I can attest that stress really triggers tinnitus. I have high-pitch tinnitus (12000hz) for the past 1 and a half year now, did all the tests, no hearing loss. My tinnitus started exactly the day after I had a very stressful day, I got very angry, anxiety with financial matters, fear, and family arguing, it was a very intense and traumatic day. Also, when I took a medication called clonazepam, prescribed by my ENT doctor to help me sleep, it made my tinnitus go away (proving that if you could completely relax, stress induced tinnitus really might go away), but as soon as I stopped taking it, it came back and it's still here to this day. It dropped from 100 to something like 20-30% over the past 1 year, and things continue to be tense and difficult in my life, but it's very clear that it's connected to my anxiety and stress, I'm pretty sure when my life settles a bit, it will mostly go away or get very faint. I also started going to therapy to see if it helps, and physiotherapy for my neck and jaw.
I have basically the same story. My tinnitus started one day when I was having a lot of stress. It got better when the stress went down but now it's getting worse again now that I'm getting stressed. Interestingly, I also did hearing tests at a doctor's office when it started and they stated that I had no hearing loss (the test was only up to 8k Hz). But when I did a test on my own, I discovered that I hear nothing above 12,5k Hz with my left ear even though I hear fine up to 14k Hz with my right one. Also the tinnitus frequency seems to match somewhere around 13-14k Hz so there is definitely something going on there 🤔 But the stress connection sucks because I have very low tolerance to stress and I also don't have any effective ways to manage or reduce it 😞
@@lumiko5183 We are on the same boat, but even my doctor said that, if you don't have a hearing loss problem, tinnitus should go away with time, he said he has many patients that after years returned to him and said it was gone. My theory for why some people have tinnitus for such a long time like 10+ years, is that, the person still live in a stressful or anxiety inducing situation like marriage or a job they can't leave. If one day your tinnitus gets really bad and loud, try asking your doctor for some Rivotril/Clonazepam medication to help you sleep, you will probably notice that your tinnitus will go away after 2 or 3 days of taking it, but it will come back after you stop taking, the sad part is that you can't take this kind of medication on a long-term, it's just for really bad days. The best we can do is reflect what is causing stress in our lives at the moment and try to solve that to go back to a moment we don't have that stress to worry about, tinnitus is like a fire alarm, your brain is in survival mode, so therapy can help because you can talk about your problems and maybe that can calm you down, also massage and some form of chiropractic adjustments can help too, because stress usually makes us contract the muscles in our neck, back and jaw, which can contribute to the sound of tinnitus, and also, some form of physical activity helps to manage your stress, and it will make your tinnitus get softer.
@@lumiko5183 same story here and believe from stress or chiropractor adjustments from a month before it started. No hearing loss from doctor up to 8kHz. My tinnitus freq 13.4kHz and seems I cant hear past that that when I do my own tests. Is your t constant? Mine is on a cycle bad, mild, good days. Good day is when there is no ringing. So weird.
@@rusky325i For me it does change a bit over time. On very stressful/anxiety filled days it gets a lot worse but it usually takes at least a month for it to get better again. I think the sound is always there but on the good days it's silent enough that it doesn't take my focus and I forget about it. But on the bad days it gets really loud and I can't focus properly on anything because the sound distracts me. And then I get fixated on the sound and the more I think about it, the worse it feels, so it's like a vicious circle.
For me, the only things that I follow to cure my tinnitus episodes are: 1. Reduce refined carbs, caffeine, alcohol, and high-sodium foods. 2. Moderate Exercise (Cardio, Weight Training, light HIIT) 3. Focus on sleep - Get at least 7 hours. (Steps 1 and 2 will help you achieve this) - This, in turn, will help you manage your stress/anxiety. 4. Meditate (Optional but highly recommended) Edit 1/15/24: 5. It has some connection with vitamin D, sun exposure, and Circadian rhythm. Whenever I get sun exposure, the tinnitus subsides. Tinnitus is not an ear/auditory issue but a brain issue.
Step 4 didn’t work for me, but 1 -3 nail in the coffin. I also didn’t have major hearing loss, I tiny little bit in the higher frequenties. It’s defitinitley a brain issue. 1 addition: work on your thoughts, try to get rid of the negative thoughts on tinnitus. This took me several months, but now I’m not bothered by it anymore. It’s still there, but I’m doing great.
Having dealt with this pretty much my whole life and still do I will give you an analogy it's like when you hear the noise irritating in your car Turn up the radio LOL. Don't lose your sense of humor
I have had tinnitus since 1982 and it happened the day after a rock concert but some of the symptoms that were mentioned in this video I can see from my past is some of the things that I have gone through periodically ever since I was a kid.
Thanks God ! …… there is people like you to provide serious scientific based information ……. That help us(pat’s of TN) to gain confidence and hope to keep faith on the possibilities to manage this condition!
I'm grateful to be able to offer information that brings confidence and hope in managing tinnitus. Your faith in the possibilities for managing this condition means a lot, and I'm here to support you on this journey. 💜
Great video! As a neuroplasticity coach I have hypothesized that tinnitus is caused by nervous system dysfunction and limbic system dysfunction. This causes the fight - flight - fright - freeze stress response to work incorrectly and may also turn on the cell danger response. While not scientific (yet), if you look at brain retraining programs like DNRS, Gupta, Vital Side and more comprehensive programs like Primal Trust or CFS School, you will find many people heal and recover from tinnitus. I am happy to see this being discovered in newer studies as I believe a main factor root causes of tinnitus to be trauma and nervous system dysfunction often referred by other names such as nervous system dysregulation. So how does one heal tinnitus? Calm down the limbic system of the brain and regulate the nervous system using a top-down approach as well as a bottom-up approach such as Somatic Experiencing and/or Feldenkrais.
Great interview and information. I’ve had a high pitched tinnitus for a month, seemingly out of nowhere. I’m going to explore tmj/neck health, gut health, and qi gong. Thank you both.
I'm glad you found the interview helpful! Exploring various avenues can offer valuable insights into managing your sudden tinnitus. Wishing you the best in uncovering potential solutions on your journey towards relief.
I was told by a 3rd ENT that I did loss in high frequency hearing loss, and there is no help for my tinnitus. She also told me I could not prevent more hearing loss. I was told my anxiety could make my tinnitus worse, but when I started anti anxiety medication, it seems to have gotten better.
In 1965 i took a large bottle of aspirin thinking it would kill me. I was suicidal. The result was like a freight train in my brain. It was extremely loud, ive had tinnitus ever since. 10 years later i took a whole bottle of sleeping pills after that i tried to get help. Ive been on quite a bit of medications for bipolar illness and arthritis. Im 74 now snd the tinnitus has gotten much worse. I believe medications caused my tinnitus.
The constant 'torment 24/7' hurts my feelings and last few months bcz these feelings am feelinf scared way too much. I like to isolate from the outside world. Yes, do need to do things I enjoy
I have tinnitus-and I believe that pulsatile bot injectables should be explored as an avenue to at the very least, neutralize the effects. I say that because the problem is coming from within. As such, no external noise reduction device can provide optimal effectiveness
Anyone else tired of this exchange with tinnitus "specialists"? "I can barely sleep because there's been a constant loud shrieking in my head for the past 30 years". "Hmm, your tinnitus will improve if you get more sleep." "Ok, well how can I sleep well with this sound in my head?" "You should try relaxing" "How can I relax with a constant hissing and shrieking in my head?" "Well, lack of sleep can lead to stress and anxiety. So you should start with getting more sleep." ♾
Yes, I've worked construction most of my like and always had noise in my ears but was a very low hiss, like static. Just this year about 6-8 months ago it's been all over the place. I listen to 10hr tinnitus releaf videos at night now with different results. It sucks because it seemed to come from nowhere and can get really load. But i do believe i didn't recognize it because you always hear to term "ringing" and i wouldn't have called it ringing more a hum now ringing fits more often now.
@@nuke97 not sure what you mean, I've had the hiss, or humming sound for years and it been this last year that I've really having a very high pitch. It seems like I can get higher than 18k or higher, use videos with crickets that help sleeping. The 1 hang up was the word "ringing" I wouldn't call it that so I didn't think I was effected but after the highs I'm having, I realized there's a large range that people hear. Hope that helps? If not ask away I'll do my best but just understanding it myself. Happy New Year
