Tinnitus ringing in the ears can be a completely debilitating condition. Depending on how severe yours is, you may find it greatly interferes with your daily activities and responsibilities. Some people find that this ringing completely overtakes their normal life and daily functions.

Others find that it makes it hard to sleep, leading to problems that come with fatigue. This can affect work, school and interpersonal relationships.

These sounds can interfere with the daily functions of the person on a variety of levels.

  • Ear/ hearing damage
  • Loud noises

  • Ear infection
  • Brain or head injury
  • Menieres Disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Stress
  • Lyme disease

Now that you know more about tinnitus ringing in the ears, you can try to manage your symptoms in a variety of ways. Your first step might be to try to determine the cause of the tinnitus. The types of sounds you hear can sometimes be a clue to help with this.

While there is no cure for ringing in the ears from tinnitus, there are natural /homeopathic treatments that many people experience great results from. Some people also believe treatment with certain vitamins and minerals can help alleviate if not completely remove the tinnitus ringing in the ears.

There are also alternative therapies such as essential oils, certain herbs or ear candling. There are also new ideas being worked on every day to find new treatments and a possible cure in the future for tinnitus. Until that happens, people need to learn to manage the symptoms they have as best they can so they do not become overwhelming by tinnitus ringing in the ears.

Tinnitus Cure

By Lisa On October 12, 2009 1 Comment

Tinnitus cure alternatives are being explored for those who have this condition and need relief. Since tinnitus is not a disease or any type of medical condition, it cannot be cured. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t find relief. The best treatment for tinnitus is finding the medical condition, medication or whatever is causing you to have tinnitus as a symptom and cure it. Once this is done, the tinnitus will most likely go away.

Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done. You can’t always find the problem that is causing tinnitus and sometimes, it’s caused by something that can’t be cured. In these instances, you need something to make living with tinnitus easier.

There are several tinnitus cure alternatives that can be used to help make living with this condition easier but there is one that you can work into your daily routine. You can make sure you eat a healthy nutritious diet and get the right amount of exercise. Believe it or not, this can help to reduce your tinnitus symptoms.

Unhealthy foods can contribute to high blood pressure and other medical conditions that can make your tinnitus worse. Eating a good healthy diet will help to keep you fit and healthy, which in turn will help to reduce the noises that you hear. Exercise will do the same thing plus, it will help to increase the blood flow to the ear canal helping to reduce the tinnitus noises.

When you’re searching for a tinnitus cure, diet and exercise may be the last thing on your mind but it can help. Not only will it help to relieve tinnitus symptoms but it will help you to get in better shape, feel better and have more energy. It’s a great way to do something good for your entire body and help reduce your tinnitus symptoms at the same time.

Of course, if your tinnitus is severe, you may need to use other forms of treatment in combination with diet and exercise, but it will still help you get started on the road to recovery. The better shape your body is in, the easier it will be to fight off diseases and reduce your risk of getting medical conditions that can contribute to tinnitus.

Tough Attitude in Tough Times

By John On August 10, 2009 No Comments

I will call tomorrow.
 
I’ve had the tinnitus for 8 years now. I live a very healthy life style. No high blood pressure, no diabetes. Management weight. No exposure to loud noises. I had a scan of the carotid arteries – no blockages. No ear infections. No wax buildup. ENT could find nothing – and no loss of hearing. I was handed the brochure. I do take Tegretol – can this medication be related to the ringing?
 
The life changing events related to stress-
 
Crime: Was stabbed at work by an escaped convict 23 years ago. The very real belief I was not going to survive that evening. The ensuing court case, workman’s comp. Unemployment.
A year ago, on the anniversary of this crime, my Aunt and Uncle from South Africa were harmed in a similar crime and my cousins turned to me for emotional support and to contact my Dad for them. My uncle died 6 months later due to the complications of his injuries.
 
My parents (live in FL, I live in MI): 11 years of my mom with Alzheimers.. My Mom has not remembered my brothers and I for over 4 years. Having to help my parents with a sweepstakes scam 2 years ago – they have given approximately 80,000 to the scams – and to this day my Dad still partitipates to a much smaller degree. My Mom is still alive. My Dad had to put her in care a year ago as he could not longer handle the incontinence. The market crashing and destroying what little savings they had left. My brother refusing to work and living off my parents. The younger brother is the one my parents added to their accounts. My older borther refuses to assist in any way.
 
Currently I work for a bank in computer programming. My husband retired so I get to deal with his boredom when I come home. The complaints about how if I work late I make him wait for some event. He is several years older than I. My husband maintians few friendships.
 
Layoff stories: About the time the tinnitus began might have been with my first layoff by Spartan stores after 13 years of employment. Then worked as a temporary worker for 4 years. Living in Michigan with the continued heart renching stories concerning work, reposessions due to loss of employement, friends having the leave Michigan.

Family life: We have no family here. I have 4 stepkids and 6 grandchilden. They pretty much maintain contact with their Mom and minimal contact with us – as she lives in CA -exciting and Michigan is where you grow corn – boring,,,,,
 
The odd thing is I am grateful for the job I have (how many computer jobs in this area have been lost to positions in India). Michigan is a beautiful state. I love the winter and the seasons. My husband and I have been working hard to recover our investments. I have a great Australian Shepherd dog. We have become involved in a church. And I breed daylilies – to see the new and different blossoms makes my day. My oldest stepdaughter – who we raised from 13 to 19 thinks of us – and does invite us to come visit.
 
I have started the treatment for Stress.

Hiya Mari,

So glad to hear from you. I salute you because of your positive attitude! Keep it up and your tinnitus will hopefully soon be a thing of the past.

Regards,

John
