1 Tinnitus inging in the ears The most successful therapies for the self-treatment of: - tinnitus (ringing in the ears) - partial deafness due to tinnitus - morbus Menière (dizziness) - ear pressure - acute hearing loss - hearing distortion TinniTool S W I S S T E C H N O L O G Y

2 Sometimes an ear that is functioning normally suddenly becomes hyperactive. It produces a continuous, penetrating sound that deprives the affected persons of sleep and drives them to despair. Almost a quarter of the population has already experienced this buzzing in the ears. Nearly 10% hear these sounds in their ears uninterruptedly for five minutes or longer. And 3% suffer from chronic tinnitus. What should you do when it whistles, rings, roars or drones in your ear? At the subacute tinnitus level (more than 1 hour, at least once a week), holistic treatment is recommended and should be carried out promptly. Once tinnitus becomes chronic, the chances of a cure are decreased. Softlaser treatment and meditation therapy should be carried out at the same time. To combat sleep disturbances the treatment should also be expanded to include sleep therapy. The sound composition of this CD has the ability to mask your personal ear noise and let you fall asleep more easily at night. DisMark Ltd. has been working for years on the investigation of various inner ear disorders, such as partial deafness due to tinnitus, ear pressure, dizziness (morbus Menière, vertigo), acute hearing loss and hearing distortion. We have now developed an integrated procedure that for the first time allows affected persons to carry out the treatment conveniently and economically themselves. Since this is possible both at home and while travelling, the success rate is high because treatment can be carried out on a regular basis. More than affected persons have already been successfully treated in the meantime. Specific causes might be noise trauma (gunshots, loud music), acute hearing loss or an inflammation of the middle ear. In the same way as abnormal blood pressure or other metabolism disturbances, this may cause damage to the auditory system cells. Stress, muscle tension and a lack of sleep can also cause or exacerbate tinnitus. There are various forms of therapy that offer good chances of success either alone or in combination: In case of acute tinnitus (less than 1 hour, at least once a week) immediate action must be taken: Less stress, enough sleep, relaxation of tension, drinking enough water, finding a balance (work, family, leisure, sports). A daily 30-minute sound therapy procedure is recommended here. The sound therapy procedure first evaluates the ear ringing frequency and then generates a neutralizing frequency that is integrated in a special music composition. The affected person is provided with a customized audio-cd precisely designed to neutralize the specific ear-ringing frequency. If immediate measures are taken, such as soft laser treatment, acute tinnitus can be treated within three months. Treatment with the EarLaser is completely safe and painless. The laser beam even penetrates the deeper subcutaneous layers and works as curative bio-stimulation directly on the metabolism in the connective tissue to promote circulation and regenerate the auditory system cells. With chronic tinnitus (constant, already longer than a year) the ringing noise slowly engrains itself in the consciousness. There is less chance of a 100% recovery at this stage, but it not impossible. Softlaser therapy of the inner ear, the original source of the problem, can at least reduce the Tinnitus symptoms. To alleviate sound frequencies already stored in the brain, sound therapy combined with meditation and/or sleep therapy is recommended. Some promising new methods are available, primarily for improving the quality of life, such as nature sound masking. The Nature Masker helps to make the tinnitus noise recede into the background by overlaying it with sounds of nature from the environment. These sounds of nature distract from the noise in the ear and prevent it from engraining itself in the consciousness. Clinical Studies In 2006/2007 the Tinnitus treatment centre in the Piacenza Clinic ear nose and throat department carried out TinniTool EarLaser therapy on 40 Tinnitus patients in course of a double-blind study. 88% of these patients showed an improvement, and 63% showed a marked improvement. Professor Hahn s team at the medical faculty of the University of Prague carried out combined laser therapy with 120 persons. These patients had been suffering from tinnitus for more than ten years. 19.4% of patients experienced less than 50 percent relief from their tinnitus, 35.5% noted perceptible relief greater than 50 percent, and 25.8% of patients were totally free of tinnitus after therapy. The German Centre for Music Therapy Research (DZM) in collaboration with the University of Heidelberg tested an innovative music therapy treatment for chronic tinnitus. The treatment concept includes the incorporation of the tinnitus into a musically controllable hearing process. Furthermore, the musical hearing exercises should positively influence the altered brain areas and lead to normalisation. The results demonstrate encouraging successes.