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have tinnitus almost ten years now. What i can say sleeping is very important, at the moment im taking L Theanine for relaxation at the evening. Last video with German doctor is very interesting, i recommend others to check that. He has very good diagnosing technic and for the first time i think that i see someone who is on the good way to find the cure and causes for this problem.
Also wanted to add,I have tremors through my body that I developed at the hands of a medical procedure.It definitely flaire when I am under pressure.My stress is off the radar now.But am hoping I get the tremors to go away after I see my neurological team,then maybe the tinnitus will go away in my left ear.And Dr.Ben your hair looks cute with the new style.No am not trying to be flirtatious, just letting you know.
The VA gave me a sound machine a little portable machine you plug it in you can hear waves. You can adjust it to the noise in your head and it mask it and I do get sleep
So does everybody with mild hearing loss have tinnitus and I know people with more hearing loss than me and no tinnitus for them any explanation for that? hope i get an answer
My tinnitus is high-pitched whistle. I tried "Cortexi" drops allegedly claiming to regenerate brain cells -- no effect. Interestingly that I checked these Cortexi drops by a kinesiologist who determined that these will not do anything, nether good not bad. It was exactly the case. My tinnitus noise increases when I clench teeth (jaws), chewing or (blocking my nose) either puff or suck air by my lungs. It is therefore minimum when there is no differential pressure on the ear drums. It slightly reduces when I forcefully open my mouth (jaws). All the above suggests that something "mechanical" affects it. I would like to get more understanding from an expert (in Sydney, Australia)
Your symptoms do sound like they could be influenced by mechanical factors, such as jaw clenching or pressure changes. It would be beneficial to consult with an ENT specialist or an audiologist in Sydney who can offer a comprehensive evaluation.
I’m able to change the tone and intensity of my left ear’s note by jutting out my jaw. I’m wondering if there could be some sort of physical pressure on the nerve that is causing the sensation. Something like a tense muscle or physical defect. Perhaps it’s similar to when you rub your eyes hard there’s an illusion of stars or patterns. It does seem to get more prominent when I feel stress.
Mine started when my son was arrested due to drug addiction and where it led him. I had to watch him be handcuffed and all. Shortly after dealing with this and several years of his addiction mine started to ring. Some days its gone and comes back. I had a hearing test and my ears where not that bad for a 57 year old. I sure mine was from stress. I have woke up at 3AM and no ringing then go back to sleep and wake up at 7am and its back.
Doctor, mientras sigamos hablando de problemas de salud mental o Salud cerebral u otro tipo de patología, para intentar explicar el tinnitus crónico, lo único q haremos será empeorar el problema. El cerebro nunca filtrará o dejará q dejemos de percibir ese sonido, mientras sigamos categorizándolo como peligroso, amenazante etc relacionándolo con patología cerebral u otras. Lo único q haremos es reforzar el tinnitus ya q el cerebro lo categorizará cada vez como más peligroso y el cerebro no filtra lo q interpreta q es peligroso para nosotros, todo lo contrario lo amplificará. Y esto es lo q explica el tinnitus crónico, es un aprendizaje q ha hecho nuestro cerebro ante la propia actividad del sistema nervioso auditivo, que de normal es filtrado por este, pero bajo condiciones emocionales alteradas, estrés, ansiedad, depresión… puede hacer q nuestro cerebro realice un aprendizaje desadaptativo ante esta propia actividad neuronal del SNC, apareciendo la percepción de tinnitus. La solución va en la dirección de quitarle relevancia, importancia, peligrosidad e interpretarlo como lo q es, una respuesta fisiológica natural ante unas determinadas condiciones de desequilibrio o alteración de SNC q origina ese aprendizaje desadaptativo, q luego provoca nuestra preocupación, miedo, ansiedad, q lo único q hace es reforzar las redes neuronales del tinnitus. Dejemos de hablar de problema, patología, y hablemos de proceso neurofisiológico natural q no daña ni tu oído ni tu cerebro. Perderle el miedo es el camino a la solución. Creamos lo q creemos, es el poder brutal de nuestra mente. Más importante q lo q estamos percibiendo es lo q pensamos sobre el ruido q estamos escuchando. En definitiva el cerebro se asusta de su propia actividad neuronal por las condiciones antes descritas, hace que esa actividad sea consciente para el individuo ( tinnitus) y se produce un aprendizaje en este caso desadaptativo. Aquí os dejo un ejemplo q puede ser muy gráfico: ua-cam.com/video/1lSlAspWUAc/v-deo.htmlsi=r3gaSP3m_IwwNsx9 Se podría decir que la niña es nuestro cerebro, la sombra la actividad nerviosa del sistema nervioso auditivo y los gritos y lloros el tinnitus. La solución parte de explicarle a la niña lo q es la sombra, q es natural y que así se le pierde el miedo y dejamos de fijarnos en ellas e incluso percibirla sino la buscamos. Y no decirle q es un problema una patología u otra cosa q pueda interpretar como peligrosa. Cuanto más queramos q desaparezca, porque nos molesta, nos sentimos amenazados, nos parece peligroso, lo que hacemos es decirle a nuestro cerebro q es algo muy importante para nosotros, y lejos de filtrarlo y hacer q dejes de percibirlo, lo amplificará reforzando las redes neuronales del tinnitus. Y esto no es porque el cerebro funcione mal, todo lo contrario, hace lo correcto y para lo que evolucionó q es avisar al individuo de cualquier cosa que pueda ser peligroso para su supervivencia y lo amplifica. Pero lo hace por que se está equivocando por que lo categorizo en su día y por las circunstancias emocionales y ambientales del momento como negativo, peligroso, amenazante. Saquémosle de su equivocación, y no reafirmándola hablando de patología, enfermedad, problema, amenaza etc, etc. El tinnitus aparece por un aprendizaje desadaptativo y lo solucionaremos con un aprendizaje adaptativo, trabajando lo q pensamos, lo q creemos y las conductas q tenemos respecto a esta percepción. Aprendizaje = NEUROPLASTICIDAD Un saludo, y ánimo a todos. PD: Os recomiendo leer a Howard Schubiner, y los mindbody sintoms Siento no haber podido escribirlo in English, seguro podrán traducirlo del Español.
Thank you for your explanation very interesting...I would say the best theory nevers read.Como trabajar la plasticidad por favor. Muchas gracias.Tengo tinnitus des de 1987.
@@zerho-y4oTrabajando los pensamientos, las creencias y las conductas sobre el tinnitus. No dejar q el tinnitus secuestre tu vida. El tinnitus es un ruido neutro e inocuo. Es nuestra respuesta emocional ( al desconocer, verlo como amenazante, peligroso, fuera de nuestro control) lo q hace q moleste. Hay q trabajar el cambio de significado q nuestro cerebro a establecido.. Mientras lo veamos como algo amenazante, nuestro cerebro no lo va a filtrar. Nuestro cerebro tiene un poder brutal, de filtrar lo q es irrelevante, pero sensibilizarse y amplificar ante aquello q evalúa como importante y peligroso para nuestra supervivencia. La indiferencia marca la diferencia. La explicación es simple, lo q no quiere decir q sea sencillo hacerlo, requiere trabajo, ya q nuestro cerebro evolucionó bajo el principio de precaución y peligro, ya q era más eficiente para sobrevivir.
I got tinnitus after a second brain surgery and the placement of a shunt. My surgeon sent me to an ENT, but my PCP, just told me to get used to it because there's nothing anyone can do. It's really confusing as bothersome as all of you know.
@@bryanreidsands6854 it's a valve the regulates the amount of brain fluid in the brain, it consist of a catheter in the brain, the valve in the skull and a long catheter that drains the fluid all the way down to the belly.
@@bryanreidsands6854 I also have this pain in my neck and shoulder, and I thought the same as you do. Maybe the catheter is pressing something. But the doctors say, that's not it. It takes up to 3 years to heal. I'm in my first...
I got it since I was 7 for no apparent reason and even docs had no clue why I got it and how to get rid of it. Recently it got way worse and much louder after I’ve been diagnosed with Migraine and Anxiety Disorder.
I have a very early memory (I’m now 51) of asking my dad about the noise in my ears. (It’s like a high-pitched whistle) He suggested it was the blood flowing past my ears. Since then, I’ve heard the sound of blood pumping in my ears when my heart rate is high. To me the blood sounds similar to a rushing fluid pulsing with my heartbeat. It’s a soft sound that goes away when my heart rate returns to normal.
@@bryanreidsands6854 Thanks for sharing. Tinnitus has been with me for over 30 years and I accepted it as part of my body long time ago and there’s nothing I can do to get rid of it. Knowing it’s just the sound of blood flowing inside the brain makes me feel even better because if you focus on Tinnitus too much thinking it as a bad thing it will only get worse.
@@bryanreidsands6854I believe what you have is called pulsatile tinnitus. Unlike regular tinnitus, the cause tends to be identifiable and treatable in most cases
If you're experiencing hearing loss, it's possible that your brain is compensating by processing input from the beard trimmer that it typically misses. Tinnitus often stems from the brain's efforts to overcompensate for a lack of ear input. To learn more, Take the Tinnitus Quiz: tinnitusquiz.com/
Can TMJ and neck/shoulder problems cause Tinnitus and the feeling of muffled hearing? I had a hearing test and it was good. They think it's a lot of stress because before my Tinnitus got so worse I went through a lot of stressful events

