Is tinnitus physical or psychological?
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 08. 2016
- Tinnitus lies in the central nervous system and is affected by physical, mental, emotional, hormonal, nervous, chemical stressors etc changes in the body. So a physical blow to the head can cause ringing, just as opening a letter and receiving devastating news can cause tinnitus, just as going to a loud concert or having an anaesthetic can cause tinnitus. Managing the physiology of tinnitus is key to getting rid of it.

#Tinnitus - Jak na to + styl
Thumbs up if this man saved you countless hours of stress and anxiety
I literally love him.
I'm very stressed out and it gets worse. I believe is related. Any one else agrees?
Yes, it's definitely related. How are you doing today?
It starts as physical cause, and keeps going as a psychological thing.
Wow, thank you for this helpful video.
You just answered all the questions I’ve spent weeks trying to explain to my husband. I’ll be showing him this video immediately. You’re just too wonderful for words, Julian. ❤️🙏
Just what I needed tonight. Thank you. You help so many people that I would love to think that you have someone to go to and also get relief. Much love to you
I've had tinnitus as long as i can remember and i thought it was normal, human hearing is far from perfect. About two years ago I found out that some people have the joy of actually experiencing complete silence.. and i would give anything for a moment like that.
I hear it all day long except during conversations, during which my mind is sufficiently distracted to not notice it.
all my life it has taken me on average 1,5 hour to fall asleep and i have grown a phobia of loud noises because they exacerbate the constant high-pitch ringing sound.
This is the video i see from you, i'll be subbing and watching more video's on the subject. I hope to find something in there that will help me, personally. thanks for the content!
How are you these days?
It makes complete sense, thank you
Julian you really are Amazing.!
God bless you Julian, for your help past 4 years,,still there but it gets worst sometimes,
Totally makes sense.
Julian one time spoke about allowing space in your head for the tinnitus. This simple but absolutely brilliant statement Is where I can help my physical self psychologically.
I've watched quite at few of your videos and I'd like you to mention how hearing aids can help Tinnitus. By replacing the lost frequencies for people that have hearing loss hearing aids can massively reduce Tinnitus.
Thank you so much!! You are helping me more than anyone else. Greetings from Norway.
Glad to hear this information is helping you. If you would like more support please feel free to join one of my on-line Q&A sessions on most Fridays on my app called QUIETEN. You can download it here: www.quietenapp.com
Thank you Julian it’s really hard for me to disconnect from the tinnitus since that’s all I think that it will be there for ever and I can’t live this way can you give me some advice
Dear Mr Julian Cowan Hill, May I just tell you just how much of a blessing you are for me? I really thank you from the bottom of my heart for making your videos. They are a life saviour for me. Sincerely and respectfully yours. Vee
Hi Vee. It seems like you are on the 'other side' and tinnitus free? What has helped you the most - and for how long did you have it? /Arnela

great man. I had an inner trauma accident 10 weeks ago free diving and now deaf in left ear, permanently. I then developed tinnitus in that ear, but now in both ears. Suggestions Julian. You are doing a great job y brother
I recommend having craniosacral therapy to help process the shock and to try and free up the flow of blood supply and motility of the tissues affected by your diving accident. Nerve damage causes deafness but there can be temporary restrictions caused by shock and trauma held in tight tissues. Hands on work can help free this up. Some of deafness can be structural and vascular issues. Thanks for your feedback. Let me know how you get on. info@juliancowanhill.co.uk
Do you prefer it over acupuncture. Had 3 treatments, but no improvement as of yet?
Julian when you first got tinnitus,did you freak out,or were you as calm as you are today?
Hi I've just read about ground ivy is good for T....is this true
I have experienced an increase in noise, and an entirely new tone added to my tinnitus the last few weeks. Today was the worst day I've gone through. My mind is constantly racing, saying "it's because that kid yelled very loudly at you", or "it's because of that time you played in your band without earplugs", and that has really triggered some anxiety.
Looking back on it, my original tinnitus was like a mild massage compared to this, and that just fueled it even more. But since it's only 7 months since I got my tinnitus, this could very well be my first tinnitus spike, and just watching two of your videos made me relax so much. I really get it now. I'm not scared to death and anxious, like i were when i kept saying to myself; this is not gonna end, this is your life from now on.
