- Thanks for listening. Full details of my symptoms + contact info are at itsdanbull.com/health-problems/
What I believe I have is a combination of the following:
1. Eustachian Tube Dysfunction
2. Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
3. Hyperacusis / Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome
I believe these symptoms share a causal factor but nobody has been able to adequately explain it so far. It's fukcing me up, it really is. Thanks again for listening x - Ігри
had no idea homie. hit me up if we can help at all from stateside. sending much love.
You guys didn't even notice in the middle of all of his acting/rapping? Christ Dan, you're too English for your own good.
i didnt notice dan rapped so well in that rap battle
Yeah here in America you don't wait as long for doctors

But you pay loads more
Don't know any specialists but this is close to my worst nightmare. Get better soon man.
TryHardNinja :D
Thenintendofan4ever is that all you care about? Not that he is saying something Nice?
Do you just care about my comment? :P
TheNintendofan4ever
Wow you have no friends do you?
Mr. Ninja!!! :D
You probably won't read this comment (sadly) BUT this is not an Ear problem. It developed from an Ear infection, yes, but it is the jaw, to be more precise, it's above the jaw muscles. Let that get checked out! (it only seems like a ear problem, but it's actually right below the auditoral canal, which is why you hear it that loud)
PS: yes i will thumb up my own comment, because i want Dan to see it.
Shoot him an email, if you haven't already. D= He'd see it much faster than on a UA-cam comment.
***** great idea! You know his email adress ? i am currently a bit short on time, but it would be great if i could tell him this! I don't want to see him suffer like he does :(
Palo Kan It's actually on his website through the link he provided in this video's description but I'll post it here for you: freshnut@live.co.uk
Also through that link is a pretty detailed description of what his symptoms are, how many people he's gone to, and what happened when. I hope this helps. ^^
***** Thank you very much! i will also show this to my father, he is a doctor! i really really want to help Dan!!! :'(
Palo Kan I don't know his email, but his twitter is twitter.com/itsDanBull that might be faster, but you can also send private messages via youtube, go to his about section and hit the send message optin, that might reach him faster as well.
Can't even watch this because it hurts to see you like this
this is exactly what I felt
J'zargo From Elsweyr I have to agree...I realy cant say any thing else
Ye same
Scott Macrae no you dont you were not in as much pain as he is right now
Teri Thompson hey I feel bad fuckwad
As soon as I get back to England we'll hang out, plan how you're going to get to 1 million subs, and play some games to help keep you distracted during the bits of this that you can only wait out.
I think it would be better to use 6 degrees of separation to find the best specialist (aka a real life dr. House) and find a cure. If I was in his position I would've committed suicide by now, he's been to 13 different people who were either clueless or not very helpful. The UA-cam community is well connected, we ought to be able to find him the specialist he needs.
this! THIS is a TRUE FRIEND! :-D good on ya dave! :-D

I say that Dan is the modern-day Beethoven....
As Beethoven started going through the same problems at the same age, he also composed some of his best music...
200 years later, we have an extaordinarily gifted musician going through the same issues as one of the greatest composers in history. Plus with advancement in medicine and technology, it should be a bit easier for Dan to get through life and deal with this disability. If you don't want it to overcome you, continue to strive to overcome it, no matter how difficult it may be.
Hope you don't let this obstacle overwhelm you too much. If you can surpass this obstacle, you will have a much brighter future. If you let it get to you, you might give in and let it drag you down.
Hope you get better some day soon Dan! Cheers to you Dave for being a wonderful friend!
Full support from across the pond,
Xana
This is a true friend.
I said you were awesome and had my support on Skype, but will say it publically here, your a nice guy Dan hope someone can help you and hopefully we will meet in person soon!
If you two met I would have a mini heart attack. Dans health allowing obviously. Also you are so right calling him amazing.
Jesus. That- Minx. Times when friends show so much support makes me so happy in this world.
share this on your channel minx, please, and thanks for supporting him :) TheRPGMinx
MINX!!! i didn't know you liked Dan!!!
Allan Mousa She's played a couple of games featured on Dans gaming channel, and possibly hers.
You have a massive audience and experienced hyperacusis/TTTS which have so little funding and so little attention. Please help bring more attention to these conditions. I didn't even find this video after 8 months of looking at videos on these topics because these keywords weren't in the title of the video. Just now it's finally showing me this video in the search for some reason. Some of us have constant burning pain for months on end in our ears. It's not even about not being able to talk, it's about not being able to sit in silence either.
Maybe go with a just giving or kickstarter or something so we can donate to find you a specialist, with the money it'll help and we want you better Dan, you need the help and I think you should let us help you :)
😁😁😁😁😁😁
destructivebeans 😁😁😁😁😁😁 indeed my friend, 😁😁😁😁😁😁 indeed
Yeah, that's what I was thinking to be honest. I don't know how to find ear specialists, but they must be available privately and maybe we could fund him to reach and find a leading specialist in his field or something.
