Meditation Helped Me Beat Tinnitus - 2007/10/01 09:01
I started to learn meditation when I was young-just about 12 years old. I had been diagnosed with tinnitus a couple of years before and was struggling to cope with it, especially at night.
The royal national institute for the deaf put me in touch with a meditation class that frequently worked with tinnitus suffers. I was taught a technique of visualisation where I imagined a volume control for my ringing.
When I reached a certain point, I would reach out with an imagined hand and turn the volume down. This helped me to tune out, and certainly seemed to turn down the level of the ringing.
I would then move onto other methods that helped me relax for sleep.
