Top five Tinnitus Tips: How to get                rid of Tinnitus suffering

Top five tinnitus tips: How to get rid of tinnitus. My top five tinnitus tips deal with the practical, real life aspects of this subjective condition. Let me state right off the bat that there is no official “CURE” for tinnitus and anything that makes such a bold claim should be approached with a healthy amount of skepticism and trepidation!

If there really was such a quick fix cure there wouldn’t be almost 500 million people suffering from this affliction. And pharmaceutical companies would have monopolized and sewn up the market! (Plus your doctor would be pushing the drug!)

So, you might be asking, why is there no such thing as a “one size fits all quick fix cure?”

Well, tinnitus is a symptom caused potentially by a myriad of conditions and not a stand-alone disease. For a more in depth description on what is tinnitus and what are its causes see my post “what is tinnitus” at (insert)

So if there is no quick fix cure for tinnitus, the question people with tinnitus really should be asking is, “how do I get rid of tinnitus suffering?”

The reality is, Just because you have tinnitus, does not mean you have to “SUFFER” from Tinnitus, no, quite the contrary. You, see the number of people who are afflicted by tinnitus is staggering. But the number of people who actually SUFFER from tinnitus is actually quite a lot smaller.

So, here in lies the question, why do some people with tinnitus carry on a normal productive life blissfully unaware of their tinnitus whilst others are simply consumed by the noise in their ears. What is the difference between the two of them? And before you say “mine is louder” studies show that in actual fact it has nothing to do with the pitch, volume, type or intensity between the two afflicted persons with tinnitus. Rather it has everything to do with the individual’s perception of the noise. And this comes down to our own personal nervous system responses to the stimuli.

So, the real secret to getting rid of tinnitus and ending your SUFFERING is “How do I change my response?” Although it isn’t easy changing ones ingrained habits and personality predispositions, it’s easier than you may think and there are some simple steps, exercises and methods, which if adhered to with discipline and patience will garner tremendous results. https://www.tinnitusretrain.com/listening-beyond/

But for now lets just skim the surface and find some things which you can apply TODAY which will help you on your journey towards eradicating your tinnitus suffering.

Number 1: Masking

Tinnitus masking for a good night sleep

Although not a solution for eliminating your tinnitus suffering, masking provides a needed rest bite, especially if your tinnitus is effecting your sleep or causing anxiety and or depression. Any opportunity to recuperate, calm the nerves and rebuild energy and strength will be needed if you embark on a tinnitus-retraining program. Although the end goal is to not rely on masking I do recommend masking initially during sleep to help you build needed energy reserves. You cannot do any other rebuilding work if you are stressed, frazzled and exhausted. It’s of vital importance to make sure you have energy, enthusiasm, patience and are relatively stress free and there’s no better solution than a good night of sleep.

Number 2: Mindfulness

Mindfulness techniques help habitualize tinnitus

What is mindfulness? Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present. When you’re mindful, you observe your thoughts and feelings towards tinnitus from a distance, without judging them as good or bad.

The first step in any rehabilitation process whether for the mind or the body is accepting ones state, ability, disability and where you currently stand with it.

Denial only strengthens what you’re trying to ignore and acceptance brings it into the light, where you can see it for what it is.

So how do we successfully and therapeutically become mindful towards our tinnitus in our everyday lives?

For a start daily journaling is always a good method for bringing what is in the subconscious mind out into the real world. Next Meditation and or Mindful walking help bring awareness to the subtlties of our body sensations, thoughts and feelings surrounding tinnitus and or our ear condition. These are three of the quickest, easiest ways to benefit from mindfulness.

Number 3: Rest and Exercise

Rest and Exercise make a real difference when dealing with tinnitus

Yes, although both are opposing, rest and exercise go hand in hand. First off rest is the most underestimated and number one vital component towards true health. The benefits of daily adequate rest are unsupassed. Physical health, mental health, healing potential, attitude and quality of life are all determined by our quality of rest. Most people living in the western world these days are sleep deprived and not operating at an optimum level due to inadequate rest. If you could only change one thing in your life for drastic health improvements, let it be rest. Sleep deprivation exasperates a great deal of conditions, not to mention tinnitus. This ties in to my advice on masking devices. If it helps you get a good night sleep, then it’s worth it!

Exercise also has a profoundly beneficial physiological effect on the body. From reducing inflammation, decreasing cortisol level, invigorating our nervous system, balancing hormones and boosting, stimulating our immune system.

You don’t have to become a marathon runner or a gym rat to benefit from exercise. Even moderate but purposeful walking such as the daily mindful walking programs in the tinnitus retrain system will have an amazing affect on your entire body and mind. One of the major byproducts and benefits of exercise is of course its ability to prime the mind and body for quality rest in the form of deep sleep.

Number 4: Nutrition

A healthy Diet is essential in order to get rid of tinnitus

Like adequate sleep, quality fuel is the next ingredient towards eventually bypassing your tinnitus.

I have a very comprehensive module on diet for the tinnitus/Meniere’s disease sufferer in the tinnitus retrain system.

But in a nutshell, you want to make sure that you’re avoiding all processed foods and keeping your diet as natural as possible. I’m not going to tell you to avoid coffee either! That’s right, good quality coffee in moderate quantities actually has some positive effects on mood, energy and brain function aiding in focus, concentration and tolerance levels. But, and here’s the problem, it’s all about balance, too much and it will increase hormones like adrenaline and blood pressure, heightening awareness and agitation. So, experiment, find the balance and as with all things stick with quality.

Number 5: Controlled Exposure

Get rid of tinnitus using controlled exposure techniques

Psychologists and therapists have known the power of controlled exposure and rewiring techniques for years. It’s been stated by Doctors of psychology and researchers as pretty much the ONLY sure fire, fool proof and practical way of over coming your Tinnitus suffering, as tinnitus is a subjective condition only YOU can change the way YOU respond.

Controlled exposure techniques like mindfulness gradually take the anxiety and fear out of the condition. An analogy would be like how we build immunity to a pathogen by gradual exposure.

Exposure and mindfulness techniques practiced overtime become the pathway for the mind to eventually rewire and bypass your conditioned response to tinnitus and truly get rid of tinnitus.

By following these simple techniques you can begin to open up your mind to a new way of approaching not just tinnitus, but a myriad of subjective conditions.