#donate for bulls
#DONATEFORDANBULL (start this guys!)
This sounds maddening. Hope you find out what it is and get it fixed. Stay strong and know that you are not alone.
OMG! Gopher! loves your vids especially the skyrim mod sanctuary and i hope you keep doing them! I also agree with you on his ear case its so sad D:
I love this sincere congregation of sympathetic UA-camrs. Who said camaraderie on UA-cam was dead?
Gopher man! Didn't expect you here :D Nice to see that so many Yooutubers get their best wishes to him - i think he will need it.
I love your voice Gopher, I hope Dan gets better so that he can hear your sexy voice further C:
AiceFlow Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back ;)
Have you tried gong to a dentist/jaw surgeon? It sounds like it isn't actually your ears, which is why ear specialists don't find anything; but it's your jaw joints. Like their infected and swollen and thus put pressure on your ear drums producing the popping sounds.
vote this up
I would +1 (ugggh google plus) but I'm mobile
Trey Schell Funny,I can only +1 on mobile and only like on pc
A maxillofacial surgeon is what people on Reddit are calling them.
This. 100%. These symptoms indicate a jaw issue.
Beethoven was completely Deaf when he wrote his greatest symphonies
Thomas Bangtler from Daft Punk has Tinnitus
What I'm trying to say is that some of the greatest musicians have some type of hearing disorder that pushed their talent to the limit
I developed hearing problems in the last few months aswell even though I've limited the volume on my iPod for a few years now and don't listen loud music anymore
Just letting you know you're not alone
+HaveANiceDay You compared some guy in Daft Punk with tinnitus to Beethoven lmao
+HaveANiceDay I would hate it if I got a hearing disorder cause I play he base to rock and the only way to make rock un is to play it loud
It was hard for me to watch this...
it was harder for him to make it.
Disdain for Plebs So true
We should all donate a bit of money to Dan via Patreon or Kickstarter, so he gets the money he needs to find the right specialist, get there and then get the treatment he needs. Who's with me?
Love this idea!
Briliant idea!
***** Yes, but the NHS is far too slow, and he's already tried several NHS doctors - we need to identify a doctor who will be able to help him, and get them to help him immediately :E
***** just looking for ways to get help, some guy on Reddit (social media) just posted a link to the site in the description of this video
I don't think money is the problem, I think it is finding the specialists or some one willing to try and help further.
No, Dan, you're wrong. Music isn't the only thing you're good at.
You're also good at being a really nice guy.
Doesn't get him paid though lol.
I'm sure he'd appreciate the compliment if he saw this comment, though.
Being a nice guy won't pay his bills though...
the fuck man, all youre thinking about is the money. while its true, just appreciate rob's lovely comment.
Very True. Hope you get some new experimental treatment options.
I did never say that being nice would pay the bills.
There are many things which pay the bills that you don't necessarily have to be "good" at. I mean pretty much anyone (obviously excluding a very small amount of people like quadriplegics, for example) can mop a floor or work at McDonald's.
But Dan doesn't want to do that and nor would I want him to. It's just that when I hard him say that he was bad at everything but music, I knew he was wrong.
The fact that you are persevering despite all this makes you my idol
I’m going through a very similar thing dude.... at uni studying music production, finally doing something I love... was working on a mix and compressing drums, had it too loud and I had a sinus infection at the time. The sound pressure pushed mucus into my inner ear and fucked up my hearing completely, couldn’t look at a screen, couldn’t walk in a straight line, couldn’t listen to music or play piano anymore... even a car going past me would shake my head... I’ve learnt to take more breaks, keep making music (even though it fucking kills) keep using ear drops n also trying to hear past the tinnitus and pressure, you can do it bro... it will get better, your brain adapts and works around it but you gotta be prepared and believe that it can do it, trust me mate... I send you all my positive energy’s bro, peace
Dan bull. Do NOT quit UA-cam but take a break. If it's a week or 1 year we WILL wait for you to return. Don't push yourself too hard.
Dan you take as long as you have to true subs will wait and I love your music thx
GZam14 Agreed when a youtuber stops posting video's he stops getting a regular income I'll try to do my best to explain
A youtuber gets money per ad seen (wich is less than a cent per ad) so when he/she uploads a video a lot of the subscribers will wach that video and see an ad
Old video's also produce ad revenue but they don't get regualrly watched by a good chunk of the subscribers (seriously when was the last time you went and rewached a video from someone you are subbed to :P)
So in conclusion: Every new vid posted is a sudden income of money and an old vid is a slow trickle of money coming in (usually not enough to live on)
I hope that cleared things up a bit :D
Dextar300 I listen to Dan's Game Raps playlist all the time when I game, so I re-watch them all the time, however, I use Adblock, but I may figure out how to disable it to him.
