LOVE your videos. I was diagnosed on September 7th and FREAKED OUT and my tinnitus was at a 10+. I was in a week of HELL. The following week I met with my long time therapists and he shook the SHIT out of me and shared with me A LOT of what your sharing with me and the second week, I can barely notice the Tinnitus. I chose to TAKE MY POWER BACK from Tinnitus. Thanks for videos and positive messages.
Brent Scarpo: YUP! That's what I'm talking about! I have had it for a year and four months, and initially freaked out, and nose-dived into depression and worrying about it. Then I went through all the steps we all go through, trying to figure out the cause and the cure. The main cure I have discovered is to NOT freak out, and to realize that this is brought on largely by stress, and as Julian says, a learned fight or flight response. Now that I know that, I am so relaxed about it, sleep well at night, and when I notice it, I just ignore it and go on with my day, and I don't let it bother me.
Allenidus nothing is impossible my friend. You have it within you. You tell Tinnitus what you are going to do about it. It’s a total mind, body and soul thing. Incantation of saying I will lead a happy and fulfilling life. Make external changes also along with taking care of your physical health. Let’s use Tinnitus as the wake up call we all need to a better happier quieter life. God bless
RocCity Plowing & Lawncare Inc, amazing how illness makes us look at ourselves on a deeper level. I meditate but hubby says my mind never stops. This has definitely woken me up to take my meditation more into my daily life.
This is so true... during the first month of this I was in panic mode.. not sleeping, exhausted, full of anxiety and negative thoughts, ruminating over how it happened, what if it never ends? etc etc. but once I made a strong commitment to myself that I would try as hard as I can to focus on the positive, to remember that there is hope, there are people who described tinnitus as bad as mine who are now in a way better place after habituating to it. I choose to shift my attention whenever I notice the dark thoughts creeping in, I keep myself busy, I take care of my body, I don't avoid socialising and activities I like. I am still learning more techniques to keep more calm and I'm not all the way there yet, but even in a few weeks of making that commitment I have noticed a difference to my life. I can go hours without noticing the sound, and it often sounds more quiet. Don't lose hope!!! I was an absolute basket case a month ago and I'm already doing much better. It gives me hope that I can get to a really good place if I keep it up.
My tinnitus started two years ago in April of 2015. It would come and go for about a month, then one day I was reading the news paper and my tinnitus started and hasn't stopped since. Exercising, drinking a lot of water, and staying busy helps a lot.
after 13 years, my tinnitus has suddenly increased quite drastically and its causing me immense anxiety and even depression. I've watched nearly all your videos and they're gradually restoring some of my confidence. Thank for posting these encouraging videos Julian, they're helpful and much appriciated.
Have you tried listening to sound therapy treatments? You can just pull some up on youtube and fall asleep to them. That at least helped mine a little. I sincerely hope the best for you! It's definitely a difficult thing to be struggling with.
you should get an allergy test, i got an allergy test, turns out i was slightly intolerant to milk, i know i sounds stupid, i thought it was too, i stopped eating food with milk and after 2 months it was A LOT better !
after watching this video my tinnitus reduced like howww 😭 thank youu for this video my tinnitus came back after 3 years or depression and anxiety there is a cure for everything guys, we have to believe it, believe that our body can heal itself, meditation yoga, music therapy good night sleep, healthy diet can cure it I pray that one day we will be free from tinnitus. God bless us all
@@attiqkhan2370 its takes so much time to get rid of it permanently...the only thing that works and i recommend it to everyone is music therapy, binaural beats, meditation. There are so many vids, so I created a playlist and I usually use the brain healing ones and I can see results. I read a comment on YT and the person writing it explained perfectly what tinnitus is. To sum up it was some sort of brain damage not the hearing one. 1 time I got tinnitus came from not sleeping regularly for 1 month due to stress and panic attacks. Through music therapy got rid of it. Then about 2 year later depression hit me so tinnitus started to how up again. My sleep routine was a mess so the pulsating tinnitus on my right ear came out of nowhere. Sorry for writing so much but trust me when I say doctors and pills cant help you, cuz I tried them. One of the docs I went he said that my hearing is very bad. Later I went to another doc did another hearing test and she said "who lied to you about your hearing". If you are suffering too from tinnitus it will go away. If you use the binaural beat and feel any tingling or vibration around the head it means that is working. Might be placebo effect but who care as long as it works.
YaoiCat thank you so much buddy.you know what I gone through the same thing as yours,got stress for whole one month than got deep headache, went to the gp,and he diagnosed me with sinus infection and prescribed me some antibiotics,Right after finished that course I got this tinnitus.
YaoiCat but I don’t get it that how this antibiotic tablets cause t,what I thought is that when you don’t need any medicine but you still take it than it’s give you reaction(side affect)my ear got blocked for three days but it’s open back again and than the sound start coming.
To those of you without someone who understands, I understand! It's terrible. Do listen to Julian, great advice. I made these mistakes, panic, fear...... but you CAN recover, be calm.
i'm suffering from Hyperacusis and totally agree with avoiding all negative advices that it will not go away!! this is devastating. here in Holland, the so-called KNO specialists that are supposed to help you, are notorious for telling people this "learn to live with it.. next!" you gotta be kidding.. Fortunatley, later by persisting I ended up with an special therapist helping people with ear problems. She has been my angel the first few months after suffering from it. lots of what Julian says also applies to hyperacusis. dont give up people, it can feel like hell, but it will heal. thanks Julian.
I had tinnitus for over 2 years. I also thought of ending my life until i came across an article on a doctor who cured someone named Carolina. I copied the doctor's email address and contacted him. I got his medicine and for more than 5 months now after using the medicine i can finally sleep. No more ringing. You can also reach him through his email. Drmakindeherbalhome@gmail.com
I sent this to my friend who has tinnitus and hyperacusis like myself. I have gotten through the whole doom and gloom stage of early tinnitus, hyperacusis and hearing loss. I'm doing much better, my T went to a low baseline and my Hyperacusis has dropped significantly (of course on top of sound enrichment). Anyone reading this comment, take what he is saying to heart. It works. Its hard to tell people to just "calm down" and he convey's that message perfectly. Thank you Mr. Hill.
This is the best advice I have ever heard regarding tinnitus or just about any other illness. Do not listen to nay sayers, doom and gloom. There is always hope of improvement and also of adaptation. Thank you so much for your kind and brilliant insight.
Thanks for the reply bruh! Dang, you habituated in less than a month? That's impressive! Took me about 7. I'm breaching to a year now, so I'm at the point where idc no more lol. Not only that, Frequency therapeutics keeps me going. It's a company working on reversing hearing loss who literally already have a cure, their just working on licensing for trial on humans. It's a good time to be alive. Thanks to Stem Cell research. I actually got my T for accidentally shooting off my Revolver inside a room on my left ear, stupid me lol. 6 months later i started developing pulsatile tinnitus on my right ear after a ear infection. Fuck me right? But it ain't nothing. Life's good, and I only got one life to live. I'ma keep doing me
My right eye has been ringing for 5 months. So what I've done, is to wear hearing protection at all times. And eat better food, and drinking water more, and sleeping longer. This Morning for the first time, the buzzing in my ear has gone down 50%, plus cutting back on sugar too!! It does help.
I've had mine for 6 months. Just got this recent ear infection and it got a bit louder... Dieting has nothing to do with your T. I've noticed my T just naturally goes down in the morning, because your body is well rested. I noticed my T always spike when i talk about it. It sucks \:
I always love to comment on new videos to make any people looking at these comments aware that this is loaded with truth. Thanks as always for the video, Julian. I can say with confidence that this is true, and it has helped me on my path to getting better with T. If I had listened to the SEVERAL ENT doctors I've seen, I honestly don't know where I'd be. Please listen to Julian, or at least keep your mind open - it might be just what you need if you're suffering.
Well all you said is true, when I feel anxiety or over excited my Tinnitus come back. But if I relax myself, my Tinnitus decreasing. And eventually it's gone. To cure Tinnitus don't listen to loud noice, and drink Vitamin B for your auditory nerves. And relax, don't panic, because it can worst. This video is good explanation to what I exactly do.
