The statistics as to how many people suffer from tinnitus is not known since it is a subjective disease (only the sufferer normally notices it). What is known is that very bad cases of tinnitus are suffered by some people. The ringing could be louder than a ringing telephone, and it's bothersome that you can't perform even the most common household chores.
Think of how badly these individuals would fare at work!
To date, a wide variety of underlying causes have been suggested for Tinnitus in the medical world. Doctors mostly point to otologic disorders - that is, the same disorders that cause hearing loss. Others claim that Tinnitus is a symptom of an underlying neurologic disorder, such as multiple sclerosis or a head injury. Still others claim that it arises from stress and anxiety.
Actually, I know for a fact that Tinnitus is caused by tension in the muscles around the ears, which include the jaw. Several long years of poor head posture can cause these muscles to stiffen and interfere with the head's natural balance, which in turn causes the loud ringing in the ears that many of us know so well.
How do I know this?
My TMJ or temporomandibular Joint Disorder program cures TMJ by making the muscles around the jaw, the tongue, and the neck relaxed.
Many of my customers who are TMJ sufferers also experience Tinnitus as a side effect. They were cured of their TMJ in just a few days or weeks after following my exercises.
And guess what? Their Tinnitus also went away for good. Talk about a great side effect!
That's when I realized the link between TMJ and Tinnitus. The two disorders shared the same underlying problems, and addressing those problems also did away with many of the symptoms medical professional attribute to Tinnitus today. (Even stress and anxiety!)
If you are suffering from Tinnitus, check our my TMJ No More program. You might enjoy a host of other beneficial side effects. (and when you do, let me know, I'll probably be surprised too.)