My tinnitus is somewhere around 12-14khz. My hearing test from my ENT said all normal no hearing loss but if they’d have tested higher they’d have found my hearing loss.
I have had tinnitus for about 20 years. It's 24/7 in both ears. High pitched. Had hearing test done and Dr says high fregrency hearing loss. I was told also that there was nothing that could be done and no cure. I listen to music or soothing zen music and tinnitus masking videos on you tube. It does help me alot. Mine has gotten worse recently. I do have a bad neck. 3 herniated disks and have seen a neuro surgeon that says i need a neck fusion. I dont want neck surgery. I have heard alot of bad things regarding this surgery. I get headaches too from my neck issue. I had tinnitus before i found out about my neck issues. My question is if i decide to have this surgery do you think my tinnitus will go away? Or could it get worse, too, if i have the surgery? I think if i knew for sure or my chances were really good for my tinnitus to go away, I think i may change my mind and have the surgery. Thank you, and any help is appreciated.
I didn't know I had moderate hearing lost since April of this year. My hearing aids I wear is Phonak Lumity with bluetooth function. I definitely can hear the higher frequencies. However, when I take them out before bed. My tinnitus starts up. I have no clue why
As Audiologists, we cannot provide insight on which medication would be best for you. We recommend discussing this with you primary care physician. If you have questions about a specific medication, it would be best to ask your local pharmacist.
I have had Pulsatile tinnitus for about 3years, recommended hearing aid only amplified the noise, it is a constant irritation and it even wakes me up from sleep, only notice hearing loss in crowded places or if background noise in the room, no idea how to make this stop