Dextar300 So then if all of his subscribers rewatched one of his videos a day he could get an income still? If thats the case then ***** you need to make a video explaining your situation and ask that of us because one video a day won't hurt us and will help you. just dont make things worse
(I'm putting this here to see what people think about it)
Holy crap Dan! I knew you had some problems, but I didn't know they had gotten this bad D: I feel so sorry for you! I'm no expert or anything, so I have no clue what could help, but I do have something that could help a little bit. Sometimes I get sick in a way that my throat hurts very bad whenever I swallow, (I missed a week of school once because of it) but I found that I only ever seem to swallow or notice it when I'm thinking about it, so I would always do stuff like read or write stories, or play video games, and various other things to avoid it. Maybe you can try, maybe it won't help, but where's the harm in trying right?
Hey Dan,
I've had something extremely similar to you in regards to your jaw, the stiffness, and clicking/cracking in the ears and jaw for me was caused by temporomandibular jaw dysfunction from clenching/grinding my jaw unknowingly or in my sleep. I thought my jaw and ear where 2 different issues I would get frustrated and try to clean my ear out a lot, I ended up getting an ear infection which lead to my ears popping constantly. my doctors referred me to a dentist, who got me setup with a retainer that would stop my jaw clenching when I sleep at night, and muscle exercises to help relax my jaw and after a couple months the cracking and clicking has gone down to a minimum.
Hope you get everything sorted and get well soon,
-Winter
Please please please go to his post in the description! It has an email address to send him any ideas of things that could help contained in the post!
***** same here doesnt it kinda feel like theres something stuck in your ear
I've had three operations for TMJ issues; 20k for one side. Thank fuck for health insurance.
I had the same problem at age 22, but my wife Jackie reminds me that was a while ago...
man go on post this on the link in the description if you want to help him
Really hope you get better man, I enjoy listening to your music as much as you enjoyed making it, hope this hearing problem doesn't affect your life anymore
you are the most inspiring, awesome and brilliant UA-cam creator I have ever come across. All my thanks go to you ,for pushing through a rough period in your life. All my support goes to you.
Dan whatever happens we will always be behind you 😪
That's creepy :/ LOL
Yeah Dan we will always support you
some so us will always be there to help you btw i am going through the same sort of thing at the moment and my older sister will never work again because of the NHS messing up dont worry dan
we hope you will get better soon
Sounds a bit rapey
Get well soon Dan! Keep your head up!!!
This is heart breaking, you can really hear it! Hope you are recovering better now, you are a great rapper!!
I've never cried at a video like this. Dan you're frikin amazing. Even though you're in so much pain , you just power through it trying your best, that's so fucking inspirational. I want you to know you're not alone and your not isolated, You're great, and everyone will always back you up :)
You have TMJ. *EDIT* Just now saw that you already had it in your description.
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction
Consult a doctor if you have a medical concern.
Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders (TMJ disorders) are problems or symptoms of the chewing muscles and joints that connect your lower jaw to your skull.
My mother had this, it started with her ears, and then moved to her jaws, and they were in pain. See a doctor and mention TMJ and see what he says. Consult multiple doctors
Hope you get better as I have had ear problems all my life and I know how much they suck. They keep you from talking and interacting with people because you can barely hear yourself over the constant popping and cracking.
iHuzza Oh thanks, I did not see that it was in the description.
***** His description already lists TMJ as what he believes he has which I did not see.
STLWBK No problem man. good edit :)
Do what this guy says WHATever can help your awesome and
Give a link to this comment to Dan Bull's contact email pls
Damn, this is terrible to hear. Hope you get through this Dan, Reddit and The Legion Of Feminists wish you the best.
Berta Lovejoy, Feminist, Promoter Of Equality, Love, and Peace.
Never expected to see YOU here. :D
That was.... actually very nice...
Hopefully you're not a Feminazi
jaimey de heus if you had seen her comment on one of nerdcubed's mystery videos you'd know she kinda is.
Despite you're feminazism, I'm glad people like you find it possible to be pleasant.
I can see how hard this is, really hope you get better. I just want to give you a hug, your great for not giving up, you are truly an amazing person.
I've been a fan of you for a while, Dan. Ive been in a few emotional situations where your music has helped me. You lead the league of legends and you kicky kick flows. You've become a great person and I hope you become greater. We love you!!!
Before he asked "Don't know if you heard that", I heard it pop. Twice. This sounds horrible, I really hope you can get better.
Yeah, I heard it too.
Sully da man I heard it as well. Dan, I really hope you get better. I don't mind you not posting any new videos so long as you get better.
I'm so, so sorry I can't do anything to help you, Dan. my mom's a doctor, but she deals more with brains. I wrote down the stuff you posted on your website and asked her to show to people at her hospital, and made sure she explained the situation with people telling you to just ignore it. Nothing came of it... It's not a very prestigious hospital anyway... I wish I could help. I really hope you find some way to fix it, and if it cost a lot I would gladly donate whatever I can, but there's really nothing I can do other than cheer you on, which makes me feel useless. I really hope you can leave all this behind as a sad period of life that made you stronger, some day. Good luck, and whatever you do, just never give up :)
Did you thank your mom? She's a doctor, she would have to see him to not make judgements and properly evaluate, anyways. Just sayin man.