So happy to find Julian, Have been having extreme bouts of Tinnitus subjective and objective for 8 months .Have recently changed my diet to avoid refined sugars and plain salt. I do live in a home that does create acoustic noise which exacerbates my level of comfort and adds to the low frequency hum and the high static tinnitus I already have had for a long time. The Low frequency is the worst to deal with as it is only in my right ear. Sleeping at night is the worst. Fear and constant worry is also not productive. A recent visit to the ENT did little help, I was given a prescription for nasal steroid spray to help calm down a possible eustachian tube disfuncthion. Basically he brushed me off as a regular Tinnitus patient and offered no help other than move from your current location to a quieter less noisy part of town. I'm sure many of you have gone through this scenario and felt lost and forgotten with no help in site. This forum is a wonderful way to connect and hopefully be understood by fellow sufferers. Thank you Julian !
Thank you Julian. I find that when I think about all the good things that I have in my life, as well as feel grateful for them, it gives me inner peace. I wish you and anyone reading this the same feelings of calmness, peace, joy, and love.
Honestly brother god bless you, I’ve had tinnitus since I was 8 years old 23 now. Literally forgot about it, out of nowhere I remembered and it got loud, I’m moving next month, I have so much going on, and it’s probably what triggered it, I’ve found that it’s like a negative thought, the more we try to focus on letting it go, the worse it gets, I tell you all IT WILL GET BETTER! let go of it, act like you don’t even have it. I promise!!!
You are so right, the same with me.. I have it 5 years after my father padt away from cancer , then I was struggling my self became worst , the last 2 years I almost forgot was there but I couldn't even hear it.After 3 weeks extremely stres , I said to me "calm down you gonna get loud T, once more, ", thinking the first day I got it , and suddenly 3 days ago buzzing extremely now, like the first time before 5 years... I have a philosophy about that.. If we can increase or decrease the T, then we can find way to stop it... Mind Games. . Thx God julian is here

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING AFTER BEING DIAGINOSED 7 YEARS AGO I WAS SCARED TO DEATH OF TINNITUS I TRIED RUNNING FROM IT EVERYTHING YOU DESCRIBED IS ME I HAVE ANXIETY PTSD DEPRESSION IM NOT SLEEPING WELL AT ALL.I WISH THAT I HAD OF SEEN THIS VIDEO 6 YERAS AGO TO HELP ME BETTER UNDERSTAND TINNITUS THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH YOUR VIDEOS HAVE HELPED ME SO VERY MUCH'
Hey, listen to this guy!! I got T ten years ago, this guy helped me just by listening to him. I switched off and it’s not gone but it totally does not bother me, I embraced it and it blends in. Honestly I was so freaking out at first but this guy made me realise it’s not going to kill me and to make friends with T , it works. Bollocks to it that’s the thought process. 👍
Julian....You need to do a TedTalk man. You're every sufferers hope! I've watched most of your videos and you have brought me from despair to hope within a matter of days. You are truly an inspiration and I would hazard a guess that you have saved many people from complete darkness. Big love x
Really glad to hear this has helped you. A positive mindset, sense of clarity and understanding really help tinnitus back off. Thanks for sharing. This helps others too!
I keep coming back to your videos Julian. They helped me immensely back in 2013 when I got the sudden onset of high pitched T and hyperacusis on top of that. Your words mean alot to many of us. This condition is still a tuff challenge and it's life changing but not at the same massively scary level as in the beginning. The biggest mystery is still hyperacusis. Good to see that your still sharing your knowledge. Keep up the good work and please continuous! Your theories on stress and how it affects T&H is something I can relate to big time.
Im a medical student, i had tinnitus for almost 2 years. When i first got diagnosed with tinnitus, the first month was bad, the doctors put me on a lot of treatment and there was like a 30% improvement but did not help at alot...i slowly got adapted too it, i started watching julians videos which helped me A LOT! After like 2 months, i was more calm and less worrying towards it which led me afterwards to a whole year and a half of not noticing it at all!! Super amazing! But yesterday i was so tired lying in bed trying to sleep, and mistakenly focusing on it, it got activated..i panicked and remembered how i was in the beginning... now its much better, i realized FEAR triggers it badly, i stopped fearing it, and it reduced to like 50% to where it doesnt bother me as much. Also wanting to try some cst! How many sessions do it need?
Julian you're an angel , your videos calmed me down and allowed me to regain self control even when the ringing was terrible. I still have it after 3 weeks but I'm starting to have days of quiet and am no longer panicking when it arises. For those who feel stuck just remember your body needs to heal, be patient with it. Do everything you can to lower your vibration and get a lot of sleep and practice deep breathing.
Dear mr. Hill, it's a lot of don'ts :-). I have experience my tinnitus since i had a lot of job stress, 2 yrs ago. Since then it kept increasing on frequent basis. Mostly on midday after lunch time. The sound is a very high continuous tone like an aircraft alternator or high speed fan. After noticing this very annoying sound in my head i consulted my general practitioner. After that i had several research at the hospital and sound therapies. This all without any results. Last March i went for a 5 days holiday and after 3 days at location i noticed a reduction of the loudness in my head and it was less frequent. This made me so happy after almost 2 yrs of annoying loudness sound in my head. I appreciate your perseverance in believe that tinnitus can get better and even disappear. Keep up the spirit, thumbs up!
Truly on the mark. I usually have no tinnitus when relaxed. Sometimes I do but high stress always proceeds it. I do take a daily medication that can cause tinnitus, but definitely, it comes on strongest when I'm stressed or very tired or both. One thing that helps me. Meditation. Meditation is just sitting quietly in a quiet place gently trying to think just one thought at a time. It's easy and free...but the mindset is key. If you don't believe it can work, it won't. Counting each breath one at a time up to 10 then starting over, focusing on each number only but not forcing that. Other thought swill come. It's basically impossible for humans to think one thought at a time. Just gently refocus on the numbers and let the extraneous thought fade. Don't be surprise if you notice, I just counted to 23 and forgot to start over. LOL. I was taught this in a college class by a professor who said, consciousness is the dance of a thousand drunken monkeys. LOL. He was qouting Confucius I think. Always thought Confucius had a rather unfortunate name, given he was trying to be all about clarity. LOL.
Very good. I think we have a tendency to think the situation with our bodies is 10 times worse than it is, or will inevitatably turn out to be horrible. This results is that the situation just gets worse because of the added stress. I will do everything to calm down. I believe that will help.Thank you so much for this reminder of reality.
I suffered ringing in my ears for 3 years after a loud indoor concert. Then it completely disapeared. I had no tinnutus for 2 years. Now just recently I didnt wear my custom earplegs to some live music. A good hour I exposed myself to inside a small hall and the ringing and hyperacusis has returned. I have to stop beating myself up about it. I have to move on and let my body heal again. Im taking tart cherry extract pills 2 hours before bed for sleep and B-12 in morning for positive mood.
Just by listening to you being positive helps with the tinnitus. The ringing started two weeks ago. I was under a lot of emotional stress, in a complicated moment in my life, and one day I was cooking and the fire alarm in my apartment went off. I got close to turn it off, uncovered my ears and heard one loud beep. After that my ears felt warm and too sensitive and the ringing started after a while. I definitely see how stress worsens it so I'm trying to stay calm. I was put on prednisone one week after which calmed the sensitivity but the ringing is still there one after having started the prednisone.
This gentleman knows what he is talking about. For those of you coming across this video in your first weeks/months of tinnitus, we understand what you are going through. It will get better, it doesn't go away, but you can learn not to let it rule your life, stressing and focusing on it is what is happening right now because it's new to you. Most importantly for me was to get rest, to sleep. I wish all who suffer with it the best, stay strong.
It does go away though! For many. Please don't add more negative attitude about it, because it really does cease to be an issue for millions of people.
Late to the thread here. I know what you’re saying and appreciate you being positive, but telling people it “doesn’t go away” is NOT what people need to hear. It does go away. For many actually. It’s literally the whole sentiment of what Julian is saying.
This is my first week with full blown tinnitus. I'm beginning to feel hopeful and kind of looking forward to going through the habituation process. Thank you for sharing your experience and advice.
