Thank you for the information it’s very helpful
Hey Randy Boyd, thank you for the comment. We hope you enjoy exploring our other videos.
Informative
Thank you for addressing habituation, great channel.
I’m 76 and have had tinnitus since 1969. Sometimes it’s loud sometimes not. Usually loud. I just learned to live with it.
I’ll know when I’m dead. My ears will stop ringing 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
It took four months for me, now i can sleep whitout a masking sound. The beep still ther but i dont notice it 23 of 24 hours a day.
Wow i just discovered something i have a deeper problem than tinnitus related to emotions and anxiety and that probably makes its louder in the T . Will work and staying calm. Thanks for the information.
You're welcome, Joanne! Glad it helped. 😊
Hello Ben,
I'm so glad finding your channel!
I,ve got loud tinnitus in my left ear after one month giving birth to my baby. I was so stressed of this sudden loud noise that I developed anxiety and the tinnitus got louder. Now when I understand the vicious cycles you explained I no longer am afraid or stressed of the tinnitus. But can it be due to the sleep deprivation and neck back pain due to nursing that the tinnitus is still so loud and that I get spikes?
You're so brave. I hope you got better already. If not know that you will. Neuroplasticity will do its job and you cant even change that if you're not panicking over your symptoms
You are right , it only sounds good to hear motivation but when you r really in middle of bloody tinnitus battle that's when game begins or ends, not easy
Every video makes me want to contact you for my hyperacusis… not sure why I haven’t…. you seem so passionate about helping and knowledgeable
How's your Hyperacusis?
@@Hew.Jarsol I’ve been using a similar sound therapy setup to Dr. Thompson’s protocol, but with layered ASMR. It has been working better than the constant sound therapies because my brain can’t fixate on one sound when they are constantly changing. Thank you for asking 😊
@@andin916 So changing the sounds constantly?
@@Hew.Jarsol ASMR does that - it changes sounds on a consistent basis, but the noises don’t hurt my ears like all of the outside noises…. Like a gentle transitioning. Otherwise my mind will take a consistent noise and start turning it up until it’s unbearable. ASMR doesn’t give time for that. I don’t know if that makes sense….
for some reason whenever i try to relax and do deep breathing my eyes start tearing up, i think its cause ive always been so tense and my body is finally getting a chance to relax
My Tinnitus began June 3, 2020. I have seen an ENT and 2 Audiologist in los Angeles. It started after lack of sleep for a few days after some crazy anxiety! My Tinnitus is up and down. Im 8hz-9hz in my right ear. when I hold down on my ear I hear a persistent buzz! My hearing test came back fine and they did an ABR it was fine too
Hey Michael Brown, thank you for the comment. Try some of the stress reduction and anxiety reduction aspects. Hearing louder tinnitus when you touch your face/neck is probably not significant to the cause.
Is your tinnitus better now days
That's fucking normal lol everyone can hear that if they focus on this
You are right , it only sounds good to hear motivation but when you r really in middle of bloody tinnitus battle that's when game begins or ends, not easy , but does hearing aid help ?
hi, md.ben my ear tinitanas all time. you solve me tintans please
Is habituation work for severe tinnitus
Is possible to break down the terms that you use for habituation in layman’s terms. I have had Tinnitus for years.
Hey Dr.Ben,
Are you using VidIQ?
tubebuddy
In the comment section I read something about tinnitus caused by a period of intense stress, anxiety and depression. I’m pretty sure I’m in the same boat. Is it true that this kind of tinnitus will subside or completely go away after healing from a this kind of stressful period? Or is it permanent after all?
The perception of tinnitus can subside with the reduction of stress and anxiety.
Ok when you habituate in two weeks it's probably very mild like my old tinnitus, when it's severe like my new tinnitus it's much much harder but not impossible, at least that's the theory but I want to believe in it and the theory makes sense
Great explanation of the feedback loops.
Information and positive messages Dr. Ben provides are very helpful.
I’m a chronic tinnitus sufferer since 2014 with an extremely variable tinnitus that has been very difficult to habituate to.
Keep up the great work Dr. Ben and I appreciate all the support.
Hey G, thank you for your enthusiastic support. I'll keep the videos coming.
Why do you keep telling people that tinnitus is permanent
It would be good if you can update your videos and address how food can affect your tinnitus and is reversible.
Great suggestion. Thanks!
Thank you for your helpful videos!
Is it possible to habituate to tinnitus if the tinnitus sound is constantly changing frequency (sometimes within seconds or fraction of seconds)? If it was always a constant frequency, I feel like my brain can more easily ignore the tinnitus. However, I'm concerned that it will be too difficult for the brain to habituate to the change in frequency. Would love to hear your opinion on this.
Hi! Thank you for reaching out. We're glad you have found our videos to be beneficial. It is possible to habituate when the sound is constantly changing. In fact, it's very common to have tinnitus that changes pitch rather than a stagnant sound. Schedule a complimentary telehealth consultation: treble.health/consultation
@@treblehealth Thanks a lot for your kind reply, I appreciate it! Just to clarify, does it make any difference if the tinnitus pitch is specifically changing/oscillating when there is sound input (e.g. someone speaking to me or I am speaking, etc)? And does that give any hint on the cause of the tinnitus? Thank you!
Hi Ben I am in Italy in Rome I suffer from tinnitus for about 3 and a half months due to hypocasuia drop in high frequencies I wear hearing aids with TRT white noise since last September 15th at the beginning my tinnitus caused me anxiety and strong stress I used Xanax for a month then I removed, I find it very interesting what you show in your videos and I'm happy to see them they give me the strength to go on for about a month I started a journey made by me with mindfulness in January I will start Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for today I have to say I can manage it better than in the last few months in practice if I do not give importance and I get distracted it is as if I do not perceive it. My question is: my tinnitus bothers me more in noisy places even with prostheses worn while if I am in a quiet place and with few sounds it relaxes me more but is it normal?
thank you so much for your videos

