Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / June 2007Tinnitus sound pitch
Reading the NG I got the impression that tinnitus is always perceived as a high frequency sound. My tinnitus started about four months ago and is a very low frequency sound, about 90hz, or cycles per second. My doctor treated me , after tinnutus started, for a middle ear infection. Now the infection is gone but the tinnitus is still with me and the doctor says that he does not have a cure for that. Is a low frequency tinnitus as common as the high frequency ? Can it be the indicator of someting specific ? Thanks ! Giovanni > Reading the NG I got the impression that tinnitus is > always perceived as a high frequency sound.

From what I've read, it can be anything from buzzing to clicking to ringing sounds (and a lot of other types of noises) in any frequency range. The high-pitched ringing variety is probably just the type of problem most people posting here have experienced. Mine started out in what I'd call a medium frequency range and keeps getting higher pitched. I'm hoping someday it gets so high I won't be able to hear it. Mine was a low sound. Started off like a refrigerator hum, progressed to a motorbike, then a jet plane sitting on the roof - finally my hearing went double. http://eebee.net/theory.html My best help came from a chiropractor. But it was 15 years before I realised that the neck manipulation was the best thing he did. And before people start screaming about the dangers of chiros - just remember that doctors make mistakes too. Busloads of patients are buried because of doctor's mistakes.

They can slow your visit to a real professional, who can give you drugs and/or kill you on the operating table. These issues need immediate attention, usually. Everybody should have the chance to be murdered by a doctor. >> Mine was a low sound.

I am not sure who invented chiro practice but I think it was the Chinese. Here in China there are some barber shops in which the little farm girls perform chiro movements on customers after they have had their hair cut. Their practices are similar to that of the fancy ones I experienced in Vancouver but at a small fraction of the price. They told me they learned that 'art' from the other villagers. My friend Gary is a chiropractor in Vancouver and he graduated from an institute in California. I recall he showed me chiro medical texts in which some Italian gurus was the brainchild of this chiro practice. I doubt it. 隐藏被引用文字 - > - 显示引用的文字 - > It is interesting that you guys bring up chiro. I am not sure who > invented chiro practice but I think it was the Chinese. Everything I've read says that science of chiropractic adjustment started in the US in the 1800's by a guy named Palmer. However, it's use has been documented from the time of the ancient Egyptians. Like so many other things, discovery that manipulation of the spine could be beneficial probably developed independently in many places at different times. It's just like the old belief that ravioli was the result of Marco Polo bringing the concept of wontons back to Italy from China. Now, they're saying that the Italians had stuffed pasta before he went there. Next, they'll find out ancient Babylonians had stuffed pasta. What difference does it make? > Here in China there are some barber shops in which the little farm girls perform > chiro movements on customers after they have had their hair cut. Which country has the practice of having women or girls walk on a man's back? It's basically the same thing, and it was considered a form of massage. Yeah but then the US tells people that Paul revere saved the day too. Pretty hard when they confiscated your horse and made you walk home....LOL Who else but a man named "Palmer"? very ironic. >> It is interesting that you guys bring up chiro.

Perhaps that Palmer managed to plagiarize and translate the chiro medical text into proper English that counted for those who believe in only the texts written in English. > > "fyfp...@gmail.com" wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > > - 显示引用的文字 - On 5/1/07 11:20 PM, in article 46381F1D.8BD69F2E@no.spam, "don" > Which country has the practice of having women or girls walk on a man's > back?

There are basically 2 kinds of people in the world when it comes to chiropractors: Those who believe they can help you, and those who think they're all quacks. I've learned that most people fall into the latter category. I don't believe they can cure anything and everything, but I've seen enough proof to know that they can do more than just straighten out your spine. Funny thing is the ones, I know of, that think Chiros are conmen, and quacks, are the same people that limp around with the pinched sciatic nerves and complain about how the drugs are not working for their latest pain down their legs or the migraine headaches, when they are not dying from cortosone injections. >> My best help came from a chiropractor.

Have you asked your chiro if high blood pressure can be 'cured'?

He doesn't even promise it can be lowered or controlled in everyone. It might be possible for some people to get off medication, but they would still need periodic visits to the chiropractor to stay off it. It seems to be different for different patients. The patients in the study I referred to had a misalignment of the Atlas, the first vertebra in the neck, at the beginning of the study. Not all people with high blood pressure have that problem. I only know that it's worked for me, but I'm still on medication for it too. > "fyfp...@gmail.com" wrote: > > > As mentioned in another thread, one trip to a chiropractor lowered my [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > pressure have that problem.

I read a book named "The Best Treatment" in which the author mentions, as I can recall, that those whose bp can be controlled by ACE inhibitor 'might' have their bp 'cured' by an operation that fixes a 'tube' in the kidney. Have you ever heard of that? > I read a book named "The Best Treatment" in which the author mentions, > as I can recall, that those whose bp can be controlled by ACE > inhibitor 'might' have their bp 'cured' by an operation that fixes a > 'tube' in the kidney. Have you ever heard of that? I recently had a scan of my kidneys done (MRI?) to see if there was something that was causing my blood pressure problem. The scan didn't show anything wrong, so I'm not a candidate for that type of surgery.
