Ringing in the Ear Or the Shocking Truth About Tinnitus Treatment

Persistent life Tinnitus Or tinnitus can be very debilitating. In fact, about 10-20% of the population suffers from tinnitus continuously, and about 40% experience tinnitus at least once. Given this, it may be a shock to you to discover that all common treatments for tinnitus are ineffective! Yes, it is. For example, there is no scientific evidence that certain drugs that treat tinnitus are superior to other drugs. Unbelievable truth: There is scientific research showing that certain drugs are more effective than placebo in treating tinnitus.

Furthermore, all tablets containing the active ingredients tocainide, carbamazepine or gabapentin have not had long-term success in reducing tinnitus. There is also no scientific evidence that antidepressants, transcranial magnetic stimulation, or retraining therapy have a positive effect.

Unfortunately, the same is true for alternative therapies. Ginkgo, which is often used to treat chronic tinnitus, has the same effect as placebo. In addition, there is scientific research to prove the ineffectiveness of soft laser therapy and neurotherapy using procaine and lidocaine. Interestingly, however, some studies show that expectations about the expected success of treating patients suffering from tinnitus are important! Patients with positive expectations for treatment usually show more improvement than patients with neutral or negative expectations. There is also scientific evidence that cognitive therapy can help people who suffer from tinnitus dramatically improve their quality of life.

Well, let's summarize it: do you need to go to cognitive therapy now instead of your ear specialist? of course not! All these facts don't even mean that a certain medicine can't have a good effect on you. Because every body is different. To find the best one for you, you need to try a variety of things. For example, there is a remarkable e-book called Stop the Ringing. This book has a lot of useful tips for many people and may help you too.
