The video below discuss the different noises heard by tinnitus sufferers. As you may know, the noises and sounds associated with tinnitus are many and varied.  And nearly everyone describes those sounds differently.

• What one person describes as a “high pitched ringing” could well be described by another as a “whistling” or even as a “continuous screaming in my ears.”

Describing the noises that tinnitus sufferers hear is thus really open to the individual’s interpretation.For this reason one cannot always rely on the noises that you hear and describe, to correctly determine the tinnitus type or cause with any degree of certainty.

• Having said that, our dealings and communications with countless thousands of tinnitus sufferers over the years has enabled us to pinpoint the most common tinnitus noises associated with certain causes of tinnitus with a fair degree of accuracy.

The tinnitus noises and causes described are based on success stories and testimonials we have received from clients who have found relief using a particular remedy to relieve tinnitus that was causing them to hear certain distinct sounds.
The first tinnitus cause we will discuss is tinnitus from cochlear damage which can be the result of:

• exposure to noise
• a blow to the head – either from a fall, a motor accident or even the airbags inflating in a motor accident
• an ear wax removal gone wrong
• sports injuries
• dental or head surgery
• ear or nasal passage surgery
• middle ear infections and fevers
• inner ear infections and problems

Those life events all can lead to cochlear damage which causes the following tinnitus sounds to be heard:

• ringing of bells bells
• chirping sounds
• sounds like cicadas or crickets
• roaring, hissing and fluttering sounds

Where people have experienced traumatic life events or live very stressful lives the following sounds are reported:

• whizzing sounds
• rushing sounds like water in a waterfall
• ear ringing
• high pitched whistling

Where people have experienced continued Sinus or Allergy Problems the following sounds are reported:

• Clucking or cracking sounds
• Gurgling, whirring sounds
• a ringing tone in the affected ear which comes and goes periodically, lasting a few seconds at a time.

You can use these noises to identify the cause of your tinnitus with a fair degree of accuracy however you must also take into account the life events that could have lead to your tinnitus problems, and then to make an informed decision as to the cause of your tinnitus.

Why is identifying the cause of the tinnitus  so important?

Well, it is vitally important because once you have pinpointed the cause of your tinnitus; you can then order the correct remedy to treat the tinnitus.

I’m a musician and an electrical engineer for a fortune 50 company and have a small business of my own as well. In my business I design guitars, music products, pre-amps and high quality digital audio products. I really NEED my ears for what I do. Being a musician, I have had “occasional” high frequency “ringing” in my ears many years ago but never ever like the horrible ringing I’m experiencing now. Years ago, I would just go to bed with the ringing and in the next morning the ringing would all be gone!

So here is how I know I received a really bad case of tinnitus just this past year. I was preparing my first exhibit for the 2008 NAMM trade show in January. Just a few months prior to January I purchased and was running a few new power tools. Specifically a power hand router for cutting grooves into the wood of solid body electric guitars. I wore eye protection but no ear protection.

The sound was loud and I don’t know what I was thinking by not providing ear protection for myself! I was a man on a mission and had to get these proto-type guitars ready for the show. The ringing came later. I was fine while at the trade show but upon returning home just two days after getting off the plane and being back on the east coast, I noticed this very loud ringing.

Now, my ears would hurt with the sounds around me. Pots and pans clanging would send me through the roof! I was really freaking out. I went to two ENT’s who said that this is a warning sign and that there is nothing that can be done about the ringing aside from the possible use of tranquilizers. This was very upsetting and unacceptable to me.

I did much due-diligence and found several sites for tinnitus along with your site. I must say I was quite skeptical and left a message on your toll free line. But when I received a call back later that same evening from Ellen and was able to explain what had happened to me, we were able to figure out the correct treatment right away. This brought me to tears because I was really relieved to understand that this is science at work and my hopes for a recovery could be true again.

I must have unknowingly really hurt my ears bad. We are talking about several weeks of working with loud routers a foot or two away from your head. I’m on my third bottle from my first 3 month supply of type-4 T-Gone and have just ordered another course of type 4 extra strength.

It has been quite slow but I can say that the treatment has been making a positive difference. Back in mid January and February, the ringing was intolerable, then it got slightly better, now it seems to subside between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 AM each day.

