Tinnitus and Meniere’s Syndrome: A Natural Approach

Recently, I did a presentation for the Tinnitus and Meniere’s Syndrome support group of our local Canadian Hearing Society chapter. I wanted to share this presentation online for those who were unable to attend the meeting and for others who may be interested.

It was very eye-opening to speak to each of the individuals at the meeting that suffer from these debilitating conditions. Without having gone through it yourself it is difficult to imagine what it would be like to be in their situation – to, for example, live each day with a loud ringing sound in your head that diminishes your ability to hear properly or with vertigo so extreme it makes you anxious to even walk.

Since this support group is well versed about tinnitus and Meniere’s disease, I omitted any overview of symptoms or physiology  from the presentation. This talk focuses solely on the naturopathic approach to tinnitus and Meniere’s syndrome and is aimed at the general layperson.

The presentation is about 30 minutes long and has been divided into two parts. Please use the “play” button to advance slides.

Part 1: Overview of naturopathic medicine, along with how nutrition and herbal medicine can be used to treat tinnitus and Meniere’s syndrome.

Part 2: Overview of how homeopathy, Traditional Chinese medicine, counseling and environmental medicine can be used to treat tinnitus and Meniere’s syndrome.

Are you affected by tinnitus and/or Meniere’s syndrome? What therapies have you found beneficial?