I too, if I had money, would be glad to donate
NHS is in the UK, so we get free healthcare.
Hey, you're almost to one million! You've done great so far, I hope your condition hasn't worsened any. And for whatever this is worth, I wish you good luck
Will be here all the way for you man! Try and stay positive, no matter how hard it gets we are here and will keep supporting you any way we can.
Dan, by all means take a break. If you're hurting yourself making videos, then take a vacation. Look at different specialists and WHEN (not IF) you're cured, make a triumphant return. Do not hurt yourself making videos, we understand what you're going through (Well, not really, but we understand the pain its causing you). You are a strong man, Dan, but even the strong need their rest.
I could be stress related, as it seems to get you nervous.
Really Dan get well soon we don't need vids
Yer take a break
I also agree with Sanguinius.Dan I know you love making rap songs on youtube, but take some time off to rest and we'll still be here,waiting for your amazing amazing return,plus that does'nt mean we'll unsubscribe you :)
I can only echo the comments below - right now, music isn't important. You're an amazing fucking talent, you can afford to take a month or two off and get to the bottom of this. We won't go away. We are all pulling for you, and hope you can sort this out. I am beginning to think too it might be a bone/skeletal problem rather than ear specifically - if it's that loud that even we can hear it ON CAMERA that has to be properly severe. And it seems to happen when you swallow or make certain movements.
I think the same, it can not be an ear problem if we can here it
The problem is that he doesn't get paid if he doesn't upload videos and he hasn't uploaded in a litle while already... but i don't know how his financial situation is so he might be able to take the time off...
Gonçalo Franco He does get paid by the ad revenue on his old videos.
It does not create enough profit to live on though. If he uploads a new video it would get lots of views at once and that is what creates the profit
Jake Emms Not creating a lot of profit is different from having no profit at all, is what I'm saying.
It’s Sharon again... i cried watching this. It’s debilitating and I feel your pain!! I’m going to watch more of your videos. You are NOT ALONE!! I’m recovering from surgery right now. There IS HOPE!!! Message me if you want to message or talk, if you can. I had hyperacusis, middle ear myoclonus, and also I have sensory myoclonus- all due to Lyme disease. What a heart felt video. Xx
Keep Strong Dan. You're my favourite youtuber by far and I really do look up to you. I cannot image the pain and distress you are feeling but I know you'll get through this. The NHS are horrible in diagnosing young people (under 35), it might be better if you go private. I know that from experience. Get better soon and thank you for explaining your pain to us all. We appreciate your thoughtfulness for us x
Damn Dan... It's amazing... This disease is destroying your life and you still want to make good videos and raps for us ? Man, you're freaking awesome... I mean... Thank you very much. You know, if you really feel you cannot stand it anymore, it's ok... You do not have to continue. You can drop all of this now. You've made such an incredible and awesome work through the years... It was amazing :). We'll never forget you, you know. You're my best singer, I admire you, we all do. There's nothing I can do for you right now but letting you know we all LOVE you, and that no matter what you'll do, we'll support you. By the way, you said you were kind of "insulted" because no one can understand it and because it's all in your head... Don't think like that. People can understand, we all do. You're a Rap God, and as a god, we'll always love you. You're our god, Dan. All your fans will always be there for you, no matter what. You're an angel on this earth to be ready to sacrifice your comfort to make us enjoy your talent. You're my hero, Dan :).
Fuck this sounds rough
I really hope you find out how to fix this
Dexter you like Dan bull?
These days i'm seeing every UA-camr commenting on every UA-camr's video's.
Druzbez Idontcareatall Well, the famous ones.
Well British guys got to stick together :/
sounds rough ?,no pun intended ?
You have my absolute 100% support. You'll get better that is FOR SURE. And I know you will overcome it until it gets better. You have all support and love from France. I still think you're skyrim rap is the best. And good luck with this! It is definitely going to get better.
This brought me to tears when I first watched this video (nearly 2 months ago), it's ridiculous the situation you're in.
I've been watching you since early 2013 and have recently made this account to subscribe and help you to 1 million subs because you are one of a very few who really deserve it. The fact that you're still making good, solid music is truly astounding. I never liked rap but you really have altered my opinion and widened my musical horizons.
Hope this will get better soon and know that everyone is supporting you all the way through this, you are one hell of a man. Try to keep laughing and motivated, it doesn't suit you to be sad!
That's just not fair mate :( You try so hard, hope you can keep doing what makes you happy.
Hey Dan,
we met in London last year. It's sad to hear that you have these symptoms. We both hope you will get well soon and that everything will work out fine for you! You're such a nice fella!