Wouldn’t you think by now after all these years of treating tinnitus by now somebody wouldn’t have delved into the whole brain aspect Unbelievable!!!!!!!
I am, convinced that the screaming high pitched whine in my head is NOT from my ears. I wish I could figure out the reason for the variability. Chemical? Electromagnetic? Mechanical damage?
Also if you feel tired that can bring on roomy doctor told me it's an ear and brain problem but mine is different there is no ringing just a loud hissing sound which does go down

Hi DR Ben I got questions , I got high frequency mix hearing loss and bilateral Tinnitus, doctors prescribed me Starkey hearing aids , can I wear them amplified when am working in city?
If you are in a noisy environment all day, we recommend using hearing protection instead of wearing your hearing aids. Protecting our ears is always the number 1 priority. Consider consulting with your local audiologist to explore custom-fit hearing protection tailored to suit your work environment effectively.
Yeah it's hard to concentrate wen it kicks in. Absolutely. Makes it very difficult to think about anything else apart from the noise in your head. I've found car exhausts are a bad trigger. Shit cars drive past with tractor exhaust & my ears starts humming real bad. Then I get muscle stiffness from cars constantly driving past. It's horrible. I swear my neighbours put shit exhausts on there cars on purpose. Have had CHRONIC PAIN last 20yrs. Since realising had tinnitus have been able to try & calm down a bit. Pain has abated when I can control anxiety & stress levels. Sensitive hearing causes lots of side effects wen 1 doesn't know wat is going on. Causes bad smoking habit from compound stress. Higher rate of fight or flight syndrome I found. Society is so noisy, NOT MUSICAL. NOISY. Poor quality machines substandard governing on public health & stress factors. This will get worse & worse I feel as society gets more frequencies distorting sounds around the world. I'm curious wat the tinnitus rating is as man hey more & more UNCIVILIZED & turned into a noisy garbage producing pollutant in every way. Thanks for your info it's helped me understand why I am like I am. Hearing at & seeing at different frequencies that others can't then drs saying it's not real. Is that wat you tell blind ppl? Deaf ppl? Tinnitus absolutely destroyed my sleep. We don't know much about ourselves & there is the UNSEEN WORLD that has been spoken of/discussed for THOUSANDS OF YEARS not just on weekends for party tricks. PERPETUAL ENERGY IS NATURAL LAW. PERPETUAL ENERGY IS GODS LAW! Man calls themselves advanced & civilised.. Since led lights were installed globally my tinnitus went off the charts. Like flouro globes with epilepsy maybe? Dunno it's really weird, but it should be considered as light frequency is a sound. I personally got migraines under led lights unless it was the ppl I was around feeling there negative energies? Spiritual attacks? The world is not as simple as man has been educated to believe. Bald retarded garbage producing trinket GATHERERS trying to program ppl wat to believe now they want to tell us it's o.k to be possessed by demons & get a sex change. Call it FREEDOM! Every bit of stress added to the world adds to the tinnitus amplification amongst the masses. It can be life DESTROYING very negative impacts amplifying each other slowly. I'm in AUSTRALIA do you have a place to call in this country?
@@BlackStarSymphony thanks a lot. I will see an ENT in the next few months. They are not really concerned. Neurologists discarded the possibility of a tumor or an aneurysm, so they are not in a rush... I am, they don't seem to care.