I never have tinnitus when i wake up for the first few hours, it's heaven, then slowly gets worse as the day goes on, I have no idea why
I have the same issue. Laying in bed it is pretty quiet but as soon as I'm up and alert it starts.
I haven't had five minutes of tinnitus-free time in fifty years...
@@watermain48 after 50 years how r u. How is ur sleep. How is ur hearing. U use hearing aid?
Any advice ? my T age is 14 months
@@iqbalbaloch555 Yes, I wear hearing aids. Currently they are Oticon More. I have a fairly severe hearing loss. I have learned to sleep alright in spite of the tinnitus.

What should i do to face tinnitus for the next 50 years 🌹
you have made several videos on tinnitus but sorry to say none of them work.
Hi Dr Benn, I got tinnitus after taking Citalopram. It was supposed to calm me down but now I’m worse. It’s so loud I don’t know if I’ll ever habituate. I’m scared of taking any medication now. Do you know of any anti-depressants that don’t cause tinnitus.
No antidepressants cause tinnitus… But anxiety and stress can make tinnitus significantly worse. This balance between the tinnitus symptom and the drugs to help with depression is a delicate balance. I help people with this one on one.
I read the side effects for all of the anti depressants and ear ringing was listed as a side effect for anti depressants.
How're you now?
@@usmansattar6759 thanks for your reply. Yes, I've still got tinnitus, at least I think I do. I just ignore it. I must admit that the pandemic and my job sent me into a massive depression. I'm getting better now, less anxious, and so my tinnitus is alot less. I hope that makes sense.
@@robertwidger9878 I've inflammatory eardrum and earwax removed earwax and ent give me medicine for eardrum he said it will go away if we treat the cause
Hello Ben. I have had tinnitus now for 2 months. I find what you say is interesting and helpful and I am starting with your meditation programme. I would like to try your retraining but I live in the UK. Do you know where I could access such retraining therapy in the UK? Many thanks! Alan

