Re: Anyone tried "Quietus" for relief of Tinnitus
sjohnny,
It lasted perhaps 24 hours.
The ringing can be caused by more than nerve damage, according to what I've found. Some tinnitus can even be heard by other people who stand closely to the one who is suffering.
The fine hairs in the inner ear that vibrate can become hyperactive and generate a ringing tone. in this scenario, I believe the oil acts as a buffer and calms the movement of the hairs.
Another type of ringing originates from the brain.
You know how if you hear the same machinery running all day long, and then you go home and you can almost still hear it in your head? It's kind of like that.
As we get older, we begin to lose the ability to hear in certain frequencies. The brain, having been used to being stimulated with sound in those ranges for all of our lives, actually generates a compensatory tone in that frequency range to make up for what it expects to be hearing.
