TINNITUS HOAXES BEWARE: Mindfulness and Self-Hypnosis Can Turn Down the Ringing at NO Cost

Book Synopsis: This may be the only tinnitus book that is NOT a sales pitch. It is published as a public service to fellow sufferers who are bombarded by so-called tinnitus “cures.” The tinnitus industry is big business. Look around. Every newspaper, magazine, radio and TV station advertises the latest tinnitus treatment. Walk through any drugstore and you will find pills and ear-drops that promise to “quiet the ringing,” all scams. Tinnitus sufferers are like red meat to vultures willing to prey on the unfortunate. Newly afflicted find themselves alone, vulnerable and desperate. Loud tinnitus creates depression, depression creates insomnia, insomnia creates anxiety and anxiety makes the ringing louder, a debilitating cycle. I know. I was stricken in 2008, and I quickly ran through thousands of dollars of empty promises.

Those new to tinnitus need to learn one simple fact: there is no cure. A lot of people are working this problem, but as of 2020 none yet. The day a pill is invented that “stops the ringing” will be worldwide, blockbuster news, the cure of the century! And it will be worth billions. However, do not despair. There are a lot of effective tools for managing this condition. As a matter of fact, you can do more for yourself than anyone can do for you, but you need to get educated. The American Tinnitus Association is a good place to start.

This book expands on a 2013 article published in Tinnitus Today entitled, Do-It-Yourself Tinnitus Therapy: One ATA Member’s Story of Success, by Steven Ward. Self hypnosis has proven effective in reducing tinnitus noise and sensitivity in study after study, but very few know of it. It won’t be advertised anywhere, because there’s no money in it. Hypnosis offers a way to reprogram the subconscious brain, the source of that horrible sound. Mindfulness, meditation and self hypnosis can be used on a daily basis free of charge. As a matter of fact, one can get a great start by clicking on the free portion of this book “Look Inside.” I gladly show the path I took to renewed happiness. I pray it works for you.
