Re: ESSENTIAL OILS FOR TINNITUS

‎08-26-2014 04:42 PM

Ugh! Of all things it would have to be lavender? That scent gags me. But, seriously, I don't think there is a fix. I have severe tinnitus and you just have to get used to it for the most part. Mine is on 24/7 - sometimes it's not bad but sometimes I go for weeks with it so loud I want to shove a pencil through my head.

Hearing aids sound like a good idea. When I'm using earbuds or headphones it is less intrusive too.

I firmly believe tinnitus is permanent. My husband and many thousands of men and women have a service connected disability which includes tinnitus. I do not think the US Government would be paying millions of dollars in service connected claims to veterans if tinnitus could be cured by any essential oil.

I have had tinnitus for about 30 years. Have not tried any alternative treatments. At first it was hard to get used to, but I have learned to "hear over" it. If I don't think about it, it is easier to ignore. If I really listen to it, it would drive me crazy!
