subject: The Name Of The Misery Is Tinnitus [print this page] The word has two pronunciations that are acceptable and the only difference is where you put the accent which is either on the first or the second syllable and the latter one is with a long I. High grade distress is how it is called because the sound inside the head of a person goes on and on. Without anything from the environment causing it, a ringing or a buzzing sound in the ear is repeatedly played and that is called tinnitus.
You can find a new description as you ask from one sufferer to another. It is a humming sound in my case just like putting a hair drier on my head for the entire day, while for others it would be like trains roaring or bells clanging. There is even a tinnitus complainant that I know who describes his tormenting sounds like the bullet train in Japan.
We are all praying that a nonstop research is transpiring all day to find the cure for this agony. We will have to live with sufferers taking their own lives for the meantime. Three patients of a Huntingdon audiologist experienced that desperation and committed suicide to put an end to it.
Kids these days are very fond of loud music such as rock and roll and this bothers the audiologist a lot because blasting their ears with these sounds ruin their hearing. I believe we should not put the blame on the music type. Even the slowest music can have the same effect if it reaches the critical volume.
I was partying in a low ceilinged ballroom one time and someone caught me with cotton in my ears. That was the event that marked the beginning of the sounds that never left my head and so I sought the help of a doctor to be prescribed of a pill. The pill was more than just bitter because he also told me that I am having tinnitus, a condition I will be living with for the rest of my life.
It is not a pleasant experience so the young generation should be watchful of the loudness of their music. The height of the noise that they stuff some ears is horrific.
Most of the youth will not feel their hearing slowly disintegrating but this will surely be noticeable once they become old. How you listened in your years will tell you how much of hearing you will have left when you are older. Six out of 10 college freshmen came out hearing compromised and the condition points to loud music as the main contributor.
Another group of researchers say newborns seem specifically vulnerable to inner ear damage from blatant noises and may even experience resultant loss of brain cells. He advises parents to avoid exposing their newborns to continuous loud low frequency sounds such as those emitted by unshielded jet engines or chain saws.
Researchers in Sweden have cautioned that noisy toys also may harm hearing. Squeaky rubber squeeze toys should not be held close to the ears because it can be as bad as a chain saw noise when it comes to effect.
