Russell, B. The principles of mathematics. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Cognitive behavioral therapy is included to help treat the person's emotional reaction to tinnitus. This relaxation method often helps to ease tinnitus symptoms, by helping to reduce stress. Other treatments that help some people with tinnitus include cochlear implants. These are only available to people who are totally deaf.

Or to people with profound hearing loss in both ears. There are also medicines that reduce anxiety or depression, or that help you sleep. Ask your provider which treatment may work best for you. Think about things that will help you cope. Many people find listening to music very helpful. Focusing on music may help you forget about your tinnitus for a while.

It can also help hide the sound. Other people like to listen to recorded nature sounds such as ocean waves, the wind, or crickets.

Keep away from anything that can make your tinnitus worse. This includes smoking, alcohol, and loud noise. In some cases it's helpful to wear earplugs or special earmuffs. These can protect your hearing and keep your tinnitus from getting worse. If you are a construction worker, airport worker, or hunter, or if you are regularly exposed to loud noise at home or work, always wear protective hearing devices.

Ask friends and family for help. If it is hard for you to hear over your tinnitus, explain your condition to your friends and family and ask them to face you when they talk. Then you can see their faces. Seeing their expressions may help you understand them better. Ask people to speak louder, but not shout. Also tell them they don't have to speak slowly, just more clearly.

You may hear your heartbeat in your ear or a swishing sound. But like many people with hearing loss, I feel vulnerable at night. I think I would hear the smoke alarm right over the bed.

I think the dog would bark or jump on me if someone tried to break in. I hope. George Prochnik, the author of In Pursuit of Silence , went in search of the quietest place in the world and eventually found himself in the basement sanctuary of the Trappist New Melleray Abbey, in Iowa.

The monks, he observed, listen to silence for self-knowledge. Far from being out of his comfort zone, he was disappointed when it was time to leave.
