You are the only doctor I have listened to about tinnitus who gets it. So many doctors, even ENT specialist, think there is a psychological component. They don’t present the physiology you comprehend. Thank you so much. Wish I could have a consultation.
Yep … this is my exact issue . Zero help yet . I’ve had to dig deep and figure things out for myself . It’s an ongoing process
Yep . Deviated uvula on that right side .
Psychological as in they think it isn't real or it's just not that bad? My emotions aren't causing it.
@@t.h.8475until they got it, then they will understand how severe and dangerous it is
This is the most amazing explanation I've ever seen about Tinnitus.
yep, next level
Indeed, Saved the video and take some notes. I went into two consultants here in Italy but no one found the cause of my tinnutus, still try to understand but now I have a more clear view based on the different tinnitus symptomps described. I'm more convinced causes are on cervical and or TMJ problems... many thanks
Wow This is the best explanation I have heard in all my research. I have a disc bulge between my C5 and C6 and have been dealing with horrible ringing and pressure in my left ear for 7 years now and they keep telling me it’s Maniers. I knew it’s because of my neck injury. thank you.
My c6 c7 are pushing on my spinal cord causing tinnitus, dizziness and a few other things
I have c5c6 stenosis and the same issue in my left ear
Thank you! That totally makes sense with all the neck/back problems I've had along with injuries. My frustration is finding someone to help me that understands this and can help me.
Boy does this make a lot of sense for what I have experienced on and off for 20 years!
Great info. I have a back surgery and neck fusion surgery and now I have tinnitus, I never had tinnitus in the past so this makes sense !
I have degenerative disc’s in my eco and started having tinnitus last October and it is now every day , very high pitched and I feel it is in direct relation to my neck problems, I am undergoing physical therapy for my neck pain and migraines from it also , thank you for this video, it explains a lot
Really solid explanation. My dentist insists tinnitus is caused by teeth grinding. My ENT insists it is neural feedback. The dentist thinks it can be cured with a mouthguard (it wasn't) and the ENT thinks it is incurable. I'm looking into bimodal stimulation to see if that will work, as it is less expensive for me than flying to Ft Myers.
Mine goes away for 7 to 10 days with a few drops of caster oil in each ear. When it starts getting bad again after approximately 10 days i do it again. Shalom!
@@bycracky22 awesome thanks for sharing
@@bycracky22 Shalom which is the brand of that drop caster oil???
@@bycracky22 this is really good to know. Is yours pulsatile or regular tinnitus? What caster oil do you use?
Have been living with tinnitus for about 10 years. It was gradual- off and on- over about a two year time span. Then it became full-time by 2011. It is a high-pitched hissing noise, reminds me of singing high-tension power lines. Recently, I had a couple days where I did not have the noise and I have no idea what made it stop. Then next day it was back. Also, I had noticed a few years ago, that if I had a lot of physical activity, such as working in the yard, cleaning house, lots of walking around, lifting or moving furniture for a day or two, exersise, it either temporary goes away or lessens to where it isn't as loud. However, later it comes back. Maybe it is a spinal/cervical connection? I used to get a lot of pain in my neck at my desk at work, but have not had that problem for a some time. Also, when I worked in a call center back in 2005-2007, I was exposed to some very loud high-pitched ear-piecing noises about twice or so per shift, that came through my headphones on outgoing calls. This noise all started about a six months or a year after leaving that job, so figured that was the cause. Now I'm not sure what the cause is.
It never goes away…. It’s simply your kind is blocking or out while you stay busy! Mine does it too but at the end of the day, when I stop and now relaxing, it’s back. But it never went away…
I was looking for a person with similar symptoms for a long time and I found you! :) I have the same symptoms that with more effort my tinnitus subsides. This is due to the fact that we have a problem with the neck and the bent vertebral artery. The artery is compressed and does not supply enough blood to the head, and tinnitus begins. As you work harder the pressure rises and more blood is pushed through this artery and the ear ear starts to work well. When I came back from the garden yesterday, I had no squeak at all, I measured my blood pressure, it was 145/95 and the noise disappeared, when the pressure dropped, the noise came back. Like me, you had a problem with your neck and a bent or compressed artery. Need to test blood flow with contrast. What is your noise level on a scale of 1 to 10? Has it increased over the years? do you hear the pulse of blood in your ear? If
@@freetracklaserclip3704 - That's interesting. Saw a video awhile back where a chiropractor was explaining about, I think, the inner carotid artery, being compressed. That is possible. Another theory (or maybe not a theory) by Dr. Eli Wallack- he wrote "Dead Doctors Don't Lie"- says it's osteoporosis of the scull but I think he mentioned about the nerves being compressed from scull bone shinkage. Either thing sounds a bit hopeless. I work at home so a lot of sitting at a desk. It's bad when I wake up, is most noticable or when quiet. It doesn't pulse but is a steady, rather high-pitched, hiss.
