Relief for Ringing in the ears

-

THIS IS A TRUE STORY

“I drive cement trucks and the fellas at work used to refer to me as “the deaf old B ***** ” because they would have to get my whole attention before telling me anything. I also had tinnitus, which was like standing in the scrub in the summertime with the trees full of cicadas at high volume 24 hours a day. Since Sound Therapy the tinnitus has faded, my hearing has improved significan­tly and so has my memory.”

HERE’S WHY

It's all about how the ear and the brain are affected by sound vibrations. Too much noise can damage the receptor cells in the ear. Constant noise exposure from loud music, machinery, traffic or engine noise usually results in damage to the ear, and changes the brain pathways that process sound. The reaction to noise and stress can often be tinnitus, and it affects close to 20% of the population. Research suggests tinnitus occurs because the brain pathways that register sound become altered, creating the phantom noise inside your head.

NEW HOPE

New research has shown that the brain is ‘plastic’ meaning it can change and build new pathways. With the right sort of stimulus, the neurons are calmed and the brain pathways are ‘re-mapped’ to restore a more normal response to sound.

EASY PORTABLE PROGRAM

Sound Therapy provides gentle stimulatio­n to the ear and brain and has given relief to 90% of tinnitus sufferers. As a portable program, it can be used during normal daily activities such as conversati­on, gardening, watching TV or sleeping.
