Are their effective treatments for tinnitus? This can sound hard to believe when your doctor tells you that it is "incurable" and no way to reverse it and all he or she tells you to do is to try sleeping with the television on or some other similar "masking" strategy.
So what can you do? What real options are available? Before Treatment, Understand The Co-Factors Tinnitus occurs in only some people who have hearing damage (you may not even realise you have hearing damage but it is a prerequisite for all sufferers).
So why is it that only some get full-blown tinnitus and others don't get anything.
The reason is due to co-factors.
Usually more than one co-factor acts together in unison to allow you to develop tinnitus.
This can range from what you eat (natural or artificial), your state of mind, environmental pollutants and conditions, drugs you are taking and more.
So you now know what role the co-factors have.
So how can you use this new knowledge to cure yourself? Elimination, One By One There is no magic pill to cure tinnitus.
However, you can eliminate it by adopting a focussed and disciplined strategy.
Start with the most common aggravating co-factors (e.
g.
drugs).
Eliminate a single co-factor at a time (or modify it, in the case of drugs) and see how your symptoms vary for a week or two.
Does the intensity of your tinnitus change? What about the "quality"? Do you still have buzzing or ringing or has it changed into something else? If you experience a change then you have identified a significant co-factor for your own particular genetic makeup.
If there is no change then it is likely that this particular co-factor does not affect you.
One by one you need to analyse each co-factor.
As you are starting with the most common ones then you should get most of your relief fairly quickly.
Elimination of the more rare co-factors will give you limited returns (only a minority may be affected by them) and that is why they should be left till last.
