Tinnitus is a buzzing or ringing in the ears that has become a chronic nightmare for millions of Americans, causing undue stress, trouble working, and even sleeplessness. With few possibilities of effective treatment, those afflicted may find it worth pursuing alternative treatments that offer possible relief or a higher tolerance for its effects.
Researchers in Poland examined the effects of 12 weeks of yoga training on 25 patients with chronic tinnitus. Affecting over 50 million adults in the United States, tinnitus can affect one or both ears and can stem from exposure to loud noises, ear and sinus infections, hearing loss in the elderly, heart or blood vessel problems, and Meniere’s disease.