Wow! So grateful to have found this channel. Everything makes sense now. I am suffering for years but all my doctor's keep saying that nothing that can be done. I have almost all of these symptoms. The pulsating tinnitus is driving me insane. Thank you for the informative video❤🙏
@John America None so far, I keep going to go to different doctors only to be told there's nothing they can do except for me to stop drinking coffee, follow a healthy diet and dont stress😄. Still trying to find somebody in our country that has some knowledge. I do believe something can be done🤔 just having worked it out yet.
I had a mild pulsating tinnitus a couple of years ago for a few weeks. My physiotherapist was able to help me after I mentioned it to him. He massaged my neck a few minutes and tinnitus was gone in one session. It was amazing. He has also studied acupuncture too, so I don’t remember if he was treating acupressure points, I doubt it though.
@@satu4387
That sounds very promising! Thanks for posting.
@@satu4387 neck n shoulder tension are always mentioned. How r u now?
@@melodyebuskin5490 Pulsating tinnitus has stayed away, but came back recently when I travelled, sleeping on bad pillows etc. Funnily, I just had physio today. I mentioned it to the physiotherapist. He massaged a vagus nerve (in left ear) and it felt painful. Also, he pointed out tensed jaw on one side (left side). He suggested that I use a mouth guard when I sleep because I grind my teeth. My symptoms are related to neck (and it seems my jaw too!). I hope you are well!
Thank you for this clear presentation! I only have mild tinnitus, but I have long believed that my Eustachian tube dysfunction and trigeminal nerve discomfort are caused by an old injury in the cervical region. Unfortunately, here in Ontario medical specialists (in any field) are hard to find and most of them have learnt nothing since completing med school. If you have ETD your physician will refer you to an ENT specialist who will probably tell you that ETD is not a problem, or at best will advise you to use an antihistamine. It seems amazing in this day and age that we don't have doctors here in Canada who understand that spinal injuries and instability can cause neurological issues, but that certainly seems to be the case, from my experience. I have given up hope of ever getting any sort of help with my Eustachian tube dysfunction.
No diffrent here in the states. Most doctors here no matter the specialties are just pill pushers for big pharma. Sad deal. You can find a few holistic doctors that are competent.
I am also from Ontario, and you said EXACTLY what I was going to say. Cheers to you G!
Got my tinnitus from a viral head cold that went up the Eustachian tubes into the ears. ENT specialist told me to turn up the music. My DR prescribed nose spray and told me to live with it. After 1 year and diagnosing myself from the internet, I now taking antiviral meds for HSV and the tinnitus is MUCH better, almost gone after 3 days!
Update, now that the high pitched ringing has subsided from the viral inflammation, I can now also notice the pulsating(carotid artery or jugular vein) and low pitched(nerve?) tinnitus, which I probably had for many years but was minimal and hidden by the daily grind. I am now seeking a professional cervical diagnosis, thanks to Dr. R. Hauser's excellent video. And using a lower pillow, if any!
@@May-mh3er I'm glad you have got some relief and I hope it all works out for you! I have only been able to find one upper cervical chiropractor in eastern Ontario. I considered making an appointment but didn't find the information on his website convincing enough (though this video has revived my interest to some extent). Unfortunately, I have enough experience of chiropractic treatment to know that one session would not be enough to solve the problem, and the thought of a four-hour round trip on Highway 401 every time does NOT appeal!
@@May-mh3er you mentioned a lower pillow and maybe none at all. I’ve tried the latter and find it difficult to sleep. How did you do with no pillow? I’ve tried about 8 different pillows over the last two years.
I'm so glad I found this, I have had ringing in my right ear for years with repeated sinus infection on that side. Also degenerative cervical disc disease for 35 years. I am finally being being referred to a head and neck doctor.
And now your Tinnitus is gone right? NOPE so just forget about it....ignore it like I do my Mother in Law
@@joereidy5732 kinda hard to ignore it and not to mention not everyone has the same tinnitus, there is high pitch(probably the worst one) low pitch, heartbeat sound one, and some others
I’m pretty sure if everyone had low pitched tinnitus it’d be easier to ignore it but not everyone does
@@Unknownuserhtps Well, here's the problem my friend....there is no cure as far as I know. If there were a pill one could take, or a movement that one could perform and BAM tinnitus is gone....I'd do it but there is nothing. So logically what do you think the next best thing is?
