Tinnitus Relief & PreventionPreventionLooking after your hearing is something we all need to do better, noise pollution is increasing all the time. We over expose ourselves in many elements of our life. In reality it is impossible (and unhealthy) to avoid activities because of the effect of loud noises. Why should we? People love their favourite band playing live, the buzz of listening to fast cars, loud music, your favourite movie and more.
If you have moderate to severe tinnitus then you need to adapt your lifestyle in order to provide the basis upon which you can manage your symptoms. If dealt with early enough there is a wealth of evidence to suggest this can be repaired, at the very least it will no longer impact your life in the same way.
Stress and an unhealthy lifestyle can bring on tinnitus symptoms or make them worse. Try and remain positive – help is at hand.

two-minute breathing exerciseFind 2 minutes – just 2 minutes, 3 times a day to practice this exercise. Sit in a comfortable chair, preferably with a high back so that head and neck are supported. Or you can lie down if you prefer. Now tell your muscles to relax, to let go and become soft. Mentally run through the body from head to foot. If you find any tension in the muscles, try to relax, and then continue to check the next area of the body. Pay particular attention to the head, neck and shoulders, as these are areas where many of us hold our tension and stress. Spend no more than 2 minutes doing this exercise, then carry on with your day. If you don’t feel any great sense of relaxation, don’t worry. Relaxation is a skill that has to be practiced. Over time you will become more aware of your stress as it builds up in your body and be able to release it more easily. The key is to practice regularly. For that reason you should spend no more than 2 minutes doing this exercise, then carry on with your day. |
