My success story!
Suffered for 10+ years. Like most everyone else, tried everything imaginable and unimaginable for relief with no profound permanent outcome.
Tried the masking noises, hypnosis, sound therapy, herbal medicine, etc Some had very minor short term relief at best. Even talked with a doctor, said not much can be done. Really?
Tried to find a source of the problem with no luck.
After several more years of suffering. kind of learned to live with it. Until my dentist noticed that I grind teeth at night, she suggested do I have tinnitus? Wow, that was an enormous insight, like as a heavy weight removed from my shoulders. Could this really be related? Finally, a source of the symptoms had been located.
Did the research of Bruxism, TMJ and how tinnitus fits into the picture, finding out that the sleep disorders had contributed to it. Came down to couple of simple diet factors.
Cut out a half of sodium, sugar and especially caffeine intake. Now I sleep so much better, reduced the Bruxism and TMJ issues down to almost zero.
Thou, can not say the tinnitus has completely gone away. Let's say the issue is like 90% gone.
Typically can go 3 to 4 days of complete clear hearing, then may slightly creep in for a day or two then cycle back down to zero. Nevertheless, this is a huge step into a very positive result.
Made a lot of sense by looking at diet. Foods that are loaded with the caffeine, sugar and sodium are stressing the body to a point that something's not right. A cause and effect cycle. The reaction with me was the result of TMJ and a terrible night's sleep, then eventually tinnitus kicked in.
Never thought that I was a 'heavy' coffee drinker, typically 2 to 3 cups only in the morning. Soon as I stopped the caffeine, things instantly changed, like if a switch clicked in my head. That alone was a huge result.
Been doing this for 2 months now, and no major issues came about with tinnitus.
So, hopefully this may help out others who are in the same situation.
Thanks for reading.