@@joereidy5732 death💀
Lol jk I honestly don't know, my tinnitus just spiked probably because of my cold, hope it goes away so I can cheer on other people... feel bad for all of them especially those who have it super tough😢
@@Unknownuserhtps Sorry to hear that your tinnitus has spiked because of a cold. Try to keep in mind that while what we have is not fun there are plenty of other people who are fighting much worse. Would you trade places with a person in a wheel chair for example? Of course not. Everyone battle something my friend. Try to keep things in perspective. Ignore the screaming child! The more attention you give it the more it bothers you. be well friend 🙂
Thank God I literally stumbled across this very informative way of explanation. I've had tinitus for many years which has now become worse and just being told there is no cure. I am definitely going to ask for a specialist to look into it. Thank you !!
Hi Colleen, Glad it was helpful, and really sorry to hear about your ongoing tinnitus. If you feel that you want our team to potentially see you here in our center, you're welcome to reach out to us directly. We wish you all the best in health! Take care.
I have high-frequency severe T. One time I played a video on my phone to show my doctor what it sounds like. It’s a piercing shriek. He listened for a few moments and said, “Wow! That’s terrible. …Okay, you can turn that off now.”
I replied, “No. I can’t turn it off. I wish I could.”
Exactly! When one suffers with tennitis there is no such thing as quiet time.
I have to keep reminding people that the ringing in my ears is louder than their voices. I'm about to get a t-shirt about it so PERHAPS they'll be aware. 🤯👂
I have the same kind of T going on for 33 years. Happened with mycin-based ear drops. Nothing changes in the tinnitus world that I can see. Lots of clinical trials of all styles. I just had to get "used to it" which is not fun at all. I'm now 70 years old.
Hello. I suffer tinnitus since I was 18. I'n 26 now, and it also is a piercing shriek. I send you a hug.
@@soverycarrie8834 They are doing clinical trials of OTO-313. And injection to the ear. Its a double blind test so you don’t know if you get the drug or a placebo.
@@jorgeortiz1123 Around 16 or 18 for me, too. I’m now in my mid-60’s. Three distinct tones constantly playing. Not as bad as a piercing shriek.
As tinnitus may be related to vascular conditions, it seems reasonable to start by monitoring and, if necessary improving, one’s cholesterol (LDL), blood pressure and blood sugar levels through dietary, exercise, stress and sleep interventions.
While I agree with your suggestions, Janice, my cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose levels are beautiful. I'm sure I could benefit from from increased activity, who couldn't? I have a high stress career and suffer with insomnia. In my humble opinion, insomnia and being overstressed are correlated with tennitis. It's a viscous cycle!
I can only dream of finding a resolution for this, literally, deafening noise in my head! 🙏
Me, me, my, my, I. 🤣
In spite of it all I maintain a wicked sense of humor.
@@brenda9265 hi have you tried Chlorophyll, it helps with sleeping problems, my husband suffer from tinnitus and for obvious reasons he has a poor sleeping patterns, it’s hard for him going to sleep and staying sleep, I take it because I’m not a veggie fan, but I know how important they are in our diet, so I’ve been taking it for over a month , and it really improve my 😴 , I was taking magnesium , and my husband as well but it did nothing for him to help with insomnia, but last week he asked me if will be good idea for him to try Chlorophyll and I said give it a try, and boy that put him to sleep right away snoring and all, and he’s been having such rested night since his taking it, so maybe give a try, I hope it helps.
@@Maracz47
Thank you so very much. I will certainly look into that! It would be nothing short of a miracle!
@@brenda9265 and did it helped?
@@sams81
I haven't tried it yet. Other, more urgent, issues arose.
Thank you for your interest.
Thankyou so much Dr. Hauser I've had ETD eustachian tube dysfunction and tinnitus since 22 yrs. No till date has explained the cause with so much precision & clarity. I've had cervical issues since a long time though nothing severe. Yet it seems chronic issues can gradually create other problems. Iwas tired of hearing it was psychological.
We are so sorry to hear that you have been struggling with this for 22 years. You are so correct that these types of chronic pain issue cause many other problems. We would love to help you find some healing - give us a call at 239-308-4773!
I have cervical stenosis and my hearing so I understand more now my nerves in my right hand numbness thank you ,excellent presentation you give......I'm in the uk
Glad to see an M.D. on this subject. I have had 35 radiation treatments for throat cancer, yes it worked however I now have tinnitus. Could this have caused it? Thanks very much.
