How Can I Stop Tinnitus

How can I stop tinnitus is a question that could be asked by around 50 million Americans alone. Find the answer at Tinnitus Banished. Tinnitus is caused by a variety of things but all tinnitus sufferers have hearing damage. Conversely not all people who have hearing damage have hearing loss. Why is this so?

This is because you need to be suffering from some hearing loss to get tinnitus, but there are also a number of other "co-factors" to be involved. These are usually the factors in your lifestyle that aggravate your tinnitus.

It follows then that if you can identify these other factors and eliminate them you can stop your tinnitus.

Stop Tinnitus Or Cope With It?

You will find that most treatments are actually coping mechanisms. The most famous of all of these is something called Tinnitus Retraining Therapy or TRT.

The background theory to this method is basically that tinnitus is incurable (something that many strongly disagree with) and that your tinnitus only becomes bad when you exaggerate it in your mind.

With the aid of TRT which involves counselling and use of "noise generators", you can reprogram your mind so that the symptoms do not hassle you as much and they are put to the back of your mind.

There's no doubt that TRT and other coping mechanisms do help people. But they don't actually stop tinnitus.

Can Drugs Stop Tinnitus

In short no!
There is no drug to stop or cure tinnitus. Though no doubt the pharmaceutical industry thinks otherwise. They think everything can be "cured" with drugs.

Natural Cures To Stop Tinnitus

There may not be any drug cures for tinnitus but there are natural ones.

The premise of these is as follows: tinnitus is caused by a variety of things but all tinnitus sufferers have hearing damage. But all people who have hearing damage do not conversely all have hearing loss.

The reason is that although you need hearing loss to get tinnitus, you also need a number of other "co-factors" to be involved. These are usually the result of your lifestyle e.g. eating foods that aggravate your tinnitus.

By eliminating the co-factors one by one you can get a stepped reduction in your tinnitus symptoms until eventually the tinnitus disappears altogether.
