One of the questions we have received via <a href="http://www.metro-hearing-tinnitus.com/" target="_blank">Metro Hearing and Tinnitus website</a><br />
<br />
<i>"Do herbal supplements help with tinnitus? I have seen a lot of these herbal blends being advertised for a very cheap price, can I expect results from something like this?"</i> - David S. via e-mail<br />
<br />
The short and simple answer is no, the herbal concoctions you see advertised online and in health food stores are a scam, tinnitus is not 'curable' by 'proprietary' blends of herbs, there has not been any scientific data presented to back up these claims, in fact Dr. Robert DiSogra has a great article debunking these supposed tinnitus 'miracle remedies' that we invite our patients to read for themselves.<br />

Our tinnitus and misophonia specialist, Janusz Tobola was interviewed for Global National News this morning with one of our patients, discussing misophonia treatment in light of new research from Newcastle University, the new study officially recognizes misophonia as a 'disorder' which brings relief to many sufferers who were before seen as having an 'invisible' condition.<br />

Here are the things it’s generally considered wise for Tinnitus

<li>caffeine</li>
<li>artificial sweeteners</li>
<li>sugar</li>
<li>sulfites</li>

<br />
<ul>
<li><b>0-16: Slight or no handicap (Grade 1)</b></li>
</ul>
<b></b><ul>
<li><b>18-36: Mild handicap (Grade 2)</b></li>
</ul>

Tinnitus is usually neurological- it happens from nerve damage to the
cells of the inner ears<br />
(cochlea.) But like other ailments, there are
several possible explanations for tinnitus. There is an effective relief therapy available at our clinic, for more information visit http://www.metrohearing.ca<br />
<h2>
What are the symptoms of tinnitus?</h2>
Basically, tinnitus is a constant noise that you hear in your head-
nobody else can hear it. Tinnitus sounds differ for each individual.
Variances include volume, pitch, severity, and location.<br />
Tinnitus can occur in one ear constantly, or it can switch from one
ear to the next. Many hear ringing or whistling sounds in both ears at
the same time.<br />
People often describe their tinnitus using the following adjectives:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Ringing</li>
<li>Whistling</li>
<li>Buzzing</li>
<li>Whooshing</li>
<li>Buzzing</li>
<li>Chirping</li>
<li>Static</li>
<li>Hissing</li>
</ul>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>The
difference between hearing aid types will be a deciding factor in our
understanding of speech and aid with recognition as well as providing
our brain with adequate levels of sound, and hindering the amount of
distortion and noise signals for clearer and more pronounced
understanding. Higher end hearing aids will also stimulate our brain,
improving it’s overall efficiency, and will also cooperate with
rehabilitation programs, used to aid in sharpening the mind and
improving speech recognition. This may also soften the effects of
debilitating diseases associated with aging such as dementia.</b></span></div>

technologically advanced hearing aids have been successfully used in
many therapeutic and rehabilitation programs, even in the case of a
stroke, with the help of hearing aids speech recognition and
understanding as well as the ability to speak has returned, not to
mention the improvement in cognitive function. Hearing aids help with
the creation of new links through the creation of neurons in the
brain, through which our mind is able to take over the function of
damaged areas, which may aid in reducing the effects of degenerative
diseases like dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Research has been
conducted in the last few years, proving the effectiveness of this
method, especially when it came to technically advanced hearing aids.</b></span></div>

The authors demonstrated an association between hearing impairment
and dementia. Since then, more research in this area has been
conducted at numerous leading US and world universities. More
recently, the relationship between a hearing impairment and
Alzheimer's disease has been confirmed. The February 14, 2011

</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="pl-PL"><b>Not necessarily, this can be a lowered tolerance for sound, meaning:
hyperacusis, mishophonia, phonophobia and even a combination of them
all!!!</b></span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Reading
this you will probably say you've had enough... first we wrote about
hearing, then about caring for your hearing, after that we wrote
about caring for the health of your brain as it relates to dealing
with speech understanding, and now we are writing about tinnitus
(which is a ringing or noise in the ears that is always there). But
that's not the end of our journey through what we might encounter
with hearing disorders and problems. In this article we are going to
cover HYPERACUSIS, which is a condition </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">or
disorder caused by changes in the way our brain works and interprets
sounds, the changes are essentially over stimulation at the neural
level initiated by hearing stimuli. The term basically means a
hearing condition characterized by a lowered tolerance for sound, the
effect of which is hyperacusis and misophonia – two of the more
common hearing disorders.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">People
affected by hyperacusis will also usually have misphonia, which is
the second main component of a lowered tolerance for sounds and
noises. The third may be (appearing quite often) phonophobia. The
mechanics of these ailments are somewhat different. Studies show that
quite a large amount of people suffering from Tinnitus also have a
lowered tolerance for sound (hyperacusis.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It
is also worth mentioning that the so called 'recruitment' (occurrence
based on picking up a minor change in volume, in a non-proportional
manner exaggerated by our perception, in comparison to actual change)
refers to a person with 'sensorineural hearing loss' and does not
include those with hearing loss outlined in this article. Regarding
the phenomena of 'recruitment' we will bring it up in another article
titled 'Sensorineural Hearing Loss'.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Cases
of lowered tolerance for sound affects many people that believe they
have such amazing hearing that they can hear a pin drop from a table
to a floor – they do however have a problem with loud sounds,
especially with certain types of loud sounds at different frequencies
(this is very specific to the person), they feel a sharp pain and
have a pronounced reaction when they experience this. Standard
testing of hearing in these people will often show very good hearing
with minimal loss or deficiency, even being able to pick up faint
sounds and whispers in the tests. They are however unable to live and
function regularly due to their hearing sensitivity.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>Treating
hyperacusis, misophonia or phonophobia, as with. tinnitus is a highly
specialized field. Fortunately for sufferers it is quick and easy to
make an appointment, a referral from a family doctor is not required.
Hyperacusis like many other ailments related to hearing can also
appear as a symptom of a much more serious condition and other
health problems. It is very important to get checked for this
condition by a trained specialist so that further problems and
medical complications can be avoided.</b></span></div>

We have been in the business of hearing for over 30 years (since 1982) , the reason for the creation of this blog is to share our tips and experiences for what those suffering from hearing loss and/or tinnitus can do to improve their lives and regain the quality and comfort they had in the past. A big part of our strategy is publishing helpful articles incorporating experience we have gained and observations we have made over the last 30 years. Hearing and Audiology is an ever changing field as technology improves and aids become smaller, more powerful and more discrete, many people are completely unaware that the latest digital hearing aids are invisible once put inside the ear. Most people these days cannot tell if you are wearing hearing aids or not, the field is not as it was 20 years ago when it was obvious to everyone that a person was wearing a set of hearing aids. Technology in tinnitus treatment has finally evolved to the point where a difference can be made for those suffering from this unfortunate problem, again thanks in part to advanced technology and better microprocessors tinnitus maskers can better neutralize the ever present noise that only you are hearing, stay tuned for one of our informative articles coming early in the next week!</h2>