I will for sure begin watching your videos, and look forward to the decrase in my tinnitus :)
@@Reroluelisre im doing much better, my tinnitus doesn't bother me anymore :)
@@Reroluelisre i never notice it in my day to day life, but i don't think the volume of the tone has gotten a lot quieter, just that when i used to get really emotional about it, my focus on it made it seem a lot worse. There's hope if you're suffering with your tinnitus, although it's very scary in the start. Best wishes
@@Reroluelisre oh and yeah stress does affect it, very noticeably
I love this guy
Thank you very much for all the content you create Julian! Can't express how grateful I am for the mental tools you have given me to cope with tinnitus. To be honest it's not much coping anymore, most of the time it's pre-tinnitus living. I regularily have spikes but they always go down. Sometimes it takes 2 days, sometimes 3 months but it always backs off.
We need more positivity like this in the tinnitus "community", thanks again!
Hej Rasmus. Faldt lige lidt random over din kommentar her på en af Julians fine videoer. Jeg er lidt i en desperat situation lige nu, hvor min tinnitus fuldstændig gik amok for 12 dage siden. Jeg har egentlig haft det i lang tid, tror jeg - men jeg har aldrig tænkt over, at det var tinnitus, og valgte at ignorere det - og så gik det væk uden at give mig nogen form for problemer. Det gjorde det så ikke tre dage i træk for 12 dage siden, og nu har jeg bare været i et sort hul siden da med konstant tinnitus og ingen søvn.
Lyder som om, du er kommet på den anden side - så ville høre dig om gode råd. Har du bare brugt Julians råd, har du kontaktet ham - og hvad har du ellers gjort for at få det bedre? Nogle behandlere af en art, du ville anbefale i Danmark?
Alle råd modtages med kyshånd! Vh Arnela
@@MuminovicHow are you these days?
First go to a good ENT to get tested for fluid build up in the middle ear. Also fluid that's not draining correctly from the eustachian tube can ballooned out so to drain out fluid. Another option is a Cochlear implant.
thx
What is your feeling on antidepressants?
I have had tinnitus for about 2 months and 1/2. I have made progress in two months. My ringing is 95-100% masked by ambient noises. The onset of my tinnitus I was at a 5-6 which significantly impaired my sleep. I have been on the right track and calmed my nerves and fought for a good nights rest. I have been sleeping a lot better but occasional I have some troubles sleeping. The only time I hear it is when my body is rested in the evening or in dead quite. I hear a low hiss/ring and hum in my right ear. I also have occasional spikes in which is around a 1 to 3. I really enjoy watching your videos because it has motivated me to push for a full recovery. My question is what would you suggest that I do to make a successful recovery? I have been eating healthier and exercising more. I took some time off from work to focus on me. The only concern I have is that I may have some level of hearing loss. The only reason why I feel I do is because the mess I am taking for my high blood pressure, although my dr says there is no indication that meds I am taking cause tinnitus. My ent dr says everything is great, no hearing loss and hearing is superb. I had MRI and MRa scans done and everything looks great. So with this said I am dumbfounded and don't know what I need to do at this point. I need some advice.
Adam Barragan how is your Tinnitus now ...I hope it's better
How.is it.now?
Any news?
Great video. I absolutely agree with your holistic description of how the nervous system can become 'up regulated' by any input. As an Osteopath however I would urge you please to be careful talking to people with chronic pain issues about being 'out of alignment' and needing straightening up. There is no truth in this. Unfortunately these ideas can become toxic in the instance of chronic pain. The truth is nobody is in perfect alignment and no chiropractor or osteopath has ever aligned anybody thus reducing their chronic pain. What might have happened is they gave them the belief they were aligned and this resolved their chronic pain because they were able to let go of that toxic belief. This principal is exactly as you describe for tinnitus following exposure to a loud noise. The body will adapt and heal if well being is not compromised! Essentially tinnitus is believed to be the same thing as chronic pain except the the symptom is auditory not nociceptive.