Felix & Marius
Thank you guys! We remember chatting to you on the bus and in the studio :) Hope all good in your world? Thanks for lovely wishes, we all hope Dan gets better xx "F*** the ______ (health problems)
PS: all the best to you from Caroline ;)
Keep pushing! We will always be by your side, Dan! You're not alone.
love and support from the states. you're an awesome person no matter what your body tries to do to you.
Doctors can prescribe a weak steroid nose spray to clear the mucus in the eustatian catarrh. I had ETD and it helped alot, it removed my clicking and cleared my Eust. Tube so i could talk freely and swallow without crackles :) hope this helps get well soon
click the link TELL HIM DUDE, thousands of people are commenting do your comment will get buried fast, it may not be a fix but it might help him a lot.
XIII1987 Thanks for mentioning, i have added it as a comment to the artcle on his site
Yup thats what i said! :) hope it helpes him
Creative Lemon i hope it doesnt get buried by " get well soons" because while they r nice, this could be of use to him
i know what he's going through, with his ETD and its horrible, but apparently there is hypnotherapy which trains you to ignore it to the point that its not there.
..
Maybe come over here in the US. Nebraska has one the best hospitals in the world. They even sent some people infected with ebola there for the best treatment. I'm sure they can find a way to fix up your ears. I really hope you get better Mr. Bull.
*NEVER GIVE UP*
He simply cant because of the journey in the plane would be painful as fuck
I would say France, Switzerland, or Germany. We have awesome hospitals here.
American hospitals are awful, no way he would do that. Its bad healthcare and the they make you pay for it!! Stupidest shit, he won't find much better than British hospitals.
Nazka231
and he wouldn't even have to fly =)
hahahahahahahhahahahahaa
Supporting him and suggesting something is great but....
hahahahahahahhahahahaha
It saddens me to hear that you get this infection, you're an amazing artist, and I aswell as many other enjoy your work and feel with you.. You're stressed out, worried about your carrier here on youtube, we will always support you even in these bad times, and we hope you get cured soon enough.
From what i hear, it sounds like an Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, as you said.. Since it spreads to the jaw.
Don't push yourself over the edge to provide content, we understand you
Good luck dan, thanks for not giving up on UA-cam, I'm a huge fan of your work so I know many people are, hope you gets better as soon as possible.
My heart goes out to you...I can't imagine what that must feel like. I feel helpless and I wish there was some clear way to help. I hope you can find a way to keep doing what you love without it causing you pain.
Don't worry or feel guilty about not doing anything on the channel, the vast majority of us just want you to get better soon so you can do what you enjoy and we enjoy watching.
I am so sorry that you have to go through this shit. I love your videos and I think it is the most admirable thing in the world that you have decided to keep pushing forward. I will be praying for you.
Sorry to hear, Dan. Do whatever you need to do to get better, I hate to see a person as awesome and kind and loving as you in as much pain as you are.
Get well soon, bud! Much love + wishes from me down South England.
Dan. I understand your pain. I do, believe me, I can actually comprehend your pain. For the last 4 years of my life I have lived with a continuous migraine. I mean continuous. Non stop. 4 years of migraine level pain and not a single break. Not a single moment of relief except when I broke down and went to the the ER for serious injections. Dan I can understand what you are going through. I've dealt with this kind of pain, this torment. You cant give up. You can't stop fighting. Don't let the pain control you. I've had the depression that it comes with. But you have something I didn't. You have the support of your entire UA-cam community behind you. You have thousands of people behind you that care for you and want you to keep fighting. We need you to keep fighting. I've been a long time fan of your game raps and they actually helped me get through some hard times in the last 4 years. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you Dan. Thank you for helping me fight. Now let us help you. I love you Dan, and I'm not afraid to say it. We all love you. Keep fighting. For yourself, for us. We have your back. I've got your back. Never give up Dan.
-All my love and support,
Colt

Hope you recover soon bro, your raps are amazing and to know that it hurts you to make them and that you carry on is truly inspiring.
This is literally the first video I've seen of yours, and i can't even comprehend how frustrating your condition is, but you have my well wishes and hope you get the answers and results you need. Best of everything to you.
My gosh Dan, I'm so sorry to hear about this. You're a wonderful guy Dan and one of my favorite UA-camrs, and not just because of your content but because you're a wonderful person. It's so painful to see you in this state, and my heart goes out to you in many ways. I've no doubt that those of your followers here that are religious are keeping you in their prayers, and all of us are keeping you in our hearts. I hope you can find some way to relieve this pain, and I'm not just saying that because I enjoy your videos, I'm saying that because I hate seeing someone as great as you suffer like this. Take care man, here's hoping for a discovery of treatment ASAP.
We can see just how much discomfort it's causing you and, I'm sure, I speak on behalf of every one of your subscribers when I say that you deserve better and I hope you can find a way to be rid of this problem. Here's to Dan!