There is some research suggesting a potential association between tinnitus and Parkinson's disease, but the relationship is not fully understood, and tinnitus alone is not considered a reliable early warning sign for Parkinson's disease. Some studies have reported a higher prevalence of tinnitus in individuals with Parkinson's disease compared to the general population. However, tinnitus is a common condition with various causes, and it can occur independently of neurodegenerative disorders. If you have concerns about tinnitus or potential links to Parkinson's disease, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional, preferably a neurologist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. They can provide a thorough evaluation, consider your medical history, and conduct any necessary tests to better understand your specific situation.

Vagus nerve drugs like carbamazepine are marginally effective. some foods and drugs can be triggers. if it stays low to medium and stays primarily on the left side if's good enough. one can't stay on anti-depressants forever. i was sold 5000 worth of hearing aids from U of miami. they are useless

For me, the only things that I follow to cure my tinnitus episodes are:

2. Moderate Exercise (Cardio, Weight Training, light HIIT)
3. Focus on sleep - Get at least 7 hours. (Steps 1 and 2 will help you achieve this) - This, in turn, will help you manage your stress/anxiety.

Step 4 didn’t work for me, but 1 -3 nail in the coffin. I also didn’t have major hearing loss, I tiny little bit in the higher frequenties. It’s defitinitley a brain issue. 1 addition: work on your thoughts, try to get rid of the negative thoughts on tinnitus. This took me several months, but now I’m not bothered by it anymore. It’s still there, but I’m doing great.
How did you get it ? Do you have Hearing Loss?
@@malcolmc7072 I experimented with all. ENT told me I needed a hearing test, and everything came out perfect.
Having dealt with this pretty much my whole life and still do I will give you an analogy it's like when you hear the noise irritating in your car Turn up the radio LOL. Don't lose your sense of humor
20 years 24/7 and have never had or heard improvement. Continue to watch your videos.
Thank you, I had been stressed out about the connection between dementia and tinnitus. Now I can not worry about that.
I have had tinnitus since 1982 and it happened the day after a rock concert but some of the symptoms that were mentioned in this video I can see from my past is some of the things that I have gone through periodically ever since I was a kid.
Thanks God ! …… there is people like you to provide serious scientific based information ……. That help us(pat’s of TN) to gain confidence and hope to keep faith on the possibilities to manage this condition!
I'm grateful to be able to offer information that brings confidence and hope in managing tinnitus. Your faith in the possibilities for managing this condition means a lot, and I'm here to support you on this journey. 💜
Thank you very much Madam for working on tinnitus research! You are a true hero!
Why can no one fix tinnitus? We put a man on the moon!
I dont believe man on the moon
I know right! 😢😢
We can cure Tinnitus
@@timclark2305 How?
Agree, everyone speaks of were it comes from, but no solution, it’s sad for all of us who suffer
Great video! As a neuroplasticity coach I have hypothesized that tinnitus is caused by nervous system dysfunction and limbic system dysfunction. This causes the fight - flight - fright - freeze stress response to work incorrectly and may also turn on the cell danger response.
While not scientific (yet), if you look at brain retraining programs like DNRS, Gupta, Vital Side and more comprehensive programs like Primal Trust or CFS School, you will find many people heal and recover from tinnitus.
I am happy to see this being discovered in newer studies as I believe a main factor root causes of tinnitus to be trauma and nervous system dysfunction often referred by other names such as nervous system dysregulation.
So how does one heal tinnitus? Calm down the limbic system of the brain and regulate the nervous system using a top-down approach as well as a bottom-up approach such as Somatic Experiencing and/or Feldenkrais.
This makes sense
So nice she can just take a nap to calm her stress related tinnitus! But please keep up with the research, so many too many suffering with tinnitus.
Great interview and information. I’ve had a high pitched tinnitus for a month, seemingly out of nowhere. I’m going to explore tmj/neck health, gut health, and qi gong. Thank you both.
I'm glad you found the interview helpful! Exploring various avenues can offer valuable insights into managing your sudden tinnitus. Wishing you the best in uncovering potential solutions on your journey towards relief.
I was told by a 3rd ENT that I did loss in high frequency hearing loss, and there is no help for my tinnitus. She also told me I could not prevent more hearing loss. I was told my anxiety could make my tinnitus worse, but when I started anti anxiety medication, it seems to have gotten better.
what med???
@heidiwagenknect6362 What meds did you take?
I've had severe tinnitus for over 20 years. I have all my faculties intact.
Please do more research for all of us suffering
In 1965 i took a large bottle of aspirin thinking it would kill me. I was suicidal. The result was like a freight train in my brain. It was extremely loud, ive had tinnitus ever since. 10 years later i took a whole bottle of sleeping pills after that i tried to get help. Ive been on quite a bit of medications for bipolar illness and arthritis. Im 74 now snd the tinnitus has gotten much worse. I believe medications caused my tinnitus.
The constant 'torment 24/7' hurts my feelings and last few months bcz these feelings am feelinf scared way too much. I like to isolate from the outside world. Yes, do need to do things I enjoy
I have tinnitus-and I believe that pulsatile bot injectables should be explored as an avenue to at the very least, neutralize the effects. I say that because the problem is coming from within. As such, no external noise reduction device can provide optimal effectiveness
Anyone else tired of this exchange with tinnitus "specialists"?
"I can barely sleep because there's been a constant loud shrieking in my head for the past 30 years".
"Hmm, your tinnitus will improve if you get more sleep."
"Ok, well how can I sleep well with this sound in my head?"
"You should try relaxing"
"How can I relax with a constant hissing and shrieking in my head?"
"Well, lack of sleep can lead to stress and anxiety. So you should start with getting more sleep."

