Inspiration

I was told “nothing could be done” about my tinnitus. I refused to believe it, so I became my own guinea pig. I tried proven options plus not so proven ideas. Over time, I was able to put together a coping toolbox with tools for intensive care, flare-ups, and everyday use. I wanted to share the message that “something can be done.” 

Description

Written by a clinical audiologist with over 20 years experience, Tinnitus Treatment Toolbox is a great resource for people with tinnitus (ear noise). The author also has tinnitus, and has used treatment tools to go from severe tinnitus distress to coping well. Many people with tinnitus also have hearing loss or sound sensitivity (hyperacusis).

Tinnitus Treatment Toolbox describes a wide range of traditional and alternative treatment approaches and coping strategies. Information is based on scientific research review as well as the author’s personal and clinical experience.
