This can occur in either one or both ears; with a frequent onset during a baby boomers 50’s or 60’s. These sounds have been described as different noises constantly playing in the ear, whether ringing, buzzing, humming, whistling or any similar sound. These episodes are uncontrollable and are often accompanied by various other symptoms; such as dizziness, pain in the ear, a sense of fullness in the ears and headaches. Tinnitus can affect anyone at any given time, but thanks to the wonderful workers at Beltone, we can all kiss our tinnitus problems away with just a little hearing aid.Your Brain At WorkBeltone is a worldwide hearing brand that makes it their point of duty to provide quality solutions to the hearing impaired. They develop solutions to hearing problems that keep your needs as the point of focus. They have manufactured and distributed hearing aids that continue to evolve as they study tinnitus more intensively.  They have now come up with a different concept of tinnitus. They believe that tinnitus is simply perception in the brain, that upon noticing the tinnitus sound, a strong negative emotional response is triggered. As you begin to focus on the strange sound then your brain loses the ability to filter out irrelevant noises before it reaches consciousness. Due to this fact, they believe that by retraining the brain to filter out these irrelevant noises you should be able to get rid of this disturbance. Your clinician will be able to help you find relief with a combination of counseling and acoustic therapy using their signature Beltone Tinnitus Breaker (a hearing aid).Acoustic TherapyDuring acoustic therapy, the Beltone Tinnitus Breaker is used to help gradually reduce your focus from the tinnitus sound and guide your brain to change its response to the tinnitus. Eventually your negative perception and frustrated feelings will be reduced.  Through counseling your clinician will help you understand what exactly tinnitus is, why it affects you and how you can reduce these episodes.  He will also urge you to keep in mind that the treatment for tinnitus may take several months.  It is also very important that you maintain a healthy lifestyle when combating tinnitus as you will be required to fight the natural inclination to isolate yourself and avoid too many different sounds.  Be sure to relax as much as possible, you may find that meditation helps as well as a healthy diet and exercising regularly.You may be required to wear the Beltone Tinnitus Breaker for up to eight hours a day and improvements can occur in as little as the first three months.  However, a long term successful treatment may require you to have acoustic therapy sessions for one year or more as managing your progress is an important part of your acoustic therapy. Simply a small price we must pay to regain our full hearing abilities.So which would you prefer? Spending a lifetime of irritating sounds, with headaches, and feeling frustrated twenty–four hours a day or enrolling in the Beltone acoustic sessions and beginning to once again hear only the sounds that you want to hear?Want more boomer related medical news bytes?

Because there is no proven cure for tinnitus many sufferers search endlessly for anything that will alleviate the constant annoying ringing.
And, what happens is, these same people grow more and more skeptical every day because almost nothing helps. Invariably though, many of them shell out thousands of dollars for medicines, therapies, procedures and even homeopathic remedies that have little to no effect.
Recently I received a very nasty email from a lady who wanted to let me know that she was furious with my online tinnitus self-help program. Even though she went into the program with nothing to lose and everything to gain, she felt that because the program didn’t instantly cure her that I should refund her tuition. I did.
You must know however, that she’d only had the information in her hands for two days before demanding a refund. Not only did she not bother to work through the program at all, she completely dismissed the idea that it could possibly help her.
What’s the basis of this program that she had enrolled in? Well, it’s based on the concept that what you focus on expands. If you focus constantly on your tinnitus then you’ll get more tinnitus. If you focus on what you truly want out of life, like happiness and success, you’ll get more of that. And, while that may seem quite vague, this concept has helped many people to alleviate the suffering and put them on the fast tract to healing.
Where did this concept come from? I learned it from others. In fact, I learned it from some very intelligent and successful people who in turn learned it from others who came before them. Did it help me? Absolutely! In less than two years I went from complete manic depression and endless victimization to living a completely fulfilling and tinnitus free life.
But, the hardest part about this program is that it takes work. Inner work. And, that’s why many people do not believe in it. Because of the inherent skepticism of many tinnitus patients they simply cannot allow themselves to believe that such a transformation is possible. And, yet I’m living proof that it is. But, most people would say that if it’s not an instant cure, what good is it?
Well, I hate to burst your bubble but, there is no cure for tinnitus. That’s not to say that no has been cured but, there is absolutely no scientific evidence that there is a proven cure. Yet, the funny part is, many people are still willing to spend thousands of dollars trying to cure the symptoms of tinnitus and to get rid of that incessant ringing. I too, went through that period. In fact, I spent well over ten thousand dollars on various pills, treatments and something called tinnitus retraining therapy.
As a result, I too was skeptical when I first began learning what real healing is. It’s a process that I had to go through and in many ways I am still going through. And, even though my tinnitus is no longer a problem, I still have other areas of my life that need healing. And, without the information that was shared with me such healing would not be possible.
That’s why I now offer my program to others. Because part of my healing process in life is to share the same information that’s helped me with anyone I can. So, I use the internet to help me do it. Everyday I put myself and my reputation on the line by offering people the opportunity to learn something that might make their tinnitus better and make their lives more enjoyable.
Do I make promises that my program will work? Yes, I do. But, that doesn’t mean you can work through the entire process in just two days. It took me the better part of seven years to learn how to be the person I am now.
Based on my personal experience I would caution anyone who thinks that they can heal overnight. That’s what creates skepticism. We’ve learned from our environment to want instant results. Well, my response to that way of thinking is this… If every thing in life came easy, just exactly what would you learn?

For example; if you focus on how bad your tinnitus is, it can’t possibly get any better.