How to turn it off
Yes, I've worked construction most of my like and always had noise in my ears but was a very low hiss, like static. Just this year about 6-8 months ago it's been all over the place. I listen to 10hr tinnitus releaf videos at night now with different results. It sucks because it seemed to come from nowhere and can get really load. But i do believe i didn't recognize it because you always hear to term "ringing" and i wouldn't have called it ringing more a hum now ringing fits more often now.
How long did you have tinnitus before that happened?
@@nuke97 not sure what you mean, I've had the hiss, or humming sound for years and it been this last year that I've really having a very high pitch. It seems like I can get higher than 18k or higher, use videos with crickets that help sleeping. The 1 hang up was the word "ringing" I wouldn't call it that so I didn't think I was effected but after the highs I'm having, I realized there's a large range that people hear. Hope that helps? If not ask away I'll do my best but just understanding it myself. Happy New Year
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have tinnitus almost ten years now. What i can say sleeping is very important, at the moment im taking L Theanine for relaxation at the evening. Last video with German doctor is very interesting, i recommend others to check that. He has very good diagnosing technic and for the first time i think that i see someone who is on the good way to find the cure and causes for this problem.
Also wanted to add,I have tremors through my body that I developed at the hands of a medical procedure.It definitely flaire when I am under pressure.My stress is off the radar now.But am hoping I get the tremors to go away after I see my neurological team,then maybe the tinnitus will go away in my left ear.And Dr.Ben your hair looks cute with the new style.No am not trying to be flirtatious, just letting you know.
wow I get tremors along with my tinnitus too, wonder what the connection is. I think its screwing with our central nervous system
The VA gave me a sound machine a little portable machine you plug it in you can hear waves. You can adjust it to the noise in your head and it mask it and I do get sleep
Then why is my tinni extremely loud when I wake up after a dream? it eased down after awake for a while.
So does everybody with mild hearing loss have tinnitus and I know people with more hearing loss than me and no tinnitus for them any explanation for that? hope i get an answer
Neurologist tinnitus in brain
It’s weird. From I heard there are also deaf people with tinnitus as well.
My tinnitus is high-pitched whistle. I tried "Cortexi" drops allegedly claiming to regenerate brain cells -- no effect. Interestingly that I checked these Cortexi drops by a kinesiologist who determined that these will not do anything, nether good not bad. It was exactly the case. My tinnitus noise increases when I clench teeth (jaws), chewing or (blocking my nose) either puff or suck air by my lungs. It is therefore minimum when there is no differential pressure on the ear drums. It slightly reduces when I forcefully open my mouth (jaws). All the above suggests that something "mechanical" affects it. I would like to get more understanding from an expert (in Sydney, Australia)
Your symptoms do sound like they could be influenced by mechanical factors, such as jaw clenching or pressure changes. It would be beneficial to consult with an ENT specialist or an audiologist in Sydney who can offer a comprehensive evaluation.
I’m able to change the tone and intensity of my left ear’s note by jutting out my jaw.
I’m wondering if there could be some sort of physical pressure on the nerve that is causing the sensation.
Something like a tense muscle or physical defect.
Perhaps it’s similar to when you rub your eyes hard there’s an illusion of stars or patterns.
It does seem to get more prominent when I feel stress.
same here i can change the pitch and intensity by jutting my jaw.
I can add another sound to mine by moving my eyes to a certain position. Thankfully it goes away again when I move them back!
Mine started when my son was arrested due to drug addiction and where it led him. I had to watch him be handcuffed and all. Shortly after dealing with this and several years of his addiction mine started to ring. Some days its gone and comes back. I had a hearing test and my ears where not that bad for a 57 year old. I sure mine was from stress. I have woke up at 3AM and no ringing then go back to sleep and wake up at 7am and its back.
Doctor, mientras sigamos hablando de problemas de salud mental o Salud cerebral u otro tipo de patología, para intentar explicar el tinnitus crónico, lo único q haremos será empeorar el problema. El cerebro nunca filtrará o dejará q dejemos de percibir ese sonido, mientras sigamos categorizándolo como peligroso, amenazante etc relacionándolo con patología cerebral u otras. Lo único q haremos es reforzar el tinnitus ya q el cerebro lo categorizará cada vez como más peligroso y el cerebro no filtra lo q interpreta q es peligroso para nosotros, todo lo contrario lo amplificará. Y esto es lo q explica el tinnitus crónico, es un aprendizaje q ha hecho nuestro cerebro ante la propia actividad del sistema nervioso auditivo, que de normal es filtrado por este, pero bajo condiciones emocionales alteradas, estrés, ansiedad, depresión… puede hacer q nuestro cerebro realice un aprendizaje desadaptativo ante esta propia actividad neuronal del SNC, apareciendo la percepción de tinnitus. La solución va en la dirección de quitarle relevancia, importancia, peligrosidad e interpretarlo como lo q es, una respuesta fisiológica natural ante unas determinadas condiciones de desequilibrio o alteración de SNC q origina ese aprendizaje desadaptativo, q luego provoca nuestra preocupación, miedo, ansiedad, q lo único q hace es reforzar las redes neuronales del tinnitus. Dejemos de hablar de problema, patología, y hablemos de proceso neurofisiológico natural q no daña ni tu oído ni tu cerebro. Perderle el miedo es el camino a la solución. Creamos lo q creemos, es el poder brutal de nuestra mente. Más importante q lo q estamos percibiendo es lo q pensamos sobre el ruido q estamos escuchando. En definitiva el cerebro se asusta de su propia actividad neuronal por las condiciones antes descritas, hace que esa actividad sea consciente para el individuo ( tinnitus) y se produce un aprendizaje en este caso desadaptativo. Aquí os dejo un ejemplo q puede ser muy gráfico:
ua-cam.com/video/1lSlAspWUAc/v-deo.htmlsi=r3gaSP3m_IwwNsx9
Se podría decir que la niña es nuestro cerebro, la sombra la actividad nerviosa del sistema nervioso auditivo y los gritos y lloros el tinnitus. La solución parte de explicarle a la niña lo q es la sombra, q es natural y que así se le pierde el miedo y dejamos de fijarnos en ellas e incluso percibirla sino la buscamos. Y no decirle q es un problema una patología u otra cosa q pueda interpretar como peligrosa.
Cuanto más queramos q desaparezca, porque nos molesta, nos sentimos amenazados, nos parece peligroso, lo que hacemos es decirle a nuestro cerebro q es algo muy importante para nosotros, y lejos de filtrarlo y hacer q dejes de percibirlo, lo amplificará reforzando las redes neuronales del tinnitus. Y esto no es porque el cerebro funcione mal, todo lo contrario, hace lo correcto y para lo que evolucionó q es avisar al individuo de cualquier cosa que pueda ser peligroso para su supervivencia y lo amplifica. Pero lo hace por que se está equivocando por que lo categorizo en su día y por las circunstancias emocionales y ambientales del momento como negativo, peligroso, amenazante. Saquémosle de su equivocación, y no reafirmándola hablando de patología, enfermedad, problema, amenaza etc, etc.
El tinnitus aparece por un aprendizaje desadaptativo y lo solucionaremos con un aprendizaje adaptativo, trabajando lo q pensamos, lo q creemos y las conductas q tenemos respecto a esta percepción. Aprendizaje = NEUROPLASTICIDAD
Un saludo, y ánimo a todos.
PD: Os recomiendo leer a Howard Schubiner, y los mindbody sintoms
Siento no haber podido escribirlo in English, seguro podrán traducirlo del Español.
Very helpful, thank you 😊
Thank you for your explanation very interesting...I would say the best theory nevers read.Como trabajar la plasticidad por favor. Muchas gracias.Tengo tinnitus des de 1987.
@@zerho-y4oTrabajando los pensamientos, las creencias y las conductas sobre el tinnitus. No dejar q el tinnitus secuestre tu vida. El tinnitus es un ruido neutro e inocuo. Es nuestra respuesta emocional ( al desconocer, verlo como amenazante, peligroso, fuera de nuestro control) lo q hace q moleste. Hay q trabajar el cambio de significado q nuestro cerebro a establecido..
Mientras lo veamos como algo amenazante, nuestro cerebro no lo va a filtrar. Nuestro cerebro tiene un poder brutal, de filtrar lo q es irrelevante, pero sensibilizarse y amplificar ante aquello q evalúa como importante y peligroso para nuestra supervivencia. La indiferencia marca la diferencia. La explicación es simple, lo q no quiere decir q sea sencillo hacerlo, requiere trabajo, ya q nuestro cerebro evolucionó bajo el principio de precaución y peligro, ya q era más eficiente para sobrevivir.
Very good video!!! Thank you!!

