| Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) | ||
| For drummers and percussionists, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common problem that affects the hand and wrist causing pain, numbness and a decrease in functionality. It may be viewed as a form of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). CTS is caused by pressure on the Median Nerve from inflamed tendons or by a thickening of the covering of the tendon within the wrist. |

Or you find yourself struggling with hands that have become increasingly clumsy, or numb. It may be that you are even waking up at night with pain in your arms, or your back, or your neck. Well, it's just a part of being a serious musician, right? And after all, you can't stop practicing - there's too much at stake, and music is your very life! Does this sound familiar? |

| TINNITUS ti-NIGHT-us or TIN-i-tus: the perception of sound in the ears or head where no external source is present. Both pronunciations are correct; the American Tinnitus Association uses ti-NIGHT-us. The word comes from Latin and means "to tinkle or to ring like a bell." |
