CureTinnitus.org Tinnitus Tip: Who Can't Help You (dealing with negative people)

Today’s tip: The people who say they can’t help you…can’t help you.[wcm_restrict]

Discussion
Many people with tinnitus fret about their doctors being unable to help them. A lot of energy is spent on anger at the medical establishment. From our discussions with hundreds of people with tinnitus, the word on the street is that even ENT’s or “ear nose and throat” specialists rarely offer help to people with tinnitus. Or we can say, they rarely offer help that is satisfactory to the patient.

“…
Core Issue 1:  Negative People

Please let go of negative people who say there is nothing you can do about tinnitus. They are not going to help you. How can they honestly be of any use? The next time you hear someone say, “There’s nothing you can do about it,” shake their hands and say good-bye. Acknowledge that they are advertising the fact that they cannot help you. You need positive, constructive advice from people who understand this condition. They do exist. You have found one here. (Editor’s note: in Julian Cowan Hill)

Unfortunately there are plenty of health practitioners that have little or no understanding of tinnitus. I meet plenty of people who have been given the wrong information and feel distressed as a result. What you don’t need is to be exposed to tales of doom. It helps to be in touch with people who have learnt to let go of tinnitus themselves. Please know that tinnitus is not a fixed state. It can be changed and many people do get over this condition.
