Visualize yourself in a quiet, peaceful place such as the mountains where the only noise you hear is a slight wind ruffling the leaves on the trees.
Now imagine never having any peace anywhere or at any time because of ringing or buzzing in the ears.
Everyone has experienced a ringing in the ears at one time or another.
How would it be if the ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming were constant and never ended? Before I share with you what has helped me with my buzzing in the ears, let's talk about these sounds.
Most people with Tinnitus have a sound they hear that is unique to them and probably is caused by a unique reason It may be sounds they've heard or been exposed to that have injured their ears.
It could have been a blow to the ear at one time in their life.
In many cases their doesn't seem to be a good reason at all for tinnitus.
If you don't suffer from Tinnitus you may know someone who does and its hard to understand the extent of their pain.
There are sites on the web where you can play different sounds that Tinnitus sufferers experience and that will give you some idea of what these people go through every hour of every day.
Often, many people with Tinnitus hear more than just one sound and these noises can change.
Stress and noise can definitely change the pitch of the sounds and then the malady is even worse.
Tinnitus can be masked which is helpful in many cases.
When my Tinnitus started I used ear plugs at night and if I slept on my worst ear just right, the sounds weren't as strong.
However after a while when the problem became worse, that didn't work.
I also got software that enabled me to create different background sounds that relaxed me and helped to mask the problem.
I love the mountains so created sounds that would be typical mountain noises.
I don't mean chainsaws.
Sleep is a major concern for Tinnitus sufferers.
Lack of sleep is one of the contributors making Tinnitus worse.
The worse the condition gets the less sleep you get so the problem can loop totally out of control.
Relaxation techniques have helped me get a decent night's sleep.
Deep breathing and visualization are part of those techniques.
I've found that a combination of masking programs, relaxation, a change in diet and other natural remedies have helped my problem.
There is no one cure that seems to work for everyone when it comes to buzzing in the ears.