Now, I ask myself is this an intolerable day or a tolerable day? I’m having more tolerable days and really want my ears back. I still have a ways to go and continue to ask for God’s help, help from my family and friends and continue with the T-Gone treatments with the hope that it gets even better over time in reducing the ear sensitivity and ringing.

Thanks for that call back Ellen,

Eric

Hi Eric,

I am so pleased to get this type of email and to be able to use it to helps others who may be skeptical as you were.

It does often help to talk to Ellen, even when you are taking the remedies, we could all do with some help

As Ellen advised you, the T-Gone Remedies are not a quick fix but many people do not realize this in today’s fast world! In your case, being a musician was most certainly the root cause of your tinnitus and the work you did with the power tools was obviously an aggravating factor.

Tinnitus resulting from noise induced cochlea damage does not happen overnight and it will take many months of patience and persistence (as you are proving right now) to get your life back to normality. But it will happen. You will notice that those good days start getting more frequent that the bad days. Keep it up!

Please just take care to wear the best hearing protection available when playing music or working with power tools to avoid new damage or to worsen the damage you have already suffered.

Congratulations Eric, your inspirational message qualifies you as a winner in our competition and will soon be contacted by Alexis who will arrange to send you a further 90 day supply of the remedies with our compliments!

Kind regards,

John Currie

It may scare most people when they hear a really troubling ear ringing and if they discover that these noises cannot be heard by people who are with them. It makes most people want to scream in anger or bang their heads out of frustration. This is why most of those who have tinnitus are expected to be subjected to a lot of stress, but it is one thing that they must avoid. Stress actually makes their tinnitus much louder, and this can only mean a much bigger problem for them. If you know all the things that you must avoid and do, then perhaps you would be living a more meaningful life even with a tinnitus.

There is actually a tried and tested secret to put a stop to tinnitus. It does not mean putting a stop to it that would mean you completely eliminate it, but putting a stop to tinnitus in a sense that the ear ringing becomes so mild that you barely notice it to be there. One thing that a person must do is not to give much attention to the tinnitus. The more you listen and pay attention to the noise, the louder it gets. It would help if you keep yourself busy to get your attention off the noise. Every time you become idle, you are only giving yourself time to listen to the noise more.

Aside from keeping yourself busy, you will need to eat nutritious foods. It is important that you stay healthy. Being healthy boosts your immune system and helps you cope better with your condition as compared to someone who has has a weak immune system. It also gives you lesser chances to be subjected to stress when you have a healthy body.

To help you sleep at night, white noise tinnitus masking CDs may be used. It has helped thousands of tinnitus patients around the world. Though the relief it gives is just temporary and effective only while the masker is worn, it has helped most tinnitus patients to adapt to their tinnitus and get some sleep and rest when needed.

If you want to put a stop to your tinnitus, it takes a little determination and a positive attitude to conquer the problem. If you allow the problem to overcome you then it will bother you for the rest of your life.

Recently however, we have noticed a sudden rise in statistics for teenagers having tinnitus. Upon consultation with their respective physicians, it was found out that most of them have tinnitus due to frequent exposure to loud noise. Parents of teenagers who are not yet part of the “tinnitus” statistics are bothered about this and would like to know how to prevent tinnitus amongst teenagers. Whether you are an adult or a teenager, loud noise is harmful to your ears, and when we say loud noise, that includes loud music.

So if you are a parent with a teenager at home and you are interested to know how to prevent tinnitus amongst teenagers, be aware that loud music is harmful to the ears and tell your child about it. We normally see teenagers banging their heads at loud concerts, listening to music in their own bedrooms with their speakers fully blasted, and lately we see them with earphones on, listening to music from their MP3/MP4 players. There could have been no problem with using earphones when listening to these portable players, but the problem sets in when the person using the portable player forgets or fails to notice that they are already listening to the music way too loud.

Teenagers need to be reminded that to appreciate the music that they are listening to, they do not really need to have the volume of their players at full volume. There is in fact a 60-60 rule to it. To be safe, it is recommended to turn the volume up to the 60% loudness only and to use the portable players only for a maximum of 60 minutes.
