Perhaps the most frustrating things for tinnitus sufferers are the lack of effective cures or treatments for their tinnitus. Patients are often told by their doctors that short of prescription drugs that do little more than help them cope with the psychological results of tinnitus and surgeries that have very limited success there is nothing they can do to cure the constant ringing, buzzing and clicking that never goes away even when they try to sleep. Fortunately there are a number of researchers that are hard at work to cure tinnitus and are encouraged by the research they have done.

Tinnitus Research that has Been Conducted thus Far

To organize worldwide research on this growing problem researchers have created a roadmap that contains a 4 path approach targeted at finding the answers to important questions about Tinnitus. Every research project that is being conducted finds its way to somewhere on this roadmap.

Path A – These studies are conducted to find out where tinnitus actually starts in the brain. Many researchers believe that tinnitus starts in signals that are either not reaching the brain or are being misread by the brain so studies are being done to target where the problem takes place, whether tinnitus changes the brain in any way and finding ways to measure the intensity of tinnitus by using EEGs and MRIs.

Path B – This set of studies focuses on what causes tinnitus, and the specific mechanism by which tinnitus starts. The object is to identify the malfunctioning processes and what exactly causes them to malfunction. Most of the studies in this group focus on the ear and the brain, by zeroing in on the effects of sound waves on the ear and the nerves leading to the ear as well as measuring abnormal activity in the auditory cortex of the brain that is believed to be the area where tinnitus originates.

Path C - This path focuses on specific therapies for tinnitus in an effort to find therapies that are effective and safe for the tinnitus sufferer. Most researchers believe that tinnitus originates with a malfunction in the brain, more specifically with abnormal activity in specific areas of the brain that are responsible for processing sound. Various studies have found that things such as high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), electrical stimulation and music or white sounds are effective in suppressing tinnitus.

In addition Tinnitus retraining therapy is showing promise as a potential suppression technique or cure. What researchers have found is that tinnitus is a learned behavior on the part of the brain for many sufferers and that this behavior can be unlearned. With the use of directive counseling and wearable noise generators researchers have had an 80% success rate. This study has a long way to go yet and still must face a controlled study but has produced a lot of excitement in the field of tinnitus studies.

Path D – This path focuses on a hands on approach of customizing therapies for sufferers that really work. Researchers are hard at work to cure tinnitus by focusing on finding therapies that show promise or do work including examining alternative therapies, psychotherapy, cognitive therapy and self help methods found in books and on the Internet. The general consensus thus far is that many of these methods show promise in helping to retrain the brain and assisting the sufferer to take control of and overcome the ringing in their ears, particularly when used with each other as part of a whole approach.

For those that have felt the desperation and depression of never having a quiet moment or getting a good night’s sleep, there is the need to spend their hard earned money on just about any tinnitus products on the market in the effort to find one that will even lessen the ringing in their ears temporarily. As many tinnitus sufferers already know many of these products do not work or even worse are scams designed to take money from those who are desperate for relief.

Not all Products Can Work for Everybody

The problem with legitimate tinnitus products is that tinnitus has many different causes and often those causes can compound each other, meaning that either the product may work for one person and not another, or it may not work because there is another underlying problem that needs to be addressed. Sadly the only way a person can know this is to try the product, often resulting in the tinnitus sufferer spending hundreds of dollars in machines and herbal supplements in an attempt to cure the ringing in their ears.

Some tinnitus products do help with the ringing in the ears for certain people and the only real way to decide whether to purchase individual tinnitus products is for the tinnitus sufferer to do a bit of research. It is important to have some understanding of what might be causing your tinnitus problem, or at the very least what aggravates your condition the most. This will help you to pinpoint products that may be the most suitable for you as well as those that may only aggravate your condition.

Different Tinnitus Products do Different Things

Tinnitus maskers or white noise machines and CDs are one of the most popular products available for tinnitus. They work by masking the ringing sound and thereby providing a distraction for the tinnitus sufferer. Maskers work very well for many people and are most often used to get some much needed sleep at night.

White noise does not work for everyone however and for some people the presence of any noise can set off even worse ringing in the ears. One way to find out if white noise will work for you is to set your radio to a spot between stations where you can only hear static or turn on a fan if either of these help your tinnitus at all, a masker and headphones may help you sleep better at night.