Did you ever get set up with Dr. Ben? I too am in the UK....would give anything to live right next door to his team
I’ve had tinnitus for a while, though it never bothered me in the past. I would only hear it in quiet environments, if I paid attention to it . But last week I had a spike in my left ear and it has not gone away. I also developed a clicking on the left side of my jaw, and my jaw constantly feels worn out. I’m wondering if that’s TMJ causing the tinnitus spike, or just a coincidence. Either way I hope the spike goes away soon, I can handle the regular tinnitus (the way it is in my right ear rn). It was soooo nerve racking the first couple of days. It’s annoying to feel this imbalance in sound, but I’ve stopped panicking over it, and honestly the panic was louder than the spike itself.
How has it been since then? And your jaw?
Question bro. I went to an audiologist and they said my hearing is beyond perfect. And that it’s just from stress and lack of sleep? So what steps would you say to get it to go away? Cus she told me once I can get rid of the stress and sleep better it will go away??
Your audiologist is on the right track. The underlying mechanisms are related to stress, anxiety, sleep, wellness, etc. Did you read my e-book yet? That's a good place to start...or join the group coaching program.
Did it go because I am in same condotion
that was a nice video. how do i reach you?
Hi, I can deal with my tinnitus during the day. I just ignore it. My problem is I wake up from a deep sleep between 3 to 5 am and it’s so loud it fells like my head is shaking. I could get used to this if this wouldn’t keep happening. This is a number 10 flare up! I can’t ignore it! What can I do? I live in a small town and all of the ent doctors around here tell me they can’t find anything wrong with my MRI and my hearing test. My neck has been hurting too. I drove two hours away to a spine specialist and he said my c5 and c6 were degenerating and I had a bone spur. He is sending me to physical therapy but also told me it had nothing to do with my tinnitus. It was onset with Covid 6 weeks ago.

I've had tinnitus since April 2020. I feel like it took me 6 months to habituate. I fear I'll have a relapse though. Is that likely?
No it's not likely if you are taking care of yourself and know what to do.
What kind of things did you do to habituate?
Thank you. Im in Anaheim. Doctor where in California are you?

When i started to hear it, about 20 years ago, after one loud Rock concert i remember that it was anoying for me for around two weeks. Offcourse, i hear it since that 24/7 but i forgot that it exists, i got used to it very fast. I hear it only if i pay attention xD
You haven't had any spikes in 20 years?
I want to ask if you tinnitus sound become louder over the years or the same?
@@hamody224 It's the same in general, only becomes louder if i catch a cold and after my shows(as a singer), when i come home to sleep i hear it louder then usual, but the next day its the same as always :)
@@NikolaVa87 how u overcome your tinitus??
@@chabisharma9312 Simple, i got used to it, just don't pay attention ;-)
You make me feel loads better my doctor rang me other day I mentioned my ear was getting louder as i was anxious on the fone she said anxiety doesnt cause it and to take antidepressants im like well irs worse when anxious i know my own body im in the UK our doctors are not as good as you thankyou for your knowledge and videos xx
Tinnitus is complex. Most doctors see it just an auditory symptom of hearing loss...but as you know it is much more complex.

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, right now we only pay for subtitles in English.
Hello, is it possible to have tinnitus just by "reading" about it? One time I was feeling bad, looking up at dr google then i read about 'ears ringing' and i think i started to notice it and now it wont stop.
Same thing happened with me 😭 , are u okky now ?
Same here
@@musharraf2771 i still have it.. sometimes it is louder. But im really trying to ignore it. I think that helps
Yeah, they did research once where they put people without tinnitus in a silent room and were told to look for sounds. After they came out the majority had tinnitus.
is TRT training covered by insurance? If not ..it should be
Unfortunately, most tinnitus services are not covered by medical insurances. Hearing tests are covered, however. We offer telehealth consultations. Feel free to contact our team via email and we can do our best to help you. Our email is contact@puretinnitus.com
Did you have it yourself?
Hey Paul, thank you for the comment. Yes I have had mild tinnitus since my years attending loud music festivals in university days. We hope you enjoy exploring our other videos.
How can you avoid stress?
You can't. Stress is part of life.
I like what you are saying but what is the purpose of the super annoying music loop in the background? Is there a purpose for that ? I'm interested to learn. BC my response to it halfway through is to hit the pause button bc the over and over repetition of the same musical line I find is extremely distracting. TY