I got tinnitus after a second brain surgery and the placement of a shunt. My surgeon sent me to an ENT, but my PCP, just told me to get used to it because there's nothing anyone can do. It's really confusing as bothersome as all of you know.
Shunt? what’s that?
Is it near the auditory nerves?
@@bryanreidsands6854 it's a valve the regulates the amount of brain fluid in the brain, it consist of a catheter in the brain, the valve in the skull and a long catheter that drains the fluid all the way down to the belly.
@@LouBrikanTIf it doesn’t kill you, it only makes you stranger or stronger.
@@LouBrikanTMaybe the valve or the tube is pressing against something on your ear parts.
@@bryanreidsands6854 I also have this pain in my neck and shoulder, and I thought the same as you do. Maybe the catheter is pressing something. But the doctors say, that's not it. It takes up to 3 years to heal. I'm in my first...
I got it since I was 7 for no apparent reason and even docs had no clue why I got it and how to get rid of it. Recently it got way worse and much louder after I’ve been diagnosed with Migraine and Anxiety Disorder.
I have a very early memory (I’m now 51) of asking my dad about the noise in my ears. (It’s like a high-pitched whistle)
He suggested it was the blood flowing past my ears.
Since then, I’ve heard the sound of blood pumping in my ears when my heart rate is high. To me the blood sounds similar to a rushing fluid pulsing with my heartbeat. It’s a soft sound that goes away when my heart rate returns to normal.
@@g.s.5868 I’m off them
@@bryanreidsands6854 Thanks for sharing. Tinnitus has been with me for over 30 years and I accepted it as part of my body long time ago and there’s nothing I can do to get rid of it. Knowing it’s just the sound of blood flowing inside the brain makes me feel even better because if you focus on Tinnitus too much thinking it as a bad thing it will only get worse.
@@bryanreidsands6854I believe what you have is called pulsatile tinnitus. Unlike regular tinnitus, the cause tends to be identifiable and treatable in most cases
that's right if you think about it gets worse if you listen to it it gets worse concerntrat on something else it works for me
Why does my tinnitus stop for a minute after using my beard trimmer??
If you're experiencing hearing loss, it's possible that your brain is compensating by processing input from the beard trimmer that it typically misses. Tinnitus often stems from the brain's efforts to overcompensate for a lack of ear input. To learn more, Take the Tinnitus Quiz: tinnitusquiz.com/
Can TMJ and neck/shoulder problems cause Tinnitus and the feeling of muffled hearing? I had a hearing test and it was good. They think it's a lot of stress because before my Tinnitus got so worse I went through a lot of stressful events
I also have a lot of returning pain in my ear and in my jaw
I got spinal stenosis and tinnitus fromm a seizure so I would say yes.

