Tinnitus : Therapy ? You Are The Cure !
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 .