Dan, i rarely give my opinion on videos like this but i honestly hope you get better. I can't stand to see one of my absolute favorite UA-camrs of all time in this amount of pain. If there was any advice or help i could give to you i would surely give it to you. But the only thing i can give you is my support. Once again, i hope you get better Dan.
i hope you get better soon dan,you're the reason i started youtube.you're amazing.
Hi Dan,
I'm not one for commenting on videos but from watching this we can really see that it has taken a toll on you. Although I cannot offer any support with your condition I do wish you all the best and hope that this is rectified for you soon. Please don't feel like you have to upload videos as this won't help the situation and will only make you feel worse.
Do what you need to do because you want to not have to. Your health comes first.
Take Care
Jon
Don't worry Dan, you CAN beat this. And if by some small chance, you lose your hearing, (we all know it's sadly a possibility), you will always be our genius. Like Amadeus Mozart, you shouldn't let it get to you.
Good luck Dan! We'll be cheering you on all the way man!
I feel very bad for you Dan, I appreciate the high amount of commitment and how open you talk about it.
I can go as far to say I somewhat understand your problem, since I have a minor case of whatever that is too, the crackling sound coming from the stretching of the jaw that makes your ear crack. The Docs couldn't understand me either, and kept searching but didn't find anything. :(
I really hope they find out what that thing in our ears is and that you can at least have it shut down to a level where you can live a normal life again.
Keep us up to date.
It's nice to know that you put all of your subscribers before your own problems. I'm praying for you Dan!
You need an MRI to take a look at the action of your jaw movements on your ears. Your actual ears are working fine -- this is a mechanical problem and it can be fixed.
Your jaw problems come from you constantly trying to avoid making the noises. It's just the stress of dealing with this new problem. That will go away once you identify the source of the sound.
You also should have a high-frequency microphone inserted into your inner ear to record the sounds your jaw movements are making.
Yeah, exactly! His ears work fine. I have the similar problem but his problem is much worse than me. It's definetly a jaw(joint) problem.
*****
I also had an MRI. It could be the jaw thing, but it could also be something in his inner ear. That's why this is so shit
One caution with the MRI. It's *extremely* loud. There are a couple MRI machines in England which are quieter I believe. None in the US I could find. But with your current acoustic sensitivity, if you decide to get an MRI research where you can find the audio reduced ones.
***** You could also possibly asked to be put under for the duration of the MRI. They do practically sound like a washing machine spinning a million miles an hour full of bricks.
Dan, man, this was heartbreaking. I really hope there is someone out there that can help you. The people who love what you do music wise will be here to support you even if you disappear for a long while and get sorted. Stay strong you're so god damn fucking talented.
Aww Dan, I'm crying now. It isn't the end for you, I'm glad that you aren't giving up, and you are CERTAINLY not alone.We all adore you and are thinking of you, if I could help you financially, I would. I don't know my ENT very well, but as I meet with him for consults about an upcoming deviated septum surgery, I'll try to drop your link on him.
I don't have any advice that I can give you but I will send as much love as I can. Been subscribed since your League Of Legends Rap 2 years ago and I just fell in love with your flow and rhymes and still love your music to this day. Wish you the best of luck with finally finding treatment for the problem
Go to an allergist dude! I've been experiencing the same symptoms as you, and it turns out dust mites and grass are the culprits. Inflammation due to allergens cause excess mucus and blockages in the eustachian tubes. Go get an allergy test and see what is causing the inflammation, reduce your exposure to said allergens and your hearing with be back to normal. Or get allergy shots.
For temporary relief (until you see an allergist), buy a Neti pot and ask your doctor for a corticosteroid ( in Canada its called Pulmacort) ampule(s). Mix one ampule with the Neti pot saline solution and flush your sinus twice a day. Makes a world of difference.
Hope this helps.
Dan, you're a great guy. I'm not a rapper, or even a musician, but your videos have been a huge inspiration to me in working with my creative side (I do drawings. Well, sketches mostly). Please believe me when I say that you can take all the time you need for this. If you ever feel like you need a break, you can take one knowing you've earned it. We've been here for you through the good and through the bad, and we'll be here for you through this, whatever it takes. If you need to take a few more months off to figure this out, we'll miss your videos but we'll understand and we'll be here, at your back, when you get back.
Seeing that you don't have any comments yet, I hope for all things, that you can make through this and I hope, and i wished I could promise, for you to get better. I will pray for you until the day you get treatment, and even then I STILL hope I can pray for you. Please, do whatever YOU want do to, don't think about us anymore, it's a personnel problem that we, your subscribers don't understand the pain you go through, we can only give you sympthy, but not empathy. Everything you do, we will support you every step of the way!
I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling like this. I see the despair in your eyes and really hope you find a solution soon.
This isn't fair man :/ damnit. I'm praying for you Dan, you're very talented and you shouldn't have to suffer. Much love brother.
