Tinnitus (pronounced /tɪˈnaɪtəs/ or /ˈtɪnɪtəs/, from the Latin word for "ringing") is the perception of sound in the human ear in the absence of corresponding external sound(s). Tinnitus is not a disease, just the ability to perceive sounds generated by the auditory (hearing) system, evidence of compensatory mechanisms that are part of its normal function. The problem is the distress created, not the type of sound.
Misophonia - dislike of environment sound(s). With or without tinnitus! Varies from 'chalk scratching on blackboard' to dislike of all sounds around you.
Phonophobia - fear of environmental sounds. Fear that they may damage hearing or make other symptoms worse...
Hyperacusis - over-amplification of environmental sounds in the auditory pathways. Everyday sounds seem too loud, but other people aren't complaining!

Exciting New Tinnitus Home Remedies

If you are not "lucky" enough to make your tinnitus by some kind of a treatable disease, then you are one of the nearly 50 million in the U.S., has tinnitus at some point in his or her life.

By now, you probably already know that there is not much your doctor can do for you, if some underlying disease was never found. Oh sure, he can give you some pills with ingredients Tocainid, carbamazepine or gabapentin in them. But all of them have no history of a long-term success for the reduction of tinnitus. There is also no scientific evidence that antidepressants, Transcranial magnetic stimulation or retraining therapy have a positive impact.

So, where is a tinnitus sufferer to the quest for liberation? It is possible that up to 10 million in the USA have tinnitus so severe that it disrupts their daily (and nightly) activities to the point that life is not only a lot of fun sometimes.

Tinnitus home remedies have begun to itself as the leading treatments for the symptoms of tinnitus - whooshing, whistling, roaring noises expect from your ear. I am not talking about vitamin pills masquerading tinnitus healing or other forms of quackery - I believe that although there is no cure for tinnitus, there are definitely ways that your tinnitus more bearable, and at least one non-critical part of your life. I will say a few here.

  • natural herbs and spices. Although the plant Ginkgo biloba, is probably one of the most over-used and over-hyped therapies for diseases from baldness inadequate sexual function, some non-scientific studies have shown that when the tinnitus suffering is of the opinion that the Ginkgo -biloba will help his symptoms, the symptoms often clear fall! A classic example of the power of suggestion! And do not forget, in addition to ginkgo biloba, some pill-artists claim that their mishmash of chelated zinc and deodorized garlic, if they have 3-4 months (at a price of nearly $ 175!) Will make a difference . Tinnitus home remedies come in all shapes and sizes - and prices!

  • Wow - the next home remedy for tinnitus is a doozy - read on. Vacha (Acorus calamus) oil can have a powerful effect in resting and balancing the Prana Vata (functions in the head-neck-chest region), which can cause tinnitus. A sesame oil, which is cooked the Calamus Root is in the nose, five drops per nostril, morning and evening. The sesame-oil mixture (Nasya) should be warmed to body temperature before use. As a child, my mother to the warm oil to body temperature with a syringe and fills my ears with an earache with hot oil for 15-20 minutes. This can not be healed the ear hurts, but it sure felt good - like the "Nasya" feel! That sounds like Tinnitus home remedies from India!

Well, sure, we ask you, the above ideas with a grain of salt, because there is absolutely no scientific evidence that either proposal is a benefit for tinnitus patients. In fact, it can do more harm than good if the herbs are used which are about - there is certainly evidence that ginkgo biloba can be harmful in high doses. But when it comes to tinnitus home remedies, always remember that if you think it can work for you, then there can be only a few relief organizations (regardless of whether there is a positive scientific evidence at all).