There is a wide range herbal remedies and vitamins on the market that claim to help with tinnitus as well. Some herbal remedies are questionable at best and it is extremely important that you do your research before hand to make sure that the ingredients are not only safe but that they have anything to do with tinnitus. Some vitamins and herbal remedies have been shown to help tinnitus sufferers, with ginkgo biloba being the one of the most well know and effective of these.

Whether you choose to try one of the many tinnitus products on the market or not, keep in mind that for most people who find a cure for their tinnitus, the solution lies in listening to their body and trying a variety of different solutions focused at addressing the underlying cause. In doing this they focus on healing the body and curing their tinnitus for good rather than masking the noise or treating the symptoms.

There are numerous causes for tinnitus, and one culprit which is the most common (and least understood by the common public) are pharmaceutical drugs. Yes, you may be having tinnitus as a result of the drugs that you are taking.

Medicine is, in nature, systemic. This means that in its course of trying to fix your body’s problem, because it cannot laser target a specific problem or body part, the drug affects the entire body. Which results to the most commonly heard word that goes along with medication – side effects. Yes, side effects are true and they come in various forms, and one of them is tinnitus. Even drugs that are mild and are not known to cause side effects may also cause tinnitus.

NSAIDS. NSAIDS or Non – steroidal anti – inflammatory drugs are perhaps the worst classes of drugs. This is partly also because it is the most commonly taken, and the most accessible. NSAIDS are drugs that help     reduce inflammation and pain, and are usually taken for colds and headaches. Aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen are examples of these drugs, and can easily be bought over the counter.

These drugs are very notorious for causing hearing loss and tinnitus. The cause is not quite clear, but this is probably because these drugs have anti - platelet properties. More so, aspirin is a drug derived from salicylates and salicylic acid, and these chemicals are notorious for causing hearing problems and tinnitus.
 
Other Culprits. Aside from the notorious NSAIDs, other drugs which can cause or worsen tinnitus are:

-        sedatives
-        antibiotics
-        cancer medications
-        antidepressants
-        antihistamines

These wide range of drugs make up most of the drugs that cause  tinnitus, but there are still more out there. So, now, you may wonder – what should you do?

• Make a switch. Of course, you don’t have to suffer in pain just because you can’t drink aspirin when you have a headache. You do not have to rely on NSAIDs for pain relief as there are better alternatives like paracetamol (acetaminophen).
• Monitor your symptoms. If you already have tinnitus and if you have to drink medicine, monitor the symptoms after each drug that you take. Try to see if they reduce or worsen.
• Read the labels. Make it a point to read that small bit of paper that comes with your medicine. Take a look at the possible side-effects and check to see if tinnitus is one.
• Know your drug. Familiarize yourself with the medication that you are taking. Read up on your medication, and check to see if it is one among the drugs mentioned above.
• Speak to your doctor. Always consult your doctor and speak to him about the possibilities of using an alternative drug. You can also consider homeopathic methods and therapies for your medical problems.

Now this is only touching on the subject lightly, but frankly, there are a TON of things you can do to reduce and even cure your tinnitus. If your tinnitus is driving you insane or you’re worried about it getting worse then worry not. There is hope. It’s all about identifying what it is that effects YOU and then trying alternatives to avoid these things that cause your tinnitus.

What is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is an inherent noise that is heard in either ear and, in some cases, in both. Other people describe the noise as being experienced inside their heads but are unable to specifically pinpoint its location. Sufferers have described the noise of tinnitus as a whistling, buzzing, ringing or humming sound that can be of low, medium or high-pitched frequency. The noise is often described as being continuous although other people experience intermittent noises that come and go. Other sufferers experience the noise as two separate entities, each at a different and variable pitch.

Natural Remedies

Many sufferers swear by natural herbs and vitamins, with zinc tablets and ginkgo being particularly popular. Other relief is obtained to a greater or lesser extend with molasses and vinegar; magnesium; and baking soda. However, these only tend to provide relief for some of the lesser symptoms of tinnitus. For those individuals who suffer the most intense noise, there has often been little available to provide relief – until now, that is. The Tinnitus Miracle is a program that is advertised as providing profound relief to even the most severe sufferers, most of whom report a distinct improvement within 2 weeks of following the program.

Who Can Get Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is a symptom that occurs as a result of an individual’s auditory pathways but, despite studies into its causes, not definitive answer has yet been found. It has been established that, in the majority of cases, tinnitus is not caused by illness or any disease and, while some people develop it as the result of being exposed to loud noises over a period of time, this is only one contributing factor and there are doubtless many more.