@@JohnSmith-cq7lk Still there but I'm fully habituated. Even when it's loud I don't spend any time thinking about it. It's purely background noise now. I also have huge eye floaters which I thought I would never get used to. I hardly ever think about those either. It's amazing how your brain adapts to inescapable annoyances by shutting them out. It's also given me a much better attitude about the aging process. You just get used to it.
Dear Julian, Your video had been really helpful. 4 different throat nose ear doctors told me that there is nothing that can be done on tinnitus and in fact they were wrong. A psicologist was the First person that helped me. In germany we say that doctors are lousy psicotherpists.they should be teach in psicology as well.I have my noises wit pmr Progressive muscle relaxation. Loads of moving at fresh air, taking of stress in my life. And eliminating all negative things off my life. Thank you for helping us. Keep on doing this. Dankeschön. Toni from Frankfurt germany
Thank you for all the information. Thank you for the hope. I've had tinnitus for almost 2 years now. I believe mine started with a health scare. After that I quit smoking which was extremely difficult and stressful. Then covid came. I already have GAD / panic. I know I've been living in a constant state of heightened anxiety. I hope l can overcome this
Hoi ik heb af en toe last van geluid van linker oor ik had angst gekregen kon slecht slapen elke keer als ik ging liggen werden het erger dat geluid maar na dat ik corona heftig hebt gehad en buiten met wind en me oren en zwemmen schade heeft gekregen en stress van me gezin we moeten eten en veel drinken niet veel suiker en zout en wat helpt is thuis yoga doen eerst even wat drinken en bewegen zet je lekker een matje neer en spullen waar je mee kan bewegen zoals je nek armenje kan op UA-cam kijken en sporten buiten deur sauna nemen gewoon je zelf verwennen geloof me word heel minder de klachten gaat zelf weg en lig niet wakker om mensen die het niet waard zijn enzovoort zoek toevlucht naar God en neem alleen positieve mensen en vermijd negatieve mensen ik mer bij me zelf wat deze meneer zegt gewoon de stres niet boven je hoofd Maar onder je lichaam doen en als je gaat slapen mischien lichte slaap middel nemen of slaapthee wie weet helpt dat allemaal en rusten succes mensen
You have given me confidence that perhaps all my problems stem from this very thing. Which means I may be able to turn my entire life around by calming down my nervous system. I really hope this path is right. Back to my daily TRE session. Thanks. (by the way, out of severe tinnitus louder than cars driving past, strong visual snow, and cpps, cpps affects me the worst, it's literally traumatic on a second to second basis)
25 years of tinnitus. I've tried ALL these ideas plus. Everything I have tried has not worked. Concentrating on it in any fashion only makes you more aware of it. I use a 1 hour UA-cam tinnitus video at night while lying in bed, not all the time, sometimes. It has helped me to fall asleep, but it is very temporary and never stops the noise. In 25 years, I have experienced a few brief seconds where the tinnitus totally stops. But they are very rare. I just deal with it and move on. I do appreciate your video and your positive attempt to help those with tinnitus.
What is your lifestyle like? Do you work, what is your job like? Do you drink alcohol, eat sugar, eat processed foods? What are your relationships like? Is there anyone close to you that is extremely negative and who you often worry about or fight with, or who makes you feel unsupported? All these questions are invaluable for anyone with tinnitus.
Hey there! I can help you here. Ive had it since birth and i have a realy good method. Listen to your bloodstream and breathing. Mane some mininois like scratching your pillow when trying to sleep. I uaialy do this and i get distracted from it and fall asleep. Hope this helped man
I've had it for a bit over a year now. When I first found out I had it I thought I was going to lose my mind. But after falling asleep to a lot of sound therapies, and trying to make healthier choices for myself (going to bed earlier, drinking more water, etc.) I have found that it has been reduced. I still hear it when the room is dead silent, and still have quite a bit of anxiety, but it has gotten better. I also owe a lot to seeing the chiropractor because of my TMJ and a fan that I always keep in my room lol. Now I only feel the need to listen to sound therapies once every few months or so, just to keep it in check. Just keep trying treatments. As someone who has it, I understand how hard this is, but don't give up ever. :)
Thank you very much for all of your videos, they give so much understanding and hope to avoid freaking out and understanding the situation in order to get better. I am a singer that suffers from hyper-acoustics and tinnitus. I had anxiety attacks and panic attacks for years and I don't have them any longer. Everything you just said in this video is exactly what helped me through my panic attacks when I had them a year ago. Stress can trigger so many parts of our body and the best medicine is to always be patient, don't freak out when you are in discomfort and it is amazing how our body heals; as the very same things that caused it is the very same thing that shuts it down 👍
You're so awesome, Julian! You help so many people. I'm sharing your channel on another video where folks were posting all kinds of negative and hopeless comments. I want to help them too. I have had mine for about a year and a half and it's really okay, I am on my way to finding balance again, I am no longer really upset about it, and I have many many days when it totally goes away and other days I forget about it, and it simply is not an issue. Love your videos! You are a Godsend.
Thank you for your many videos on tinnitus they have helped me to understand how to handle it. I really appreciate being able to go to them for reassurance and try new ways helping my self.
Motivational Doc Mandel has the "spoon technique" that does reduce the sound a little. So far the only help throughout the day. Don't eat inflammatory foods and keep you blood pressure down with deep breathing techniques. Whole foods, vegetables and spice tea's. Thanks for the great advise!!!
it started slowly for me , just ringing for a couple of hours at night which didn't really worry me, now its 24/7 andf really annoying, but your videos are helping. Mind over matter is the key.
my tinnitus started on the 2nd day i took antibiotic pills and it lasted for 1 whole week. what i did was stop taking those pills and listened to 'white noise'(ie. waterfall) music and stop thinking about that high pitched noise. yes it comes back as soon i started to think about it. it stopped 5 days later after i stopped those pills.
I love all your tips for managing tinnitus, but I don't really get stressed out by it. In fact it doesn't really worry me at all. It's more like an annoyance rather than a catastrophe. As I type this I can 'hear' my tinnitus but it really doesn't bother me unless I focus all my attention on it. Other than that the only time it gets really fired up is if I have had coffee the previous evening, and then sleeping in. When I'd wake up it'll be as if I had walked into a wall.
It's now the same for me. Initially I was more bothered and depressed about it, but now I have a very relaxed attitude about it, and as a result of the attitude change, it really is less, or I have days where it really seems to just go away. I forget all about it, and don't hear anything. The only times that I have been greatly bothered by it, or when it SEEMED really loud (because this is a question of perception, really) was when I was already stressed, or upset, or worried about other things. The happier and more involved in activities I am, the more it just fades away.
In 62 and have had T since 15. It hasn't bothered me in all these years, tho it is loud (in my right ear). I have worried about everything else and suffer with anxiety, but never this. I know it is there but only if I think about it does it 'appear', but it is there all the time. However I heard a small comment on the radio last week about how awful it must be to live with T and I've latched on and now I'm really anxious. I hope it's just me going through a worry phase and it will pass like my other worries do but I've honed in. After all these years of accepting it and not worrying one bit I now am. But I have faith because up until last week I wasnt bothered so I can get that back. 👍
Rest I’ve had mine for two years it sucks.But your right need to calm down n tell your brain to heal it.Sounds crazy but don’t knock it till u really try it,The brain is a Powerful Machine ✌🏻❤️🤪
Another very good video Julian. Worrying has always been second nature to me. The kids, the house, the country, the violence etc. My hearing is so on red alert that I can hear a magazine fall to the floor downstairs when I am upstairs. Tinnitus is a real tyrant most def. However, positivity is the way forward as I keep reviewing your video which invites people to talk about the progress they have made which I find very helpful. More videos of this nature please.
Had it all my life it's the high pitched whine it never stops when I was a child I thought I was going mad as my siblings could not hear what I was hearing fifty years on it doesn't bother me much as I have never known total silence I imagine it would be magical though
Great what you just said. I been suffering with tinnitus in right ear for a year now. Had MRI scan, audio sound test. Had to wait 6 months to see NHS ear nose and throat doctor, Had 5 mins with only to tell there's nothing they can do to help me. It has been difficult and frustrating trying to live the pass year with tinnitus, this doctor certainly added to my stress. What an arse... hole he was. I'm now looking for better doctor for some help and advise. The NHS in uk is a lottery on how you get treated.
