Hygiene mistake that MOST of us make is triggering life-ruining tinnitus, expert warns

Daily Mail  

Hearing experts have warned against the popular habit of poking the ears with a cotton bud — as the beauty tool could damage the eardrum and even trigger hellish tinnitus. Frank, owner of Tinnitus Care Clinics, is raising awareness of the various common ways a person can inadvertently damage their hearing as part of Tinnitus Awareness Week. One of Frank's patients Brendan Farrell, from Drogheda, Ireland, suffered chronic tinnitus that caused him to be troubled by a constant sound akin to a very loud dog whistle. Frank's treatment for Brendan included a QNAS, a new type of method that involves using white noise devices to teach patients to 'tune out' of the irritating sound in their ears.
