Coping with Tinnitus: 10 Secret Tips Taming the Terrible Tinnitus William Shatner, actor of "Star Trek" fame, once openly admitted that he had considered committing suicide because of his chronic tinnitus. if you go to the Internet AND Google "Tinnitus" OR "Tinnitus remedies," a slew of sponsored ads, all claiming to cure this condition, will immediately appear on the right side of your seach results page. Might this observation not make you realize that scores of people suffer from tinnitus, AND are searching desperately for a product that will end their daily torment? Chronic tinnitus is defined in medical terms as ringing in the ears which persists for over six months. Along with this condition, there are often other complications such as chronic insomnia. As you grow older, the condition often becomes worse. Everything is affected... your work, your relationship with your family AND friends, but most importantly your physical AND mental health. You may feel that your body is out of control, as if a foreign AND destructive force is manipulating your life. These 10 secret tips will curb the symptoms of this monster problem to give you back control of your life. These 10 secret tips for coping with tinnitus offer a lifestyle path- not a final solution OR cure. Physicians AND psychiatrists do not know the fundamental cause of this condition. The only remedy they can offer: prescription medications to alleviate the symptoms. AND some of these drugs actually make the condition *worse.* Autotoxic medications are one source of tinnitus. If you have been prescribed a medication that you think makes yours ears ring, alert your physician IMMEDIATELY. If you do not stop taking the offending medication, it may physically AND irreversibly damage the structures of your inner ear. Have your doctor refer you to a licensed audiologist to have your hearing screened for hearing loss. You cannot be too careful in preventing this condition before it becomes chronic. Your 1st secret tip: Sleep only in a darkened room, with absolutely no light coming through. Cover your windows with a thick blanket, if necessary. When you need to go to the bathroom, you should learn to walk to the bathroom "blind," with your eyes shut OR wearing an eye mask. You do not want even a speck of light to enter your eyes, even from your charging electonic toothbrush. This procedure will enhance your sleep patterns, because your brain works on circadian cycles, AND you can train your brain to adjust to day AND night rhythms of sleeping. While there is no cure for tinnitus, these 10 secret tips may assist you in mitigating the misery of nighttime tinnitus that could disrupt your sleep patterns for a lifetime. Again, make sure that your bedroom is COMPLETELY DARK. These measures *naturally* stimulate the production of melatonin in the brain's pineal gland. More about melatonin later. Your 2nd secret tip: Purchase a quality a noise-masking machine, which has a lifetime guarantee. You want a to purchase a machine that will work for years AND years, because I know that some of the readers of this Knol already are facing the prospect of managing this problem for the rest of their lives. Place the masking machine on the floor by your bed or, in extreme cases, on your night table, as close to your head as possible. The noise machine will make the tinnitus not seem as loud. You can also use a floor fan to mask tinnitus; this is another kind of masking machine. Don't be shy about the noisy racket in your bedroom, even if others complain. YOU NEED TO SLEEP! Your health AND sanity are precious AND irreplaceable. Your 3rd secret tip: Choose a profession that is not associated with loud noises OR extreme psychological stress. Stress AND tension aggravate this condition. You may even need to consider changing your profession if sleep loss due to tinnitus makes you upset, tense, AND agitated throughout the day. (Sleep deprivation is the most ancient AND common form of torture used in prisons the world over.) This may seem somewhat drastic, but your health is your wealth. What are you without your health AND peace of mind? Your 4th secret tip: At night take sublingual melatonin, as a lifetime routine. Let the pill dissolve slowly under your tongue. The sublingual melatonin is more quickly assimilated than taking it in hard pill form with water. Your 5th secret tip: Exercise daily AND get out in nature where you feel peace AND calmness. You say that you do not have time for any exercise. Then purchase a rebounder AND exercise only 10 minutes per day. Rebounding lymphasizes your body, AND leaves you feeling strong, more relaxed, AND energized. Your 6th secret tip: You need to understand the cycle of pain behavior. The more your mind dwells AND feeds on pain, the more sensitized your body becomes to pain of any kind. Pain begets pain. One of the easiest ways to stop fixating on pain is to be involved with assisting others, get involved in projects you love, AND get involved with your wife AND family. Stay active AND interested in life! Your 7th secret tip: Your tinnitus could actually get worse, unless you take charge of this condition by making lifestyle adjustments now. Exercise plays a vital role in managing this condition. The more you exert yourself physically, the more likely you are to sleep better at night, despite the irritating noise in your ears. If you enjoy swimming, you could check with your local university OR YMCA for a membership to swim at least three OR four times per week. Taking a long, brisk walk will also relax you AND tire you out. Swing your arms, AND attach light weights to your arms AND legs, once you are strong enough. These velcro strap-on weights are available at your local athletic store. Your 8th secret tip: A poor diet contributes to tinnitus. Avoid alcohol, refined sugar, caffeine, heavily salted foods (like cheese). Cut the wine, colas, coffee, candy, pizza AND even decaffeinated coffee (which is not completely decaffeinated.) Start having more raw vegetables at least once a day with dressing of lemons OR oranges. Your 9th secret tip: Every several hours you should relax, both physically AND mentally. Massage yourself gently AND swing your hands, arms, AND body around as if you were a rag doll. You want to not only swing in circular motion in various directions, but also massage yourself at the same time. It is this dual action that really relaxes your body when done regularly. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST-KEPT SECRETS ABOUT TINNITUS: TWISTING AND MASSAGING THE BODY IN CIRCULAR MOTION AT THE SAME TIME LOOSENS UP BODY TENSION. WHEN YOU ARE LESS TENSE YOU SLEEP BETTER.
