subject: Learn To Conquer Your New Tinnitus [print this page] The sounds of tinnitus will have been heard by the majority of people, even though they dont realise it. That our ears are ringing after exposure to very loud sounds is no wonder to any of us. We are quite tolerant of this occurring. We have experienced this phenomenon as youngsters after listening to music at excess volume either through the radio, listening to records or from going to pop concerts. That ringing sound rarely lasts very long anyway. As it is only a short lived irritation we give it scant attention, knowing it will go away eventually.
But what if it carries on, for days, months, years? That would be dreadful! Anyone with tinnitus endures that, continuously. The ringing ears which are the sounds of tinnitus stay with you as a tinnitus sufferer. They are endlessly there with you. No matter what you do or where you are going those sounds of tinnitus remain with you. The sounds of tinnitus are constantly with you constantly singing to you.
Tinnitus can manifest itself without invitation at any time. It is not necessarily the case that tinnitus sounds just continue after exposure to loud noise. At the beginning of course it is assumed that that the tinnitus sounds will fade away. When they continue, at first it is just annoying. The next stage is feeling quite anxious about it. As time goes on it can be quite frightening. Distressing because you are quite unable to get away from the sounds of tinnitus, there is absolutely nowhere to go.
It is very good sense to seek medical advice to confirm a tinnitus diagnosis. Unfortunately there is very little that your doctor can do to assist you as there is at this point in time no recognised cure for tinnitus. Perhaps, though there is comfort in knowing that there is no physical problem which could make a bad situation even worse.
So what should the new tinnitus sufferer do and where can he get some form of tinnitus support? With the availability of the internet there is a plethora of tinnitus information and tinnitus support to be found. Endlessly surfing the net for tinnitus information can work against you. Too many hours spent poring over negative websites can result in an increased negativity and resultant increase in tinnitus intensity.
Tinnitus grows with attention. The new tinnitus sufferer will very soon become aware that the more they focus on their tinnitus, the more they listen to those tinnitus sounds, the more powerful they become. However, there is an important clue here. Learning how to turn your back on the sounds of tinnitus is the very beginning in the journey to defeat tinnitus. This is the signpost to tinnitus liberation.
