Hello newbies to tinnutus, it gets better, trust me. Your brain is an amazing organ that will learn to forget tinnutus. I thought i would never get better or sleep again, but i did and you will. REFUSE to allow this sound to control your life. I found that when i declared that to myself, it gradually got better. And now i barely notice it.
Thanks for sharing!
Hello, you texte help to think you can survive with tinnutus.I sart having tinitus after washing my ears two month ago and I found strange to having pain to the ears, the dr see nothing but here in quebec that take so long time if you want to see a orl dr. It can take a years...
How was you when you 1st got T?
Evelyn did you ever have hissing front your tinnitus in your left jaw when my left jaw moves tube hissing is super loud
@@cathy9814 Ask a physio about the TMJ Jaw joint . I’m going to see one seeing my Joint is giving me trouble and it’s possible it maybe the cause of it .
I gave up looking on forums due to negative ideas and hopelessness projected. That type of "support" can cause unwanted and increased anxiety.
Stay off of tinnitus message boards if you want to avoid catastrophizing. I learned that very early on.
Totally agree with you! Our minds are preprogrammed to remember bad stories as it's a form of self preservation. The mind, as Dr Ben, says is paramount in recovery and is very powerful.
Am geussing that's what happened to me:(. I stopped hearing it and me thinking a lot about maybe brought it back. Or the new years fire works
Love how they advocate non catastrophizing thoughts and then the comments section is full of catastrophy. DON'T READ THE COMMENTS SECTION, FOLKS
Hey Adam, thank you for the comment. We are glad to know that our videos have helped you. Enjoy exploring our other UA-cam videos, as well as blog articles on treblehealth.com
Not to mention all the fake gimmicks out there you have to be careful of! For over 7 years I controlled my tinnitus be using ear plugs at night while sleeping. My audiologist however, does not recommend that for training the brain, but for me it worked! Now that I'm older, I wear hearing aids with tinnitus masking capability (tuned to the frequency of my tinnitus). Thanks for all the help AND hope you provide!
I've had it for years. Sometimes it gets excruciatingly loud and sometimes it is livable. I've tried the sound therapy all the color noises, crickets, etc. which only seems to annoy my brain and the tinnitus sounds will increase. It's almost like my brain says, "oh, you wanna mock me, well here ya go." LOL
I have had ringing and sounds in my left ear for about 12 days now, non-stop! Sometimes it's loud and sometimes it's tolerable. My nights have been difficult since then. It has caused me to get more stress and anxiety. I talked to a Chiropractor who's a friend of ours. He said it could be a pinched nerve. I am going to see him for an eval and hope it helps.
Did you go whit the chiropractor already
And find solutions
?
Dr. Michelle is helping me a lot. At the beginning my tinnitus was so loud I thought I was doomed. However, I'm seeing my first good results after almost 4 months, but it requires a lot of discipline and hard work on your mind.
Are you able to access sound therapy? Being left to our own devices has made this so difficult
how? can you explain please
You have to have an integral approach. Besides being counseled by my audiologist here, I do CBT from an app called OTO, I am in therapy with a psychologist, I have my ENT checking on my left ear, and at the beginning also had psychiatrist. I went through a very hard time the first 3 months, strong anxiety, panic attacks, vertigo, hyperacusis, misophonia, the fireworks of New year made feel like a scared dog, it was just terrible. I'm still medicated for depression, but pills alone will never be the answer. You need to put yourselves into mental therapy, sound therapy, into relaxation techniques, meditation, CBT, good feedback on youtube like this channel and others, acquire reliable information from expert like Dr. Ben, keep watching good stuff about how to get better, use sound theraphy religiously, exercise, go for a walk often, try to do some household stuff, don't just lie in bed and cry (it's valid, but don't just do that), occupy your mind and body, watch movies, comedy mainly, avoid silence, stop watching horror or action movies, get a lot of hugs and kisses from your love ones, don't stay alone for long periods of time, have sex, eat healthily. I'm not saying it's easy, it's hard as hell, I'm still struggling but I see my improvements. Your brain is the one that is going to do the work of habituation, your job is you create the conditions for it to do it a bit faster. At the begging my tinnitus was a level 10, and it's reactive, had like 5 different sounds inside my head, the worst tinnitus possible, I could not go outside, even chewing or taking a shower were a nightmare because my tinnitus would spike hard, I was going crazy. After doing all these things daily, religiously even in my worst moments, I can say now after 4 months, I still hear my tinnitus but the volume is a bit softer and it's bothering me less, it's less reactive and I hear only 1 or 2 sounds in my head, I could say it's a level 7 or 6 and I go for more because I see it's possible to get better. I have been all my life very anxious and had catastrophic thoughts about everything, if I could put myself into a rigorous plan to heal in what I consider the hardest challenge in my life (my sudden hearing loss and tinnitus) surely any person with some determination, help and discipline can. I wish you the best.