Sorry to hear you didn't find much help. You can find the latest information on how to help tinnitus on my app here: www.quietenapp.com Join live Q&A sessions and find loads of helpful techniques to help you let go of tinnitus. Best wishes Julian
I have been in bed for a week and can not sleep. I have tried sleep aids but nothing will let me get at least a few hours of sleep. My diet is low histamine low salt low sugar and the tinnitus is at a 10....have a few appointments but weeks out. Concerned because I am a heart patient and really need some sleep. TYIA
Please disregard my joke name. This is nice Julian. I have been stressed lately and my tinnitus is heightened as thanks to it. Then anxiety hits, and shit just hits the fan. I find much comfort in listening to your objective take on it. Also, your beard is epic.
My tinnitus gets almost silent if i put my shoulder on my neck/back of the ear. Also lying on your back should reduce it a little bit for some people. Please tell me if these things help you as well
There are 7 or 8 types of tinnitus : 1) Somatic tinnitus - spasming muscles pressing on auditory nerve2) Postural tinnitus (a form of somatic tinnitus)3) Pulsatile - when you hear your heartbeat4) Benign tumor on auditory nerve (maybe the calcium he's talking about)5) TMJ related6) Hearing loss related - brain fills in the pitches you no longer hear 7) Damage to inner ear8) Eustachian tube related Each type requires different treatment.Many of the neuromodulation and tinnitus sound therapy videos on UA-cam are helpful.There are videos here on massaging spasming neck muscles which are very useful.The product Lipo-Flavanoid can be very helpful.
Hoi gezond leven en bewegen thuis zoals yoga doen sauna nemen je lichaam masseren door ervaring persoon vermijd veel suiker koffie zout lekker postief mensen in je leven nagetief mensen gelijk wissen uit je leven ook al is het je vriend of ex laat het gaan want het is niet waard denk aan je zelf en geloof goed slapen heb je door de geluid slaap probleem kan je slaap middel nemen of gember munt honing en je hebt slaap thee ook dat kan je bij alberthijn kopen
I got tinitus from one shock that i had in life like year ago. After that moment I got tinnitus and I am pretty sure that the cause was big impact of fear and anexitey... What is even worst, i like to smoke, drink, and eat a lot of sugar....
Yeah man you're going to have to cutt that down like I've been doing better ever since I cutt off alcohol and sugar and coffee I drink nothing but water and I've been doing good but what triggers mine is when I drink coke or consume sugar and sodium. So I know I need to ease off of it.
With mercury poisoning the muscles get tense and can't let go and I'm not under any stress but it's just the way the muscles work. Yoga is a real struggle yet I try. But yes stress tenses me up that much more and that leads to autism issues and yes makes the problem worse. I'm boarder line autistic &stress throws me that way. Even if I do Yoga for a week it never goes away. I do neck stretches, stretch, take herbs& at times it gets a bit more silent but never goes away.
The Chinese have for centuries linked tinnitus to weak kidneys. I thought my kidneys were ok, but through lots of research I am learning that my kidneys don't filter much. I started cleansing the kidneys with herbs and my tinnitus is diminishing.
Family, good eating [vitamins] and no stimulants... not to over sleep helps me... and strangly making sure i'm upright so ears can drain, ear crystals exercises... also I might add knowing that acoustic shock can last months and is not tinnitus
Bruno Vincent i know its late mine is 2 days old first 2 days were very tough Nd now its 3rd day and by giving up on given attention to my tinnitus which is helping me to recover my confidence back in them try not to give attention to them and use noise mask at night to have a better sleep if it bothers you much
Brad, thanks for your comment. As I watch this wonderful doctor I was just going to ask him if air pressure can cause tinnitus? I am so affected by air pressure. Headaches, aching body and sometimes depression. I have monitored this air pressure thing for 2 yrs and I KNOW my issues are from air pressure. But in saying this, this doctor is so right. It's stress related. Wow, do I have some work to do. Again doctor Thank U so much for this information. God Bless
Great counseling, i suggest you to explain in a special video, how it feels to have tinnitus, the difficulties, the inside problems, reactions and behavior of a person that is suffering with tinnitus, to our relatives, and everybody who needs to know what we're passing through, it seems that our own words has little effect, please explain !
Thanks for your video. Helped me a lot. I am already doing this mindset change and trying to relax even more. You helped to know that I am going in the right way. Thanks for helping people who suffer with this condition.
Hola,gracias Julián por todos tus consejos,desde el 2019 que me empezó mi tinnitus te sigo y veo que tienes mucha razón en todo. Hay días que no puedes controlar el sistema nervioso,que esté tranquilo,porque con el ruido cuesta más que baje. Yo he notado que después de comer con la digestión el ruido sube Gracias por todos tus vídeos ❤
Good advice, thanks. You mentioned salt and sugar. For me, cheese and chocolate, both reasonably easy to dispense with (like salt and sugar). Also, emphatically, aspirin (which is pretty nasty stuff in any case.
Als het te erg wordt, dat heb ik regelmatig in de avond dan laat ik de kraan stromen met mijn oor er dichtbij. Dat verlicht het iets voor een paar momenten. Voor de rest is het accepteren en gewoon doorgaan! Het is niet anders!
Hi Julian. First, thank you so much for your videos. I have had tinnitus for about two years now. I have a few questions. If you could help me find answers to any of them, I would appreciate it. (1) My tinnitus seems to be at its worst when I get up on the morning or after I take a nap. Is that a common occurrence? (2) Also, as a musician, I am concerned that the ringing in my ears could get worse. I wear ear plugs, but I am not sure if that is enough. Do you have any suggestions? (3) I have TMJ dysfunction and back and neck problems. Do you think there could be a connection between that and my tinnitus? Again, any input that you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
LOVE your videos. I was diagnosed on September 7th and FREAKED OUT and my tinnitus was at a 10+. I was in a week of HELL. The following week I met with my long time therapists and he shook the SHIT out of me and shared with me A LOT of what your sharing with me and the second week, I can barely notice the Tinnitus. I chose to TAKE MY POWER BACK from Tinnitus. Thanks for videos and positive messages.
i love your attitude, can you help me???
Brent Scarpo: YUP! That's what I'm talking about! I have had it for a year and four months, and initially freaked out, and nose-dived into depression and worrying about it. Then I went through all the steps we all go through, trying to figure out the cause and the cure. The main cure I have discovered is to NOT freak out, and to realize that this is brought on largely by stress, and as Julian says, a learned fight or flight response. Now that I know that, I am so relaxed about it, sleep well at night, and when I notice it, I just ignore it and go on with my day, and I don't let it bother me.
F. B. How do you just ignore it though it's constant and what if a lot of things cause you stress it's physically impossible to ignore
Allenidus nothing is impossible my friend. You have it within you. You tell Tinnitus what you are going to do about it. It’s a total mind, body and soul thing. Incantation of saying I will lead a happy and fulfilling life. Make external changes also along with taking care of your physical health. Let’s use Tinnitus as the wake up call we all need to a better happier quieter life. God bless
RocCity Plowing & Lawncare Inc, amazing how illness makes us look at ourselves on a deeper level. I meditate but hubby says my mind never stops. This has definitely woken me up to take my meditation more into my daily life.
This is so true... during the first month of this I was in panic mode.. not sleeping, exhausted, full of anxiety and negative thoughts, ruminating over how it happened, what if it never ends? etc etc. but once I made a strong commitment to myself that I would try as hard as I can to focus on the positive, to remember that there is hope, there are people who described tinnitus as bad as mine who are now in a way better place after habituating to it. I choose to shift my attention whenever I notice the dark thoughts creeping in, I keep myself busy, I take care of my body, I don't avoid socialising and activities I like. I am still learning more techniques to keep more calm and I'm not all the way there yet, but even in a few weeks of making that commitment I have noticed a difference to my life. I can go hours without noticing the sound, and it often sounds more quiet. Don't lose hope!!! I was an absolute basket case a month ago and I'm already doing much better. It gives me hope that I can get to a really good place if I keep it up.