Thanks for this. I agree with you. Accepting and being with rather than imposing rigid ideas is best for the mind and body. I think orienting to a midline and deepening into this can be very helpful too. Craniosacral therapy has taught me that easing into ones structure and holding can help something ease, release and soften which helps bring in well-being. Thanks for your positive feedback. Best wishes Julian
Hi Julian! My husband recently got tinnitus about 2 and half months ago. it seems as though it is only getting worse. he also has OCD and is having an extremely hard time coping with the tinnitus, and his obsessive ways only make the tinnitus worse. we live in a very small town where there are no doctors close by that can help him with this. this has completely consumed our lives. Can we possible exchange information and maybe do a skype session. thank you so much for posting all these amazing videos, it has helped so much. regards, Joana
him having ocd may make it harder to get used to it. I wish him luck, have him sleep with a fan or fan noise
thank you for your kind words! ♡ it has been very hard, but i am trying to stay positive. reaching out to other people who have this has helped tremendously.
How is he now?
How is he these days?
Hi Julian, thank you for these videos. I have sent you a private message on youtube, I know you must get several inquiries, but I would greatly value any input you have.
Could Bells Palsy affect hearing and cause tinnitus ?
an sow happy I meant you I need to do this
Hi, thank you for these videos that you put out. I have suffered from tinnitus for over 3 years following just one night of loud music. It is very bothersome especially when trying to sleep. I hear that tinnitus is caused from damage to the inner hair cells in the brain. It is very complex. A friend of mine was at the music show the same time i was there and he did not get tinnitus afterwards. I did. I am still to this day confused and stressed out about it. I don't understand why the sound is still persisting in my head. Could it be my diet ? I would think it would go away by now. I try to not stress about it at times. Rarely do i get good sleep. I just want it to go away. Help ?
Archmetal06 I have the same problem, I am a musician, before my tinnitus i use to have problems with stress and depresion. Then one night with a rock concert I develop tinnitus, the interesting think of it is that my other friends didnt develop, only i have tinnitus. I found very help full julian cowan hill. So I start to doing yoga, meditation and swimming.. with only 1 month of doing this mi tinnitus decrese alot for 80% to 30%. i feel more calm even with tinnitus spikes. I think thats the secret. (sorry for my english im from mexico)
Please watch his other videos or download his book. He explains why some people get it and others don't. It's basically deep held emotions that are set off by an event such as a noise or a cold in my case. This then causes us to be on high alert all the time which is why we are super sensitive. Follow his advice such as eating healthily, taking up yoga and doing positive things. Your tinnitus will then reduce as your mind calms down.
@@mauricioaltamira9448 how are you now??
@@woodrowcloseHow do you remain calm with this noise?
Hello?
I noticed that when i drink a significant amount of alcohol, my tinnitus disappears, (I know this is bad). Is this because alcohol depresses the central nervous system?
yes! Basically this tinnitus is "yours" head voice
Hi julian, thanks for the advices. I developed tinnitus through a loud movie at home (my guessing.) It has been a couple weeks now, and I know I shouldn't complaint much since there are ppl who has it for much longer than me. But because of not knowing how I really got it stresses me out a lot.
Do I have hope that it will fade away? My mood has been a rollercoaster and I don't want it to effect others around me.
Do you have any suggestions of which i should Do?
I have been practicing yoga, but sometimes the excercise increase the ringing.
I recommend having weekly craniosacral therapy for a couple of months and this is likely to help release the buzzy charge you may be carrying. Keep going with the yoga - as long as it is gentle and relaxing.
Julian Cowan Hill thanks for replying. Keep up the good works sir. Your videos sure helps a ton.
Now. Are you ok. Trung Tran
@@mebeophi I am perfectly fine. I can hear it but so use to it now that I dont hear it much anymore
Dear Julian, pls kindly could you tell me what you think of my ringing since I went through horrible extremely complicated ear problem cloggness. And plugged ears! Then Eustachian tube dysfunction, 4 months was in pain and air pressure was too high felt like exploding my ears and face 😢 and hissing noise then was low, gradually got more consistent and gradually louder now is really loud and constant, when it loud I feel pressure in ears airfulness also! everyday I feel like dying and vomiting because of it, I am horrified don’t know how to continue life w this 😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙌🏻🙏🙏
I would go on a detoxing diet and which followed the advice recommended on my Quieten app here: www.quietenapp.com please do daily face massages which you can find in level one techniques, release and relax the jaw - there are videos on how to do this in Technical information.

