"The hearing of sounds which have no external source."
As a tinnitus sufferer, I was interested to learn how to 'Silence Tinnitus Today!' and stop this intrusive irritation. Unfortunately, this brief audio fails to live up to the title, merely touching on some possible causes of the condition and, after suggesting that there was really no definitive way, or medicine, which could remove the noises in the ear, still emphasizes the need to take the problem to a doctor for diagnosis.
There are numerous reasons why someone would suffer from tinnitus, from living constantly with loud noise for prolonged periods to cancerous tumours or high blood pressure. Or something less tangible, like depression. And some 360,000,000 world wide are believed to be sufferers, with one in five adults developing it, or three in five U.S.army veterans. That's a lot of people. Pity that there seems not to be a useful solution.
The narration of the video was, frankly, poorly done. Although enthusiastic in his reading, Jeremy Bohn frequently stumbled over medical terms and phrases, struggling with individual words. It made the text even more difficult to follow. I had requested this brief book and was freely gifted with a complimentary copy by the rights holder. Thank you. However, hard to follow and not addressing the title, I would not recommend this book to anyone seriously wanting to deal with, or learn more about, the problem.

I was given the opportunity to listen to this short article by the publisher and am choosing to review it.
As a person who has suffered from tinnitus for over 40 years, I am always looking for more information and possible treatments/solutions. However, this really didn't tell me anything new.
The title is very misleading. This does not give the listener any real ways to stop the ringing in your ears. It is more of a description of possible causes and definitions than a way to stop or help tinnitus. Most of the treatments were of the "talk therapy" kind, making me think that the author is suggesting that tinnitus is a psychological problem in most cases.
I have a lot of medical training since I am a Veterinarian and EMT, so the constant mispronunciations of many of the medical terms was especially annoying. If you are going to narrate something with specific terminology, at least try to pronounce the words correctly! I had a hard time figuring out what some of the words were supposed to be.
All in all, if you get this for free, give it a listen. Otherwise, don't waste your time.