@@yussellsolis3149 what your describing is my experience. What sound therapy has worked for you? I can’t find anything because my tinnitus is high frequency and severely reactive. If you could share it would be greatly appreciated. Having the ability to mask or have some sound therapy would be a complete game changer and lifeline for me.
@@ajpello2003 I use Widex Zen fractal tones. I didn't buy the Hearing aids. I just found some short samples on UA-cam, I downloaded them then on my editor I made a chunk 24 hour long. I wear my sleep band wherever I go, so I listen to it all the time. For bed time I don't use it, I put a fan with a strong sound next to my bed and it's been working as well. That's what I do. I don't try to mask my tinnitus, I just found after many tries and errors that these sounds help me relax and send the tinnitus to the background.
Thank you for your words, Dr. Michelle Neidleman Kennedy! It's good to hear that most people who suffer from tinnitus experience improvement.
Hi
I’m a newbie to tinnitus
This vedio is such a relief for my anxiety 😊
I agree, dont look and read at FACEBOOK too much. Love this canal, thanks you dr. Ben
If only there was sound therapy for high frequency reactive tinnitus. I would give absolutely anything to have this option. Not having sound therapy has completely destroyed my life. Yes I am subscribed to Treble Health for TRT.

@@treblehealth yes sir
I can tell you both of these two speak more the common sense truth than just about anything out there
Its so true.....its not either/or
You have to in a true way accept it, and live with it, and then your brain resorts as a minor prob and focuses less, and you literally dont hear it as loud
I notice often that when I am engaged with doing something I dont hear it because I am too busty to pay attention
Today I had my session 4-meditation and it was amazingly good. Also, I had my first craniosacral therapy and It was amazing. I reached a deep moment of peace and calm and surprisingly had 5-10 min without any sound in my right ear, after 3 months of buzzing. I feel really positive, optimistic and happy to continue with this transformational process. Thx for everything from México!!
Keep up with the cranial sacral massages!! They were a God send to me when I first experienced chronic tinnitus. I have had it for 14 months now and still have a monthly cranial sacral massage every month. Along with Dr. Ben and a CBT therapist I can't believe how much better my titinus has improved!! I still have work to do but I know I'm on the right path😊
Glad to hear that you are continuing the 7-day meditation, Edgar! Also, I'm happy that you've tried the craniosacral therapy. Good luck on your 5th day! :)
Thank you for this video. I have tinnitus for about 6 years. Living in Canada, every ENT doctor and family physician tells me they can't do anything except get me a hearing aid or suggesting listening to music at night when it is the loudest. I have been told it can't be treated because the hearing nerves are dying, or the inner ear hairs are not working properly etc. I constantly wake up because of the noise, now taking mild sleeping pills to at least sleep 5-6 hours. I also listened to you conversation in one of your video's with Dr. Michael Golenhofen when he talked about 3 main types of tinnitus. I wish I had an ENT doctor who would do this kind of study and really help me. Around the time it started I had a fall and broke my ankle, being close to 70, that was very dramatic for me. I developed high blood pressure plus started having tinnitus.