Great explanation Dr. What about the Tmj Dysfunction and tinnitus relation! The cervical instability could be the result of TMD which can be corrected by an Gnathologyst. Please explain this important subject in your future videos. Thank you again for the video.
Hi Semih, Thanks for the question. We cover this in more detail in our Costen's syndrome video: ua-cam.com/video/1VjzMcsiAtA/v-deo.html Wish you all the best in health!
I tried everything; have tinnitus, chronic nausea, headache. All tests look good. No prolotherapy around here
The first time I had the worst vertigo was after my first jet flight. For months I would go to a doctor to get antibiotics and then was sent to a ENT and he said “Oh. I can have you healed in 30 minutes”. He gave me some exercises to do and sure enough! I was all cleared up! I still do those exercise every time I get the least sign of vertigo.
When I was young there was a phrase people used to say. “They’re rocks are off.” Now I know what that means. The crystal’s in the inner ear are out of sync.
Can you please share your exercise
@@ricardo.i.i.i lie down across your bed, on your back,face up, but with your head hanging off the side of the bed. Everything you see should be upside down. If you can locate the direction from where your dizziness is coming from, turn your head to that direction and leave it there until the dizziness stops. Don’t turn your head back straight or to the other side. Begin to raise yourself up seated on your bed. Your feet should be straight out in front of you.
Turn head looking straight and repeat the same exercise until the dizziness is gone. Could take you up to 30 minutes. Don’t rush it. Just take your time. If you are unable to raise yourself up from the laying position, you may need someone to help your raise up to the seated position. I have pretty good abdominal muscles and have never needed help.
Hope this works for you! It does for me every time!
Thankyou..
Can you advise what the exercises are please ???
Watching this a year later... I have tinnitus(a high constant ringing). I get lightheaded from time to time. I have an inconsistent high systolic BP(one day it's good, the next it isn't). I've had a CAC scan and I have a little plaque in my LAD(index of 120). I've had my carotids scanned and their bilateral functionality was perfect. I have no other diseases, and a BMI of 18. I'm on a 40mg statin. No other medications. I'm a former athlete and have crashed many times cycling. Including a slow speed head on with a car(lucky to be alive actually, walked away. Mild concussion. Windshield glass in my shoulder).
I've recently had an MRI and have spinal Stenosis, caused by a combination of disc herniation (C2-C6), arthritis, and a modic type II observation on C4. I've never had a brain scan, or a diffused MRI to measure spinal cord health. And I have even worse issues in my lumbar spine. Luckily my thoracic spine is perfect.
Next week I see a Neurosurgeon.
So, weird question, would cervical spine issues increase ear wax production (on one side). And would these issues cause vitreous detachment?
Thank you so very much! I have terrible ringing and a dull roar in my ears. I have an ENT and he has never suggested any testing such as you described. I'm calling him today and asking for the ultrasound!
The ringing is so bad I swear they could utilize it in order to get high security information from Homeland Security!
Finally, I'm hopeful that there may possibly be a remedy for this condition that affects so many functions of everyday life.
I’ve had it since a young child but the ringing has morphed to loudest decibel ever had. I use to be able to walk by houses and hear if someone’s tv was on.
@@hopeforthefuture8680 I'm sorry to hear that. I know the feeling. It's very frustrating. I'm so tired of asking people to speak up, turn towards me when speaking to me and to turn up volume on the tv. After years one would think they'd know. It's like a disability that's not apparent.
I would give almost anything for a cure.
Brenda how long you had the ringing? Mines just started about 2 weeks ago and I believe is highly due to my two months of wearing teeth aligners for the first time. 🙄
Have any success so far really trying to see what test I should get done
@@hopeforthefuture8680 that's actually surprising to me, because I have had tinnitus all my life and didn't know it was a problem. But strangely enough, I could tell where someone was in a room when the TV was on, because the i.f. circuits made an extremely high pitch that I could sense, and anyone moving would change it.
I have tinnitus for 18 yrs now.
I very well knew all that different pitch sounds inside my ears😢
It's a torture every minute and every second of my life.
My ears are ringing now been that way for decades. I just ignore it best I can.
I've had tinnitus for many years now. How do I deal with it? I ignore it.
Exactly what is happening to me. Soon will see doctor and have this information. Too bad you are so far away. But I have tremendous information. Thank you doctor. Is there a cure? Not crazy about invasive treatment. Excellent video? You’re awesome!
