Tinnitus: Preaching To The Choir In Your Ears
How much screaming will you tolerate before taking decisive action. I have learnt to preach to the choir in my ears. I did so because there came a time a when I realized that no one and nothing was going to rid me of my tinnitus.
Just a small reminder of some of the therapies I have tried in order to find some peace and quite in my life: Acupuncture, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, infusions, Valium, Anti-depressants, orthodontic treatment, hearing aids, masking aids, " Tinnitus Re-Training " program, etc. I was asked to wear a specially designed corset to strengthen my back. I was asked to wear a brace by an orthodontic specialist. I have been advised to take Botox ® and now I am being advised to try a new " Herbal Tinnitus Formula " which may or may not help relieve Tinnitus. To add to all this, I spent at least 6 weeks in a Tinnitus clinic for rehabilitation measures. I have been off work for almost 1 year and finally lost my job due to my absence.
Written down it all looks very dramatic and all in all, a pretty long story to tell.
These are the negative aspects I had to learn to accept and forget. These elements are history and must stay that way.
The most common thing that most Tinnitus victims share is the fact we will do practically anything to get rid of the screaming in our ears. We will believe anything we are told and follow all instructions. We believe because we trust what we are hearing and we all look forward to the day when our Tinnitus is gone.
Unfortunately we are often left in despair and frustration when we realize that the above therapies don ' t work and in 90 % of all cases, have to admit that our Tinnitus is going to be a part of our every day lives. This is hard to accept for anyone.
If you can established and accept this fact then you will become aware that the only way out of Tinnitus oblivion you ' re your own will. The cure lies within yourself.
Without stepping on too many toes, I must admit that the medical field did absolutely nothing to ease my Tinnitus. There are of course many theories as to why we get tinnitus and how to treat it but at the end of the day there isn ' t much that common medicine can do for us.
There is away out of this hell and the only person that will make it happen is you. Ask yourself what you would do to get rid of your own
