Los Angeles, Calif: (MMD Newswire) April 11, 2011 -- Dr Murray Grossan, Ear Nose and Throat specialist for tinnitus, will be speaking to the Los Angeles Tinnitus Group on Saturday April 16 at UCLA. The public is invited.
He will discuss his tinnitus treatment method based on neuroplasticity, which means that brain functions can be changed for tinnitus relief.
Although his book for tinnitus is titled Stressed? Anxiety? Your Cure is in the Mirror, DrGrossan points out that stress is not a cause of tinnitus.
Usually tinnitus can come from loud noise exposure, inner ear infections, hypertension or certain drug toxicity. But there are many instances where it can come solely from the brain itself. For example, when a surgery or trauma injures the hearing nerve, tinnitus can start, even though the ear is no longer connected to the brain.
According to the American Tinnitus Society, fifty million persons experience tinnitus; but ten million suffer from tinnitus.
His program from the Stressed? Anxiety? book uses a method of changing the circuits so that the tinnitus no longer a symptom. Of his hundreds of tinnitus patients, his method has been successful without resorting to sedatives or tranquilizers.
The important thing for the patient is to realize that building new pathways is no different than learning a better tennis serve or golf stroke. The book gives the exercises that work for tinnitus relief. Like having a full time coach to help your tennis serve, Dr Grossan uses a mirror to tell you when you do the exercise right. "With the mirror to guide you, you have your coach with you seven days a week."
As part of the demonstration, you are asked to bring your own portable mirror.
