#Tinnitus
Thank you very much kind sir. I'm 19 and my doctor told me just today that I can't cure my tinnitus and will have to live with it for the rest of my life. I found your videos and you are helping me not to cure tinnitus, but not to develop it on the first place! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES
hey how are you now ?
what a wonderful human being you are. Thanks so much, your advice helps greatly!
I cant even begin to describe how helpful these videos are. As my Tinnitus has evolved over 20 years... whenever I get into a bad spot i come back to hear these positive sentiments. It puts be back into habituation every time. Thanks!
How are you now
The sound of this guy's voice is soothing. I want him to read me a bedtime story while I forget my tinnitus.
This video and one of your previous ones really helped me, thanks!!
Thanks again Julian!
Thank you for your videos. I've had intrusive tinnitus for 3 years now. No need to tell you what devastating effects it can have. I'm in a better place now and endeavour to do more to help myself. Just wanted to let you know that I was having a 'bad ear' day and becoming somewhat discouraged and impatient about my recovery. (Perhaps it was seeing all those people on a lovely summer day riding their motorcycles; something I did for 12 years and something that gave me great joy but have set aside until the T is at a lower level). In any event, I watch your video on tinnitus and impatience -- it helped me to put things in perspective and to become much calmer. This video as well was a great reminder that it doesn't have to be complicated -- just need to be patient and practice those things that are enjoyable. Again, thank you; I find your messages to be very helpful, Theresa
You are an angel Julian, love you and thank you!
amazing! I am really appreciating your thoughts & ideas, you give me hope! Thank you!!
Thank you for this wonderful video, Julian, and for all your videos. What a wonderful friend you are to those who have had tinnitus, and who presently have it. I too began my healing with baths and spa. I began going to the gym for the sauna. I had always loved the dry sauna, loved high heat, and for me I knew it would be relaxing. I also at home would take lavender baths with quiet music that I enjoyed, and would watch movies that I loved - life affirming, happy, light-hearted ones, and I would also listen to music I loved, sing, and dance as well. This all began the new turn or path I took, with the awakening that began that this was not some "problem" that needed solving r something to be scared of, but simply a reminder that my body and my life was out of balance and I had far too much unhappiness, worry and stress in my life.
Thank you so much Julian, your advice is so precious to me and I believe many other people concerned with this topic. There is definitely hope and true perspective for healing :) Wish you all the very best!
Thank you...You are amazing & the one person that’s has helped me..I just wanted to let u know that u r a beautiful person & Thank you ... ❤️
Listening to you calms my Tinnitus - Thank you Julian
Thank you!
thank you
Zazen, Zen meditation has helped me clear my mind. Allowing me to relax.
Hi Julian! I just came across your channel today and have watched a few of your videos and it gives me hope to know that there's a way we can keep our stress levels down to calm the tinitus. I just recently joined a yoga class and have learned to tune down the stress and refocus on a more nourishing midset. Thank you for the time you spend on bringing all of these techniques to us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This very informative ❤❤❤
I'm used to call it "HEARmagination", a mashup of both the auditory and visual world that goes on in your head and can be controlled. 4:3 format TV static and experience which builds in the white noise of black an white dots. Like Ants and then getting into some kind of 3_D visuals. Soothing. Love your videos.
This is no news for some of “us” having this condition. But this information should be more quick available for tinnitus sufferers. As a extention to this info, i would recomment the book: Tinnitus retraining therapy, it can help to get in the right mindset. Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much! You are a handsome man! Your techniques help me a lot. And I am happy that such kind of persons like you exist.
Thank you very much for your videos Julian I wish I could book an appointment with you!
You can. Please get in touch here: info@juliancowanhill.co.uk Speak soon! Julian

Thanks @Julian Cowan, I have developed T about two weeks ago, and I was so scared although all your videos are very insightful and are helping me a lot.
How are you today?
That's the man
Julian you really need more views on your videos. I find these videos to be extremely helpful.
Thank YOU!
A pleasure. Hope you start feeling the benefit. All the best to you.
Julian
Thank you every so kindly for your videos; they are truly helpful and you have such a lovely way of communicating advice.
Thanks for your feedback. Wishing you a steady recovery. Warm regards Julian
Such wonderful advice, thank you, going to try this, really suffering getting to sleep at the moment, diagnosed with tinnitus a few weeks ago
Me too :(
Julian i love weights lifting do lots cardiovascular exercises i can't get with yoga but I medation alot think it help me very much what can I add to that will help i will appreciate it thank u
is that true for sound damaged ears
People are so afraid by the thought of this unending noise; that’s just not how it is. There is a noise, but it can be moved backwards in terms of importance. Through relaxation and habituation it really can be of less importance. Chilling about it is the secret.
