subject: Tinnitus - What To Do When Ringing Ears Cause Havoc In Your Life [print this page] Ringing ears cause a terrible condition that affects millions of people all over the world. It's mostly just a temporary problem, which can affect just one ear or both ears, but sometimes it stays with the sufferer for a very long time. Out of nowhere the person suddenly hears noises and sounds in their ears, ranging from a quiet hissing to a loud ringing, beeping or buzzing. The question is, is there anything that can be done about it?
Medical science has never really been able to come up with a complete cure for Tinnitus. Most of you will have experienced a mild form of temporary Tinnitus at some time or another. Sudden noises in your ears can come out of nowhere, even when all you are doing is relaxing in the sunshine, reading a book. Sometimes these sudden sounds can be quite loud, however, more often you are likely to experience some sort of noises for just a few seconds before they suddenly stop again. But just imagine how disruptive it would be to have constantly ringing ears! Unfortunately, some people hear a ringing in their ears all the time - constantly - and in some rare cases it can even drive them insane.
Tinnitus can affect absolutely anybody. It is not limited to any particular age, (although the over fifties do statistically suffer more cases than any other specific age group), and it is oblivious to gender, race, or circumstance. The medical fraternity has so far not been able to define its cause, and Tinnitus sufferers have been told that there is no absolute cure. Over the years all sorts of products have come onto the market, claiming that they can cure Tinnitus, however, so far not one of them has lived up to their promises.
Doctors have been warning people for decades not to expose themselves to overly loud noises. Things like going to rock concerts, or playing music too loudly through your headphones is known to cause damage to the sensitive nerves within your ear. You might have even experienced yourself a ringing or buzzing in your ears after visiting a concert when the music was either very loud or when you were standing too close to the speakers. Even at work today, health and safety has stepped in, in a big way, with strong recommendations about noise levels within the working environment. Obviously, it's important that you look after your hearing, however, since the true cause for Tinnitus still hasn't been discovered it's difficult to know exactly how to protect yourself from a Tinnitus attack.
Since medical research has let to no explanation of the ringing ears cause or even suggests a proven cure, it will come as enormous relief to all Tinnitus sufferers to hear that there is a way of reducing the choir in your head tremendously and it all comes down to looking at the problem not just from a medical, but from a HOLISTIC point of view. Finally, there are some good news for Tinnitus sufferers all over the world.