Tinnitus is directly connected to EMF. We are surrounded by massive unregulated EMF fields generated by the electronics in use in our modern societies.
MODERN TECHNOLOGY IS THE CAUSE.

I agree with you, do people in remote areas in Africa, Asia, Latin America etc with no tech, have tinnitus? Probably not
My tinnitus is somewhere around 12-14khz. My hearing test from my ENT said all normal no hearing loss but if they’d have tested higher they’d have found my hearing loss.
I have brain injury and tinnitus, my memory collapses as it happens, I’m in awful pain and darkness it makes life almost impossible
Great Ben nice vid !

I have had tinnitus for about 20 years. It's 24/7 in both ears. High pitched. Had hearing test done and Dr says high fregrency hearing loss. I was told also that there was nothing that could be done and no cure. I listen to music or soothing zen music and tinnitus masking videos on you tube. It does help me alot. Mine has gotten worse recently. I do have a bad neck. 3 herniated disks and have seen a neuro surgeon that says i need a neck fusion. I dont want neck surgery. I have heard alot of bad things regarding this surgery. I get headaches too from my neck issue. I had tinnitus before i found out about my neck issues. My question is if i decide to have this surgery do you think my tinnitus will go away? Or could it get worse, too, if i have the surgery? I think if i knew for sure or my chances were really good for my tinnitus to go away, I think i may change my mind and have the surgery. Thank you, and any help is appreciated.
I didn't know I had moderate hearing lost since April of this year. My hearing aids I wear is Phonak Lumity with bluetooth function. I definitely can hear the higher frequencies. However, when I take them out before bed. My tinnitus starts up. I have no clue why
You wearing amplified hearing aids no sound therapy?
@user-ku7ls1ky7q I have an app for sound therapy. I don't like white noise, only nature sounds.
How about elavil anti depressant I was reading it does not cause Tinnitis, one of the few is it worth trying
As Audiologists, we cannot provide insight on which medication would be best for you. We recommend discussing this with you primary care physician. If you have questions about a specific medication, it would be best to ask your local pharmacist.
I have had Pulsatile tinnitus for about 3years, recommended hearing aid only amplified the noise, it is a constant irritation and it even wakes me up from sleep, only notice hearing loss in crowded places or if background noise in the room, no idea how to make this stop

Wouldn’t you think by now after all these years of treating tinnitus by now somebody wouldn’t have delved into the whole brain aspect
Unbelievable!!!!!!!
Well like me my hearing is 💯 percent good, so my ringing is coming from my brain .😮
I am, convinced that the screaming high pitched whine in my head is NOT from my ears. I wish I could figure out the reason for the variability. Chemical? Electromagnetic? Mechanical damage?
Also if you feel tired that can bring on roomy doctor told me it's an ear and brain problem but mine is different there is no ringing just a loud hissing sound which does go down
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I heard also that stress can causing hearing loss . I think my first question was answered. So can stress cause hearing loss.?
What about hyperacusis
Nerve pathways / damage to The nerve
l affected by tinnitus soon after infection of middle ear and throat which lead to sever pain and tear out of ear drum.. although it heals but tinnitus starts and l suffer much.. l took vitamins. and sedative.. and l notice it reduce the tone..
Hi DR Ben I got questions , I got high frequency mix hearing loss and bilateral Tinnitus, doctors prescribed me Starkey hearing aids , can I wear them amplified when am working in city?
If you are in a noisy environment all day, we recommend using hearing protection instead of wearing your hearing aids. Protecting our ears is always the number 1 priority. Consider consulting with your local audiologist to explore custom-fit hearing protection tailored to suit your work environment effectively.
Yeah it's hard to concentrate wen it kicks in. Absolutely. Makes it very difficult to think about anything else apart from the noise in your head.
I've found car exhausts are a bad trigger.
Shit cars drive past with tractor exhaust & my ears starts humming real bad.
Then I get muscle stiffness from cars constantly driving past.
It's horrible. I swear my neighbours put shit exhausts on there cars on purpose. Have had CHRONIC PAIN last 20yrs. Since realising had tinnitus have been able to try & calm down a bit. Pain has abated when I can control anxiety & stress levels.
Sensitive hearing causes lots of side effects wen 1 doesn't know wat is going on.
Causes bad smoking habit from compound stress. Higher rate of fight or flight syndrome I found.
Society is so noisy, NOT MUSICAL. NOISY.
Poor quality machines substandard governing on public health & stress factors.
This will get worse & worse I feel as society gets more frequencies distorting sounds around the world.
I'm curious wat the tinnitus rating is as man hey more & more UNCIVILIZED & turned into a noisy garbage producing pollutant in every way.

Is Tinnitus an early warning of parkinson Disease ? I read it could be!
There is some research suggesting a potential association between tinnitus and Parkinson's disease, but the relationship is not fully understood, and tinnitus alone is not considered a reliable early warning sign for Parkinson's disease. Some studies have reported a higher prevalence of tinnitus in individuals with Parkinson's disease compared to the general population. However, tinnitus is a common condition with various causes, and it can occur independently of neurodegenerative disorders. If you have concerns about tinnitus or potential links to Parkinson's disease, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional, preferably a neurologist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. They can provide a thorough evaluation, consider your medical history, and conduct any necessary tests to better understand your specific situation.
My mother has Parkinson's. My tinnitus started this year and my concern is associated more with genetics. Thank you for your quick response to my message.

Vagus nerve drugs like carbamazepine are marginally effective. some foods and drugs can be triggers. if it stays low to medium and stays primarily on the left side if's good enough. one can't stay on anti-depressants forever. i was sold 5000 worth of hearing aids from U of miami. they are useless
