I ' ve been looking for an English Term for the German word Hörsturz . In fact this term is made of 2 words . Hör ( to hear ) and Sturz ( to crash ). I find this a fitting term
Anyway this " Auditory Crash " of hearing lasted almost 2 days at the most and thanks to my doctor , I was up and about a week later . After reading many books and collecting all the information I could find , I decided to take action . I didn ' t know it then , but the decision to cut out everything that was harming me probably saved my life .
Did you already write down your own list ? If not ... let ' s imagine this is your list .
Where do you start ?
There are some things you can change straight away and without hesitation . Other things will require great patience , lots of time and the will to change .
" Let ' s start at the very beginning , a very good place you start " ( Richard Rodgers 1902 – 1979 )
Once more ... Don ' t forget ...
1 . Tinnitus is not a disease , it is a symptom .
2 . You are not sick and you are not mentally ill . You are being warned ! 3 . You will defeat tinnitus if you accept it as a part of you .