Hi Doc I have a question, I have tinnitus but what really concern me is vertigo this common appears after I suddenly turn my neck fast. My back neck muscles are tight. How I can resolve my vertigo. Thanks
Excellent presentation. Thank you very much.
Thank you - glad it was helpful!
Good afternoon from South Africa. At last someone that understands this..... After my huge car accident 2009. I was diagnosed with Genelized Diffused Brain damage and in a coma - TBI. (Thanks to heavenly grace I live today to tell the story) I saw quite a few Neurologists, Phycoligists, Drs, CT and MRI scans and and and. One Dr diagnosed me with Diffuse axonal injury. One Dr diagnosed me with PTSD. Another Dr said when I complained about the constant high pitch in my ears. That I have a mood disorder. None of the Drs believed me or simply do not know this medical condition. It's very difficult to get a good nights rest or study for exams with the constant noise in my ears. Any advice for me? Shalom.
I have the deviated uvula, tinnitus, visual snow, and other symptoms. This makes so much sense. I am working with a NUCCA Chiro now but plan to get to caring medical some time.
We are so glad that we could bring some light on your situation! We pray for complete healing as you start this journey!
I wish you had videos that comment on myoclonus of stapedius and tensor tympani. I'm having big issues with this. The symptoms are either relieved or intensified for a few days only with certain manipulations of the neck. Very hit and miss. And every doctor I have talked to in Canada claims there is zero connection between neck and ear. None. They refuse to discuss it.
Thank you for the comprehensive and detailed explanation :)
Excellent explanation! At least now I begin to understand something more than "it's in your brain" reason and "try this or that supplement" to see if it goes away.
Brilliant, with great information. Thank you. The yellow aesthetic is masterful.💐
Wow, great explanation!
yes may neck is pain😪may ear ringin..i can sleep..i therapy my self for the sound..
It's mainly insulin resistance from what I hear. A deficiency in benfotiamine. I'm sure chiro helps as well.
I’ve read this and Dr Berg says this too. Did the benfo help? I tried it along w many other supps but no diff. My issue is neck.
Benfotiamine is a lab-made version of vitamin B1, also called thiamine. Scientists are studying it to see if it might help conditions like diabetes-related nerve damage, Alzheimer's disease, and alcohol dependence. Early research into the potential benefits of benfotiamine has shown some promise.Dec 8, 2021
I have had incredibly sensitive hearing in my left ear for around 4 years, that seemed to develop over night. To this day It's the same and worse. I get daily tinnitus, that worsens as the day progresses. I get upper left back pain right under the neck daily, really bad pressure head aches, and ear clogging in my left ear after eating, every single time I eat. I even have developed panic disorder because of how negative these symptoms have impacted me.
I have seen multiple ent's , audiologist, neurologist, and had mri done of the brain multiple times, and haven't been provided with any clue as to what's wrong, as of now.
I'm writing this now with bad anxiety as I have bad neck pain tinnitus and head pressure at this moment.
I have a cervical CT scan I am going to get done on Wednesday and I am hoping the doctor sees a problem that could be causing this.
Anyways, thanks for doing what you do, and providing comprehensive in depth information as to what could be causing peoples tinnitus an other symptoms, as it's i think overlooked at how negatively impactful it can be on peoples mental health.
Hi Doc!🙂
Thank you for this video. My question is can straight neck, and Tinnitus with ear fullness be treated without any surgery? What is the best treatment? Thanks
I have the same exact issue you described. Any answers? Anyone, please?
@@BeeBallin4Life I still don't know the best treatment yet, I have done so many therapies until now. But now I am taking this medical rehab therapies which include neck retractions and lasers. Only did 1 retraction yesterday. I 'll get back to you if this is the answer.
@@its_me_Vera how it going? Are the neck retractions the McKenzie method?
@@melodyebuskin5490 I dont know the method but it helped a lot. I went to see Sport Injuries doctor in my area, he combined neck traction, diathermy (red light) and ENT. I felt better.
@@its_me_Vera I tried red light therapy but no change in fact it created more inflammation. But massage balls on neck/shoulders, yoga, mediation all help,
Excellent video, thank you 💪
I’ve been dealing with tube dysfunction for about two weeks now and decided to UA-cam tinnitus tonight and clicked on your video by complete mistake and glad I did.
I didn’t think the two were related, I even looked it up on Google about a week ago with no results.
I have it in both ears, in the left more. 6y now..
So what do we do about it??
