normal without having that high

pitched ringing sound. This device is worn like a regular hearing

aid. However, you have to remember that it will only help you to

hear better but not to banish your tinnitus entirely. You wouldn't

want to just "mask" your hearing for the rest of your life won't

you?

Medical Application of Stem Cells

This medical approach has been developed for a host of a

neurological condition. Basically, it works by taking the stem cells

from the embryos and then transform it into a suitable cell for

human ear and re-grown them back in the area of the ear that

shows the sign of damage. This new treatment for tinnitus has

proven to work and has very high of a successful rate. However,

this method can cost you up to few thousands of dollars. It can

be very expensive for certain group of people.

TRT: Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

RT has proven to work for many tinnitus patients. How it works

is by re-training your ear and brain by using a sound generator

with a specific course of treatment by a trained therapist. This

method will take a lot of time to train and it can be up to 6 to 8

months to see results.

These above methods and applications are proven to work for

many tinnitus sufferers. However, keep in mind that there is

some limitation to these methods. These methods can be very

expensive and costly. You will need to consult with a specialist

before doing performing these methods. But apart from that, it

has proven to be effective and safe to use. Fortunately, tinnitus

not only can be cure by the above method but can also be cured

by using the natural approach. It is safer to implement and much

more affordable. You just need to follow the correct natural

approach and can completely eliminate this pain

There are actually new proven medical approaches specifically

designed to eliminate tinnitus pain naturally. It basically helps

you to permanently eliminate the pain without resorting to drugs,

audio therapies, or even any risky surgeries!

Vitamins and Minerals For Tinnitus

Treatment

Many causes of tinnitus stem from deficiencies within the body.

To resolve these deficiencies you need to supplement your diet

to restore the deficient levels. Find out which vitamin and mineral

deficiencies can cause tinnitus and why they are important in the

body.

Vitamin B Complex- Facilitate in metabolism and energy

production, support liver function of the liver and central

nervous system. Vitamin B helps reduce depression, stress,

and anxiety. The vitamin B's that are especially necessary for

treating tinnitus are B1 (thiamine), B3 (niacin), B12, B6

(pyridoxine), and B5 (folic acid).

Zinc- A deficiency of zinc causes growth arrest,

hypogonadism, infertility, diarrhea, dermatitis, alopecia,

behavioral changes, smell and taste disorders, and tinnitus.

Zinc has the ability to influence neurotransmission, inhibit

binding of peptides and other ligands to their neuroreceptors.

Calcium- Deficiency of calcium can cause brittle bones and

fractures. However, calcium enhances neural transmission.

Magnesium- Deficiency in magnesium can result in a variety

of metabolic abnormalities. However, magnesium

supplements can prevent hearing loss, reduce ototoxicity

caused by exposure to loud noises and decrease the risk of

tinnitus.

Manganese- Manganese deficiencies cause seizures,

decreased growth, impaired fertility, birth defects, tinnitus,

and lead to nervous symptoms. Manganese supports the

immune system, regulates blood sugar, produces cellular

energy, helps in reproduction, and assists in bone growth.

Manganese can control the effects of stress and stabilize the

effects of tinnitus.

Selenium- Selenium deficiency can cause myalgia,

cardiomyopathies, and nervous system abnormalities.

Because the amount of selenium needed in the body is

minimal deficiencies are rare.

Noise Masking

Often times these individuals will use a device that will generate

an artificial noise to mask the tinnitus sound. This process is

called tinnitus retraining therapy. It is a widely known and

practiced remedy to the noise. Although it doesn’t actually make

the noise disappear, it makes the noise less annoying and

disturbing the person who is affected; this makes the noise easier

to ignore allowing the individual to concentrate on mental tasks.

If you are living with tinnitus, chances are you explored some of

the non-standard methods available. One of the treatments

growing in popularity today is tinnitus masking. This method is

nothing new as tinnitus masking has been around since the early

1900's. Do understand this treatment does not work for everyone

as some individuals may not experience true success but those

who do find relief to this procedure claim it is a lifesaver as

tinnitus masking creates a common hearing condition once more.

You must realize what tinnitus masking is. The name says it all

as this treatment will mask or block high pitched noise associated

with tinnitus and obstruct the bad noise with more pleasurable

and refreshing sounds. Sounds like water and nature are just a

common occurrence depending on which masking treatment you

are comfortable.

One of the many advantages of a tinnitus masking treatment is

Tinnitus Is Related To Stress

And Anxiety

Stress can cause many problems and exacerbate others,

including Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears. Many individuals suffer

from this malady and can deal with it on a daily basis until stress

levels rise and then the Tinnitus becomes significantly worse.

Of course, there are many different reasons why an individual

may develop Tinnitus, but stress and anxiety can intensify the

effects of the ringing in the ears. Because of this individuals with

Tinnitus need to manage the stress in their lives to minimize the

effects.