Despite misconceptions about tinnitus occurring mainly in the elderly, it can occur at any age and affects individuals of every age. In fact, it has been estimated that 10% of the population suffer from it continuously, from which 1% find their quality of life is detrimentally affected. Statistics suggest that around 12.2 million people in the US suffer from tinnitus of varying degrees: around 4.5% of the population.

What Can be done to Help?

All sorts of remedies have been tried, depending on the level of suffering. Nothing really seems to have been able to alleviate it completely, however. Studies reveal some relief can be obtained from Amitripxyline and Nortriptyline; Gabapentin and Acamprosate have also been shown to work to a greater or lesser extent – as has Baclofen and the Benzodiazepines. For sufferers who experience a lower degree of noise interference the best way to deal with the problem is to make use of ‘white noise’: some of these CDs which play natural sounds of waves swishing onto the shore, rain falling or the watery sounds of rivers all seem to be a move in the right direction.

The Tinnitus Miracle

While I am in no way associated with the Tinnitus Miracle – I’m not even an Affiliate – I have carried out extensive research into the pros and cons of this product. I can, without doubt, recommend the Tinnitus Miracle as a sound and effective product – as long as the sufferers follow the instructions contained within. There is no point in purchasing the program and then not doing anything about it. To make a difference to your life, you have to make some sort of an effort and the Tinnitus Miracle is advocating lifestyle changes which do take an effort to put into practice. Now, for those sufferers who experience such profound tinnitus that their whole way of life is affected, surely it is better to follow the instructions in the Tinnitus Miracle and get back some semblance of quality in your life?

What is the Tinnitus Miracle?

Basically, it is an e-book providing 250 pages of well-researched information that took Thomas Coleman more than 12 years to find. The information contains advice on nutrition – what foods to eat for optimum tinnitus health, and what foods to avoid as they are likely to contribute to the problems of the tinnitus. There is advice on holistic therapies that have been shown to help, advice on nutritional supplements and on herbs and vitamins such as ginkgo, zinc, bicarbonate of soda plus other very sound advice.

As a nutritionist myself I would strongly recommend any tinnitus sufferer to get the Tinnitus Miracle for themselves and read it through with an open mind before applying the information garnered within the 250 pages of the Guide. The Tinnitus Miracle is good stuff – and hats off to Thomas Coleman for the amount of time he spent researching and compiling it.

There are many diseases that are potentially fatal, which can cause extreme agony to patients, often leading them to thoughts of self-destruction. Tinnitus, however, is not potentially life-threatening, yet its oppressive nature can have the same effects on the affected persons. Tinnitus causes high degrees of trauma to the patients, causing great torment to the latter. The disease does not hamper the normal functioning of the body, nor does it damage any of the major body organs. However, the constant tingling sensation that it produces all round the clock, for days and months on end, is enough to drive any person out of his/her mind. Patients cannot hope for a relief from these disturbing sensations either.

The world of medicine has come up with different ways to treat tinnitus problems. However, in most cases, these treatment regimes have only short-lived effects, and treat only the symptoms of the disease, rather than the problem-creating factors. As such, the tinnitus problems can resurface as soon as the medications are withdrawn. Alternatively, complex surgeries can also be performed to cure tinnitus. However, it has been proven beyond doubt that, treatment procedures that identify the root causes of the disease, and then treat them exclusively and on a consistent basis, are likely to be most successful. However, this fact is not often considered by the conventional methods of treating tinnitus. These methods go on using vitamins minerals and medicines that have very little relation to the actual problem. These medications often come with adverse side effects as well. Hypnosis is also resorted to as a final option, while biofeedback and tinnitus masking devices are also used for treatment.

However, we should ideally take a tour through the various alternative medications prescribed by the conventional techniques. This would facilitate the formation of definite views on these treatment methods.

Remedies for Objective Tinnitus Problems

o Palatal tremor treatments, using Botulinum toxin,
o Treatment via Arterial anatomic variation, by applying Clonazepam or Propranolol,
o Glomus Jugulare treatment, by radiosurgery techniques (using Gamma knife),
o Implantation by Teflon, so that the cochlea of the ear is protected, and
o Keeping the ear canal clean and free of obstructions.