When you first get it, the anxiety can be horrible, but trust me, you’ll get their, just give it some time.
thanks for positive comment Slashley...i have recently developed T...I still do not know why, but all these resources are helping me through
@@juangomezruiz I know it’s not nice, in fact it can be extremely bothersome for some and at times it has been for me but u’d be amazed at how the brain can shift its importance to the.Bottom of the list. Yours may go away, it may not but it’s not something you should be afraid of.
What do you think of the wim hoff breathing method and its effects on the ears. I use it alot and it makes the ears whistle on the rapid in breaths and then dissipates on the breath hold after a minute or so. Is this damaging the ears Julian
You have this magic, that by listening and applying those things you have said, help me a lot not to notice the crickets in my brain..i wish it will be gone forever!!
hello, i have crickets too. do you sleep well,still? what was your cause?
@@BisayaShortFilms I have crickets too.. it's been driving me into pure depression and loss of ability to play music
great video I will be doin this 24/7 thank you
have been doing this one Karl db ?
my tinnitus was due to a chiropractor adjustment, do you think if i can learn to regulate and let go of m stress it will be the same and habituate? mine has to be down to muscles and nerves spasms, is it worth trying to reline my spine again?
Have you had any experience with the Scenar device?
Hi what is your book called? 🌺
Thank you so much Julian. I love all your positive videos. I bought you book tinnitus:tyrant to friend and am going to purchase success story. I have also enlistment to you CD especially clench and relax. Love it. When I feel desperate I open your book to read or watch your videos and always feel better.. I too am a psychotherapist and specialize in CBT, and mindfulness however I was struggling with tinnitus. I will continue to move forward thanks to your positive messages of hope.
Really glad it is helping you. Stay on track with looking after yourself and the prognosis becomes really good.
Warm regards Julian
Hi Mr. Hill. First of all, I wanted to say that I really appreciate your efforts in helping people with tinnitus and to give hope to a situation that seems hopeless with no solution. Everything you read or are told about this condition is negative. I have suffered with a Morton's Nueroma in the past, another debilitating "chronic" condition that I would have for the rest of my life and only worsen with time, however I was able to reverse it and it is a thing of the past. I was hoping to have the same experience with tinnitus and your videos give me hope that this is possible. My question is whether or not flying can affect tinnitus and any advice you may have on this. We love to travel and I am hoping that this will not have adverse affects. Thanks!
Anything that you enjoy and relaxes you and takes your mind off tinnitus is good for tinnitus. If you love flying and travelling this is good for tinnitus. The worst thing we can do is stew in tinnitus and sit with it home alone and freaking out! So getting out having fun taking the mind off it is very helpful. If you enjoy flying, then then it should be fine - even beneficial. If you have a bad cold the change in pressure can bring temporary discomfort or activation but this should back off when the cold does. Enjoy!
Makes sense. I suppose this would apply to my eating habits as well. I have always been a "foodie". Exploring different foods and eating good food has always been such a big source of enjoyment to me. The majority of the time I eat a healthy, clean diet and rarely consume alcohol or caffeine. However, when we are on vacation or have a date night or a social event we have always just eaten what we wanted and enjoyed the experience. Now I am trying to balance not stressing out about what I eat and trying to enjoy this like I have in the past with trying to be somewhat responsible and not consuming things that apparently spike the T. Any thoughts?
Julian you are helping me so much what fruit can I eat thanks to help me
A pleasure. If you look after yourself and get support it is bound to back off.
Try these techniques

One question, I love playing my saxophone but will that hurt my ears even more and worsen or start tinnitus?
How do you do gentle things if your tinnitus is high?
For me it only goes away when I chew or eat .. especially if I chew on cold ice ....
do you think your suggestions would work for constant tinnitus caused from ototoxic drugs
Yes, it is the same central nervous system that reacts to drugs, physical trauma, loud noise exposure. I haven't found a singly etiology of tinnitus that doesn't respond to treatment.
Volume very low pliz thi timitus wont let me hear poropery
Dear Julian, what can i do when my tinnitus changed or at least my perception of it? i have had it for a few years where it did not really affect me, but today it is distracting me since some time again. hope you might answere, Lukas
How are you today?
Hello Mister Hill,
Could you clear out : don't you really have any tinnitus anymore ? Isn't it just the habituation ? And most of all, did you have any hearing loss stated ? What was the trigger for your T ? Hoping to read from you. Best wishes.
