Tinnitus

IF YOU SUFFER FROM TINNITUS (RINGING IN YOUR EARS) YOU MAY BE A CANDIDATE FOR A NEW TREATMENT.

Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head when no actual sound is present. The word "tinnitus" derives from Latin and means "to tinkle or to ring like a bell." For some, tinnitus may be intermittent and mildly distracting but for many the sound is continuous, 24 hours a day, and causes great discomfort.

Consider these questions:

• Does my tinnitus interfere with my sleep?
• Does my tinnitus make it hard for me to relax?
• Does my tinnitus lead me to avoid noisy situations?
• Does my tinnitus make it hard for me to concentrate?
• Does my tinnitus "drive me crazy"?

Tinnitus affects 20% of the US population; with 1-2% of these people severely affected. When tinnitus is severe, the results can be devastating – its interference with sleep and concentration causes stress and interferes with work and relationships, often leading sufferers to a desperate feeling of loss of control over their lives putting a severe restriction on the tinnitus sufferers quality of life. In many cases an individual’s work performance may be affected and could lead to the abnormal use of leave-time or sick days as well as motivation and productivity in the workplace.
