Tinnitus is the hearing of sound when no external sound is present. Tinnitus is not a disease, but a condition that can wreak havoc on a person's life because of the fear and anxiety that so often accompanies this strange condition. There is no cure for tinnitus but there is something just as good as a cure and its called habituation. Habituation is a natural process that occurs in the brain that eases the distress of having this sound as a constant companion.

A Comfort During a Difficult Time

4 stars

Frode Singsaas describes the onset of his tinnitus as occurring suddenly, at work, and thinking he was hearing the fire alarm. When he moved to evacuate, it dawned on him that no one else was and that the noise he was hearing was coming from inside his own head. A Roaring Silence was a quick read, something I desperately gobbled up in a search for answers and solace as I confronted this condition myself. While the book may be a bit redundant in parts I enjoyed it overall. It helped dampen some of the anxiety I was feeling and provided my first glimpse of hope when my world was turned upside-down.
