Tinnitus is no laughing matter. If you’re a sufferer the constant ringing in the ears can disrupt every aspect of your life, from affecting your concentration to disrupting your sleep. And while there’s no confirmed long lasting cure, there are a number of products on the market which aim to reduce the symptoms and help make life more bearable.

This Tinnitus Relief Device is one of these, and it works by vibrating to ‘stimulate the auditory nerve‘. We haven’t tested it in action, but according to the blurb it helps to reduce stress, increase blood circulation and relax the nerves in the ear, thereby offering up to 2 hours relief from the noise after two minutes of treatment.

The gadget is small enough to fit in a pocket, so you can carry it around with you for regular relief sessions, and it works on a single AAA battery. Priced at $49.95. It may also help to read up on the subject, in which case a book like this Tinnitus No More may help.
