【實用健康app】Tinnitus Relief by Helena Löwen-Åberg|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

It can be greatly distressing when tinnitus first presents itself. This may be expressed as sleepless nights, concentration difficulties, tension, irritability and restlessness. The resulting stress could result in an even greater focus on the tinnitus. In my experience, the sooner you can break this vicious cycle, the better. Your tinnitus will bother you less, and the symptoms will recede and may even disappear. Tinnitus relief is an app designed for anyone suffering from tinnitus. Tinnitus relief contains a fact sheet describing what tinnitus is, how common it is, possible causes and what might make the condition worse. The mechanisms behind hypersensitivity to sound are also explained. It provides exercises and advice to help you cope with your tinnitus in the best possible way.Tinnitus relief will also provide relief for anyone with a history of tinnitus, but where the situation has become more troublesome for some reason. In addition, you can apply the measures in this app in preventive manner, to protect against hearing loss and tinnitus. The app includes guided exercises you can use straight away:• A 6-minute relaxation exercise• A 25-minute body scan, which is an exercise in mindfulness that also provides relaxation • A 12-minute “sleep ease” exercise that will help you settle down and sleep.
