I FINALLY CURED MY TINNITUS..

Ok so i was at the club last friday for my cousins buffday, i had fun, until the morning after...
most saturday mornings like this are usually incurred with headaches and hangovers, but this saturday was exceptional, i woke up with this constant high pitched whining sound in my ears, i felt so uncomfortable. i then realised it had to do with last night event, the loud music from the club.
So i decided to do a little research on the cause and for a possible cure.. this was on the third day mind you.. oh yes, 3 days of an unplesant ringing noise which was driving me nuts, firstly i was able to understand that such noise in the ears is called TINNITUS. heres more.....

hTinnitus /ˈtɪnɪtəs/; from the Latin word tinnītus meaning "ringing" is the perception of sound within the human ear not including the perception of sound outside the ear.

Tinnitus is not a disease, but a condition that can result from a wide range of underlying causes: neurological damage (multiple sclerosis), ear infections, oxidative stress, foreign objects in the ear, nasal allergies that prevent (or induce) fluid drain, wax build-up, and exposure to loud sounds. Withdrawal from benzodiazepines may cause tinnitus as well.

Tinnitus may be an accompaniment of sensorineural hearing loss or congenital hearing loss, or it may be observed as a side effect of certain medications (ototoxic tinnitus). However, the most common cause is noise-induced hearing loss.

Characteristics.

Tinnitus can be perceived in one or both ears or in the head. It is usually described as a ringing noise, but in some patients, it takes the form of a high-pitched whining, electric buzzing, hissing, humming, tinging or whistling sound, or as ticking, clicking, roaring, "crickets" or "tree frogs" or "locusts (cicadas)", tunes, songs, beeping, sizzling, sounds that slightly resemble human voices or even a pure steady tone like that heard during a hearing test, and in some cases, pressure changes from the interior ear. It has also been described as a "whooshing" sound because of acute muscle spasms, as of wind or waves. Tinnitus can be intermittent, or it can be continuous, in which case it can be the cause of great distress.

Now heres the catch, Although i had gotten a full understanding on tinnitus to an extent. i wasnt entirely satisfied, i needed to find a way to stop it, it had to be further research or my moringa leaf.. then i came across an article by doctor Jan Strydom, which goes as thus...

One should always understand that we are all different so that it it impossible to suggest a single form of treatment that will work in every case and for every person. however, there is a very simple technique that has often shown to be effective in many cases of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) any person who is afflicted by this very unplesant condition would do well to at least gibe this simple technique a try.

To perform this technique, put the palms of your hands over your ears. The fingers are on the back of the head. The middle fingers point towards each other and are on the base of the skull just above the point where the skull ends. Now lift the index fingers and place them on top of the middle fingers and then snap the index fingers off the middle fingers so that they beat the skull like a drum. In fact, with your hands covering your ears, the sound may be quite loud and may indeed sound like the beating of a drum. 
Repeat the drumming about 40 to 50 times. Depending on the severity of the condition, one could repeat the technique several times a day.

Youth Empowerment & ICT Foundation sponsored by Jim Ovia....... MY MEMOIR

Social Media Awareness: "the good the bad and the ugly"

Ok so i got to civic centre an hour late and fortunately for me they hadn't started.

I did my necessary documentation with the beautiful ushers at the door, for a moment I actually thought I was at a beauty pageant

Anyway, the show got started by 11am and was anchored by basket mouth who got everybody in the audience laughing at his jokes and on point pitch.

He introduced the head of IT zenith bank, Lanre Aina of google Nigeria, chudi from y naija/future awards, captain from @giditraffic who was represented and the VP of James Hope College.

The head of IT zenith bank gave the opening remark.

The next speaker was chudi from y naija/future awards, where he talked about why social media exist. He made us understand that power has changed from institution, corporate bodies etc to an individual with a phone or better still a social media user.

The next speaker was Lanre Aina of google Nigeria

His key points where

·         The world is your oyster

·         The amateur rule

·         Consumer have Become participants and co creators

·         Subscribers are everything

·         If content is king, video is crowned prince

It was fun filled and very educative, @giditraffic was represented and a great deal of information was passed across to us relating to the usefulness of its twitter handle to our (social media users) daily life concerning traffic in Lagos  and a whole lot more

“ if a person gives you a laptop, computer or a Smart phone don’t thank the person yet, until he gives you a high speed internet” Jim Ovia

Indeed, Mr. Jim Ovia gave away 1000 blackberry smart phones and about 400 laptop with 1 year high speed internet to those present. Basically for the primary/secondary school students.

The next speaker was Miss Uche Pedro from bellanaija.com who talked basically on social media headlines

Jim Ovia told the speakers to lay emphasis on the negative aspect of social media which miss pedro took lead by explaining in detail the story of Cynthia who got the bitter pill via the social media and how our headline should be talked about in positive terms. She topped it up with a word of advice to the younger ones that in the world of internet there is no delete button…. That’s something to ponder on..

The next speaker was Mr. Malcolm Phillip the principal of James Hope College, who took the stand to talk about how young people need education to transgress as the IT world transgresses.

The last speaker was the manager of visafone who made us understand that by achieving what we want to achieve in a small way, it will eventually lead to something big overtime.

Finally, basket mouth vote of thanks was top notched, he described Mr Ovia way of empowering the mind of everyone present, not by giving cash physically but mentally, cos the mind is priceless..

A big thank you to Mr Ovia for this youth empowerment scheme, and I just hope other top shot in Nigeria follow his footsteps..

I sure had fun and I was empowered positively…. Its bye for now