I'm trying to do this it's hard but I need to give it no more time
I almost need to switch my mind thought s hey
My tinnitus started two years ago in April of 2015. It would come and go for about a month, then one day I was reading the news paper and my tinnitus started and hasn't stopped since. Exercising, drinking a lot of water, and staying busy helps a lot.
after 13 years, my tinnitus has suddenly increased quite drastically and its causing me immense anxiety and even depression. I've watched nearly all your videos and they're gradually restoring some of my confidence. Thank for posting these encouraging videos Julian, they're helpful and much appriciated.
How did you get your T?
What do you think did increase your T?
Have you tried listening to sound therapy treatments? You can just pull some up on youtube and fall asleep to them. That at least helped mine a little. I sincerely hope the best for you! It's definitely a difficult thing to be struggling with.
you should get an allergy test, i got an allergy test, turns out i was slightly intolerant to milk, i know i sounds stupid, i thought it was too, i stopped eating food with milk and after 2 months it was A LOT better !
Hang on for a couple of more years. A Cure is on the way REAL SOON.
after watching this video my tinnitus reduced like howww 😭 thank youu for this video
my tinnitus came back after 3 years or depression and anxiety
there is a cure for everything guys, we have to believe it, believe that our body can heal itself, meditation yoga, music therapy good night sleep, healthy diet can cure it
I pray that one day we will be free from tinnitus. God bless us all
🤒😓
YaoiCat hey how long you had that before it’s gone.but is it came back?
@@attiqkhan2370 its takes so much time to get rid of it permanently...the only thing that works and i recommend it to everyone is music therapy, binaural beats, meditation. There are so many vids, so I created a playlist and I usually use the brain healing ones and I can see results. I read a comment on YT and the person writing it explained perfectly what tinnitus is. To sum up it was some sort of brain damage not the hearing one. 1 time I got tinnitus came from not sleeping regularly for 1 month due to stress and panic attacks. Through music therapy got rid of it. Then about 2 year later depression hit me so tinnitus started to how up again. My sleep routine was a mess so the pulsating tinnitus on my right ear came out of nowhere. Sorry for writing so much but trust me when I say doctors and pills cant help you, cuz I tried them. One of the docs I went he said that my hearing is very bad. Later I went to another doc did another hearing test and she said "who lied to you about your hearing". If you are suffering too from tinnitus it will go away. If you use the binaural beat and feel any tingling or vibration around the head it means that is working. Might be placebo effect but who care as long as it works.
YaoiCat thank you so much buddy.you know what I gone through the same thing as yours,got stress for whole one month than got deep headache, went to the gp,and he diagnosed me with sinus infection and prescribed me some antibiotics,Right after finished that course I got this tinnitus.
YaoiCat but I don’t get it that how this antibiotic tablets cause t,what I thought is that when you don’t need any medicine but you still take it than it’s give you reaction(side affect)my ear got blocked for three days but it’s open back again and than the sound start coming.
To those of you without someone who understands, I understand! It's terrible. Do listen to Julian, great advice. I made these mistakes, panic, fear...... but you CAN recover, be calm.
i'm suffering from Hyperacusis and totally agree with avoiding all negative advices that it will not go away!! this is devastating.
here in Holland, the so-called KNO specialists that are supposed to help you, are notorious for telling people this "learn to live with it.. next!"
you gotta be kidding..
Fortunatley, later by persisting I ended up with an special therapist helping people with ear problems. She has been my angel the first few months after suffering from it. lots of what Julian says also applies to hyperacusis.
dont give up people, it can feel like hell, but it will heal.
thanks Julian.
I had tinnitus for over 2 years. I also thought of ending my life until i came across an article on a doctor who cured someone named Carolina. I copied the doctor's email address and contacted him. I got his medicine and for more than 5 months now after using the medicine i can finally sleep. No more ringing. You can also reach him through his email. Drmakindeherbalhome@gmail.com
I sent this to my friend who has tinnitus and hyperacusis like myself. I have gotten through the whole doom and gloom stage of early tinnitus, hyperacusis and hearing loss. I'm doing much better, my T went to a low baseline and my Hyperacusis has dropped significantly (of course on top of sound enrichment). Anyone reading this comment, take what he is saying to heart. It works. Its hard to tell people to just "calm down" and he convey's that message perfectly. Thank you Mr. Hill.
did it get better on your own or did you go through a treatment
How do you manage hyperacusis?
This is the best advice I have ever heard regarding tinnitus or just about any other illness. Do not listen to nay sayers, doom and gloom. There is always hope of improvement and also of adaptation. Thank you so much for your kind and brilliant insight.
My hero. He’s the only person that truly helped me
You stopped my depression about this tinnitus
How you hanging in there bro? I've had my T for 6 months now.. Preparing for my long jorney ahead
Thanks for the reply bruh! Dang, you habituated in less than a month? That's impressive! Took me about 7. I'm breaching to a year now, so I'm at the point where idc no more lol. Not only that, Frequency therapeutics keeps me going. It's a company working on reversing hearing loss who literally already have a cure, their just working on licensing for trial on humans. It's a good time to be alive. Thanks to Stem Cell research. I actually got my T for accidentally shooting off my Revolver inside a room on my left ear, stupid me lol. 6 months later i started developing pulsatile tinnitus on my right ear after a ear infection. Fuck me right? But it ain't nothing. Life's good, and I only got one life to live. I'ma keep doing me
Puro South i have it for like 8 months now
@@southerncritic9090 🤩💖
My right eye has been ringing for 5 months. So what I've done, is to wear hearing protection at all times. And eat better food, and drinking water more, and sleeping longer. This Morning for the first time, the buzzing in my ear has gone down 50%, plus cutting back on sugar too!! It does help.
I've had mine for 6 months. Just got this recent ear infection and it got a bit louder... Dieting has nothing to do with your T. I've noticed my T just naturally goes down in the morning, because your body is well rested. I noticed my T always spike when i talk about it. It sucks \:
In the last 10 days it hasen't been bad, but I do use hearing protect a lot now.
I've been researching reducing ringing in ears quickly and found a fantastic resource at Dajon Ear Relief (look it up on google)
What if you cant afford all of that ear protection crap
Wait bruv eye I wonder how that feels
I always love to comment on new videos to make any people looking at these comments aware that this is loaded with truth. Thanks as always for the video, Julian. I can say with confidence that this is true, and it has helped me on my path to getting better with T. If I had listened to the SEVERAL ENT doctors I've seen, I honestly don't know where I'd be. Please listen to Julian, or at least keep your mind open - it might be just what you need if you're suffering.
You are like Eckhart Tolle, your speeches heal those with ringing. Thank you for all your posts.
Well all you said is true, when I feel anxiety or over excited my Tinnitus come back. But if I relax myself, my Tinnitus decreasing. And eventually it's gone.
To cure Tinnitus don't listen to loud noice, and drink Vitamin B for your auditory nerves. And relax, don't panic, because it can worst. This video is good explanation to what I exactly do.
So happy to find Julian, Have been having extreme bouts of Tinnitus subjective and objective for 8 months .Have recently changed my diet to avoid refined sugars and plain salt. I do live in a home that does create acoustic noise which exacerbates my level of comfort and adds to the low frequency hum and the high static tinnitus I already have had for a long time.
The Low frequency is the worst to deal with as it is only in my right ear. Sleeping at night is the worst. Fear and constant worry is also not productive. A recent visit to the ENT did little help, I was given a prescription for nasal steroid spray to help calm down a possible eustachian tube disfuncthion. Basically he brushed me off as a regular Tinnitus patient and offered no help other than move from your current location to a quieter less noisy part of town.
I'm sure many of you have gone through this scenario and felt lost and forgotten with no help in site.
This forum is a wonderful way to connect and hopefully be understood by fellow sufferers.
Thank you Julian !
I’m also a psychotherapist and it feels so good to know that you are too. I’m new and had this onset. Thank you for sharing this
Thank you Julian. I find that when I think about all the good things that I have in my life, as well as feel grateful for them, it gives me inner peace. I wish you and anyone reading this the same feelings of calmness, peace, joy, and love.
Honestly brother god bless you, I’ve had tinnitus since I was 8 years old 23 now. Literally forgot about it, out of nowhere I remembered and it got loud, I’m moving next month, I have so much going on, and it’s probably what triggered it, I’ve found that it’s like a negative thought, the more we try to focus on letting it go, the worse it gets, I tell you all IT WILL GET BETTER! let go of it, act like you don’t even have it. I promise!!!
