Question: I am a 41 yr old who has had mild tinnitus for 25 years but in the last few months is has become very bad in one ear and I am also suffering from hyperacusis in that ear. I have seen my GP and am waiting to see an ENT specialist but wondered if there is any way to relieve the tinnitus which is becoming quite distressing.

Answer: Unfortunately, the answer is -no.Try to avoid totally silent environments, also extremely noisy places make it worse.At home play low volume music, or put the radio on, thisdistracts from the distressing noise you hear.I know its no consolation, but many, many people have this problem, including Barbra Streissand,

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and i can tell you that i have patients with this problem and I use Ear Candling and it does work, you may also have a problem with the muscles in the neck this also cause tinnitus.Go and see a therapist who does ear candling, massage and acupressure
