Tinnitus

In sickness and in health is a promise I made to my husband twelve years ago. 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.

Before we discuss natural Tinnitus therapy you need to know that the sounds of Tinnitus — e.g. hissing, whooshing, knocking, clicking, ticking, ringing, etc. — are actually the symptoms of some other problem you have. So that your Tinnitus isn’t a condition in itself, but rather the sign of some other underlying condition. And, depending on the severity, Tinnitus can cause you problems in your workplace, your relationships and your day-to-day activities. Here you’ll discover how to use natural Tinnitus therapy to help you get relief from your Tinnitus symptoms.

First, as was said in the introduction, Tinnitus itself isn’t a medical condition but the result of some other underlying condition or problem. So that to deal effectively with your Tinnitus you first need to identify the cause or causes of your Tinnitus in order to apply the Tinnitus therapy that’s right for you.

The 3 main causes are (1) ear damage, (2) health problems and (3) loud noises. Typically these are things like; inner ear / auditory nerve damage, ear wax plug, blocked eustachian tube, otosclerosis, meniere’s disease, whiplash, head trauma, allergies, stress, noise-damaged hearing.

Your general practitioner will normally send you to a specialist who will carry out the necessary tests. Once your Tinnitus has been confirmed treatment can begin.

Typical mainstream drug-based treatments use antihistamines, anticonvulsants, antidepressants and cardiovascular drugs. Complimentary treatments such as meditation, acupuncture, hypnosis and yoga are also popular. And a Tinnitus specialist might also recommend tinnitus maskers, or hearing aids. Surgery is usually the last option and is used very rarely because it is so invasive.

But, so far, no proven medical cure for Tinnitus exists, so that 93% of Tinnitus victims never get total relief from their symptoms. Which is why so many sufferers are turning to completely natural Tinnitus therapies. Here are some ideas to get you started…

Remember that health issues can cause Tinnitus? The first thing to consider in any Tinnitus therapy is your central immune system. When this is working well you are much healthier, you have less disease, less infections, less allergies etc.

Make sure your diet has plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit so that you’re getting enough minerals and vitamins. Eat plain yogurt daily to help build-up the good bacteria in your gut. And many people swear by taking diluted raw apple cider vinegar daily too.

Stress is a large part of the Tinnitus vicious cycle. Stress can cause Tinnitus and you get stressed even more with Tinnitus. Help get rid of stress through exercise, e.g. going for long walks (especially with your dog), gentle running, swimming, etc. Also through listening to low relaxing music, indulging in a hobby, reading, etc.

And of course loud noises can cause Tinnitus. If you work in a noisy environment always wear ear protectors! Keep your TV and radio volumes down, just enough to hear. If you have to listen to anything through earphones, again, keep the volume as far down as you can. Remember that noise damage is a key cause of Tinnitus.

These are enough to get started on your natural Tinnitus therapy, but they are only the beginning. You need to do your own research on all the natural therapies out there and see which works for you, because everyone is different.

As an alternative, you could try out a proven home-based natural Tinnitus therapy with a much, much better success rate (80% against 7%) than normal medical treatments. This natural treatment program uses a number of proven techniques that you go through at home, or, in your place of work.

And it only takes a few minutes each day. All of the techniques have been proven during 2 years of research, testing and development, and, are being used by very many people around the world as we speak.

If you feel you can put-up with your Tinnitus as it is just now, then your Tinnitus probably isn’t so bad that you need to do anything else.
