Only those of us that have had to endure the sounds of tinnitus sounding off in our
consciousness and who have endured the constant ringing in the ears that describe it actually comprehend the distress tinnitus engenders. We and we alone know the detrimental frustration that tinnitus invokes in our lives.
The sounds of tinnitus come to lodge in your head without invitation and with every ambition of outstaying any welcome. Tinnitus can be likened to a parasite of the auditory senses. It thrives on attention and makes itself most apparent when we are most seeking to rest. Untouchable as it is, it reaches out and touches our lives morning, noon and night.
Tinnitus can seem like a child continuously screaming for your attention. Attention seeking usually diminishes when it becomes plain that it is not being listened to. Tinnitus conducts itself in much the same manner. Resolve that you will ignore it and by degree you will find its presence less intrusive.
The alarm and frustration brought on by the view that there is no cure for tinnitus is very real. To believe that you are likely to have to live with this trespasser into your senses for the rest of your life can begin a downward spiral of stress. The more you listen to the sounds of tinnitus the more you focus on them. The more you focus on them the more powerful they become. A vicious circle unfolds to torment you.
The truth that the causes of tinnitus are at best undetermined delivers the reality that there is no acknowledged or absolute cure. That said, there are tinnitus cures that quite definitely give relief for some sufferers. Some people will get tinnitus relief in one way and others in another. Those accepting the negative view that tinnitus is incurable and then refusing to even look at alternative treatments are as a result condemning themselves to live with the condition and without hope.
Those that take a positive outlook and who are willing to take a chance will start a journey that at worst carries with it some hope and at best a cure. For many that try, the endgame may perhaps only be somewhere between the two. However only those who suffer tinnitus can truly understand the rewards that even some relief can bring.
Peace of mind and peace in the mind are potentially the reward for those that step out of the box and seek tinnitus liberation. Stress and depression are the self perpetuating nightmare of those that curl up and do nothing. Which one are you?
