How does it work?
The causes of tinnitus are usually attributed to stress or disturbances in blood circulation and lack of oxygen supply in the inner ear. Stress aggravates a condition but is never the cause. Something that is weak weakens even more through stress and comes to break through or worsen. The diffuse causes do not make therapy for tinnitus easy.
If stress were the cause, all people with stress would have the same problem: tinnitus. Circulatory disorders are just as unlikely and infusions based on them are completely superfluous and even dangerous. There is no blood in the inner ear and therefore the oxygen conditions there play a completely different role.
There is no conclusive explanation for the causes of tinnitus, which is why patients in tinnitus clinics are trained to come to terms with the problem. To do this, they learn autogenic training and listen to relaxation music. This does not make anything better, but at least does not add to the damage. Existing technical aids, such as “noisers” or filtered music, serve to superimpose another sound on the tinnitus tone or to unlearn it. These methods also usually prove to be unsuccessful.
We have therefore tried to derive the complex of causes for tinnitus from a functional connection. Functions in the mouth and throat area, nasal breathing, mouth closure and head balance have a decisive influence on all other functions that are located in the area of the head and neck – with effects on the whole body. You will notice the effects on the ear, for example, when swallowing or yawning. The middle ear is ventilated in the process. This process takes place about 2,000 times a day because people swallow repeatedly over a 24-hour period (even without eating). If this mechanism cannot be optimally adjusted, problems arise. Children often get middle ear infections, nasal polyps (adenoid growths), colds, etc. In adolescence and adulthood, the problems change. Affected people become sensitive to noise (hyperacusia), get so-called “hearing drops” (i.e. they have the feeling of hearing through a cotton plug in the ear), they hear worse and/or get tinnitus.
Tinnitus - Subjektiv oder objektiv. Das muss man wissen, um ihn los zu werden!
Tinnitus has many different manifestations. It presents itself both as a briefly disturbing noise, but also as a chronic burden that does not disappear again without further ado. It also exists as a subjective and objective version. If the affected person perceives the disturbing noise, beeping, ringing, rushing, exclusively himself, it is called a subjective sensation. If, on the other hand, the noise can also be measured or heard by others, it is comprehensible and is considered to be objectively present. In both cases, the health burden can range from mild to extreme. Even severe depression is one of the consequences. Explanations of the causes of tinnitus are vague and treatment approaches are considered “fishing in the mud”. It always begins with a mostly unsuccessful investigation odyssey. Diagnosis and treatment often become a torture. Expectations of improvement descend deeper into resignation with each failure. From our point of view, the tinnitus symptom has to be assigned to a special complex of causes. For this, deviating basic functions must be fundamentally corrected. We explain such correlations and point out our treatment concept based on them. We are pleased that many of those who had long since lost faith in effective help have already been able to achieve the seemingly unattainable success through their own initiative and consistent application of our training therapy
With FACEFORMER therapy, we correct a general underlying disorder that affects all functions of the head region. As a result, all other symptoms of the disease are also positively influenced. In other words, we treat a dominant cause and correct the symptoms triggered by it. Tinnitus is a typical effect of this complex of causes, which is unfortunately little known.
Very many patients have been able to free themselves from tinnitus through the FACEFORMER therapy. However, this does not work overnight, as the FACEFORMER therapy is a training programme. However, this is the only way to achieve functional changes. You have to practise the correct way until you have learned the correct way and unlearned the wrong way. This is worthwhile, however, as the success remains stable afterwards, even if you stop practising.
The FACEFORMER therapy is based on neuroscientific research results of learning: Exercises have been reduced to a minimum and the exercise sequence is repeated in the same pattern.
Successes with tinnitus are often only felt by those affected when the sound they hear has completely disappeared. For too long they have built up fears and tried many things that did not help, in order to consider stress reductions as positive beforehand. Such, however, continuously go hand in hand with the FACEFORMER therapy and improvements should lead to a strengthening of the motivation to continue the therapy. “You have finally found the right way to eliminate the problem!”
Depending on how long the tinnitus has existed, the sound, although attenuated, may still be perceived for up to a year. This should be accepted. Exercise programmes are never quick fixes, but they are effective and the condition achieved remains stable. After all, the daily training effort is very small.

The ear - tinnitus, middle ear infections, tube problems and much more. - Cause and help
In this article we are dedicated to the ear and hearing. Only rarely are the real causes of ear problems and hearing disorders recognised. Usually only symptoms are treated, but they soon reappear and get worse. We explain the correlations and help.
Gaping tubes, tinnitus - Ear ventilation: when it goes wrong and how to correct it
Today we will again focus on the ear, this time in relation to the Eustachian tube and how correct swallowing provides ventilation there.
Tinnitus - Which therapy really helps?
Many people simply cannot get rid of it: tinnitus. Not infrequently, it brings the person in charge close to insanity. Unfortunately, however, nonsensical therapies are used in the treatment, from our point of view. We explain why.
