Tinnitus is common said to be caused by damage to auditory cells in your inner ear. People suffering from tinnitus hear different sounds: ringing, crickets, pulsing, whooshing, ocean waves, dial tones, buzzing, even music. The sounds can appear every now and then or 24 hours a day. The sound can be so loud it interferes with the ability to concentrate or hear properly. It can cause high psychological stress.
The causes are believed to be damage due to noise; age related hearing loss or injury. But can the experts be wrong?
Studies have shown a connection between tension in jaw, neck and shoulder muscles and tinnitus. The theory is (in my own words) that a tense muscle spread signals of pain and tension. These are picked up by the ear. Since the ear can only interpret sound it translates the signals into sound.
These are great groundbreaking results. If tinnitus is cause by muscle tension it means that tinnitus is curable. Tension and pain in back, shoulders, neck and jaw are very common problems. It is caused by a sedentary lifestyle and too much stress. Bad posture, sitting too much, not enough exercise are all reasons to muscle tension and all possible to cure.
A Swedish clinic working with this principle has seen amazing results. 25% of the patients are fully cured from their tinnitus. 50% have their problems dramatically reduced.
The 25 % who do not have really good results have for different reasons not been able to reduce the tension in muscles.
Learn about the groundbreaking techniques in this ebook.
The recommendations are to:
Stress down meditation is a great tool
Stretch out your tense muscles do yoga
Do the specially developed exercises
Why learn to live with your tinnitus if you can cure it?

1. Acupressure: This was originated by the Chinese using this pressure on certain points of the body is thought to help decreasing the level of tinnitus.

3. Aromatherapy: Today aromatherapy treats patients as it is believed to help in reducing the tinnitus.
4. Biofeedback: Biofeedback is a method where people are taught to improve their health by using communications from their own bodies.
5. Deep Breathing: This is helpful in relaxation and in minimizing the stress. It is advised to take 175 deep breaths constantly every hour until tinnitus relief happens.
6. Chiropractic: This helps to improve blood supply to the head and ears which can help with tinnitus in certain individuals.
7. Diet, Vitamin and Nutritional Supplements: diets play a key role in the alternative treatment of tinnitus and vitamin and nutritional supplements help keep your immune system in shape.
8. Lifestyle: Tinnitus sufferers should exercise regularly to help increase blood supply to the head.
9. Massage: Massaging for tinnitus has been found to have some effect. Relief is obtained by using the thumb and index fingers to gently massage the earlobes and edge of the ears.
10. Meditation: It is basically a mind over body technique which helps improving tinnitus as one relaxes and try to concentrate on some other thing other than the symptoms.
11. Reflexology: When one is tired and stressed out tinnitus is at its worst and reflexology can help with relaxation techniques which in turn lead to a lowering of the tinnitus noises.
12. Low Level Laser Therapy: Low Level Laser Treatment (LLLT) for tinnitus has been practiced for about 20 years in Europe and is beginning to be recognized and practiced in Canada.
It stimulates mitochondria in the cells to produce energy through the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Mitochondria are the power supplies of all cells; they metabolize (burn) fuel and produce energy for the cell in the form of ATP. In stimulating the mitochondria, laser therapy can repair damaged tissue and return cells to a healthy state, reversing many degenerative conditions.
Of these, Low level Laser treatments for tinnitus are by far the most successful of all alternative treatments for tinnitus. Low Level Laser treatment is fast being acknowledged and accepted as the only safe treatment that brings positive results. Low Level Laser treatments do not have any side effects and have a long and proven history of relieving tinnitus.

I am the Swedsish registered nurse running a laser clinic for more than ten years. I have been treating hundreds of patients suffering from tinnitus, hyperacusis, otitis, impaired hearing, vertigo, menieres disease and many other disorders. The results are indeed very good.
Recognition is being gained, but unfortunately too slowly. The resistence from school medicine is powerful and very few audiologists and ENT-doctors are willing to read through the scientific material supporting laser therapy for inner ear disorders and they have been even less interested in getting involved with the laser therapy tratment method that they once said couldn’t work. Today there are two published gold standard studies for tinnitus treatment using laser and those are supported by dozens of studies. There are also other gold standard studies like histological studies made on inner ear tissue.
Despite all those studies the Swedish Health Board and its ENT-doctors are still claiming that laser therapy on inner ear disorders is inscientific despite the fact that it is the best therapy available according to existing published scientific articles. The resistence is obviously still quite strong. But there are more and more clinics starting to use this method for the treatment of inner ear disorders.