An excellent video explaining three of my tinnitus sounds. But it does not explain why I can wake up at 3 to 4 am with no tinnitus and without moving it starts a few minutes later with either a loud hissing or rotary sound or both. This suggests a role for adrenalin / cortisol. To support that I find if I then go for a vigorous walk the tinnitus either goes away or becomes very low. However simply sitting in a chair can start it up again suggesting a role for the SCM, trapezium or splenius muscles pulling on the cervical vertebrae. I also see a role for the fascia in this problem. I also experience fullness in the ears, one or both with a sharp pain as well as deftness as well as trigeminal pain in my jaw but again intermittent. All this points to cervical instability linked to tight tendons caused by age - I am 84 and had this problem for five years but since it is intermittent it is more of an inconvenience than a major problem that I have learned to ignore. .
Hey Peter, thanks for sharing part of your story! We would love to help you address these symptoms head-on and get your life back!
This is excellent clinical science
How do you correct the curve in the neck?
Thank you, doctor for the great presentation. Now, how to find doc near me who will listen.
Thank you, thank you! This is exactly what I thought my problem was. It's totally me and makes total sense! I have had this for almost ten years. I hurt my thoracic part of my back which ended up going north to my neck causing cervical damage as well. I have asked a few doctors if my injury had anything to do with it and they all said no. It only started after my back injury. It was quite horrible at first where I couldn't sleep. I have a constant hum when it is quiet and would stop if there was sound like if someone was talking or a fan flowing. It's not as bad as before but does become more severe if I sleep wrong or from some upper body exercises.
@A S Just doing a basic lat pull down at the gym. It was quite violent. I bent over to get my towel and had immediate pain in my left arm. I was never the same afterwards.
Did not have tinnitus until I got chemotherapy >gallons and gallons of it. Got a lot of other problems from it too. Tinnitus= extremely high pitch screaming 24/7-365 days a year NON STOP. Chemo gave me severe hearing loss also and I've developed degenerative bone disease with a loss of 4" in height plus discs that are out in 6 places in my spine. I've also had 11 concussions throughout my life. What can you do for me?
I have almost constant high pitched buzzing sounds like millions of bugs buzzing. What causes that?
I listen to Drum and Bass music and it works perfectly!
What you mean with that lol
wow you just tied 2 of my problems together. now where do I go?
What about nonstop tinnitus with sharp physical pain of the outer ear curvature, and sometimes inner ear (no infection)?
Is the upper cervical instability affecting the trigeminal nerve in ways related to the dorsal horn and pain processing? I have noticed with my clients that those who are hypermobile have high levels of chronic pain. Also stomach problems, headaches, tinnitus and anxiety!
How can I get an appointment consultation with you?

I had spinal meningitis as a baby, spent a LONG time at Loma Linda Hospital. Almost didn't make I'm told, and for YEARS suffered from migraines. NOW, the ringing in my ears is HORRID. And it jacks to an even higher pitch at times muffling all other sounds coming in. Worse, I suffered a neck injury in '93 and now there is irriparable arthritis to 2 & 3 vertabrae. Would give my eyeteeth for solution!! Seems no answer, no specialist, esp. where I live!!
My mom is 85years old. since 2018 she has had a loud crackling (like someone stepping on glass)in her right ear that comes and goes in LOUD clusters and this has been very intense and overwhelming. She has to hold onto walks to walk in her house! Is this even consider tinnitus because it's not ringing or buzzing or whooshing etc?
2019 we found a surgeon that said middle ear resectioning of the tensor tympani and the stapedius and has helped with some patients so we went with that. IT WAS A MIRACLE!! It helped!! That was in August 2019..but it only lasted a few months and dealt with it on and off but it was "in a distance" sounding she said, And for the past 2 months its sooo loud it has incapacitated her, making her hv to use a walker in home . She lives alone and its breaking my heart that there seems to be no real answers . CT and MRI of brain and IACS are negative. Trying trileptal anti-seizure as dr said it may help. MY mom is normally constantly on the go and now she holds on to walls and gets dizzy with the crackling. She can't sleep or live like this..any thoughts? thank u-God Bless, Karen in New Jersey
Someome mentioned few castor oil drops in the ear helps... and of coirse specialized neck massages. Dont give up amd try the massaging..if u cant pay someone gently massage her neck consistantly and see if that provides relief...
EMF - WiFi and what about the off the wall amounts of aluminum we are bombarded with in more ways than I can list. How many deaths have there been since virus ? Loss of balance and dizziness. One of the more widely told stories is how a chiropractic adjustment cured deafness- this is completely plausible- however there are quite a number of reasons for hearing loss. Think it’s individual and varied causes- I’m retired therapist of 45 yrs so worked daily with chiropractors- what I can say about chiropractic adjustments is the soft tissue is always involved and needs to be treated as well,if this is the cause or contributing cause. The American lifestyle is very much designed to sicken us . There’s a reason why some European countries refuse to buy us meats and agriculture- look up some research.
