Does anyone have good advice regarding treatment for tinitus?

Question

Have been suffering for years and was advised by Consultant to put off using any noise buffer as long as possible.

Answer 1

I've had tinnitus since 1994 when I had a head injury.

The first three years were pretty bad, but as time passed it lessened.

It never completely goes away, but you learn to live with it.

Some days it is worse, usually when stress affects me, others, it is much milder, as now, just whistling in the background of my mind.

I never have and never will use anything, nor take medication for it, since I believe this makes it worse.

Listen to music, listen to talk radio, concentrate on everything around you more than you concentrate on the tinnitus, it does get easier to cope with then.

The more you try to solve it, worry about it, concentrate on it, it gets louder.

That's the way I deal with it, the way I deal with everything that worries me, including painful arthritis in my hands.

One other thing, try not to scrunch your neck, in chairs, in bed, and remember that on some days, a few pillows will help, while other days it is better without any. But one thing I soon realised was that pressure on the neck nerves and veins, whilst hunching shoulders and twisting your neck, even subconsciously whilst resting, makes it much, much worse.

So, stretch your neck by holding your posture upright, as you sit and walk, and whilst lying down. Consciously keep it straight, and after a few weeks of training yourself to do this, you may find much relief.

If you catch yourself hunched over the computer, do get a straight backed chair, as I did (threw out my swivel chair) and keep your shoulders back and down, whilst lifting your chin slightly, you'll feel the benefit within half an hour.

Good luck friend.

Answer 3

Deramaxx is a drug like motrin and tylenol that people take. You should NEVER give motrin or tylenol to your dog - they are toxic. All 3 of the drugs listed above, as well as rimadyl, zubrin, metacam, and previcox are all Non-steroidal Antinflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS). All of the drugs approved for use in dogs require that a full bloodwork panel be run before their use to check kidney and liver function, and then also recheck bloodwork 1-4 weeks after starting the drug, and yearly thereafter to reassess and make sure the drugs do not cause harm. If side effects occur, they will usually start with vomiting and diarrhea. If you see this, stop the medication and call the veterinarian. MOST side effects (90%) are reversible by stopping the medication alone. Only a small percentage of dogs have severe side effects that do damage. If you are highly concerned about the side effects, then you might ask your vet about the new NSAID Previcox. Previcox has been proven in clinical studies to have the fewest side effects out of all the NSAIDS for dogs. Please do not use aspirin. I have seen more dogs suffer side effects from aspirin than from any of the approved NSAIDS we have for them - usually severe vomiting and stomach ulcers. For what it's worth, if aspirin, ibuprofen, etc had come out for humans in this day and age (instead of 30-40 years ago), they would likely be prescription medications, and not over the counter medications, due to their side effects (they are the same as deramaxx, rimadyl, previcox, zubrin, etc). People just think they're safer because they can get them over the counter, and this just is not true.

Must be reminded that tinitis is the response of interference with the Golgi bodies of the inner ear. It becomes a neurological problem and must be approached with that in mind.. Many have good response with treatment by a chiropractor... will depend on the amount of damage that has been a allowed to take place.

I have this problem occasionally but, have found a way to eliminate it by relaxing the area around the auditory nerve, eminating from the upper C. spine. One of the many thing the mind is capable of accomplishing.

Answer 5

My friend is going through accupuncture treatments for this. It is to treat the kidney meridian. As a massage therapist I can treat it also with acupressure. This friend has the tinnitus due to an injury many years ago in the shoulder area. The treatment is trying to loosen this muscle to open up the blocked channels.

Yo también he sufrido de vitiligo durante años, hasta que encontré este tratamiento natural http://vitiligo.remedios-naturales.info
Los últimos conocimientos científicos sobre el vitiligo retratado como una dermatosis causada por muchos factores y también puede tener diferentes aspectos dependiendo de la causa subyacente. De hecho, esto no es simplemente un trastorno de interés puramente estético, sino que surge de los pequeños defectos (probablemente genéticos) que pueden causar desequilibrios de la tiroides y otros órganos de naturaleza autoinmune.

Answer 7

Ginkgo Biloba herbal supplement (check with GP because it thins blood and should not be taken with meds such as aspirin or near operation dates). My son has this condition and it helps.
Reflexology
Acupuncture
Maybe homeopathy

Answer 8

La enfermedad de oír ruidos en la cabeza (zumbidos, pitidos, etcétera) se llama acúfeno. Aproximadamente la mitad de la gente sufre de acúfeno alguna vez en su vida, en un grado más o menos reducido, como los típicos pitidos que escuchamos en nuestra cabeza (mi madre decía que cuando los escuchaba, es porque alguien estaba hablando de mí).
Sin embargo, en casos más graves, estos síntomas pueden producir dolor de cabeza, problemas para dormir (pues empeoran en el silencio de la noche) o incluso problemas psicológicos.
Tratar el acúfeno o curar el acúfeno es pues uno de los objetivos principales para los que lo sufren, puesto que la alternativa es horrible. Te dejo aquí un enlace para que descargues lo necesario, un saludo.

Answer 9

I find the only thing that get rid of my tinnitus is "white noise". Background air conditioning - printer at work - television. Any background noise is better that than tinnitus. Does your Consultant suffer from it - NO. You do - do what suits you.