No. I don't have tinnitus anymore. I have gone way past habituation. I have severe hearing loss in my right ear and moderate in my left ear. Stress, candida and then loud noise exposure all contributed to my tinnitus sticking around. You can read my story on my website www.cst.eu.com where there are suggestions on what helped me let go of tinnitus and what may help you too. Good luck with it all. Best wishes Julian
Julian Cowan Hill s
My tinnitus gets worse with exercise which is dreadful as I have trained my whole life . I had an inner ear trauma from diving 8 weeks ago where I lost my hearing which is permanent. Since then, I have extreme tinnitus in left ear and now mildly in the ear that is still functioning. Exercise also makes my vertigo worse, which seems paradoxical as its suggested to exercise regularly to help it?? Thoughts please
Maybe you need more calming activity then, not anything cardiovascular. Maybe you need a while off from vigorous exercise, in order to let your nervous system calm down. Have you tried relaxing massage, and cranio-sacral bodywork? Have you eliminated stress triggers in your life, and stimulating foods and substances like hot peppers, caffeine, etc?
There is also acupressure, or acupuncture. If you have not had acupuncture before, I would recommend relaxing massage first, then moving on to acupressure massage, which is done clothed, and then, maybe acupuncture, if you feel it might help you. It seems like your tinnitus was made worse by your injury, and that your body is still in a high-stress state as a result. Anything that calms you can help reduce this.
How severe is your unilateral hearing loss? See if your hearing is helped by hearing aid or cochear implant (if profound). You could use frequency matched tinnitus masking on the Normal ear, which can help with habituation, if cannot use it on the affected ear.
just be patient friend ...and follow rowling sir ...
we will get well soon
tried swimming? or ear crystal exercises for disseyness?
How do you even start doing lovely things when you have tinnitus? Having a lovely bath with screeching in your head? Please advise.
I’ve recently got it and I find what helps me is being distracted. Finding something that really engages your focus.
I like the woman’s voice
I have a few questions:
Is your tinnitus all the way gone like 100% ? Or did you get use to it? also one more question do you believe they're natural ways to get rid of tinnitus/ or habituated to it quickly?
Its gone completely. It just comes back when I get a bad cold but then goes away again.
Yes. What I share is having craniosacral therapy to destress the system and release the charge of tinnitus and taking up a body-based practice like yoga or tai chi to shift the attention off tinnitus (like a masker) and bring you out of fight or flight -ie out of fear so the adrenaline levels drop and your hearing stops listening out acutely to the sound of the nervous system. This is a natural way of turning the tinnitus down or off.
+Julian Cowan Hill Wow, so cool you mentioned craniosacral therapy! I literally just started with it last week. My sounds seems to have the cause of some problems with the jaw. Do you think it's possible to get rid of the sound if the jaw comes back into place?
what percentage of your patients have complete remission, great reduction, some reduction, no help? I'm starting cranial sacral on Wednesday in NY.
The last time I looked at the stats this is what I found:
In 2013 Julian took on 21 new clients with tinnitus.
2 clients reported that the tinnitus stopped after one session.
8 clients experienced tinnitus becoming significantly quieter during some of their sessions.
4 clients said their tinnitus became significantly quieter in EVERY cranial session.
14 clients said that their tinnitus was overall significantly better after a course of craniosacral therapy.
4 clients reported no improvement with tinnitus, but found the sessions relaxing and beneficial in other ways.
The average number of sessions attended by this group was 5.
thanks for the prompt response. seems like 2/3 people get some improvement by those stats.
Hi Julian , any experience with non stop crackling and popping noise in ears ? It just does not go away at all
The noises are there all the time and are completely normal. At the moment your hearing sensitivity is up and so you are noticing them a lot more. Coming out of fight or flight and feeling safe, calm and relaxed will help this hypersensitive phase you are going through settle and normalise. Practice the techniques on my app and watch more explanations to help you get there. www.quietenapp.com Best wishes Julian
interesting videos but the volume level is really low and struggle to hear it. Not my hearing = it is the level of volume that the videos were recorded at............can anything be done about the volume please cos it is ruined by the low volume. Cant hear the interviewers questions at all and can barely hear Julian's response.....
you sure?
you can click CC for subtitles
is it normal to have problems with my tinnitus. I get good days and horrible days. it's been 7 months I have tinnitus
How are you with your tinnitus now?
hello jullian i am from india and suffering from tinnitus from last 5days its disturb my life lot....according to you how much time its take to rid from tinnitus by body base practice
It will get better in time. Watch all of Julian's videos, which are full of so much helpful information to guide you through this. It can get better! You may need to give it a bit of time, but please do watch the videos.
I m too from india , I am suffering from one month, is that cured now?