In general, when an individual suffers from tinnitus the body feels

as if it is being attacked at all times. So, the effects are never-

ending and the body ultimately responds in a physical way with

additional problems like insomnia, anxiety, and even depression.

Once these responses occur they only serve to intensify the

tinnitus, which is just a violent circle. Because of this, it is

incredibly important for sufferers to find a way to relax and keep

their symptoms at bay (as much as possible) instead of stressing

out and exacerbating them.

This is much easier to say than to actually implement. But,

nevertheless, it is very important to make an effort to achieve.

Sufferers of tinnitus know this very well and try their best not to

stress out because the ringing in their ears only gets worse.

It is unfortunate that tinnitus makes individuals stress out over

their symptoms and then their stressing only causes their

symptoms to worsen. Fortunately, for individuals with tinnitus,

there are ways to get stress under control before it gets out of

hand and causes the individual worse ringing in their ears. One

Just No Tinnitus

example of a way to reduce stress is to simply exercise.

Try Exercise Or Yoga

It has been proven that exercise really helps individuals relax,

forget about what’s bothering them, and simply enjoy life. Those

with tinnitus should exercise every single day in order to relax,

forget about their ringing ears for just a bit, and hopefully relax

enough to keep the symptoms from getting too bad. Another

good option for reducing stress is to take part in yoga and

meditation and even have a massage on a regular basis.

Nobody wants to have tinnitus and those who do certainly don’t

want their symptoms to get any worse than they have to. Due to

this individuals suffering from tinnitus should make all efforts to

live a low key and relaxing life that has as little stress as possible.

And, in addition to this tinnitus sufferers should do their best to

exercise and take part in relaxation exercises to keep what stress

they do have at bay. Many individuals suffer from tinnitus and of

them, approximately 90% experience exaggerated symptoms

when subjected to stressful situations.

Because of this, individuals with tinnitus must do all they can in

order to reduce stress in their lives so they may live an enjoyable

life.

Foods to Avoid for Tinnitus List

The first thing that needs to be said here is that the link between

certain foods and tinnitus isn't, in fact, a direct link because, as

we've seen, tinnitus is just a symptom of an underlying problem.

So the link is actually between certain foods and the underlying

issues. In other words, certain foods or ingredients can cause

problems or issues in some people which may lead to tinnitus. An

obvious one is allergies for example.

Salt. This is an obvious one since too much salt can lead to

high blood pressure which we know is an underlying cause of

ringing in the ears.

Refined sugar. The variation in blood sugar levels and the

release of adrenaline can trigger tinnitus.

Saturated and trans-fats are next on the list. These can cause

deposits inside blood vessels and hardening of the arteries.

The blood flow then becomes turbulent and this can be heard

as tinnitus.

MSG, or monosodium glutamate, can be found in many of our

foods as a flavor enhancer. Unfortunately, glutamate is an

excitatory neurotransmitter that can cause tinnitus.

Other foods: chocolate, cheese, red wine, honey, ripe

bananas, soy, and avocados.

Anyone with tinnitus may want to try avoiding or at the very least

reducing their intake of these types of foods. But, on its own, this

approach may not be enough to get rid of your tinnitus.

The Tinnitus Mantra

Let’s get 3 important things into perspective here. I will repeat

these 3 sentences until they are tattooed into your soul.

Tinnitus is not a disease, it is a symptom!

Just No Tinnitus

You are not sick and you are not mentally ill. You are being

warned!

You will defeat tinnitus if you accept it as a part of you.

As soon as you are ready to accept that the tinnitus is a part

of you, the sooner you can expect to make progress.

The power of the mind is extraordinary. Think about this

carefully. If tinnitus succeeded in turning your life upside

down, then accept the fact that all it used to achieve misery

was your own mind. That’s quite an achievement isn’t it?

That’s how powerful your mind is. If it has the capability to

make your life a complete misery then surely it can be re-

programmed to do the opposite.

It’s entirely up to you. The solution lies within yourself and

your ability to learn.

What do we know about the causes of tinnitus?.

Where does it have its roots?

List Of Elements That Contribute To Tinnitus

Ever heard of social sickness? Me either. Its a phrase that I like

though. In Germany its called Volkskrankheit (has nothing to do

with cars).

I once tried to compile a list of all elements which I suspected

may have contributed to MY own tinnitus. Obviously, I listed the

negative aspects of my life over a 10 year period.

Some of these things could have been avoided, most of them

were linked to each other. Don’t forget, this is only a list of things

that I think should be mentioned.

I’ve tried not to generalize and I’ve tried my best to stay honest,

even if it means confessing to some bad sins.

