Video

I'm two and a half years in. Brutal non stop cervicogenic tinnitus. I can't sleep without tablets. Wear a Bluetooth headband playing loud masking sounds 24/7. Feel ill constantly, with a constant spike and pray for death.

You're going to laugh at this. I hope. when I get up and eat my breakfast I put your videos on my laptop in front of me and I listen to at least two of them. That sets me up for my day t o have no fear and giving it no importance. Gets me right on track to start my day. Positively life changing. Can't believe the difference Living Without fear makes.

👍

Im back. Haha. Thanks for being here, spike left, returned hours later. Nooooo,,, BUT im not going to fear. It gets NO importance. Going babysitting and will enjoy their laughter. This thing has no more control thanks entirely to YOUR videos. Thanks again for being here.

Yes

I don't think I have pulsatile tinnitus (like a pulsing drone?). I do have a very high pitched, bilateral metallic whine, all the time. The tinnitus was milder ten years ago, moderate now with spikes. Worried about brain inflammation in early stages. I wonder if near infrared might help or gamma light therapy? I do have mild carotid plaque on one side. Difficult to ascertain a cause let alone what might help. Tried hz frequency generators to mask the noise but not very effective. It is not a fix. I have very good hearing for a 70+ y.o. and very good bone conduction. As a kid I had incredible bionic hearing all the way into highs and lows. Could the the cause be micro ischemia in temporal lobes or cerebellum? Recently had a brain MRI and found possible, supratentorial chronic ischemia. Maybe that is the problem? Also have had yeast in ears and more than usual inner ear infections as a kid. TY for any replys. Downloading your PDF!

How loud is your T, Jack?

Hi Jack, I’m going through a real bad spike and came across your video, it’s been the most helpful and comforting, I hope my spike calms down and my T returns to its normal baseline

I live with 1 ear plug 24 7 been through only few bad spikes in one now, always blame game in my head, did I use earplugs correctly so yea get molded ones, but always have earplugs ready.

What are good point you made. The why and the how. No matter what we can get through it thanks for another good one keep them coming haha.

Great video. Helps a lot!

I'm full of gratitude this morning to God and you . I'm standing here enjoying my regular tinnitus as a 2 weeks Spike has ended going to enjoy every minute. If there were more videos on defeating the fear that comes with it like yours. people would have hope and not feel alone. Noone knows about mine. Thank you for all your videos. Wish millions could find them. Instead of all the silly pull-on on your ear stuff be cured in 30 seconds videos.do you have any idea how important the work you are doings is? I hope so. Thanks beyond words.

Nice tips. It's a nightmare. Reactive Tinnitus? I get similar when walking into a supermarket and the alarm randomly starts to go off as walking in. Why? God knows it's like a sick game.

Thank you Jack! This was a great message! Gives me confidence

I was running. Getting too hot and lost too much weight. Walks are wonderful!

Thanks for your answer thanks to you I just get on with it no more panic

Jack it's a wonderful video everything you say I'm so grateful but I wanted to ask you if you have ever experienced this episodes of tinnitus being sleep-related causing sleep to fluctuate it. Example you're fairly mild all day you watch TV you doze off and you awake with a start with raging tinnitus this can also happen in the middle of the night. You go to bed with fairly mild sounds can you wake up either in the morning or in the middle of the night with horrendous noise in your head I've never heard anyone mention this. I wondered if you had experienced it. There was a sleep study done in the UK related sleep to tinnitus. I just wanted to introduce this because I've watched hundreds of videos on tinnitus has anyone mentioned this. Thanks again for your honest video it's so helpful I watch it again and again when I get discouraged😊

Great video, thanks I suffer with severe tinnitus, thirty years,God heal everone that has it,and we never give up.

Just curious...how did get to sleep during the spike. Great info...dealing with a spike at the moment.

A beautiful place you're in !

Being outside is better then being inside

Singing with earplugs creates olcusion ..

Having a spike at the moment, i found your video helpful and comforting.

Man, Im a Brazillian and I've earned my tinnitus when i was Like 15 and Today i have 20, I got used to my tinnitus during those years, till 6 days ago, My Tinnitus just got worse for no reason, And im trying to get throught it Being the most calm possible, Because i thought that it wouldn't get worse, And im trying to figure out what causes that, But Seeing that im not alone in that fight is Somehow reliever to me, And i am a musician, whostarted mixing some years ago too ( Sorry for some English Mistakes )

How can you tell the difference between a spike vs a new baseline?

Great video, loads of invaluable tips, I’ve already gone unplugged 😎. Thanks Jack.

Ear won't unclogg 😢....any advice?

Good vid Jack, ty for sharing. I'm not a musician, i had severe tinnitus (10 out of 10), now i'm more a 5 of 10, moderate tinnitus. But my tinnitus reacts to loud environments, i was pretty f* if i was a musician. You are a tough one, having your tinnitus and still doing it. TC

I use Alpine MusicSafe Pro earplugs. Thanks for the video, Jack. Keep sharing your insights. Hug.

I have severe ear blockage 😢....will a eustachi help???!!

crisis at 73 a viral infection congestion displaced my eardrum a construction site in my head weeks on and finally an ENT in manhattan gave me enough drugs to resolve infection which I DID NOT EVEN HAVE A FEVER FROM telling me my hearing was damaged suggesting hearing aides. He said if necessary he could surgically place drum back. It restored to correct position but i then developed what I assume is body wide pulsatile tinnitus still unresolved than vertigo of severity landing me in hospital for 3 days for 11 weeks in the other ear. No other medical problems and my hearing came back to normal thankfully To his vast surprise hearing back to normal but no answer for the pulsatile tinnitus. Any advice greatly appreciated thanks

Tinnitus ear loss coming 😢

Earplugs make it sound louder in my head

I really understand your position- how to bring back zest to my life with tinnitus. “Rethink,” is the phrase.

What a blessing to have stumbled in your channel. I have tinnitus and I already practice all the tips here on my own. I also chew gum when the plane takes off/landing or suck on a lollipop to not have clogged ears when I get to my destination. Thanks for sharing.

Jack, do you have hyperacusis?

Great video 💪

do you have any days without tinnitus ?

Thanks for your honesty. It helps to know that others go through what I am and are thriving.

I'm in my second week of a very depressing spike... I have 3 young daughters and it's because of them that I find the strength to carry on and get through this, however, on the flip side to this, they don't help much with their high pitched screams and screeches and god know what other disturbing noises kids make at their age. Think I need to get out for a walk.

This was amazing

Like you I have had Tinnitus for over 20 years , had a major spike in October 2020 and had a couple over recent years , your advice as usual absolutely wonderful, did the same as you , found staying at home indoors all day did not help at all so I put on my walking shoes and off I went , the best thing I could have done walking is such a tonic .hope your spike goes very soon . Thanks so much.

Really needed this! Also going thru a bad "spike" and my tinnitus feels like 50% louder. Thanks for all your videos!

Why don't you contact some entities that are looking for a cure for tinnitus, and help them develop some kind of definitive cure or at least substantial relief? It is necessary to insist with the scientific community regarding this condition. Have you been playing live concerts? Do you often go to bars where live bands play? If so, how do you avoid further damaging your tinnitus? I love playing live and seeing bands live. It's something that's been part of my culture since I was born. It's really hard for me to continue doing it when I have tinnitus.

Going through one now, feeling fed up . Thanks for all your kind encouragement .

Thanks for the reassurance Jack, I’ve just come out of a nasty spike myself. Also I’ve taken your advice from another video and gone unplugged. I stumbled across a second hand Hofner Shorty in the music shop, endless almost silent armchair noodling 🙂.
