There are a number of different ways to measure the impact of tinnitus on your life. These include:
• how intrusive it is
• how easily you relax
• how well you sleep
• your ability to hear others
• how often you have feelings of anxiety
You’ll know when Oto starts to work for you. Maybe you’ll notice your tinnitus less, or it might seem softer. You’ll probably find it easier to sleep and concentrate. Overall you’ll experience more ‘good’ tinnitus days than ‘bad’.
Have patience. Gently remind yourself that you can learn to manage your tinnitus, and keep going.