By removing the Candida from your system that would be a physical impact wouldnt it, as it helped your tinnitus go away, must have created interference.
It is caused by the brain. The main reason is hearing loss. Other reasons are underlying health problems. But of course much more research is needed.
Mine started with stress, rapid weight loss and prescriptions my doctor gave me in January. Lexapro and xanex. Can it go away?
Any luck?

@@petercofrancesco1620 thanks Peter. I’ve learnt to control it. Blood sugar is an issue too, especially as a type Ii diabetic.
If it's physically it will go away you said....its was due to noise exposure and it's not going away
Noise exposure then what they will do
Mine is gotten laud can a tooth ache make it louder
Yes this is common. If you think of this as irritability in your auditory system and then you add irritability from your dental system. You know that both networks are very connected. Best to get your tooth sorted.
I have had tinnitus for almost 2 years now..I have the high pitched hissy kind I guess with fleeting tones once in a while and blocked ears once in a while..My standard hearing test's were normal but on my LDL I dropped off at about 10.5 HZ..My question is, I am bothered by Tinnitus most of the time but have come a ways from the start but I have days where I can hardly hear it or its very low hiss..Why is that? My stress is the same its just lower for a day..Sometimes turning my head blocks my ear to and changes the sounds...
Hi, you have same type of tinnitus as me.hows yours now? I haven't found anybody with same as me
How is it now?
Being a practising muslim helped me accept the tinnitus but I never give up the hope of getting better oneday😀. I saw this video which helped me focus more the relaxing aspects of it. It was great help thank you so much for your efforts❤
Really glad the videos have helped you. Prayer-time can be very helpful for connecting you with a sense of peace, feeling looked after and safe. Also working directly with the body to help it feel calm and safe helps a lot too. Slow, gentle interactions and hands on therapy like massage or craniosacral therapy can help the body come out of fight or flight and cause the hearing to stop listening out so acutely.
@@JulianCowanHill I totally agree with you..Your efforts are appreciated because your videos helps many years after your recorded thousands of ppl with tinnitus. Thank you so much🌺

@@colmranger that's horrible! sorry for your loss... in between those two years you didn't get better at all? and did the tinnitus ever get better? apparently there's a new drug coming out specifically for tinnitus that helps deal with or even potentially cure tinnitus. I am hoping by the grace of god and Jesus that this drug works out well and is able to cure anyone with this horrible condition 🙏🏽🙏🏽 stay strong and do whatever it takes to beat this thing. Have you heard of a person on CZcams that's called Liam cures tinnitus? you should check out his channel. he is helping a lot of people beat tinnitus and even get rid of it all together so check him out!
@@ssgokublack4813 it never improved just progressively worse. I've see three ear specialists had three scans and all found nothing wrong and said tinnitus has no cure I must learn to accept it and stop dwelling on it. It's horrendous I feel very depressed from it.
I have a question about therapy. I'm a student and I don't have much money; I was wondering how effective you think therapy would be every 2-3 weeks, and if it is even worth doing it that infrequently. I am a musician about to go to university with this high-pitched ringing in my ears and it is ruining my entire life right now. What should be a wonderful experience is turning into a nightmare.
Thank you in advance for any advice you may give me.
It might be helpful to have a couple of skype sessions to get you on track. Contact me on julian@cst.eu.com to set this up. Best wishes Julian
I think it is very worth while. It all helps. Maybe the best thing would be to have cranial work once every 2-3 weeks and then do yoga or tai chi every week. The latter is cheap and once you have learnt it you have it for life!
Yes. I have a tinnitus free life except for when I get a cold when it comes back temporarily. Please look at the positive tinnitus stories sections on people reporting how their tinnitus went away. You can find that video here:
czcams.com/video/aEdBTw4ohDg/video.html
I would take up yoga or tai chi and practice it regularly. This is cheap. If you can afford ti have craniosacral therapy sessions as often as you can. We can always have a skype session if you want. For students I charge £45 a session. Please practice and try out these focussing techniques: czcams.com/play/PLxZrSQ0Jpqb_9uOg82RORVw-HLKGnBtmu.html
They are good for taking your mind off tinnitus and getting your hearing and nervous system to settle. Good luck with it all best wishes Julian
How are you?
