For many years I had to endure a very irritating problem. My ears were constantly and loudly ringing. It started as a barely perceptable buzzing noise and would come and go. Then it became louder and constant. The noise would sometimes sound like hissing, buzzing or roaring. That was when I finally decided to make an appointment to see an ear, nose and throat specialist to find out what was going on and what kind of ear ringing treatment was available.

I went through seemingly endless testing to determine the cause. One thing I was shocked to hear was that I had a slight hearing loss. I was told that the ringing was a condition called tinnitus and if you have tinnitus you also have hearing loss to some extent.

After I was given a couple of treatments that they thought might help the ringing, I was told that there was no cure for the hearing loss or the tinnitus either. They said the treatments could help the tinnitus but in the end they were no help at all.

So I spent the next three decades just trying to ignore it and go on with my life. Then I discovered a wonderful plan that has just about put an end to the ringing. This ear ringing treatment is amazing and anyone who suffers from tinnitus should give it a try. It’s easy to implement and it’s also guaranteed.

Tinnitus is condition where a person experiences a sensation of a ringing, roaring, chirping or buzzing in the ears or head. It is typically related to varied forms of hearing loss. It can also be a symptom of an ear infection, Meniere’s disease, the use of certain drugs and many other maladies. It has been estimated that somewhere between ten and seventeen percent of the world population has experienced tinnitus at some time during their lives.

Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) essentially trains the individual suffering from the common complaint of “ringing in the ears” on how to ignore this troubling noise. It is basically a combination of counseling and sound therapy.

It can take many months of therapy to achieve any results which of course are not guaranteed. And these treatments are very expensive and usually not covered by medical insurance. Tinnitus retraining therapy centers charge on average about $3000.

Some TRT centers claim a high success rate but it should be noted that most ENT specialists recommend this only for patients with severe tinnitus.

Many people who have mild to moderate noise levels have successfully retrained themselves to ignore or block out tinnitus. You might say they have developed their own tinnitus retraining therapy. Others however are not so lucky and should consider options.
