DOWNLOAD EBOOKTinnitus, ringing in the ears, affects over 50 million people in the United States. Unfortunately, while there are a number of treatment strategies to help people live with tinnitus, there is often no cure. Tinnitus is unique in that there is a decidedly mental component to it. Tinnitus-sufferers intuitively sense that if they could just control their minds, the effect tinnitus has on their lives would diminish. They know there should be a way to use their minds, the way they think, so that their minds are their allies in the struggle with tinnitus regardless of which other methods they may choose to use. This book has a simple, albeit significant, goal. Its sole purpose is to give those suffering from tinnitus some different ways of thinking and simple mental techniques to put their minds solidly on their side in their encounter with tinnitus. The numerous mental and physical tools and strategies in this book, which work in conjunction with whatever other adjunctive therapies one may use for tinnitus, help to diminish the emotional toll tinnitus has on one's life, and functionally decrease the amount of time one focuses on the ringing in one's ears. The principles and techniques include such things as reviewing our emotional reaction to tinnitus, changing our beliefs with regards tinnitus, becoming conscious of both the questions we are asking ourselves and the words we are using to describe our tinnitus experience, avoiding giving tinnitus undo energy, interrupting patterns where we focus on or become upset because of our tinnitus, along with numerous other techniques. For many people, these methods may be enough to break the hold tinnitus has on their lives. Whether a person has just developed tinnitus or may have had it for a long time, this book can help.
