What Is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is a permanent ringing in the ear due to the lesion of ear-drum cells after exposure to loud noises.

This leads the brain to “hear” noises that actually don’t exist.

As such, tinnitus is thought to be in most cases, a cognitive problem.

It is said that once you have it, it will never go away.

However, this is not correct. There have been cases of people that managed to get rid of their tinnitus after special sound therapies.

The problem is that tinnitus is such a personal issue, and its cause and treatment depend so much on the individual, that we haven’t yet found a general treatment.

How I Got Tinnitus

On a tragic day of August 2015, I walked into a club, got drunk, spent 3 hours inside, and when I got out, my life had changed forever.

3 hours.

This is what it took to see the possibility to listen to silence vanishing ever since.
