Tips for Managing Tinnitus
The American Tinnitus Association is a reputable, non-profit organization that advocates for tinnitus sufferers. A great deal of internet resources on the subject of tinnitus are written by individuals with a commercial interest in tinnitus treatment (such as this blog, for example), and as such, are not a perfectly neutral resource. I’ve lost count of how many links emphasize the keywords “natural tinnitus cure,” as if there was some plant extract that could magically rewire the errant neurons in our auditory cortex. In contrast, the ATA has compiled an excellent list of realistic tips for managing tinnitus that I’d like to share with you here.
If I were to emphasize anything, it’s the importance of hope. The utility of hope cannot be understated. It will get you through dark times. One day, science will find a total cure. In the mean time, there are effective treatments and, even for individuals who are not able to effectively treat their tinnitus, there are effective coping strategies that will help you improve your quality of life.
Cheers,
