The term “tinnitus” is Latin based and roughly translates to mean ringing or tinkling like a bell. This is a very apt term for a condition that is described as a persistent ringing noise in the ear. This article was designed to help you reduce the negative effects of this troublesome condition.
To just live a life free of tinnitus, always have background noise available. Keep a television or music player on. Run a fan. Focus your hearing on the air conditioning or refrigerator running. Tinnitus is funny in the way that if you do not hear it, it is not really happening.
A great way to try to get to sleep without being consumed by your tinnitus is to invest in a white-noise generator. Your brain will be focusing so much on the white noise that it will forget about the ringing in your ears. You may have to experiment with different sounds to ensure that you can focus strictly on those sounds.
Stick to a strict sleep schedule. Routine is the best medicine for tinnitus sufferers. Get up in the morning and go to bed at night at the same time each day, including holidays and weekends. This may seem redundant, but it is the key to avoid lying in bed at night awake.
If you have problems going to sleep due to your tinnitus, it’s important to go to bed when you’re dead tired. Laying in bed for 10 hours just to get 5 hours sleep is pointless, so figure out how much sleep you’re getting each night and go to bed with 30 minutes to spare.
Hypnotherapy
Most people who experience tinnitus find hypnotherapy very helpful. Sufferers who have nighttime tinnitus reported the most success with this technique. Hypnosis has had positive results with others, as well. A licensed counselor can perform the therapy, and hopefully, reduce the severity of your tinnitus.
As previously revealed, tinnitus is a Latin based word, which describes the ringing sensation that many tinnitus sufferers report. The constant noise causes discomfort because it can affect your attention span. Many people desperately seek relief from this condition. This article hopes to provide tips that bring relief to those who suffer with tinnitus.