Good lord Dan, this is awful, what exactly is the problem to recovery here, can you elaborate? Is it just not being able to find a specialist who can help or is the issue funds? Have you been to a private doctor or a private specialist about this? If not locally have you considered globally? If money is an issue I'm sure if you launched a crowd funded campaign to raise the funds for private treatment that we'd all take care of that really fucking sharp.
I genuinely hope you get better, and it's not just internal, the pain in the video is obvious to anyone with a shred of empathy, I hope you can find a specialist who can help. Massive props for continuing to work during all this, but you don't owe us shit, if it's too much then take a break dude. Best of luck getting it sorted.
He has the details here: itsdanbull.com/health-problems/
Basically, the specialists he has seen have different ideas, and treat it as something minor, and the various treatments have failed. It is a diagnosis problem.
Guy On A Computer Yeah I've actually just read that, so it looks like everyone he's seen is someone local and mostly not specialists, he needs to get in front of a private practitioner and expert on hearing to get diagnosed, it's going to require travel probably, maybe abroad to find someone really good. My suggestion is to find the best he can, no matter where they're located then put a plan together to crowd fund the costs to get there and see them, get diagnosed.
As he said his music is his life and having a bad jaw and ears is a massive risk to letting him keep doing what he loves, there's enough incentive in the work he's already done for everyone to chip in and give something back to Dan to sort this out, I'm betting his fans would all donate at least a little, he'd soon fund private treatment.
That'd be my plan anyway.
***** I have been doing research. Maybe I can find a link for him to suggest to his doctors. Hell, the thousands of us working together, we'll find something, I am sure.
Dan I really hope u get batter man all your fans including me is here for you dude never lose hope we will follow you to the end get better soon dro
I've never wanted to give someone a hug this badly before.
I hope you get better quickly, Dan.
Almost cried listening to this man. You're one of my favorite artists. Watching you go would be the worst. Stay strong for the music but your health should be a priority.
Solution 1
I think some of your ear and haw problems are related to your temporomandibular joint and a condition called crepitis. Basically it's when either the joint grinds or extra stuff gets in the joint. This would cause pain in the joint during normal function and possibly popping noises through movement. I think surgery is the course of action to correct dysfunction.
Solution 2
I know it might be expensive and extreme, but I would recommend and exploratory surgery. Basically if medical imaging and tests cannot identify the problem, doctors open you up and take a look around as a last resort. They either do it with a small camera through a small incision or they truly open you up to look with their eyes. Depending where the procedure is done, it can have some risks. Mostly risks are associated to infection and bleeding risks but you should still be aware of them.
I also feel like your jaw pain is related to the way you're compensating for this problem. You're forcing your jaw to do things the way it's not supposed to. It's like lifting heavy weights without any proper form or training. The jaw cannot handle it and therefore that's why it's painful. You can tell this is true if you were to compare your speech and jaw movement between videos. In your earlier videos, your jaw is free and alot more mobile. In this video, you speak more through your teeth in a jaw clenching motion and your jaw doesn't open as wide.
2:40 Dear God, I did hear it. And that happens nearly every time you talk?!
Or eat, listen to loud sounds, or stuff like that.
God, It's really fucking loud.
Seriously, you can hear it on camera. I really feel for Dan, it must be agony to have this. Not just because it's horrible in general, but for a professional musician it must be killing.
Not only is it a serious thread for your carreer, but also mentally it must be horrible. I cannot imagine what Dan goes through :(
All the best for Dan. Hang on there, there must be an answer somewhere.
Yep but way louder.
Do you know that when you "crack" your ears eg when you want to "open" them (cant explain it in english). Better example: you hear bad, everythings is pretty silent but you know theres something making noise, you pop your ears and suddenly hear better.
Dang it, Dan is really in pain, and I'm really glad I'm not going insane because I heard it too
Had to put headphones on, but yeah....
Damn dude....I can have open heart surgery at 23 and barely blink at the idea, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't've lasted this long if I felt/heard that everytime I heard or said something.....
Unfortunately, I don't know of any ear specialists, but I truly wish you well, and do pray that you find a solution soon...
Good on you for not giving up! I did my school project on you as I love you so much! Don't give up! It will go away!
Don't feel isolated, Dan. I was born with heart disease and it is horrible! I feel isolated sometimes... You will get 1m subs by the end of the year!
I'm so sorry about your ear issues; I had an ear infection about a year back, and after that my ears cracked and popped to no end. Even though it's passed now I can hear everything a semitone sharp in my left ear, which really affects my music. So I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through the same issues only worse; we'll support you all the way Dan. :)
I wish you the absolute best in your recovery. You're one of the most talented UA-camrs out there, so (as many before me have said) if a break is what you need, none of us will mind. We will wait patiently for the gaming rap god to return. Good luck.
For TMJ Dysfunction as long as you are over the age of 19 for men and 16 for women then there is an operation where they brake your jaw and realign it in a new place to stop the clicking and pain.
