Tim, I have been dealing with Tinnitus going on four years. During the day it is manageable, but I dreaded the night. Before getting your PWAH, when my head hit the pillow, it was like someone turned the volume up on the ring tone. Due to desperation, l searched the web looking for a pillow that might offer me some measure of peace during the night. As soon as l discovered your webpage, l knew l would be placing an order. I was so excited and hopeful when l received my pillow. All I can say is, thank you. For the past week, I have slept throughout the night peacefully. Even my husband has noticed l am no longer fighting with my pillow. I did remove a small amount of filling, just to make it a little softer, and now it’s perfect. I will be forever grateful. Again, thank you. Pat

What is “tinnitus”?

The word “tinnitus”, like many words in the English language, derives from a latin root. In this case it comes from the word for “ringing”. 

Anyone who has experienced tinnitus will know why, for tinnitus is the hearing of sounds that don’t emanate from an external source. Such sounds are most frequently perceived as a buzzing, ringing or hissing. 

Tinnitus varies in pitch and volume from person to person and can be intermittent or constant. Indeed, your author has a ceaseless low hum in his right ear. It could be worse, and often is. 

Tinnitus is not a disease in itself; it is a symptom and it is usually caused by an underlying condition. As for myself, I have what I consider to be clogged “eustachian tubes” (thank you, genetics), and after a head-cold, a long flight and the over -pressurization of my ears – well, there we have it. 

What does tinnitus sound like?

Tinnitus is most commonly described as a ringing in the ears, but it varies massively from person to person. 

Some people have a low hum, others a high pitches squeal. Sometimes in both ears, sometimes in one. It may be a constant sound or an intermittent amalgam of many. Sometimes the tinnitus is drowned out by ambient noise, sometimes it cuts through even the most enveloping of white noise. It can sometimes be ignored. It can sometimes drive people insane. 

It can even be perceived as a familiar song. This is known as musical tinnitus. 

Quite frequently a person’s tinnitus can pulse in time with their heartbeat. This is known as pulsatile tinnitus, and it is one of the kinds of tinnitus most treatable with The Original Pillow with a Hole™.

Who gets tinnitus?

Tinnitus may be more common than you think. Approximately 30% of people will experience tinnitus at some point in their lives and almost 15% of adults experience it persistently. That’s more than one in eight people. Furthermore, one in ten people report that it has a significant negative impact on their quality of life. 
 
You are certainly not alone.
 
It is most commonly found in people with hearing problems, but it can just as easily present itself in people with normal hearing. I can hear perfectly well (for the time being) and yet I still suffer from tinnitus, for example.
 

What are the risk factors of tinnitus?

There are a number of occupations or lifestyle choices that carry an increased risk of tinnitus, and they are all noise related.

 
These include being routinely exposed to loud music, whether at a concert or on your headphones, exposure to loud machinery or exposure to loud bangs. All of these affect the delicate workings of the ear and can eventually lead to tinnitus symptoms. There is a clear cause and effect there and steps can and absolutely should be taken to mitigate these known risks.

 
Yet beyond that there are many, many more causes of tinnitus which are not clearly understood, and they are very difficult to control for.
Such factors can include high blood pressure, stress TMJ, neck pain, jaw pain, blocked eustachian tubes (hello), the list goes on and on. Mine started on an airplane, yours might have started during a particularly stressful meeting as my uncle’s did. 

It is often not known what caused it and it is not known entirely how to cure it.

So what can be done about it?

The Original Pillow with a Hole - The Tinnitus Relief Pillow

There are several treatments for tinnitus currently being developed. Some of the most promising attempt to re-train the brain to filter out the disruptive frequencies. We would encourage everyone to seek treatment from an ENT specialist as their first port of call in order to find out what treatment is right for them.

In the meantime, there is a good chance that your tinnitus will be alleviated by The Original Pillow with a Hole™.  Especially if you suffer from pulsatile tinnitus.