You are so right, the same with me..
I have it 5 years after my father padt away from cancer , then I was struggling my self became worst , the last 2 years I almost forgot was there but I couldn't even hear it.After 3 weeks extremely stres , I said to me "calm down you gonna get loud T, once more, ", thinking the first day I got it , and suddenly 3 days ago buzzing extremely now, like the first time before 5 years...
I have a philosophy about that..
If we can increase or decrease the T, then we can find way to stop it...
Mind Games. .
Thx God julian is here

Thanks!
You are Welcome! Thanks. Best wishes Julian
@@JulianCowanHill i have it pretty bad the vid helped me a bit so thanks
Hey, listen to this guy!! I got T ten years ago, this guy helped me just by listening to him. I switched off and it’s not gone but it totally does not bother me, I embraced it and it blends in. Honestly I was so freaking out at first but this guy made me realise it’s not going to kill me and to make friends with T , it works. Bollocks to it that’s the thought process. 👍
This is so helpful. Suffered with Panic Disorders for years, now I have to control the noise with positive thoughts and good sleep.
Julian....You need to do a TedTalk man. You're every sufferers hope! I've watched most of your videos and you have brought me from despair to hope within a matter of days. You are truly an inspiration and I would hazard a guess that you have saved many people from complete darkness. Big love x
Really glad to hear this has helped you. A positive mindset, sense of clarity and understanding really help tinnitus back off. Thanks for sharing. This helps others too!
I keep coming back to your videos Julian. They helped me immensely back in 2013 when I got the sudden onset of high pitched T and hyperacusis on top of that. Your words mean alot to many of us. This condition is still a tuff challenge and it's life changing but not at the same massively scary level as in the beginning. The biggest mystery is still hyperacusis. Good to see that your still sharing your knowledge. Keep up the good work and please continuous! Your theories on stress and how it affects T&H is something I can relate to big time.
Im a medical student, i had tinnitus for almost 2 years. When i first got diagnosed with tinnitus, the first month was bad, the doctors put me on a lot of treatment and there was like a 30% improvement but did not help at alot...i slowly got adapted too it, i started watching julians videos which helped me A LOT! After like 2 months, i was more calm and less worrying towards it which led me afterwards to a whole year and a half of not noticing it at all!! Super amazing! But yesterday i was so tired lying in bed trying to sleep, and mistakenly focusing on it, it got activated..i panicked and remembered how i was in the beginning... now its much better, i realized FEAR triggers it badly, i stopped fearing it, and it reduced to like 50% to where it doesnt bother me as much.
Also wanting to try some cst! How many sessions do it need?
how is your T now?
Probably forgot about it@@s_meals562
15 years of this and FINALLY get some answers. Thank you for your videos. God bless and will be checking out the rest of what you have.
Julian you're an angel , your videos calmed me down and allowed me to regain self control even when the ringing was terrible. I still have it after 3 weeks but I'm starting to have days of quiet and am no longer panicking when it arises. For those who feel stuck just remember your body needs to heal, be patient with it. Do everything you can to lower your vibration and get a lot of sleep and practice deep breathing.
How are you now
Hoi ja klopt wat je zegt gewoon ermee goed omgaan en leren met je lichaam en rust vermijd stres enzo en sLpen is belangrijk maar bewegen gezond ook
Your passion for this subject, and the hope you give, is wonderful. Thank you.
Dear mr. Hill, it's a lot of don'ts :-).
I have experience my tinnitus since i had a lot of job stress, 2 yrs ago. Since then it kept increasing on frequent basis. Mostly on midday after lunch time. The sound is a very high continuous tone like an aircraft alternator or high speed fan. After noticing this very annoying sound in my head i consulted my general practitioner. After that i had several research at the hospital and sound therapies. This all without any results. Last March i went for a 5 days holiday and after 3 days at location i noticed a reduction of the loudness in my head and it was less frequent. This made me so happy after almost 2 yrs of annoying loudness sound in my head. I appreciate your perseverance in believe that tinnitus can get better and even disappear. Keep up the spirit, thumbs up!
How is your tinnitus now
Truly on the mark. I usually have no tinnitus when relaxed. Sometimes I do but high stress always proceeds it. I do take a daily medication that can cause tinnitus, but definitely, it comes on strongest when I'm stressed or very tired or both. One thing that helps me. Meditation. Meditation is just sitting quietly in a quiet place gently trying to think just one thought at a time. It's easy and free...but the mindset is key. If you don't believe it can work, it won't. Counting each breath one at a time up to 10 then starting over, focusing on each number only but not forcing that. Other thought swill come. It's basically impossible for humans to think one thought at a time. Just gently refocus on the numbers and let the extraneous thought fade. Don't be surprise if you notice, I just counted to 23 and forgot to start over. LOL. I was taught this in a college class by a professor who said, consciousness is the dance of a thousand drunken monkeys. LOL. He was qouting Confucius I think. Always thought Confucius had a rather unfortunate name, given he was trying to be all about clarity. LOL.
Very good. I think we have a tendency to think the situation with our bodies is 10 times worse than it is, or will inevitatably turn out to be horrible. This results is that the situation just gets worse because of the added stress. I will do everything to calm down. I believe that will help.Thank you so much for this reminder of reality.

I suffered ringing in my ears for 3 years after a loud indoor concert. Then it completely disapeared. I had no tinnutus for 2 years. Now just recently I didnt wear my custom earplegs to some live music. A good hour I exposed myself to inside a small hall and the ringing and hyperacusis has returned. I have to stop beating myself up about it. I have to move on and let my body heal again. Im taking tart cherry extract pills 2 hours before bed for sleep and B-12 in morning for positive mood.
Hi Ernie, how are you now?
Hi Ernie, how is it going ?
I Stay drunk at a loud concert and did damage to my ears and t came loud again after 13 with it. Its hard to destroy all that just um 1 hour
Good to know that one can recover from T. What exactly did you do to recover? Thanks.
@@Dazsun Im doing great. I do have some T but dont even bother ne anymore
Just by listening to you being positive helps with the tinnitus.
The ringing started two weeks ago. I was under a lot of emotional stress, in a complicated moment in my life, and one day I was cooking and the fire alarm in my apartment went off. I got close to turn it off, uncovered my ears and heard one loud beep. After that my ears felt warm and too sensitive and the ringing started after a while. I definitely see how stress worsens it so I'm trying to stay calm. I was put on prednisone one week after which calmed the sensitivity but the ringing is still there one after having started the prednisone.
Hey Adrian, How are you now?
Your videos have been really helpful thank you. I’ve just recently been dealing with tinnitus.
Glad to hear it. You can find much more help and all the latest information and live on-line support on my app here: www.quietenapp.com
This gentleman knows what he is talking about. For those of you coming across this video in your first weeks/months of tinnitus, we understand what you are going through. It will get better, it doesn't go away, but you can learn not to let it rule your life, stressing and focusing on it is what is happening right now because it's new to you. Most importantly for me was to get rest, to sleep. I wish all who suffer with it the best, stay strong.
Griff Grinds
what do we do?
It does go away though! For many. Please don't add more negative attitude about it, because it really does cease to be an issue for millions of people.
Late to the thread here. I know what you’re saying and appreciate you being positive, but telling people it “doesn’t go away” is NOT what people need to hear. It does go away. For many actually. It’s literally the whole sentiment of what Julian is saying.
This is my first week with full blown tinnitus. I'm beginning to feel hopeful and kind of looking forward to going through the habituation process. Thank you for sharing your experience and advice.
How is it now?
@@JohnSmith-cq7lk Still there but I'm fully habituated. Even when it's loud I don't spend any time thinking about it. It's purely background noise now.
I also have huge eye floaters which I thought I would never get used to. I hardly ever think about those either.
It's amazing how your brain adapts to inescapable annoyances by shutting them out. It's also given me a much better attitude about the aging process. You just get used to it.
Thank you Julian for the empowering messages around this as opposed to the resignation and fear mongering I had previously come across. Great stuff.
