Diese exemplarische biographische Aufarbeitung eines Tinnitusbetroffenen und zugleich Facharztes weist einen erfolgversprechenden Weg auf, sich von diesem Leiden zu befreien.


Millions of Germans suffer under beeping, ringing, whistling, humming sounds and white noise of their ears. These ear noises are subsumed under the generic term: tinnitus. If no organic causes can be found, traditional medical treatments hardly ever help. The author knows about both sides: He is an ENT-specialist and a person affected by tinnitus. In his book Michael Zimmer points out new ways of dealing with tinnitus: The reappraisal with your own biography and development of personality can lead to a psychological change. Ongoing tensions can be resolved and the tormenting ear noise disappears. If the tinnitus reoccurs, it can be seen as a signal for disagreeable behaviour and not as an enemy.

Dr. med. Michael Zimmer ist HNO-Arzt und Allergologe in privater Praxis in Göttingen.
