A large portion of the people I asked about tinnitus looked at me with awe as if I had a hand transplanted to my head.
But later on, after a brief and simple explanation of what it is, they softened up and treated me like the sane person that I am.
Tinnitus is a condition of the ear that is not exactly terminal but it is irritating all the same.
This is the buzzing like sound that you hear in the ears when it is quiet.
A tinnitus hearing aid is the recommended treatment method.
A number of causes have been listed as possible trigger factors.
Damage to the ears is what basically cases it and based on this there are a number of things that can bring this about.
Listening to extremely loud music, using rough objects to clean ears, wax build up and stress are known trigger factors.
But to resolve this problem hearing non surgically implanted hearing aids must be used.
Neuromonics is the technique used to rehabilitate sufferers of tinnitus.
This makes use of an audio device that is placed inside the ear.
A device of this nature is used to block away the irritation to ensure that it does not disturb you.
In fact the science of Neuromonics uses the art of blocking off irritation, but it does not treat the condition.
The noise is similar to white noise in the sense that the music that plays is soft, relaxed and soothing.
It should be used at least three times a day, especially at the time when you are experiencing the ringing noise.
This therapy must be used for at least 6 months to achieve the best results.
When you start this treatment make sure that you do this for a long period of time at first.
Then after some time you must then proceed to reduce the exposure time.
This allows the brain to quickly get used to the sound and to readjust your sensory nerves to ignore such sounds.
