My Tinnitus is better!
09 Feb 2013, 15:06
I have had Tinnitus for the last three years not a ringing sound more like loud hissing that I could hear when all else was silent & particularly when trying to get to sleep. Well I have completed four fasts now & my Tinnitus is so quiet now I can hardly hear it. This is really weird but could my mental awareness of it somehow reset itself?
I am very pleased but puzzled.

I don't have high blood pressure & my GP said it was Tinnitus?

I first noticed it after a middle ear infection that caused slight deafness. Not deaf now but Tinnitus was definately worse when tired or stressed. I don' t think there is any cure only strategies to try to become habituated to it or noise boxes to cover the sound as a sort of distraction therapy. I have not tried any of that but couldn't bear silence in the house so always have had the radio on. I also seem to get to sleep faster now always a problem before. Perhaps I am noticing too many things with my own processes a side effect of 5:2?
