Tinnitus

Tinnitus is hearing a sound that is not actually present in the environment. It can be constant, intermittent, or occasional, in one or both ears. It can become intrusive and affect sleep, concentration, and quality of life.

Understanding and Soothing the Inner Noise

Tinnitus is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Hearing tinnitus means that something is happening somewhere in the human body. There are countless possible causes, and often several at once. A few examples:

  • Head or neck trauma, falls or impact
  • Exposure to high sound levels.
  • Medical conditions: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure.
  • Taking certain medications.
  • Certain types of hearing impairment.
  • Psychological state, stress, anxiety, fatigue, depression.
  • Lifestyle habits, consumption
  • Jaw, neck, shoulder problems.

Nothing can be done for tinnitus?

That’s false!

The priority is to regain control over tinnitus. First, it is essential to understand its possible causes and their interactions, in order to target appropriate interventions for each.

Sometimes, tinnitus disappears. In most cases, it remains, but the intensity of its disturbance significantly decreases. When the cause of tinnitus is understood, it can be better controlled.
