Tinnitus and vertigo are common health conditions affecting millions worldwide. This article explores their causes and similarities, providing possible answers and solutions
Thanks vey much for this introductory article. I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to reading the next two parts.
However, I don't think the accompanying photo was a good choice, although I know many articles on this subject and ads for potential cures carry similar photos. Even when the ringing is intrusive, sufferers don't usually cup their ears or scream. That guy doesn't represent us "tinnies" as a group.
As someone who has experienced constantly present and often noisy tinnitus for over 25 years, I never try to fight it by screaming back at it. Surrender and acceptance seem to work best for me.
Thanks for comment. While I havent seen people screeming or cupping their ears, I have seen cases of people on the hedge of suicide, literally crying for help and with little help from national health. I will look for a better picture. Thanks.
I've read of people committing suicide due to being unable to cope with tinnitus. I imagine that the burden could become unbearable because we can't switch it off. And this is true of some kinds of pain and depression as well. But there are also many people, probably a majority of those who experience tinnitus, who manage to live with a reasonably good quality of life.
At the same time, it would be great if I could banish it, and experience silence again.
