Stem Cell Research And A Natural Treatment For Tinnitus
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
I was a musician for many years and this was the cause of my tinnitus or ringing of ears. The day came when the ringing didn't quit and I eventually went on a search for a natural treatment for tinnitus.
I've really minimized my tinnitus and I want to share what I've done. Before I get into that however, I'd like to let you know some news of exciting research that's taking place with stem cells.
A lot of research has been done on Tinnitus and so far there is no medically recognized cure. The investigation by scientists into stem cell treatment has been encouraging so far. Are stem cells a possible cure?
Many people with tinnitus have a history of exposure to loud noises at work or in some other area of their life. This constant noise has the effect of damaging and ultimately destroying the delicate nerves in the inner ear.
In a nutshell, the idea is that stem cells would first be taken from an embryo and the cells changed to mimic the nerve cells of the bodies inner ear. These new cells would be grown and take the place of the now useless cells and create a new functioning nerve.
The hope is that these new cells and nerves would cure most tinnitus or at least greatly lessen its effects. The growth of these cells is called regeneration and that is the challenge for researchers.
Of course this is exciting research and gives hope to all of us who must deal with this condition. However at this point it is still not known if it will work and be successful. If it is successful it could still be years down the road before it would be available.
My quest was for a natural treatment for tinnitus. I'd been through the drugs, masking techniques and talk of possible surgery. I was ready for a different route.
I did my own research into what was working for many tinnitus patients and it seemed to be holistic methods. I began to exercise regularly and did everything possible to increase my blood flow and circulation. Increased blood flow to the brain and the inner ear has been connected to a lessening in the ringing of ears.
It made sense that anything that increased circulation to the inner ear would help and it did. I started sleeping at night and this was the first clue that I was getting older. I'm still improving every day and know that I'm coming closer to defeating this ringing of ears.