Thank you very much.
Thank you…QUESTION>.What about for patulous eustacian tube which bring autophony
In all the years I've been dealing with ringing in the ears on and off, no doctor has ever Explained any of this to me🤦♀️ Dealing with it now and dealing with vestibular imbalance 😔
Salute to Your Knowledge
I get occasional ringing in the ears that comes on quickly, lasts only a few seconds, then goes away. It usually is accompanied by bloating and pressure in head. Does this sound like cervical instability?
Yes from what I understand because the blood flow is being restricted which causes the feeling of fullness in the head.
I have tinnitus and may dentist explained to me its because i have TMJ /TMD .My ENT doctor checked my ears and said it was normal.
Oh wow. I have pulsatile tinnitus in the right ear. I have Hyperacusis in both ears! I’m taking a medicine called betahistine to help with blood flow issues. And wearing sound devices to help with reprogramming my brain to tolerate sound, I seem to have decreased sound tolerance. My neck does seem to have a hump on the back where the spinal chords are. This information makes a lot of sense to me. Should I be asking my doctor for a neck Xray and artery scan?
Thank you Dr R. Hauser for your well thought out video. After watching your very informative video, I wonder if many people are using a pillow that is too high???
8 hours of sleep every night for many years must have an effect on the curvature of the spine???
Hi May, Good question and thank you for your very kind words. Yes, this is something that we look at in our patients to see what is happening to their neck in their sleep position, and/or checking what type of pillow they're using, etc. It is something that can aggravate symptoms since we spend so much time sleeping. Wish you all the best in health!
Please could you recommend a dr in London UK who can help my pulsatile tinnitus?
Thanks a lot !
Is it possible to have an ear Donor if some one dies and can hear again ?
Wow, good info. Been doing quite a bit of backpacking here lately and my tinnitus has emerged. Any correlation with backpacks,
Also use a foam roller once in a while to crack my back any correlation or info on these.
When I lost my high pitch hearing i lost the nerves in my ears! That's why my tinnitus is terminal and Chronic.
Oddly enough, i am hearing that a lot of people that have had the virus, are getting ringing in the ears!
One of them...... Never had it before that now its constant low "peeeeeeeee" sound!
Why fix it take two spoon put spoon side behind the back of your ear . Take other spoon tap the spoon backing ring will stop , keep doing till peace mind , don’t tap hard lightly.
I notice you don’t mention acoustic neuroma. I was diagnosed with that after sudden tinnitus. Funny I also have reoccurring neck pain . I had gamma knife surgery a year and a half ago and I’m doing well, slight balance issues and my hearing is getting a bit worse. I’m due for another MRI in January. Just wondering if you have any thoughts!?
I think most of EMTs suck on their diagnoses. This guy knows well
What kind of doctor should I visit for that ideally? I went to a few already but they seemed kind of lost and not really knowledgeable when it comes to Tinnitus.
Adjust the neck how? Chiropractic adjustment?
Thank you for the explanations! A few years ago I had pulsatile tinnitus and MRI was clear. After loosening the neck from doing pilates it disappeared. Unfortunately I'm getting tinnitus again (this time, the ringing type) and so far I haven't found a solution. I suspect it has something to do with my neck and thoracic spine because there's no ringing in the first 30 mins or so after I wake up. It seems to be the worst at night.
What kind of pilates did you do
Ok so what type of Dr would I look for to look into this?
Cervical instability can be treated with Prolotherapy - so a Doctor like Dr. Hauser! We would absolutely love to help you on your road to healing, you can contact us directly and someone from our clinical team can get to know more about your case!
My c6 c7 are pushing on my spinal cord causing my tinnitus, dizziness and a few other things

I have few symptoms on my right and few in my left so basically have issues both sides if my neck , jaw, ears, eyes, swallowing, fast heart rate, bowel issues , more issues on left side cheeks , down below lips , right side more dizziness etc
Hi Pachani where r u from....is it TN India. If yes we do have 2 prolo docs on india who lse competence is good to start with
Any thoughts on link between dmt and tinnitus
Had it since I was a kid, either a firecracker or someone smacked me in the ear or weak kidneys..dunno but constant
pink noise. the cure? turn the music up.
Hey there … lots of wishes from India.
