Tinnitus: Cure

There is no cure for auditory system failure due to cochlear cell damage that results in tinnitus. Many companies are claiming to have discovered a cure in order to gain research grant funding, investment monies, or exploit people who are new to severe chronic tinnitus.

These companies realize that there are 12 million people with chronic severe tinnitus. Many of the people who are new to tinnitus assume that there is a magic pill or miracle cure. They inevitably fall for the cure claims and end up disappointed or depressed to learn that there is actually no cure only after spending the money.

The cells of the cochlea are non-regenerative. Tinnitus can be managed. There are best practices that can help the tinnitus sufferer:

Best practices include:
  • Communicating the Condition
  • Preventing the Tinnitus from Getting Worse
  • Anticipating Flare Ups
  • Maintaining Healthy Relationships
  • Improving General Physical Health
  • Socializing with People Who Have Tinnitus
  • Using Chronic Pain Management Techniques
  • Staying Informed
  • Minimizing Secondary Conditions
