Cure Your Tinnitus - First You Must Understand Your Subjective Tinnitus

If you want lasting tinnitus relief, you need to understand which of the many forms of tinnitus you have. One common type is Subjective Tinnitus. This article explains what that is, why having it doesn't mean you're crazy, and points you to a holistic guide that can help you cure this and any other form of tinnitus you might be afflicted with.

If you suffer from subjective tinnitus, you're hearing things that no one else can. That doesn't mean that these sounds are imaginary or 'all in your head.' It just means that no one else can hear them or explain where they are coming from. You're definitely not crazy or anything like that.

Sometimes, this form of tinnitus is actually caused by the real and normal sounds your body makes, sounds that people normally just don't hear. The sounds that you are hearing in this case are so quiet that no one else can hear them, even your doctor. Because your doctor can't detect these sounds or explain where they're coming from, they are considered subjective instead of objective tinnitus.

But the most common form of subjective ringing in the ears isn't some real sound that no one else can hear. Instead, the sounds you are hearing are actually some sort of malfunction in your auditory or nervous system. In these cases, one or the other system is sending your brain nerve impulses that look to your brain like the messages created by sounds, even though they aren't triggered by any actual sound.

For victims of subjective tinnitus, there's both good and bad news. The bad news is that you definitely have a problem that needs to be resolved. The good news is that this is a real and treatable condition, not just something in your head.