Tinnitus is physical. I went deaf in one ear and then mild and then severe tinnitus.
surely its physical via hearing loss?
No. Most people experience tinnitus after prolonged periods of stress and have perfect or good hearing. Hearing loss is a major trigger for tinnitus too. At the end of the day tinnitus is a nervous system activation that can remain after whatever the trigger is.
Thankyou
My hearing came back perfect on a standard audio test and I also never noticed a change in my hearing when I first got my tinnitus 6 years ago, or with my massive spike that happened 9 months ago.
To be honest, I really got fed up of hearing again and again while reading on the net that it must be due to hearing loss, when it clearly wasn't the case for me, and many others have the same frustration. As far as I could tell there was no physical trigger for either my original tinnitus or the spike, it just came on seemingly out of nowhere one day. It was definitely caused due to years of chronic stress for me, that explanation explains every confusing and random aspect of my tinnitus that I ever had.
I've yet to have anyone point me to some scientific research that specifically explains this maladaptation of the brain due to hearing damage that is supposed to cause the tinnitus. I'm very interested in seeing evidence that supports this universally accepted statement, because we hear about it a lot, but not why doctors have come to this conclusion.
Hey I'm Indian . I don't have hearing loss and I'm doubt about my tinnitus is it physical or mental. But i wasn't sleeping well .. whole night watching movies webseries.. this has made me to cry a lot.. I' was using earphones.. how to track out the reason?@@Grays_Plays
You sound really convincing and I really want to believe you but my tendency is toward the cynical. People abuse people's situations for Money. If what you say is true, why aren't specialist Tinnitus doctors saying it? And what are you getting out of doing these videos?
Excellent questions, and though I'm not Julian, I believe they deserve an answer. Here's my take on your questions and it's just my opinions, so take that for what that is worth from a stranger over the internet.
It's understandable to be cynical with stuff like this, especially for us tinnitus sufferers because we are all in a state of nervous system dysfunction, which makes us naturally more fearful and anxious about everything.
What I will say about Julian is that he isn't charging anything for these videos and given that his sub count is in the thousands and not millions, he probably doesn't make a ton of money from them off of ads, (though granted he should be making some.) I also started doing videos on tinnitus because I was suffering from it to an incredible level only a few months ago, and the fact that I've improved is nothing short of a miracle if you were to ask most doctors. I want to make videos because I want other people to experience the improvements I've made, because I feel that no one should have to suffer this because I've been there and I know how much it can make you wish for death when it's bad. I'm certain Julian as a former sufferer feels the same way about helping people.
The reason why doctors aren't saying this stuff about tinnitus is because basically, they just don't know it. The whole approach of medicine in the countries that we live in is geared towards the very physical and easily observable factors. If someone has a broken arm, it's clear cut what the aetiology, pathology, treatment and cure are, but with chronic ailments that are strongly affected by emotional and mental factors, factors that aren't easily observed in laboratory settings, things can look plain unexplainable to purely fact and logic based science.
Basically, there are holes in the approach of most medical fields, and even those doctors dedicated to tinnitus will be limited by this approach. I have yet to meet a doctor that truly comprehended how powerful the subconscious minds effect on the physical body is. They overlook it because you can't measure it with a microscope or a blood test basically. They don't understand it so they work with what they do understand, but that will never explain the whole picture of a health issue. This is why side effects from pills vary from person to person, and why it's so hard to predict exactly how a patient will react to a treatment, there are too many unknown variables.
So as a short answer to your question about why doctors aren't saying this stuff about tinnitus is that tinnitus is affected very strongly by your nervous system, which is affected by everything, and especially your thoughts and your emotions, and they don't know how to quantify that, so they ignore to put it plainly. Tinnitus is a mystery to them because the big factors that affect it fall outside of their areas of study, and it's going to stay that way because the approach doesn't allow them to entertain the idea of your feelings being able to make your sick. It just doesn't seem logical.
This is why doctors will often pin the cause of tinnitus on things like noise exposure or hearing damage. They view physical damage as the biggest factor in the equation because they don't understand the other factors. They overlook the fact that lots of people, like myself, have perfect hearing and yet still have tinnitus.
I hope this helps.