Dear Julian,
Your video had been really helpful. 4 different throat nose ear doctors told me that there is nothing that can be done on tinnitus and in fact they were wrong. A psicologist was the First person that helped me. In germany we say that doctors are lousy psicotherpists.they should be teach in psicology as well.I have my noises wit pmr Progressive muscle relaxation. Loads of moving at fresh air, taking of stress in my life. And eliminating all negative things off my life. Thank you for helping us. Keep on doing this. Dankeschön. Toni from Frankfurt germany
Thank you for all the information. Thank you for the hope. I've had tinnitus for almost 2 years now. I believe mine started with a health scare. After that I quit smoking which was extremely difficult and stressful. Then covid came. I already have GAD / panic. I know I've been living in a constant state of heightened anxiety. I hope l can overcome this
Hoi ik heb af en toe last van geluid van linker oor ik had angst gekregen kon slecht slapen elke keer als ik ging liggen werden het erger dat geluid maar na dat ik corona heftig hebt gehad en buiten met wind en me oren en zwemmen schade heeft gekregen en stress van me gezin we moeten eten en veel drinken niet veel suiker en zout en wat helpt is thuis yoga doen eerst even wat drinken en bewegen zet je lekker een matje neer en spullen waar je mee kan bewegen zoals je nek armenje kan op UA-cam kijken en sporten buiten deur sauna nemen gewoon je zelf verwennen geloof me word heel minder de klachten gaat zelf weg en lig niet wakker om mensen die het niet waard zijn enzovoort zoek toevlucht naar God en neem alleen positieve mensen en vermijd negatieve mensen ik mer bij me zelf wat deze meneer zegt gewoon de stres niet boven je hoofd Maar onder je lichaam doen en als je gaat slapen mischien lichte slaap middel nemen of slaapthee wie weet helpt dat allemaal en rusten succes mensen
You have given me confidence that perhaps all my problems stem from this very thing. Which means I may be able to turn my entire life around by calming down my nervous system. I really hope this path is right. Back to my daily TRE session. Thanks.
(by the way, out of severe tinnitus louder than cars driving past, strong visual snow, and cpps, cpps affects me the worst, it's literally traumatic on a second to second basis)
Excellent videos, some times all you need is a calming voice of hope.
100% correct. It is not what is happening to us that cause us issues it is our view and meaning we take from it
25 years of tinnitus. I've tried ALL these ideas plus. Everything I have tried has not worked. Concentrating on it in any fashion only makes you more aware of it. I use a 1 hour UA-cam tinnitus video at night while lying in bed, not all the time, sometimes. It has helped me to fall asleep, but it is very temporary and never stops the noise. In 25 years, I have experienced a few brief seconds where the tinnitus totally stops. But they are very rare. I just deal with it and move on.
I do appreciate your video and your positive attempt to help those with tinnitus.
What is your lifestyle like? Do you work, what is your job like? Do you drink alcohol, eat sugar, eat processed foods? What are your relationships like? Is there anyone close to you that is extremely negative and who you often worry about or fight with, or who makes you feel unsupported? All these questions are invaluable for anyone with tinnitus.
Well if you put it like that then I think everyone in the world is having a bad case of tinnitus...
I mean who doesn't have one or more of those things? Who doesn't eat sugar or processed food???? What good is that?
Hey there! I can help you here. Ive had it since birth and i have a realy good method. Listen to your bloodstream and breathing. Mane some mininois like scratching your pillow when trying to sleep. I uaialy do this and i get distracted from it and fall asleep.
Hope this helped man
I've had it for a bit over a year now. When I first found out I had it I thought I was going to lose my mind. But after falling asleep to a lot of sound therapies, and trying to make healthier choices for myself (going to bed earlier, drinking more water, etc.) I have found that it has been reduced. I still hear it when the room is dead silent, and still have quite a bit of anxiety, but it has gotten better. I also owe a lot to seeing the chiropractor because of my TMJ and a fan that I always keep in my room lol. Now I only feel the need to listen to sound therapies once every few months or so, just to keep it in check. Just keep trying treatments. As someone who has it, I understand how hard this is, but don't give up ever. :)
Yup, my experience is very similar to yours. So good to read positive comments!
I have had it for 16 years

This is the best advice I have heard about tinnitus. Calm and insightful. Thanks
Thanks for giving hope when I feel down I listen to your positive message and feel strength
Thank you very much for all of your videos, they give so much understanding and hope to avoid freaking out and understanding the situation in order to get better.
I am a singer that suffers from hyper-acoustics and tinnitus. I had anxiety attacks and panic attacks for years and I don't have them any longer. Everything you just said in this video is exactly what helped me through my panic attacks when I had them a year ago. Stress can trigger so many parts of our body and the best medicine is to always be patient, don't freak out when you are in discomfort and it is amazing how our body heals; as the very same things that caused it is the very same thing that shuts it down 👍
You're so awesome, Julian! You help so many people. I'm sharing your channel on another video where folks were posting all kinds of negative and hopeless comments. I want to help them too. I have had mine for about a year and a half and it's really okay, I am on my way to finding balance again, I am no longer really upset about it, and I have many many days when it totally goes away and other days I forget about it, and it simply is not an issue. Love your videos! You are a Godsend.
how is your T now?
Thank you for these videos, truly. They have helped me feel like I can learn to manage this better.

this guy has helped me so much ,thank you so much
Motivational Doc Mandel has the "spoon technique" that does reduce the sound a little. So far the only help throughout the day. Don't eat inflammatory foods and keep you blood pressure down with deep breathing techniques. Whole foods, vegetables and spice tea's. Thanks for the great advise!!!
it started slowly for me , just ringing for a couple of hours at night which didn't really worry me, now its 24/7 andf really annoying, but your videos are helping. Mind over matter is the key.
ive been dealing with it 14 months and its extremely loud all the time and never goes away
Even during the day ? Aren't the daily classic noises hiding it from you ?
Everything you say is true. I've experienced all these effects with my tinnitus and it helps with managing it.
my tinnitus started on the 2nd day i took antibiotic pills and it lasted for 1 whole week. what i did was stop taking those pills and listened to 'white noise'(ie. waterfall) music and stop thinking about that high pitched noise. yes it comes back as soon i started to think about it. it stopped 5 days later after i stopped those pills.
interesting
Even just listening to this video, is the best thing for me
I love all your tips for managing tinnitus, but I don't really get stressed out by it. In fact it doesn't really worry me at all. It's more like an annoyance rather than a catastrophe. As I type this I can 'hear' my tinnitus but it really doesn't bother me unless I focus all my attention on it. Other than that the only time it gets really fired up is if I have had coffee the previous evening, and then sleeping in. When I'd wake up it'll be as if I had walked into a wall.
It's now the same for me. Initially I was more bothered and depressed about it, but now I have a very relaxed attitude about it, and as a result of the attitude change, it really is less, or I have days where it really seems to just go away. I forget all about it, and don't hear anything. The only times that I have been greatly bothered by it, or when it SEEMED really loud (because this is a question of perception, really) was when I was already stressed, or upset, or worried about other things. The happier and more involved in activities I am, the more it just fades away.
F. B. If you go out for a walk or cycle you won't hear it at all. You've got to get your heart pumping.
The sound doesn't really bother me, my only concern is if my hearing gets worse in time.
In 62 and have had T since 15. It hasn't bothered me in all these years, tho it is loud (in my right ear). I have worried about everything else and suffer with anxiety, but never this. I know it is there but only if I think about it does it 'appear', but it is there all the time. However I heard a small comment on the radio last week about how awful it must be to live with T and I've latched on and now I'm really anxious. I hope it's just me going through a worry phase and it will pass like my other worries do but I've honed in. After all these years of accepting it and not worrying one bit I now am. But I have faith because up until last week I wasnt bothered so I can get that back. 👍
Rest I’ve had mine for two years it sucks.But your right need to calm down n tell your brain to heal it.Sounds crazy but don’t knock it till u really try it,The brain is a Powerful Machine ✌🏻❤️🤪
Another very good video Julian. Worrying has always been second nature to me. The kids, the house, the country, the violence etc. My hearing is so on red alert that I can hear a magazine fall to the floor downstairs when I am upstairs. Tinnitus is a real tyrant most def. However, positivity is the way forward as I keep reviewing your video which invites people to talk about the progress they have made which I find very helpful. More videos of this nature please.