High blood pressure can cause tinnitus..
No ENT in USA could help me either, 14 years and changed my life totally, not for the good. Just letting you know it's no better in USA.
I’m new to the ‘T’ (3 months). These videos are so helpful 👍🏼 as I live in fear of hearing nothing but high pitch noises - but that hasn’t and isn’t going to happen. You are not your thoughts
Something I have found good for me is TMJ exercises. This has helped to relax my jaw and I have less sinus/temple pain which makes the T worse for some reason - Adam Field has some brilliant exercise videos (sorry, Ben) 😀
The title of this video makes little sense because the brain is the actual source of tinnitus. The brain literally creates the sounds you are hearing in your head. The only solution is to silence the brain, or cause it to stop making these unwanted sounds. The state of successful healing is to return the brain to silence, not mask the sounds, but completely eliminate them. You want to return to the same silence you experienced before you had tinnitus. I believe this can be achieved. I have experienced this exact state at times. My goal is to experience complete silence again without a single intrusion of any unwanted sounds.
i read about a study that was done indicating listening to unstructured white noise could actually contribute to further maladpative plastic changes
This came at a great time! i’m going through this now. It would be great to see a video with an example of sound therapy/masking from either be from an app or sound device with a daily routine example. How with volume and when people do it. showing examples more specific. Thank you for the great content.
Hey czorr1997, thank you for the comment. We are glad to know that our videos have helped you. Enjoy exploring our other UA-cam videos, as well as blog articles on treblehealth.com
@@treblehealthDo you have any videos with people with tinnitus from ear trauma/noise trauma?.
How about people with cochlear tinnitus with hearing loss. My hair cells are damaged so I hope mine gets better, but I read it wouldn’t, I have severe-profound high frequency tinnitus with hearing loss in right ear and mild in left ear. I went to tinnitus clinic and they tested up to 20,000. It’s in my ears and my head buzzes non stop 24/7. They say my hair cells can be misfiring and the brain is making noise trying to fill it in.
Some how i the beginning of the tinnitus a few months ago i knew to put back ground sound however i do not have maskers that would be very costly for me but i do have ear buds for when it get s bad i just do not like things in my ears so i never wear long and now i do have to overcome some fear from things i have heard glad that i hear it will get better thank God. Appreciate both of you and your information.Thanks again !
Punctuation would help people read what looks like a good, positive comment….run on sentences are VERY HARD TO READ. Please, don’t be so lazy!
The title of this made it sound like it was going to give some practical steps to retraining the brain, rather than platitudes such as "it will get better". I've been listening to a screeching siren in my left ear 24/7 and no, it is not getting better. I wish you'd create some practical content to go alongside the informational content.
I have noticed that eating chocolate seems to make my tinnitus worse. Maybe it’s the caffeine? I also notice that fasting causes it to be quieter. So there seems to be some food connection for me. Has anyone else noticed this?
Yeah, I think there is something in that as I notice that too. Maybe it’s sugar in general. I started taking Ginkgo tablets which has helped me personally
Yes! I found this to be true, at least so far. My triggers for spikes are salt, sugar and caffeine. So it's early in my trials, but I'm avoiding those. Some days are still better than others and it hasn't gone away, but I won't stop trying and I won't stop learning 👍🤞
We have to detect which foods are affecting tinittus ! Also try to relax ! Music tinittus therapy is good ! I’m going to try Acupunture !
