Tinnitus is actually a kind of imaginary sound in the brain. It is a fantasy perception of sound that arises within our brain itself in the absence of the presence of external sound. You may be a tinnitus sufferer because tinnitus occurs in a high percentage of the population, 16-21% of adults, and more than 41.43% of tinnitus patients in general ENT clinics. Are you anxious because of tinnitus? Are you worried that tinnitus is a precursor to a serious disease? Did your doctor tell you that “tinnitus is untreatable?” …… Is this series of problems bothering you, making you unconsciously pay full attention to your tinnitus, making you restless, anxious and confused, and this also makes you almost completely unable to sleep and work …… All tinnitus patients, to be exact, should be There are many people who have tinnitus, some for a short period of time, some for a long period of time, and even for decades, but not all tinnitus affects us. This is a very, very important question, and to illustrate this, let’s take an example. Let’s say you have $100 in your hand, how do you feel about this $100? If you plan to take this 100 yuan to buy a bouquet of flowers for your beloved, then you will feel that this 100 yuan is full of the meaning of love; if you plan to take this 100 yuan to buy a toy for your cute little baby, then you will feel that this 100 yuan is full of the meaning of happiness; if you plan to take this 100 yuan to buy a birthday cake for the elderly, then you will feel that this 100 yuan is full of the meaning of happiness; if you intend to take this $100 to pay a ticket, then you will feel that this $100 is the messenger of helplessness; if you intend to take this $100 to do something bad, then you will feel that this $100 is the incarnation of trepidation …… And our brain has a special function of ignoring the habitual sound, for example, the households on the roadside, at first may The noise of the road is clearly perceived, but over time, you will gradually adapt to the noise of the road and only have a one-off reaction to the occasional loud horn. Thus, we can confidently tell you tinnitus sufferers that road noise can be accustomed without being noticed, let alone our tinnitus. And in fact, when researchers matched the loudness of tinnitus, they found that the loudness of tinnitus is only about 10 dBHL, which is only equivalent to the sound of our whisper. The fundamental reason why we cannot get used to this small sound and ignore it is how we come to understand and perceive it. The same 100 yuan why when you have a different intention of using it, let you have a different view of him, and thus let you have a completely different feeling? The point is that, as the ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus said, “It is not the thing itself that has an effect on man, but the idea with which he sees it.” In other words, “it is not the sound of tinnitus itself that has an effect on man, but the idea with which man views the sound of tinnitus” Tinnitus is really just a symptom, just like pain, and our researchers do study and treat tinnitus and pain as similar symptoms, but compared to pain, apart from being common, tinnitus seems to be more puzzling. Tinnitus, as a common, common symptom, is not really scary. Only by fully understanding tinnitus will you be able to treat it reasonably and cooperate reasonably with your doctor to dispose of it. Let’s work together so that eventually the sound of tinnitus will no longer affect you and you can live your life freely.
