Although there seems to be no direct
relation between eye condition and the development of
tinnitus, eye exercises for tinnitus
appear to have some influence over the
degree of auditory noise in some people. Experiences
that support this view none the less substantiates that
the exact nature of effect that eye exercises have over
the intensity of tinnitus can vary widely from person to
person. While some find the high pitch noise of tinnitus
reducing with eye movements, others might feel quite the
opposite. In some instances individuals have been known
to be able to modulate the pitch and loudness of noise
with eye movements.
There have been enough reports to
suggest that since certain types of repetitive movements
can at least alleviate the condition of tinnitus, it
might be worth a try to explore the possibilities after
consultations with a doctor to rule out the more serious
nature of tinnitus
–
that might require surgery for example.
Yoga Eye Exercises for
Tinnitus Relief:
The following eye exercises
are an excellent way of
acquiring control over eye
muscles.
- Sit
comfortably with your back erect and head held high.
Take couple of deep breaths and relax. Remember not to
move your head or neck at all during the
exercises.
- Focus
your eyes at a point far away from you (preferably
outside the window if you are next to one) and shift
focus quickly to the tip of your nose; Repeat five
times.
- Shift
eyes up to look at a spot on top – directly above you;
and shift gaze quickly to a spot on the floor
(directly below). Repeat five
times.
- Now
do the next five exercises moving eyes from extreme
left to right.
- In
the last set of exercises, roll your eyes clockwise to
form a full circle five times and repeat going the
other way around.
- Now
to give the eye some rest, rub your palms together and
cover your closed eyes for a few seconds. Repeat three
times.
These exercises can tone up the eye muscles
very well and for
those of you who find relief through eye modulation, it
could work wonders. Besides, the exercises are excellent
for the eyes themselves. It can never be over emphasized
that the only fool proof course of treatment for
tinnitus is an overall holistic approach to the body’s
health.
