Ringing In Left Ear – What Is This Noise In My Head

Ringing In Left Ear

The ringing hasn't seemed to want to stop. For some reason it might sound like roaring or buzzing or sizzling. Some people hear crickets or sizzling. All of these kinds of sound are emanating from inside the brain and every now and then the ear (or both) and for many, these sounds can be debilitating. Whatever it is that you hear, it is more than annoying when it is severe. These sounds are called tinnitus.

 

You don't need a diagnosis for tinnitus. If you are hearing sound, you are hearing tinnitus. If you have a sore throat, you don't need a doctor to tell you that you have a sore throat. HOWEVER, you do need a doctor to rule out strep throat and you DO need a doctor to rule out a tumor causing the tinnitus.

What To Do About Ringing In The Ears

Many people have asked whether their tinnitus is some kind of a curse from God or a hallucination caused by the devil. I can assure you that it is neither. Tinnitus is as real as anything else you can see or hear. It does exist. It is not imaginary.

 

Phantom perception is real perception. It's phantom to objective observation. Have you ever looked at the clear sky and seen "floaters"? Floaters are normally nothing to be concerned with, but at times they can be annoying. They are often caused by fragmenting of cells in the eye that are registering in the retina. Continue reading →

What To Do For Ringing In The Ears

Hypnotherapy presents at least three different, useful models for helping people reduce the volume of their tinnitus. Although you will learn some useful information about hypnotherapy later in this blog, this blog is not about hypnosis. Hypnotherapy alone will not eliminate tinnitus in most people. However, an expert therapist, very familiar with tinnitus and its management, can work remarkable magic in literally "re-wiring" the brain of the tinnitus sufferer. Later in this blog, I will share with you

  • research that has been done in helping people turn the volume down with hypnotherapy.
  • recent research about reducing volume with many other vital modalities.
  • experiences of my clients and their personal successes and failures. Continue reading →

Noise Inner Ear

Christmas came and went. It was a horrible holiday season. I tried to put on a happy face for friends and relatives. They had no idea what was going on inside of my head. On the "outside," in everyone else's real life world, we sold the motor coach. I couldn't drive it, so it didn't really matter. Either the motion or the noise from driving exacerbated the tinnitus.

 

I was busy with clients again and my research, but I only found case studies until, early in 1994, I began uncovering reams of hypnotherapeutic research. A friend of mine, Christine Coleman, was the executive director of Hope for Hearing, at the Victor Goodhill Hearing Center, at UCLA.