3 years back I had a tumour removal surgery for my acoustic neuroma on one ear and that ear nerve had to be cut to remove entire tumour..
But I continue to have tinnitus which doctor said it will remain as it is since the nerve is not there now.
I had gone through physiotherapist for my face paralysis which is almost permanent on one side as an after effect of this surgery and got some releif for tinnitus by neck exercises but now since I don’t practice it ..the noise has increased again …
Can someone pls help me understand why this is happening and suggest some solution? It will really hp me
I pulled my neck and lower back and started a noise in my ear chiropractor said it was a nerve
Mine is very loud ringing sounds like bees, mosquitoes, phone ringing and like an alarm. I get different sound in each ear. Had thyroid surgery wonder if damaged nerves caused it.
Hello, do you have an online consultation or form that I can answer to see if I'm really a candidate for cervical instability treatment?
I really want to know the probability since I don't want to waste my resources and time to go there, just to find out that the cause of my problems is not neck-related. I'm from the Philippines.
Thank you so much.
Did you get a response or reach out to them?
I can confirm this.. I have pulsatile tinnitus on both ears for the past 2 month, I did all sorts of test like holter and bp 24h test at a cardiologist as I thought it was related to heart/bp, then I tried TCM doctor who told me it was circulatory and gave me some Chinese medicine, then I went to ENT who told that I should do a MRI and CT if it lasted more than 3 months ... as I was doing all these tests I decided to do a full body check and discovered I have cervicales C5/C6 spuring with calcification of the nuchae ligament, I went to a chiropractor who did more accurate X-Rays and did a correction (my head was forward 7cm), last night I could sleep on both side with 90% of the sound gone, I just hope it last but clearly this was the issue
Are you still having success with this?
@@robnw79 nope, it actually turned not to be tinnitus, it’s a bounding pulse, so the sound is actually there from my head moving on the pillow
@@AntoineEstEnChine I’m sure you’re relieved that it wasn’t tinnitus. I go for an MRI soon and I’m pretty sure mine is pulsatile tinnitus. I’ve been dealing with it in my right ear for over 10 years. Hoping the MRI will discover the cause 🤞🏾.
@@robnw79 but it still makes it hard to sleep.. hypnosis helped a lot and it’s the same for tinnitus, look for Michael Norman, he has helped many with tinnitus to go back to sleeping, basically the sound is still there but you won’t be focusing on it
@@AntoineEstEnChine thank you! I will check him out.
Dr Hauser. LOVE your videos ! I think I have the jugular vein compression.
My PT started a few months after I broke my left shoulder and it started after exposure to high salicylate cream.
Mine is highly variable
Do you think vitamin D deficiency can contribute ?
Calcium and or copper deficiency ?
And how about a pillow that is too soft ? Can you recommend a good pillow or pillows for side sleeper.
I always sleep on the right and it’s my left side that suffers from PT. I can see the wrong pillow could really mess you up.
THANK YOU !
Where i can find you?
i need a serious help .. i had tinnitus for six months my left side ear is continuously ringing and i don't know what can i do i went to doctors and they said its nothing much my little fingers of both hand are stuck in the morning too.
I have pulsatile tinnitus. I am able to affect the intensity by flexing my jaw. Jaw fully extended, more intense, jaw relaxed, less intense. Also if I turn my head to the side, less intense. I've had a full set of MRI's done to see if a stent would reduce the intensity but I was told that I'm not a candidate for this type of treatment. I'm wondering if orthodontic or other treatments typically used for TMJ would help to correct this condition.
what about color blindness. i can't see yellow.
A little ...tongue in cheek.. John ...the only thing missing here was hearing Donovan's "Mellow Yellow" playing in the background
Wouldn’t this be fixed by Ballon Sinuplasty?
I massaged my neck and I spontaneously developed restless arm syndrome and restless leg syndrome. Be careful guys.
I have a steady type tinnitus That varies with time of day and am on a wait list for MRI. I have high RF numbers but ENT MD says it's not AIED. But maybe that's because it was my idea. Does MRI make sense or should I be going for US?
I was wondering if my ear humming could be from brain stem? My brain stem is turned up and the tonsils at the stem is lower than normal. Thank you
So what's the cure???
If I come to USA just to go to your clinic, because I have all these symptoms, what can you do for me that is not invasive ?
Will there be a case specific set of reeducation exercises etc after a diagnostic or is it possible to do these without coming to USA ?
Ok so now what? Find a doc who deals with cervical instability? It's that easy?
Thank you, yellow man!! 😃😃😃👍👍👍🚴