But, why is this? Why can’t tinnitus get better if you focus your mind on tinnitus? The truth is that most of us have been taught that if we focus on the problem long enough and use all of our mind’s energy to fix the problem that it will get better. However, this is false. You cannot fix a problem created by the mind using the same mind that created it. The mind has only a limited amount of information available to it to fix problems. In fact, the mind has only its knowledge of past experiences to draw from. Therefore, if it has never fixed a problem like tinnitus before it cannot possibly comprehend all of the infinite number of ways that tinnitus can be cured or the countless number of ways to alleviate the symptoms.

So, if our mind is not powerful enough to fix tinnitus then what are we to do? Sit around and wait for a cure? Maybe, but sitting around waiting for something to happen while still being focused on the tinnitus will cause the tinnitus to get worse. We want somehow to find a way to make it better now, right?

Well, based on my experience it is possible to have the best of both worlds. I believe that tinnitus will be cured one day but I also know that I can live a tinnitus free life right now. All I have to do is make a choice to live it right now. Not tomorrow, not in a year from now but right now. Because now is all we have. All that’s ever been and all that ever will be is… now. You cannot live in the future and you cannot live in the past. You can only live now.

So, how do you choose to live in the now? By focusing on what it is you want and accept the way things are now and to be happy now. You see, that’s all that you want is it not? You want to be happy. In fact, that’s the goal of most people, to be happy. Yet, we’re so focused on doing things to get a result that will make us happy in the future that we never really get there. Because when we get there we change the rules then focus on another goal and start the cycle all over again.

How can you be happy now and still have tinnitus? Simple, choose to be happy. If you stop giving negative energy to your tinnitus and choose to be happy in the moment then that’s all you have to do. If you think you can only be happy when your tinnitus is cured then I guarantee you that you will live a long and very unhappy existence until the day you die. Because being focused on only being happy when your tinnitus is cured is completely backwards. You can only be happy now.

What are some of the ways you can learn to be happy in the moment? That’s also a simple answer. By focusing on your true heart’s desire and taking the necessary steps to achieve it then you will have succeeded in what most people will never achieve. Not only will you eventually live your dream but you will be happy everyday until you get there.

What is your true heart’s desire? That’s what your heart knows to be true. It’s what your heart knows to be the direction your life should be taking. It’s what you get excited about. For example if you’re in a job or a business that you hate you cannot possibly ever be happy. You can of course enjoy brief moments of happiness but not true happiness.

You can only enjoy true happiness by following your true heart’s desire. Anything less will be sure to bring you a life of distress, worry, doubt and constant fear. That’s what I mean by focusing on what you want. What you really want is to follow your true heart’s desire. Not only will you get it, because the universe will not allow you to fail, but you will always overcome any obstacles in your way no matter how big they are. Tinnitus is just an obstacle to overcome. Therefore, if you are focused on your true heart’s desire your tinnitus will be conquered. It has to be. Nothing, including tinnitus, can take you out of the game if you’re focused on what you want.

However, I can honestly say that I made that vow in ignorance. Because, until the person you love is suffering, one can never truly understand what that means. When my husband Paul developed a chronic case of Tinnitus (ringing in the ears), it was the beginning of a whole new journey that would put our vows to the ultimate test.

I could not see, hear, or feel what Paul was suffering from. He did not have any visible symptoms like a missing limb, bleeding, broken bones, labored breathing, or any other physical proof whatsoever that he was in a state of chronic suffering. I knew that there was a foreign sound raping his mind but, I did not and could not have a true understanding it. I felt helpless as his life experience spiraled steadily downward in fear, pain, and emotional distress. My hands were tied and I felt disempowered to do anything about it.

Up until tinnitus, we had been happily married and partners in life and business. My immediate reaction to this new challenge was to step up to the plate and be the rescuer. When Paul would dive into an emotional void of darkness, I’d find some buttons to push to remind his that all was not lost and there was still hope. I became the emotional cheerleader in the struggle. That’s all I knew how to do but, that never seemed to be enough. It caused me have feelings of self-doubt, powerlessness, fear, anger, and utter disdain for Tinnitus.

Did I want to give up? You bet! Many times I thought and truly believed that the Tinnitus was bigger than him, and me. I saw Tinnitus as the conqueror and that it had turned my husband into some different kink of stranger that I couldn’t possibly love.

The man who I knew and had loved had disappeared into a constant state of depression and victimization. I would live out many painful days watching him, observing him while all the while silently pondering the decision to either stay and fight or get up and leave. But, somehow something kept me there. Through his pain and rage and through his suffering, he would show me undeniable love. And, when I did entertain the thoughts of leaving I would witness brief moments of this love which would somehow shine through his suffering.

What I didn’t realize at the time is that the man I had lost to Tinnitus had to surrender to his illness and he had to die. I hated losing him and my heart was aching with fear, anxiety and loss. But at the same moment, I was witnessing something truly miraculous. A new man was being born.

As he changed, I changed. As he grew into awareness, so did I. I was entering into a completely new state of being that I had never known before. Certainly, the man I married was gone, but the man that grew out of suffering was a man that I would grow to love in a more authentic way than I ever thought possible.

I learned what “in sickness and in health” truly meant. I learned the true meaning of partnership; one based on personal and spiritual growth. Tinnitus forced us onto this new journey. And, even though it was often very uncomfortable and seemingly impossible, it was slowly bringing us a very beautiful place in our lives.

Tinnitus helped us graduate from romantic love to authentic love. And, it served to introduce us to the concept that we were in this partnership to help one another through our own personal development. Paul became a man that I truly admire, respect and am very proud of.

But, I too grew in many ways, and am very proud and honored to be me in this partnership. In sickness and in health may have meant very little to me at first and, if I had to do it all over again, I’d be keeping a closer eye on the prize; true happiness.

If you can fight your way to the other side of the suffering caused by tinnitus, if you can do the hard work and if you can trust the process, you will truly find your heart’s desire. I did.