Keep doing what you are doing helping people GOD bless!
Had it all my life it's the high pitched whine it never stops when I was a child I thought I was going mad as my siblings could not hear what I was hearing fifty years on it doesn't bother me much as I have never known total silence I imagine it would be magical though
Great what you just said. I been suffering with tinnitus in right ear for a year now. Had MRI scan, audio sound test. Had to wait 6 months to see NHS ear nose and throat doctor, Had 5 mins with only to tell there's nothing they can do to help me. It has been difficult and frustrating trying to live the pass year with tinnitus, this doctor certainly added to my stress. What an arse... hole he was. I'm now looking for better doctor for some help and advise. The NHS in uk is a lottery on how you get treated.

*Thank you very much for your kind advise and it is was useful and it makes sense*
*with best wishes from Canada*
I have been in bed for a week and can not sleep. I have tried sleep aids but nothing will let me get at least a few hours of sleep. My diet is low histamine low salt low sugar and the tinnitus is at a 10....have a few appointments but weeks out. Concerned because I am a heart patient and really need some sleep. TYIA
Please disregard my joke name.
This is nice Julian. I have been stressed lately and my tinnitus is heightened as thanks to it. Then anxiety hits, and shit just hits the fan. I find much comfort in listening to your objective take on it. Also, your beard is epic.
My Tinnitus started 2017 after I suffered a perforated eardrum, I don’t hear many people talking about a perforated eardrum,
My tinnitus gets almost silent if i put my shoulder on my neck/back of the ear. Also lying on your back should reduce it a little bit for some people. Please tell me if these things help you as well
Don Vito Corleone dude thank you, i am absolutely dying and that helped 😫
THIS HELPED TY

Hello. Great advice not only for tinnitus but everything; healthy lifestyle in general.
You are a legend mate. Thanks for the help
I've had it my entire life so it barely bothers me anymore
I’m getting that way. You either waste your time stressing or you just think about something else.
There are 7 or 8 types of tinnitus :
1) Somatic tinnitus - spasming muscles pressing on auditory nerve2) Postural tinnitus (a form of somatic tinnitus)3) Pulsatile - when you hear your heartbeat4) Benign tumor on auditory nerve (maybe the calcium he's talking about)5) TMJ related6) Hearing loss related - brain fills in the pitches you no longer hear 7) Damage to inner ear8) Eustachian tube related
Each type requires different treatment.Many of the neuromodulation and tinnitus sound therapy videos on UA-cam are helpful.There are videos here on massaging spasming neck muscles which are very useful.The product Lipo-Flavanoid can be very helpful.
My tinnitus and hyperacusis has been so bad for a year now. I would rather lose one foot and have covid than experiencing this
I hope you’re feeling better.

I want thank you for all the help you gave me.
I got tinitus from one shock that i had in life like year ago. After that moment I got tinnitus and I am pretty sure that the cause was big impact of fear and anexitey... What is even worst, i like to smoke, drink, and eat a lot of sugar....
Yeah man you're going to have to cutt that down like I've been doing better ever since I cutt off alcohol and sugar and coffee I drink nothing but water and I've been doing good but what triggers mine is when I drink coke or consume sugar and sodium. So I know I need to ease off of it.
These are the exact words that I needed to hear. Thank you so much !! 🙏🙏🙏
I really like your videos Julian.
Thank you very much for your good energy and desire to help. God bless you.
Greetings from Colombia.
Thank you so much, we need this message of hope
With mercury poisoning the muscles get tense and can't let go and I'm not under any stress but it's just the way the muscles work. Yoga is a real struggle yet I try. But yes stress tenses me up that much more and that leads to autism issues and yes makes the problem worse. I'm boarder line autistic &stress throws me that way. Even if I do Yoga for a week it never goes away. I do neck stretches, stretch, take herbs& at times it gets a bit more silent but never goes away.
The Chinese have for centuries linked tinnitus to weak kidneys. I thought my kidneys were ok, but through lots of research I am learning that my kidneys don't filter much. I started cleansing the kidneys with herbs and my tinnitus is diminishing.
Kathy soccermom how can you figure out if your kidneys are not working that great?
Can you plz. specify the herbs ? Are these Chinese ? Can you name them plz.? It's going to be of great help...
Kathy soccermom , can you plz. Specify is it a Chinese herb ? Can you plz. Name the herbs? It will be of great help !!!! Thx.
Kathy soccermom what did you do to cleanse your kidneys? It could also be a placebo
Kathy soccermom what berbagai name?
I have got tinnitus 4 days ago and your videos really make me feel calm thank you for that

Deepa Gowda i got my tinnitus 2 days ago now its 3rd day, first few days were tough and now Today i feel better even with this sound
Thank you so much! You are giving me hope again!
I am watching you today, Happy New Year! It will help my anxiety about this
Family, good eating [vitamins] and no stimulants... not to over sleep helps me... and strangly making sure i'm upright so ears can drain, ear crystals exercises... also I might add knowing that acoustic shock can last months and is not tinnitus
4 days into it, very hard, I have to find the strength
Hang in there bro bro. How is ur T after 6 months?
Bruno Vincent i know its late mine is 2 days old first 2 days were very tough Nd now its 3rd day and by giving up on given attention to my tinnitus which is helping me to recover my confidence back in them try not to give attention to them and use noise mask at night to have a better sleep if it bothers you much
@@husseyqtr Did you T ever go away?
Hope it went away.
12 days into it. Damn fireworks. Has anyone recovered from T. If so what did you do and after how long?
Barometric pressure makes mine worse. I always know when a high Pressure weather front is on its way.
Brad, thanks for your comment. As I watch this wonderful doctor I was just going to ask him if air pressure can cause tinnitus? I am so affected by air pressure. Headaches, aching body and sometimes depression. I have monitored this air pressure thing for 2 yrs and I KNOW my issues are from air pressure. But in saying this, this doctor is so right. It's stress related. Wow, do I have some work to do. Again doctor Thank U so much for this information. God Bless
Great counseling, i suggest you to explain in a special video, how it feels to have tinnitus, the difficulties, the inside problems, reactions and behavior of a person that is suffering with tinnitus, to our relatives, and everybody who needs to know what we're passing through, it seems that our own words has little effect, please explain !
Thanks for your video. Helped me a lot. I am already doing this mindset change and trying to relax even more. You helped to know that I am going in the right way. Thanks for helping people who suffer with this condition.
Your videos give me hope. Thank you so much. Recent 29 y old tinnitus diagnosed.
Glad to hear it. You can also learn a lot of useful techniques and get direct online support on my app which you can download here: www.quietenapp.com
You really gave me hope. Thank you.
Hola,gracias Julián por todos tus consejos,desde el 2019 que me empezó mi tinnitus te sigo y veo que tienes mucha razón en todo.
Hay días que no puedes controlar el sistema nervioso,que esté tranquilo,porque con el ruido cuesta más que baje.
Yo he notado que después de comer con la digestión el ruido sube
Gracias por todos tus vídeos ❤
Thank you ❤❤
Good advice, thanks. You mentioned salt and sugar. For me, cheese and chocolate, both reasonably easy to dispense with (like salt and sugar). Also, emphatically, aspirin (which is pretty nasty stuff in any case.
Als het te erg wordt, dat heb ik regelmatig in de avond dan laat ik de kraan stromen met mijn oor er dichtbij. Dat verlicht het iets voor een paar momenten. Voor de rest is het accepteren en gewoon doorgaan! Het is niet anders!
Hi Julian. First, thank you so much for your videos. I have had tinnitus for about two years now. I have a few questions. If you could help me find answers to any of them, I would appreciate it. (1) My tinnitus seems to be at its worst when I get up on the morning or after I take a nap. Is that a common occurrence? (2) Also, as a musician, I am concerned that the ringing in my ears could get worse. I wear ear plugs, but I am not sure if that is enough. Do you have any suggestions? (3) I have TMJ dysfunction and back and neck problems. Do you think there could be a connection between that and my tinnitus? Again, any input that you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Has anyone tried the dual sympathetic reset injection? Please let me know if you have. Thanks
I've just subscribed. I hope to learn a lot from you. I think I now have tinnitus also.
