Hélène Hendriks struggles with tinnitus. In ‘Vandaag Inside’s’ Orange Summer, the blonde presenter talks about her problem.
Hendriks contracted tinnitus from an appendectomy, which left her not only scarred but also with an annoying sound in her ears. “I also have a squeak, so you go to a doctor or a physician and they say, learn to live with it,” she said.
“It may be different for everyone, but the moment you are less aware of it then you almost don’t hear it,” she continued about a possible solution. “And you only become less aware of it when you have less stress and maybe start meditating.”
“I was never about that either, but I started doing it and it does work. And I have an app on my phone and I turn it on every night before I go to sleep. That little sound masks the beep. It’s crickets and that’s the same pitch as the beep. This issue really concerns me because I know a lot of people are affected,” Hendriks concludes.
