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!

0 comments

It's hard to learn to cope with the tinnitus, but the most important thing to recognize is that you are not alone and that there are things you can do to with her. Some people have suffered from tinnitus alone so long that they have hope. You may think there is no other option for them. Our goal is to give people hope and a way we are doing this by people that they are not alone and by teaching them how to deal with their tinnitus symptoms.

Here are 5 tips for dealing with tinnitus:



  1. know that you are not alone. One of the biggest problems for many tinnitus patients feel they are alone and that nobody else understands what they are.


  2. There are treatment options available. Many people have said, it's all in her head, or that there is nothing that can be done, and it is not true. If you learn and accept the fact that there are treatment options available, see new hope with your condition.


  3. Take it day by day. You can not worry about what happened yesterday or how bad your tinnitus symptoms can be tomorrow. Instead, concentrate on only one day at a time, and what you can do today to make your symptoms.


  4. not make it worse. You may already know that tinnitus can be from things in your life, such as loud noise or certain medicines you are taking. Take time to find out about these things and do nothing to make it worse.


  5. sleep in a dark room with white noise in the background. Make sure that you sleep in a dark room without light and make sure you have background noise such as white noise to mask the sounds of tinnitus, so you can correct the sleep you need in the night.

Now you have these 5 steps to cope with the tinnitus, you can begin a new journey in life, where your tinnitus is not your life or your day.
