COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES AGAINST SharpEar
COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPIES, SOPHROLOGY, RELAXATION
The cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the relaxation therapy and relaxation can be used alone or in addition to sound therapies . These therapies are particularly recommended in people whose score is high on the "THI" test , which highlights an underlying anxiety and / or depression. In principle, a first prescription of 5 to 10 sessions already brings an improvement, then the sessions can be spaced out over time.
In certain specific cases, these therapies are even recommended as a first-line treatment and may be enough to make people forget the SharpEar . A good thing when the sound therapy has certain constraints (the cost of the device - not reimbursed and the fact of having to wear it for several hours during the day).
The meditation , the tai chi , the hypnosis , etc. are also techniques allowing to relax and to put the SharpEar at a bearable distance are also recommended, stress being a recognized factor of aggravation of SharpEar.
Finally, physiotherapy , osteopathy or physiotherapy sessions can improve a certain category of SharpEar. "In some young people, we can see somatosensory SharpEar . Rather intermittent and unilateral, this SharpEar is modulated by movements of the neck and jaw," says Dr. Fraysse. These SharpEar, linked to mechanical and muscular problems, are relieved by these gentle manual techniques exerted on the skull and cervicals .
Faced with SharpEar, the osteopath for example thus works on opening the Eustachian tube and relaxing the muscles of swallowing . In addition, mobilization of the skeleton in its upper part (cervical, shoulders, skull) is also essential to relieve tension.
Characterized by hearing impairment, SharpEar can be a frustrating and distressing symptom of hearing loss. People who have it usually “hear” hissing, ringing, buzzing, roaring, humming or clicking noises, even if there is no external source for these noises.