Remedies for Subjective Tinnitus Problems

o Nutritional products/Medicines/Useful supplements

o Ginkgo Biloba, and its different types,
o Injecting Lidocaine in the inner parts of the ear can provide relief (for approximately 20 minutes),
o Using small quantities of Tricyclics, including Amitriptyline, Notriptyline and such products,
o Supplements of zinc may also work, particularly of there is serum zinc deficiency.
o Ostosclerosis treatment, by application of sodium fluoride or Etidronate,
o Acamprostrate techniques,
o Lignocaine medications, especially for those who can respond to white noise treatments,
o Carbazepine medications,
o Melatonin drugs, for those who have problems in having sleep,
o Setraline based medicines, and
o Supplements rich in vitamins, like Lipoflavonoid.

N.B.: Most of the above treatments come with minor to serious adverse side effects.

o Treatments based on electricity, to eliminate the ringing sensations

o Stimulation techniques (using Transcranial direct currents and/or Transcranial magnetic methods),
o Stimulating the nerves by transcutaneous electric-based techniques,
o The auditory cortex can be directly stimulated by putting in electrodes, and
o The German nerve expert, Berthold Langguth, recommends the setting up of electrical or magnetic fields on the head of the patients. This can reduce the intensity of the ringing sounds of tinnitus. The British nerve surgeon, Dirk De Ridder, also favors the implantation, within the patients’ brain, of electrodes, so that the neurons can be rendered inactive.

o Repairing the Perilymph Fistula by performing surgery. This can help to put a stop to the ringing noises associated with tinnitus.

o Making use of peripheral noises to overcome the ringing sounds

o Stimulating the Auditory nerves by therapy, by using musical sounds,
o Producing white noises or filtered sounds, by using Tinnitus Maskers,
o Stimulation via external acoustic techniques, so that ultrasonic bone conduction may be carried out,
o Therapies to retrain Tinnitus, and
o Applying hearing aid, so that all lost frequencies can be recovered.

o Blocking out the ringing sounds by Psychosomatic treatment methods

This is also known as cognitive behavioral therapeutic treatment.

Therapeutic methods using light can also be used to treat tinnitus problems. The technique uses low level laser methods, and is also called Photobiomodulation.

The medical world has been pretty exhaustive in its attempts to find an effective cure to tinnitus problems. This is evident by the list of medicines, injections, surgeries and therapies that have been listed above. However, the objective of discovering a lasting solution to the problem is yet to be fulfilled. The key for finding an effective cure to the problem is to try and find the main causes of the disease.

Producing saleable medicines is the chief aim of the large medical firms and they carry out extensive research for this purpose. However, they do not accord due importance to the general benefits of medicines to the patients, putting more emphasis on the economic benefits of production. Such a narrow purview results in producing medications that are far from comprehensive, treating only the symptoms, and not the reasons, of the disease.

A group of modern, sophisticated medical practitioners have, fortunately, burst on the scene, in the last few years. These doctors keep an uncluttered mind while treating tinnitus, and generally prescribe holistic ways of treatment. These methods put the entire emphasis on the identification and elimination of the causes of the noise-creating problem. The symptoms of the disease are not considered to be important.

These new-age doctors have revolutionized the entire treatment methods, and have also discarded older medical theories. The doctors earlier tended to think that one of the three following reasons caused tinnitus problems:

o A person being under tension and/or anxiety,
o Complications and problems in a person’s sinus, and
o Problems in the internal parts of the ear (Cochlear regions).

The medical experts that champion the cause of holistic approaches to treatment are of the opinion that the above three factors tend to combine with each other, resulting in tinnitus problems. According to them, the causes of the disease are plenty, and each of them has to be detected and removed. This alone can provide an effective and lasting cure for tinnitus. If the causes of the disease are not treated and medications are provided only for the symptoms of the problem (as is the case with conventional treatments), a permanent solution can never be obtained.

The first thing you must do in order to cure your tinnitus is to pinpoint any actions that seem to trigger your tinnitus. It may seem like your tinnitus comes on by its own will, but think about it little longer. Have you been exposed to loud music? Have you been undergoing significant amounts of stress?

Also, it’s very important that you pay close attention to the foods that you eat. While foods in and of themselves will not necessarily trigger tinnitus directly, they can have an indirect part in your suffering. For example, salt causes high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a common culprit for tinnitus. Thus, a logical line can be drawn from salt to tinnitus.