3 Soft Laser Therapy Laser is the acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser is pure light energy. Lasers have been used in medicine for more than 30 years, during which time the application procedures have been continuously refined. Many disorders arise through a deficiency of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is a key substance in our cells. The mitochondria (cell power-plants) provide ATP energy for the cell processes through glucose combustion. ATP deficiency leads to cell damage and destruction in the end, but concentrated MedicLaser light (650 nm wavelength) stimulates glucose combustion to improve the ATP supply. The EarLaser therapy can therefore accelerate the regeneration of damaged cells in the auditory system. For a long time laser treatments have been used in hospitals for inner ear disorders, such as tinnitus, partial deafness due to tinnitus, ear pressure, dizziness (morbus Menière, vertigo), acute hearing loss and hearing distortion. This soft laser therapy (low level laser therapy) is an approved treatment. Because the treatment is lengthy and time-consuming, hospital stays are very expensive. For this reason a procedure has been developed that allows the affected persons to carry out the treatment at home themselves. The laser treatment underwent successful long-term testing in hospitals and in physician practices. It was submitted to extensive medical testing and has been proven scientifically by various medical studies. The safety and effectiveness of the EarLaser has been attested and certified medically. The principle of the EarLaser is to project the necessary energy from the softlaser concentratedly and precisely on the ailing area by means of an elaborate fibreglass cable. With the optimized EarLaser we set new standards for product quality and ease of handling. It fits on the head comfortably and the laser beam reaches the inner ear precisely. The optical fibreglass cable transmits the energy required safely and painlessly into the ear. This leads to rapid regeneration of the hearing cells, stimulation of the immune system, acceleration of cell division and activation of specific defensive molecules. An additional inner-ear treatment with laser-acupuncture increases the effect of the EarLaser. Detailed instructions for self-treatment are enclosed with the EarLaser. In the case of chronic tinnitus, sleep disturbances and difficulty in relaxation, the treatment should be accompanied by the acoustic therapy.

4 Sound Therapy Every audio frequency can be neutralized by its counter-frequency. This also applies to tinnitus frequencies. In coorperation with behavioural researchers, sounds were developed. Together with ENT specialists and hearing aid acousticians, all of the frequencies that mask tinnitus noises were evaluated. Music specialists brought these two sets of findings into harmony. The resulting compositions are then individually customized to the specific tinnitus frequencies affecting each patient. Each patient therefore receives a personalized audio-cd precisely formulated for neutralizing his or her specific tinnitus noises. Clinical trials show that after the first 30 minutes of use there can already be a positive effect on the perception of tinnitus noise. Sound therapy is especially promising as an accompanying therapy to softlaser treatment. The Sleep CD contains a sound composition that allows the affected person to fall asleep despite the tinnitus noise. Here the requirements for falling asleep were analysed and sounds developed that simulate the process of falling asleep. Instruments, key, frequency, audio sequence, heart and body rhythms were transposed exactly. The Meditation CD contains a sound composition that puts the body into the correct resonance vibration, decreases noise perception in the ear induces through the pleasant sound the desired relaxation in the affected person, promotes stress reduction and provides relief. If you do not yet know the frequency of the noise in your ear, please contact our customer service for a hearing test by telephone or take the hearing test on our homepage (you will find the phone number and homepage address on the last page).

Treatment time before falling asleep 30 minutes /day Operation playable with all traditional CD players To make falling asleep easier without being hindered by headphones or disturbed by loudspeakers, we recommend the MusicPad therapeutic sound pillow. Therapeutic Sound Pillow Tinnitus, often attributable to neck muscle stiffness, can result in sleep disturbances. The MusicPad therapeutic sound pillow can successfully treat both the cause and the effects of tinnitus. Together with our acoustic therapy CDs optimal results are attained. The MusicPad is fitted with two integrated stereo loudspeakers and connections for all currently available CD players, radio sets, stereo systems, etc. The orthopedically contoured pillow is washable and made of a high-tech elastic viscose material that ensures ideal pressure distribution at normal body temperature. This results in optimal positioning of the cervical vertebrae and the shoulder zone.

Then the tinnitus noise is automatically accentuated and directed to the centre of attention. The NatureMasker (with a selection of seven different nature sounds, such as ocean waves, the murmuring of a brook, rain, forest noises, the twittering of birds, heartbeats and other sounds) can make the Tinnitus noise recede into the background by overlaying it with natural sounds from the environment. The brain finds the sounds of nature more agreeable than tinnitus noise. These sounds distract from the noise in the ear and prevent it from engraining itself in the consciousness. The integrated timer is especially useful for falling asleep.