Thank you mine is temperory because of an infection but I’ve been going nuts. Trying to train my Brian to not even hear it. I’m a saxophone player and I wanna play again and sounds like it’s okay to do so
I have dizziness very very bad along with tinnitus and anxiety honestly seems nothing was working
Good words...nice ideas
Hey Edgar, thank you for the comment. We are glad to know that our videos have helped you. Enjoy exploring our other UA-cam videos, as well as blog articles on treblehealth.com
One and half years back i was subject to terrible ear infection. Within 2 days tinnitus with high frequency started. Ent Specialist cleared the infection but still i am experiencing the tinnitus. For tinnitus they handsup. Right now I using homeopathy medicines... found some improvement ...
which homeopathy medicine are you using?
Yes have started too from 1 week since and sure it will get cure have faith but my doc is giving me pills
How you r feeling now
I am really disappointed at how little pulsating tinnitus is talked about. It's very hard to find videos on that.
Thanks a lot of discipline
Always welcome!
I wish there was more research into tinnitus , all the top neurological doctors should get
Together ,with the backing of
The big drug companies and do
It ,
Been struggling for 4 years. It won’t go away
I have high pitched tinnitus to which I've habituated...it's not a problem at all. The problem is the low pitched tinnitus and the vibrations I feel and the balance issues I experience along with it (it correlates in intensity). I did nothing proactively to habituate to my high pitched tinnitus..I don't remember when it started even. I can't understand why I am unable to habituate to the low pitch..it's two years this month. I have 2 days of silence most weeks...a rare week might have 3 or 1. On the days I have it, it is constant..all my waking hours and sleeping hours..thankfully it does not interfere with my sleep. I am able to fall asleep easiey. But when I am a awake it's very hard...normal sounds like the fridge and furnace are extremely loud on the days when the low pitch tinnitus is loud...it correlates...once in awhile a low pitch tinnitus day will be mild, with only rocking sensations, no vibrations, no balance issue. Any insight would be appreciated. I am trying CBT but it is difficult b/c I'm not really seeing any progress.
I’ve had tinnitus for over 30 yrs, I’m 74. It’s in both ears but feels like it emanates from inside the back of my head. When it first began I was banging my head off walls hoping that would stop the bees buzzing inside. My GP was useless, no help at all. My hearing has remained unaffected though, no need for aids of any kind. Any hope of a cure disappeared around 20yrs ago when Captain Kirk - William Shatner said he had contemplated suicided over it because he couldn’t find a cure. Over time I’ve grown used to it, only notice it really when I’m on my own at night (I’m now single) It’s 01:50 just now and I’m on UA-cam, as usual at this time every night. The bees are still buzzing away but have become more of just an annoyance than anything else. It doesn’t affect my day to day life in the slightest, in fact I think I’d miss it if I woke one morning and it was gone 🤷♀️ Hmmm 🤔
@@Lgtg1947 Thank you for sharing your story...I'm 71 and have only endured the low pitch maddening tinnitus for 2 years this month..like you the docs I've seen have been no help at all...they tell me I have tinnitus...which is a symptom, not a diagnosis..plus I told them I had it when I saw them......maybe in time I'll habituate to it like you have ..I'm finding the low pitched version more difficult and others have said the same....Your story gives me hope and that is what keeps me going..again thank you for taking the time to share your story.
@Dinahsoar I’m glad I’ve been of some comfort to you. For the first couple of yrs you’ll feel demented by it, become depressed, even suicidal like myself and W. Shatner, among countless others. My tinnitus is 24/7, I have no “free” days which is prob why I’ve grown accustomed to it. . You also will become accustomed to it over time, believe me 💁♀️ As for treatment, the only hope I received from medics, at the beginning was, wear headphones with music playing loud to drown out the buzzing. Do not go down that path, it make the buzzing even louder!! Do not waste money on “magical” cures either, a multi millionaire like W. Shatner couldn’t find one. Being divorced, living on my own, Im able to lay in bed at night with my iPad watching vids till around 02:00. I then put on a TEDx Talk to listen to as I fall asleep. All this mostly blanks out the buzzing. I wake around 08:30 ish each morning, the buzzing still there, doesn’t bother me much, it’s just a part of my life like everything else is. Don’t despair over it, hunni, please 🙏 You will get used to it like I and millions of others have done. It eventually becomes just another niggling annoyance in our lives like all the others. Best wishes, hunni, hope I’ve helped you in my own small way 💁♀️
That is the type of tinnitus i have. I stopped trying to figure it out. When there's a noise the spikes it like you, i use ear plugs or do something else to ignore it.
