Tinnitus is a medical condition that causes those afflicted to constantly hear noise, typically an incessant ringing in the ears. For many sufferers, this is not a small inconvenience. In fact, some tinnitus victims become so frustrated that they consider surgically removing their ear drums, and other experience suicidal ideation.
Unfortunately, there are very few medical treatments for tinnitus. However, this has not stopped unscrupulous marketers from selling bogus tinnitus cures to consumers desperate enough to try anything. One such marketer may be Quietus, which is sold on late-night television shows and on the Internet. Quietus is touted as a “homeopathic remedy” that “helps support your body’s healing power and helps your inner ear function better.” Not surprisingly, the makers of Quietus are unwilling to divulge its contents.
There are serious questions as to whether Quietus is capable of helping consumers with tinnitus at all.
Tinnitus is not a disease; but a symptom resulting from a range of underlying causes that can include: ear infections, foreign objects or wax in the ear, nose allergies that prevent (or induce) fluid drain and cause wax build-up. Tinnitus can also be caused by natural hearing impairment (as in aging), as a side-effect of some medications, and as a side-effect of genetic (congenital) hearing loss. However, the most common cause for tinnitus is noise-induced hearing loss.
A serious problem that I have with the whole “tinnitus cure” issue is the fact that the symptoms of tinnitus can have a variety of different causes and for that reason medications and treatment strategies may vary based on these factors. Sad to say, there really is no panacea for all those suffering from tinnitus symptoms so, it might be wise to first understand the cause of your particular condition before making the decision to buy a product such as Quietus for tinnitus or any other tinnitus supplement.
