Vertigo and dizziness are conditions I’ve written about on numerous occasions, and will continue to do so. While for some, these are occasional discomforts, for some the problems are so severe that the overall quality of life is threatened.
Another related topic many clients have inquired about it tinnitus. This too while sometimes fleeting, can also create constant day to day issues that affect a person’s lifestyle.
The word tinnitus is Latin for “ringing.” Subjective tinnitus is not heard by others but the sufferer perceives it in their ears, or head. Objective tinnitus while rare can sometimes be heard during an examination normally as the result of problems with the bones in the inner ear or blood vessel problems.
While some people do in fact hear a nonexistent “ring”, there are number of other sounds people hear. It’s been described by my own clients as well as others as “locusts” that won’t stop “buzzing.” Some describe the noise as clicks, beeps or other high pitched tunes.
Like vertigo, tinnitus is actually a symptom rather than a disease. It may present itself as a result of ear infection, fluid drain, injury, extreme external noise exposure or due to causes that simply cannot be identified.
Some people are more likely than others to develop tinnitus. It (like many ailments) is more common among older adults. Those who spend a great deal of time exposed to loud noises or if you’ve suffered hearing loss.
Tinnitus is problematic due to stress, concentrations problems, disturbed sleep and even memory loss people suffer as a result of this distressing noise.
Tinnitus is also often accompanied with vertigo or Meniere’s disease. Some sufferers explain that tinnitus increases just prior to a vertigo attack (in which the person perceives movement or spinning.)
Since an actual cause cannot always be determined, treatment of the tinnitus is in order. Some people who suffer from mild forms of tinnitus obtain relief through removal of ear wax. Others find that decreasing certain medications help alleviate the problem.
Adding certain noises to one’s sleep environment can also help at least to help promote more restful sleep. These would be “white noises” such as a fan or sounds of the ocean to help drown out the stressful tinnitus noise.
Certain medications are also prescribed for those with severe tinnitus, but they too tend to bring on other side effects including blurry vision, dependence, nausea and constipation.
A treatment that has been extremely effective is my Dizziness and Vertigo Program. It is completely natural and has shown phenomenal results whether you suffer from one condition or tinnitus, dizziness and vertigo combined.
