Congratulations ElectricIsland!





What is Tinnitus?


Tinnitus, which is one symptom of Meniere's Syndrome, is the perception of sound in the ears or head where no external source is present. It is a subjective "noise," since only the person who has the condition can actually hear it. An individual with tinnitus will often describe a sensation of sounds such as an ear ringing, even though there is no external source present. Ear ringing is the most common perception of the sounds but they can vary, depending on the individual ranging from a whooshing and pulsing sensation, to a buzzing or chirping. Perhaps tinnitus is best described as crashing waves on an ocean shore.
The pitch of the various noises will also vary. Some individuals report extremely high pitches, while others report low pitches. It is not unusual to report both. Ironically, tinnitus can even occur in those people who are completely deaf.

For some, the condition is temporary, while others experience these sensations 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These annoying sensations can interrupt sleep, disrupt concentration, and can even make ordinary conversation difficult. It can also cause psychological strains and impact personal relationships, particularly if a family member, spouse or friend does not seem sympathetic to the condition, since it isn't something they understand or hear themselves.
It can also gradually get worse, leaving the sufferer feeling helpless, particularly because tinnitus is a condition that is hard to describe to someone who is not experiencing it and even doctors don't fully understand its cause or treatment.




Dr. Andrew Cheng, ENT, Offers Help to Tinnitus Sufferers
As a current media advisor to the ear health consumer education program for Lipo-Flavonoid®, a dietary supplement that has shown clinical relief for tinnitus sufferers, he offers insight and expertise on the topic of tinnitus and its negative effect on psychological health and hearing issues, how to help prevent the development of tinnitus and how sufferers can ease the intensity for a better quality of life.

Tinnitus is one of those frustrating and infuriating conditions for which there is no cure. In fact, an estimated 50 million people (according to the American Tinnitus Association) suffer from some degree of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) [RL&A1]that ranges from mild to severe – so severe that it can have a huge impact on one's life.

“One of the most important issues with ringing in the ears is the fact that it is traumatic to the person suffering from it, and it often affects their family or other close relationships, too,” says Andrew Cheng, M.D., an otolaryngologist and clinical assistant professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at New York Medical College.

There are several lifestyle changes Dr. Cheng suggests tinnitus patients to try:

•Avoiding caffeine or alcohol

•Managing stress

•Avoiding exposure to additional loud noises which can aggravate tinnitus further (invest in a good pair of ear plugs).

•Controlling blood pressure

•Decreasing salt/sodium intake


Take Lipo-Flavonoid, http://www.lipoflavonoid.com/, a nutritional supplement that contains the B complex group of vitamins in a base of lipotropic agents, such as choline, inositol and pantothenic acid, plus vitamin C and bioflavonoids. "Seventy percent of my patients with tinnitus have had some level of success with Lipo-Flavonoid[RL&A2], which provides nutritional support to improve circulation in the inner ear for overall ear health." The exact formulation of ingredients in Lipo-Flavonoid has been tested numerous times in clinical studies [RL&A3]on humans and the results have demonstrated relief and improvement in the tinnitus, he adds. For those with ringing in the ears, any improvement is a major benefit, since there is no known cure.