To be perfectly honest it’s not as dramatic as it looks. It just looks

outrageous when written down!

Marital Stress,

Heavy smoking,

Drug and medication abuse, (i.e. Valium, Marijuana, Cocaine)

Relationship crisis,

Unhealthy eating habits,

Loud noises,

Lack of exercise,

High cholesterol,

High blood sugar rate,

Personal loss,

Caffeine addiction ( coffee and cola )

Lack of sleep,

Financial Problems,

Overweight,

Business pressures,

Inclination to worry about everything.

It looks terrible I know. The worst thing is that I am one of the

millions who used to live like this. If you can’t identify with

anything written on this list then you shouldn’t have tinnitus. Any

one of these elements on their own would be harmful enough for

any person.

Combine them and you’re left with a time bomb waiting to

explode.

So now we have two lists. The first one above describes the

symptoms and the second one describes possible causes. If you

look carefully at the causes

it won’t take much imagination to conjure up a “symptom list”

like the one above. What else do you expect?

Writing Your Own List

I dare you. Take a pen and paper and write down your own “bad

list”. Be absolutely honest and write down all the things that you

aren’t proud of or maybe would rather forget. Write down all the

things you would like to change if you had a magic wand. (My

bad list is there for everyone to see. You can hide yours)

By the way, you don’t have to have tinnitus to create a list like

mine. I would be willing to bet that EVERYONE can come up with

a list similar to mine. I say only similar because I know that not

everyone is overweight, or smokes or tried drugs.

Think carefully about what you are reading on your list. If you

are very honest, you will find that you don’t need a magic wand

to shorten this list. The only person on this planet that can change

this list to something to be proud of is YOU!

I consider myself to be lucky. Tinnitus gave me a chance to re-

shuffle my life

Tinnitus is not a disease, it is a symptom!

You are not sick and you are not mentally ill. You are being

You will defeat tinnitus if you accept it as a part of you.

After an “auditory crash” two years ago which left me with a

temporary loss of all hearing, I had no other choice than to take

later.

After reading many books and collecting all the information I

could find, I decided to take action. I didn’t know it then, but the

decision to cut out everything that was harming me probably

saved my life.

Did you already write down your own list?. If not, let’s imagine

this is your list.

Where do you start?

There are some things you can change straight away and without

hesitation. Other things will require great patience, lots of time

and the will to change.

Suffering Of Tinnitus? You

Are Not Alone

Some of the best musicians in the world had deafness problems.

If you think that is not possible, here are a few names you have

probably heard of.

The first is Ludwig van Beethoven. You know, that classical

German composer and pianist. At the age of 26, he began to lose

his hearing since he suffered from a severe form of tinnitus which

made it difficult for him to perceive and appreciate music.

Although there were no high tech gadgets back then to help with

his problem, he used a special rod which he attached to the

soundboard on a piano that he could bite so the vibrations would

then transfer from the piano to his jaw. This was just one of the

many hearing aids he used even when he was almost totally deaf.

But this did not hinder Beethoven from composing. To this day,

musicians and music lovers alike still appreciate his work as a

talented composer and pianist.

Let’s go forward almost about 200 years and surely those who

are reading this are familiar with the group the Beatles. Sir

George Henry Martin who is a British record producer, arranger

and composer also had hearing problems.

He was often referred to as the Fifth Beatle because he was either

the producer or co-producer of all the Beatles original records and

played the piano in some of their songs. Unlike Beethoven, he

retired from music due to hearing loss.

Another musician from Great Britain is the singer Peter

Townshend. If you watch CSI, the soundtrack of that series was

from this rock group. Just like Beethoven, Townshend suffered

from tinnitus as a direct result of over exposure to loud music

through the headphones and during concerts.

On the American front, you have Brian Wilson who happens to be

a songwriter, bassist, and singer for the Beach Boys. What makes

this person different is the fact that he was deaf in one ear not

because of any illness. This happened when his father hit him on

the head with a board while he was still young. Like the other

musicians, this did not stop him from being part of the one best

recording band’s in music history.

One song diva, movie star and political activist who also has

deafness problems is Barbra Streisand. At the age of 7, her doctor

diagnosed her with tinnitus. But as we all know, she still pursued

her singing career and even did a few films.

Eric Clapton, known guitarist and singer also has deafness

problems. He like other musicians believes that this was caused

by the loud speakers used during rock concerts. The sad part is

that whether it is acute, mild or severe, permanent damage has

been done and there is no way to reverse the symptoms.

The good news is that there are now treatments available but its

success has varying degrees of reliability.

The musicians that were mentioned here were not deaf when

they were born. They lost it later on in life but even with such a

handicap, this has not stopped them from writing, producing or

playing great music for audiences. If you know someone who has

deafness problems, you can still help them be successful in life

with a little encouragement.
