I have heard that there is a new treatment for tinnitus (ringing in the ears) different from the one in the advanced healing book. We are working on my husband's tinnitus at the Pranic Healing clinic here in Victoria, B.C. and we are not making progress. Do you have the new treatment? If so, could you please e-mail it to me. Thank you for your help and blessings to you. Ellin McCarthy ======================================== Dear Ellin, Namaste. Thank you for your email. Tinnitus is not a " stand alone " disorder. It is a resulting symptom of another condition which must be treated at the same time as the tinnitus condition. For proper pranic healing treatment, it is essential to apply thorough scanning of the patient's major and minor chakras as well as organ systems which will reveal other imbalances that require healing. Depending on your scanning results, apply the advanced pranic healing protocol for tinnitus coupled with the treatment of the imbalances in the energy condition as revealed by your scanning. Rescan after treatment to check if treatment has achieved the goal of balancing the energy body of the patient. Removing the allergens, constant loud noise exposure or other elements that aggrevate the condition will facilitate healing. Medical background: Tinnitus can be described as " ringing " ears and other head noises that are perceived in the absence of any external noise source. It is estimated that 1 out of every 5 people experience some degree of tinnitus. Tinnitus is classified into two forms: objective and subjective. Objective Tinnitus, the rarer form, consists of head noises audible to other people in addition to the sufferer. The noises are usually caused by vascular anomalies, repetitive muscle contractions, or inner ear structural defects. The sounds are heard by the sufferer and are generally external to the auditory system. This form of tinnitus means that an examiner can hear the sound heard by the sufferer by using a stethoscope. Benign causes, such as noise from TMJ, openings of the eustachian tubes, or repetitive muscle contractions may be the cause of objective tinnitus. The sufferer might hear the pulsatile flow of the carotid artery or the continuous hum of normal venous outflow through the jugular vein when in a quiet setting. It can also be an early sign of increased intracranial pressure and is often overshadowed by other neurologic abnormalities. The sounds may arise from a turbulant flow through compressed venous structures at the base of the brain. Subjective Tinnitus This form of tinnitus may occur anywhere in the auditory system and is much less understood, with the causes being many and open to debate. Anything from the ear canal to the brain may be involved. The sounds can range from a metallic ringing, buzzing, blowing, roaring, or sometimes similar to a clanging, popping, or nonrhythmic beating. It can be accompanied by audiometric evidence of deafness which occurs in association with both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Other conditions and syndromes which may have tinnitus in conjunction with the condition or syndrom, are otosclerosis, Menier's syndrome, and cochlear or auditory nerve lesions. Hearing loss, hyperacusis, recruitment, FMS, and balance problems may or may not be present in conjunction with tinnitus Causes of Tinnitus: Allergic Reactions Diseases Growths/Tumors Health Care Injuries and Medical Treatments Medication Noise Exposure Syndromes Allergic Reactions Food: Specific foods may trigger tinnitus. Problem foods include red wine, grain-based spirits, cheese, and chocolate. One contributor reported hearing tones after consuming honey. Another contributor notes that these same foods are on the list known to trigger migraine headaches; additional migraine foods include soy and anything including soy, MSG, very ripe bananas, avocados, and citrus fruits. Foods Rich in Salicylates: There is a long list of foods that are supposed to be " rich " in salicylates. Aspartame: Some people allege (quite controversially) that the artificial sugar substitute aspartame is linked to tinnitus, vertigo, and many other serious problems. Marijuana: Marijuana usage may worsen pre-existing cases of tinnitus. Diseases Lyme Disease: Lyme is a parasitic, tick-borne disease, which in the United States is most commonly seen in eastern states. In some cases, tinnitus has been a side-effect of Lyme. Growths/Tumors Acoustic Neuromas: Acoustic neuromas are small, slow growing benign tumors that press against or invade the auditory nerves. If your tinnitus is only in one ear, you should see your physician to rule this one out. An MRI will probably be required for a definitive diagnosis, but one contributor's ENT felt that an MRI wasn't warranted unless frequent dizziness was present. Glomous Tumors: These benign tumors of the glomus body can cause pulsatile tinnitus. They are confirmed with a CAT scan or other imaging. Otosclerosis: Otosclerosis is a bony growth around the footplate of the stapes (one of the 3 middle ear bones). This footplate forms the seal that separates the middle ear space from the inner ear. When the footplate moves normally, the sound vibrations are passed from the middle ear " chain " of bones into the fluid of the inner ear. If the footplate is fixated, the vibrations cannot pass into the inner ear as well and hence a resulting hearing loss. Tinnitus may also be involved.