@@evelyneeliana8254 I have TWO types. You didn't indicate which of the two you have.
I trained my brain for 4 years now it spiked and can do nothing wish is too much high
How are you now did it go
Is it possible to habituate to tinnitus that appears every 2 to 10 minutes and is impossible to mask. As it is not a continuous tone, I'm afraid it is impossible to habituate.
Why does my tinnitus increase when I'm sitting or laying down compared to walking around? Background noise stays the same. Are spikes related to heart rate? What type of Dr can answer this?
Chris, you asked some good personalized questions here. My answer depends on more information that I do not yet know about your history. Feel free to contact our team via email and we can do our best to help you. Our email is contact@treblehealth.com
I had bad tinnitus back in my 20s after a bad sinus infection ( no hearing loss thankfully) and I thought it would ruin my life mostly. over many months and years I just learned to tune it out and i never thought about it much. it just works for some reason I cant explain it. I have anxiety so If I think about the ringing it will just get worse witch can happen some times.
After 20 yrs of Soldiering, nup it aint gonna stop the Ringing, blast and Wpns ,head blows etc damage isnt fixable.
I gkt dehiscenct jugular bulb and due to which i got pulsatile tinnitus ,its been a year now its bad and i dont kno what to do .

Hi I have a question in regards of going to the dentist with the drilling sound to the inner ear would it make the tinnitus worse? Thanks!
Depends on your history. There are numerous potential causes or triggers for tinnitus. Feel free to contact our team at Treble Health and we can do our best to help you.
But what about the 3 percent who literally cannot function in day to day life ? What should they do ? Pay money to Ents and audiologists and go bankrupt ? Fight with their loved ones because nobody understands them ? Or kill themselves in countries where Euthanasia is not allowed ?

I’m 3 months in with tinnitus and are trying to manage ‘out’ the hissing and high frequencies. I bought a sleep machine which plays certain noises for 90mins. Its helped my sleep, even though I can still hear the hissing, it somehow relaxes you. There are loads of sound videos on UA-cam - try them out and see what works. I can recommend one.
@@treblehealth ok I will do that.
@@thoughtfuldog5424 Thank you,any advice appreciated
Dr. Michelle and Dr. Ben, it's really hard to trick your subconscious and not take your tinnitus so seriously. As you say, it's not that easy and directly possible, but rather indirectly through sound therapy and relaxation and CBT. But does it often help to simply have the time to go through the habituation process and to be able to further block out the tinnitus?
Hi! Thank you for reaching out. Many people with tinnitus do habituate on their own without the use of sound therapy or CBT. It typically does take longer, though it is possible.

I wldnt give the 3 percent info.... because most with tinnitus r in fight or flight worse case sensrio thinking and will always assume they are the 3 percent.
horrible condition. Have tinnitus almost a year now both ears and hear it right through the center of my brain. I tried sound therapy but didn't do anything. I have accepted the ringing but it doesn't make a difference. No loss of hearing detected. No loud noises. Just woke up one day with it - likely from pills. Good luck if you get this wretched condition. its not fun.
I just want to sleep bro
Their is no cure for tinnitus, I have it 3 years 6 months,,you only learn to live with it,,the nite time is the hardest, peace to you all.
I have low pitched tinnitus and high pitched...I've habituated to the high pitched w/o even trying. Have no idea when it started either. But the low pitched: it's a night mare b/c I also feel vibrations and have balance issues on bad days..mild days it's rocking boat and no vibrations. Night time is my easiest time...maybe sleep is my only sure escape from it.