The same goes for dairy products. Dairy products can many times give people sinus problems. Sinus problems can often lead to tinnitus. Thus, dairy products can cause to tinnitus. You get the idea. Be careful of what you eat, and if you notice that you seem to get a particularly intense bout of tinnitus after eating a specific food, cut that out of your diet.

One of the most well known methods in treating Tinnitus is called the Tinnitus Retraining Therapy or TRT. It was first developed by a neurophysiologist named Pawel Jastrelboff and an otolaryngolotogist names JWP Hazell in the late 1980′s. It is a form of habituation therapy especially designed to help people who suffer from the Tinnitus condition.

So in this article, you are going to discover how TRT works and the two methods being used including Neurophysiologic Model and Rationale for TRT. At the end of this article, you will also discover how are the Tinnitus patients are being categorized and that time, you will be able to know more that TRT.

Let’s start with the Neurophysiologic model. This model suggests that the treatment of Tinnitus should focus mainly on the limbic and autonomic nervous systems. The attention should be given then to the Tinnitus sensation itself.

In the scientific term, neural signals are very important because they are they indicator to the brain when it comes to interpreting the meaning. Different types of sounds may bring in different meanings to many people. For example, if you and your friend heard a loud noise coming from the behind, you may perceive it was an action of thief and your friend may perceive something just fell off from the backyard.

When it comes to TRT, it has got a lot to deal with the emotional reaction and some sound do come and attach with emotional reaction. If a person’s Tinnitus is attached with an emotional response, any similar response in the future is likely to be activated when he hears a certain type of sound associated with whatever meaning it gives.

Now, the brain also plays a very big part in TRT because it must determine which of the environmental sounds will receive the person’s attention. The neural signals that come with pertinent auditory data are transmitted to the auditory cortex. However, the signals that are of lesser importance will be terminated before it reaches the consciousness of the patient. This process will take longer because it can only be done with habituation.

This is why, the neurophysiologic model proposes that it is not the ringing noise itself that brings problem to a person’s life but it has got so much to do with the auditory signal that has been conditioned to cause activation of the limbic or autonomic nervous system. The signal must go through a certain procedures in order for it to be processed differently as an unimportant signal. Therefore, TRT is meant to retrain the brain to habituate to the tinnitus signal that is or will be given to the patient himself.

The next model being discussed here is the rationale for TRT. The goal for this method aims to encourage patients to do habituation so that their Tinnitus condition may be treated. There are actually 2 strategies when it comes to rationale for TRT.

The first strategy can be implemented with the help of directive counseling which consists of a structured education program that teaches the patient to eliminate or at least a decrease in the annoying ringing noise in the ears. These teaching materials are meant to take away the fear or any negative perception attached with the patient’s mind.

The second strategy is an complementary treatment to the first strategy and this will only be implemented only when the first strategy is successful. The goal here aims to remove Tinnitus from the person’s conscious perception and the only way to do this is through the use of audio therapy. During the audio therapy, a constant low levels of background sound will be used to reduce the detectability of Tinnitus at the subconscious level. When this is achieved, the patient will be free from Tinnitus for a year or two.

Both strategies are equally effective when it comes to TRT. However, it should be taken into consideration that not every Tinnitus patient shall be encouraged to use TRT. In the rest of the article, you will find out the different types of categories of Tinnitus patients and only patients with more severe condition needs to be treated accordingly.

The first patient category is the number 0 category. This group of Tinnitus patients whose condition have really minimal problem and weak.They do not have significant hearing loss or hyperacusis and the condition has only been discovered less than 2 months. So in order to treat this group of patients, basic directive counseling and sound therapy without the need for wearable sound generators or hearing aids will be needed. There is no need for a lot of follow ups.

The second group of patient belong to category 1. To these patients, Tinnitus has been a significant problem but so far, they have not experienced significant hearing loss just yet. Directive counseling and audio therapy which includes tabletop sound machine and a wearable sound generator which is set at ‘mixing’ or blending point will be needed to do the TRT treatment.

The third group is the category 2 group. People from this group suffers a significant subjective hearing loss and Tinnitus problem, without hyperacurasis nor prolonged worsening of symptoms after sound exposure. Like category 0 and 1, directive counseling will be needed plus a combination instruments of hearing aids and sound generator.

The fourth group belong to the category 3 and these people are experiencing serious hyperacusis. Up to this point, Tinnitus and hearing difficulties have already become irrelevant to them. They even have the prolonged worsening of Tinnitus or hyperacusis.