Its called a double eminectamy I believe. My mum had one because she has tmj and it completely fucked her jaw up. It screwed up the balance in her inner ear which gives her awful motion sickness, her jaw click-clacks more than Thomas the dank engine and her face has drooped so she now looks different to when she did before the op. And the best part is the fact that the "specialist"
who performed the op says that it was a complete success and that all of the symptoms are in her head ( which I guess they are but that's beside the point )
Louey Hall it didn't work for my mum but it could work for others. I guess my mum was just unlucky...
Dan do what ever you need to feel better we will support you all the way
OMG Dan! i was just welling up watching this! Please dont give up Dan! we're all for you and love you to bits!
God damn man, I heard a few clicks in the start of the video, thought it was my speakers, or something around my house. I didn't realize *your* clicks were external... I really hope you feel better man, I love your raps, and hate to think that you were miserable making them!
Dan, we will stay here for as long as you need, if you need a break then take it, don't force you to keep dedicating your life to UA-cam if it affects your happines.
We will support you.
A fan from Belgium ...
The best I can do is wish you the best of luck! You nailed it when you said you were going to keep positive. I hope you get better as soon as possible and within a couple years I hope you will forget the pain you are experiencing.
Thank you dan bull for all the inspiring music you've made and continuing to do so despite your condition. I honestly think your music well live on for a long long time not only because of the games or the raps but because one has to but love and feeling in to it to do what you do and no one can do that the way you can.
I really hope someone helps you with this you do not deserve this. i pray that there will be some kind of way for you to be recovered. #FeelBetterDanBull
I will pray for you :) you have all my support! I really, really like your work. If you would find a specialist who knoww what is wrong with you. and you would have yo go through a expansive operation, then I and I think all of your other fans would donate money for your sake. I hope that someone out ther can help you.
Lol pray -_-
James Fedeeston lol, you believe that just because you don't have faith in a higher being other people shouldn't be allowed to
***** yes say something more offensive than what he said great job buddy real mature gj sinking to that guys level and even lower
Videogame 710
well generally the only problem i have with people saying "ill pray for you" or something like that is because its nothing more than saying "i hope you'll get better" but acting like it actually does anything as opposed to actually doing something
Praying wont do any good. May as well just of said "ill eat some nachos for you"
Don't leave Dan your music is awesome and amazing keep it up we are all behind you man.
your like the only rapper I actually respect, I really hope you get better, as I cant imagine how frustrating that must be.
Dan, shit, that's a horrific condition and I hope someone out there will help resolve the issue you have.
I once had a standard ear infection and that was the most painful condition I've ever experienced.
I've always enjoyed your content from the early b3ta days and I'm pleased you're determined to fight through your current difficulties.
Wishing you the best speedy diagnosis and recovery and if you ever need a friendly 'muted' multiplayer PS4 gaming session, get in touch.
kingsturgeon Damn, I think I was pi**ed when I wrote this! Typo galore. Sorry about that.
kingsturgeon You can edit comments now. :)
doh! Thanks.
man that's rough Dan, you've got my prayers.
I hope you get better man! Your raps are the greatest and I was waiting forever for you to be on ERB! Thanks man get better
don't give up dan, you have all your friends and fans supporting you 100%
I really hope someone out there knows wtf is going on with you. This news really sucks and I'm very sorry to her you're not any better. Good luck with this year though Dan. :)
me too king and i wov your vids too
ear infections do not simply go away there are ways to treat it though I have had it before and Dan please read this for you health lad if the doctors around your area are not helping you whatsoever then in that case you should go to either doctors in a different country or better doctors around a different region in your country I don't quite remember what I I'd to cure the ear infection but I will go search it up for you and post it here so your ears can get better
I have an uncle and I could ask him because he is a doctor
Metcan The Mage please do and reply quickly
send it to his business email freshnut@live.co.uk
well my uncle just said it probably started as the eardrum membrane got infected with some sorts as he states on the website with a cold but as Dan stated that he waited for two years which is never good it got really bad so I would just go to a really good doctor that is well known in your country for curing infections like Dan has. so my best reccomendation for you Dan is to not go to doctors that are nearby you but perhaps go to one in another city that can actually get work done
I just hope Dan gets better :(
Keep up the good work dan, stay positive, i've had the same problem as you do and i have been to quite a few different people about it and not a single one has been able to diagnose me with anything, it stops me from sleeping so im lucky to get 4 hours of sleep a night, it takes a massive toll on your overall state of mind, it is emotionally damaging and just fucks you up in so many different ways. After watching this video it has inspired me to not give up on myself, you have given me confidence that the problem will get fixed, stay strong and keep up all the good work dan we appreciate that you are still doing what you're doing despite this set back
You are a great man Dan Bull, you really are. Everything will work out. Just dont give up, never give up. Look for doctors, look for comfort in your friends Dan. You are truly a great man.
