Tinnitus: Some strategies to prevent and reduce the severity of symptoms

Tinnitus affects nearly 15% of the population, and sufferers are getting younger. Although there is no cure, there are some treatments that may reduce your symptoms. Dr. Joseph Mercola gives some strategies that may help reduce the severity of your symptoms if you have tinnitus. He also gives others that may help prevent the problem.

Tinnitus is the perception of sound when there is no external sound present. Others can’t hear what you’re hearing, and it’s often referred to as “ringing in the ears.”

That is the dreaded Hum – a very invasive low-frequency sound that has been likened to the soft droning hum of a refrigerator, a noise similar to an idling diesel engine in the distance, and sometimes it has also been compared to the sound produced by a tuning fork.

Not everyone can hear the Hum, but some people are very perceptive regarding this nuisance noise, which causes those who hear it to become irritable and depressed, and at night the baffling sound causes chronic insomnia....<<<Read More>>>...
