Before you can hope to find methods to treat tinnitus is advisable to understand what tinnitus is.  You will be in a much better position to relieve the tinnitus symptoms once you have a good understanding of the condition.

Many people have suffered with tinnitus for years without having a clear understanding of what it really is.

By definition, tinnitus is a noise that originates in the ear instead of from the outside environment. In certain instances others may hear the noises. The vast majority of tinnitus sufferers experience tinnitus that only they can hear.

The condition can manifest in one or both ears. Most people refer to the tinnitus noises they experience as a ringing in the ear but there are many different noises actually heard.

  • Low Frequency Humming Noises

  • Noises Like a Door Bell Buzzing

  • Swishing

  • Roaring Sounds

  • High Pitched Whining Sounds and more

Some people even experience a combination of the different types of tinnitus sounds on a regular basis.

It’s also important to know that there are different types of tinnitus. Don’t believe that all tinnitus is the same and that there is no relief to be had.

Please check out below for a brief discussion on the different tinnitus categories:

Tonal tinnitus- in this type, you experience a constant sound such as a single note being played over and over. Only hearing one specifiv noise or pitch? That’s called tonal tinnitus.

Pulsatile tinnitus- this type is intermittent and often takes on a beat with the heartbeat or pulse of the person.

Subjective tinnitus- this is where only the patient can hear the noises.

Other common tinnitus sounds experienced are cicada like noises, screeching, humming and tapping.

If you have been hearing any of these noises or experiencing strange sounds, you have tinnitus and depending on the type, must treat it differently. Having an open mind with regard to what tinnitus is and how you will find relief will help you enormously in your quest to find a safe tinnitus treatment.

The bob hair style - an absolute classic  – and lets face it most of us have had a bob shaped hair cut at some point in our lives. THe cut can range from the classic Louise Brrookes version to a softer more forgiving version as seen on Victoria Beckham pre pixie cut and Meg Ryan.

A bob hair style can be worn at chin, shoulder or slightly longer and clever use of colour will enhance the cut and texture of the version you go for. For example if you can carry off the sharp Mary Quant style bob a glossy head of colour such a chocolate brown or bright ash blonde will look fabulous. Where as if you go for something more textured and choppy get your stylist to weave some high or low lights  – depending on your base colour to give the hear depth and texture.

My own bob hair style is changing and evolving at the moment I was sporting a full fringe (bangs for those of you Stateside) with the length sitting just below my ears  – now its hitting my shoulders  the fringe is swept to one side and the its all a bit mussy in texture (aided and abetted by many a  styling product) and I have had lots of caramel high lights woven through. But you see thats what I love about the bob hair style it lends itself really well to being adapted when you (like I have done ) decide to grow your hair – keep the pain barrier to a minimum.

So ladies my advise get your self a bob hair cut on your next visit to the salon – just flip through some style magazines and hunt out the shape and length that works for you.