you are good doctor....I got tinnitus from meds 10 years ago....it was bad for 6 months....then for 10 years I hardly noticed it unless i read an article about it....listened hard..and heard it. But now it is back...louder...for first time in 10 years. I fear that it is from covid vaccines....a few cases are coming in about it. Anybody else have renewed or new onset of tinnitus after covid vaccines...not covid itself?
Yes the day after my second shot my tinnitus and hyperacusis went through the roof and it had not come back down . I never gave the vaccine a thought until I read story after story about the shot causing tinnitus and making current tinnitus and hyperacusis worst and even causing deafness .It was not a lot but if you are one of those than it matters .I do believe it was from the shot because I have never had it this bad ever
Mine came after my second shot. I'm know there's not a lot of data out there yet on this, but it was the only new thing in my life and coincided with my second vaccine shot and I also had an intense reaction when I got that shot. Then I hear that COVID can also cause tinnitus. What do you think Dr. Ben?
@@lyndakiesler9798 Are you aware of this FB Group:facebook.com/groups/265035901879921
If it takes to up to a year, do you notice it gradually getting better during the year ?
For me, yes. It rescinded further and further into the background, to the point where I wasn't aware of it for 99.9% of the day. And when I did, I wasn't experiencing any anxiety as I did when I first got it. And it didn't take a full year, more like 7-9 months.
@@bassthang2277 how are you doing now? in that year when you were habituating? was it intermettent? could you hear it constantly but getting lower in volume or was it off and on lower in volume when it was on?
@@bernardocantu77 Bernardo. I'm doing fine, thanks. There have been days when the ringing was more noticeable, and days when I just don't hear it much. No, it was never intermittent. It's always there.. There has never been a time when it was off 100%, but some days, pretty damn close to 100%. But I can go through most days when I don't pay attention to it, it just doesn't bother me anymore. I consider that success. My audiologist says my tinnitus reacts to sound, so I use sound therapy.
Hi, I have a question: Does watching and masturbating to porn (maybe even being addicted) stand in the way of habituating? Or be the cause of tinnitus? Or is it the withdrawal from it that can cause stress?
i habituate but i get stress and fear response sometimes...
how do you overcome the fear?
Kyungjo Do the fear will eventually dissipate..i had to address the stress and feat first by taking anti stress supplement that works really well for me..u gotta get back to ur normal state and keep working on feeling good..
U gradually get back to ur normal life..
@@djvirtudazo5027 what anti stress suplement did you got?
@@kyungjodo6494 the compnay is called jing herbs and its BUPLEURUM DRAGON BONE u can get it in amazon..
In my case any time I try to meditate my tinnitus gets worse at the exact moment I begin to relax. THe volume is also worse in the morning or after a nap. I’ve had instances where my tinnitus was almost non existent until the point when I try to relax or at night just at the point when I’m about to drift into sleep. I’ve actually had several days to a week with virtually no tinnitus then one nap in the mid day will bring it right back! Seems like relaxation has the opposite effect on me!
I noticed the same thing, after a nap it's always louder, after almost 4 years I still doesn't understand.
This happens to me!!! does any of you have cervical or jaw problems? i do have TMJD, maybe because of bruxism?
I have had raging tinnitus for 5 years. It’s maddening at times. The volume varies but is CONSTANT, 24/7. I fall asleep just fine to a White Sound on my Sharper Image sound machine but I wake up in the wee hours of the morning with that annoying, constant metallic screeching going on in my ears. I found a CZcams of 10 hours of a “cancelling” sound for tinnitus that I’m going to try tonight. My Dr. won’t help me and I’m desperate. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks for being there.
I hope that you are better now, I know what you're talking about.
Thanks for the excellent advice, Ben. I will show my gratitude by giving you some excellent advice. Free of charge. For Heaven's sake, stop waving your hands around. The only way I could watch this was by putting the video in a new window and moving it to the bottom of the screen so that I could only see your face and not your constantly waving hands. It is extremely distracting, and it makes no sense. If you wrote an article about this, would you underline every word? Or write the whole thing in capital letters. Keep your hands out of sight until there is a word or phrase that might merit emphasis with a hand gesture.