@@bhagavatha5964 how are you now brother

I have tinnitus for 3 years and it's ringing what can I do to help in stressed out alot
Have a relaxing life style, healthy diet, exercise, do hobbies, spend time with family and good friends, and sleep
Pls updated hindi sub titali in your vedio
Hi Julian I am 32 years old and I have tinnitus which really annoys me, it was fade and low three years back but it started becoming severe and now from past few months its really noticeable like I can hear that annoying sound even with fans on and in a noisy place, its like a ghost that haunts me everywhere all the time. As far as I can tell its due to my stressful life and environment, I am very emotional I get stressed out easily I cry immediately and I get angry and loser my temper in a second, so I am a wreck a total emotional mess. I have tinnitus from my early teen years but it was very minor back then. My brother is 26 and he told me he also started to have a bit of this condition, but then again we both live with very difficult parents in a constant depressive and aggressive and very negative environment from which we can not escape. So please help me with this , if you know any tips regarding my situation. I have noticed increased tinnitus has decreased my ability to concentrate and imaginate.
Sorry to hear you are living in a stressful environment. I hope you and your brother can find your own place to live and establish your basic right as a human being to live in peace and in a way that suits you. What is stopping you from finding your own place? You do not have to live with parents, especially if they are stressing you out? Not having to listen to stressful crap will help your tinnitus settle. Having body-based soothing therapy like craniosacral therapy will help your nervous system settle. You really should aim for feeling safe, calm and comfortable in yourself and in your environment. The more you feel safe and comfortable the more the auditory system will stop sounding the alarm bells and go quiet. Wishing you and your brother independence, choice, freedom and peace. All the best to you. Julian
How you now
No news. Good advice. No Twitter or Facebook either lol.
I'm afraid I'm someone who dislikes Facebook. It is like taking off the top of your head and sticking into 100 other people's head and hearing their thoughts with no off switch. Feel free to contact me on julian@cst.eu.com and I will get back to you quickly. Best wishes Julian
Julian Cowan Hill That’s very much how I feel about Facebook! I gave up on it after a short trial. It’s like allowing everybody to march through your home campaigning with their political banners held up, just too much of other people’s head stuff!
@@JulianCowanHill Can I contact you pls? How? Thanks.
Please contact me at info@julianCowanHill.co.uk thanks
Luckily for you, you had a static, non-reactive tinnitus, otherwise you would hardly be able to jump into the pool and feel better... but what should those with reactive tinnitus do?
Not so. My tinnitus was so reactive that a knife dropping on the sideboard caused me to wince in pain and judder for minutes. I had the sound of a doorbell ringing in my mind for hours. I felt like C3PO the robot and with every movement my tinnitus changed its tune. The pool helped me because it caused me to relax and changed the focus from my at the time deafening sound. It was so loud I couldn't hear the phone ring. Find what helps you relax and switch off and do regular practice like the techniques on my app www.quietenapp.com Click on the matrix button and then the red banner and you will find many practices and techniques there. I hope they help. I strongly recommend finding a good body-worker who can help relax you and go at least once a week.
@@JulianCowanHill I wanted to come to you for an appointment, but I live in a small country, Moldova, far from you. Maybe you know a specialist in Moldova-Chisinau? I have reactive tinitus that changes with almost all sounds, it affects both ears, it’s most likely forever... The trouble is that the sounds are ultra-high frequency, very high.
I find my tinnitus is there mostly when I think about it.
Mine sounds like something off the endless river
I have had tinnitus(a loud screech) for many years, i have a distractor in my ear playing white noise, i also have my laptop open.my tv on and and using my desktop now. I find this distraction can help. I find the pillow I was given by the tinnitus clinic very helpful - it plays music or sounds - it does help me sleep. I'll try the relaxation technique when I go to bed tonight. I honestly don't believe there is a cure - mine started when my husband had severe depression - he was very angry and i was the punchbag (not literally) but verbally - he is fine now but I have the scars. Anyway good luck everybody - suffering quite a bit today even with everything on - but there are worse illnesses around and I have to count myself lucky I suppose. xx
Maybe good to have therapy to process the overwhelm you experienced when your husband had depression. Think of tinnitus as having an overloaded nervous system. Learn to lighten the load and get support and things are very likely to improve. You could look at the British Association of Craniosacral Therapists: www.craniosacral.co.uk or go to ACPP for Core Process Psychotherapists. Good luck with it all. Julian
Thank you Julian
gail gordon I am happy viewing this video very great though especially it shares a lot of infos about this tathagata meditation center. I also found out that we can learn something at Renshoov Tinnitus Expert. Find it in google as soon as now.
How is your tinnitus now if u plz answer
Full on this morning, and very loud. I live with it
More research and funding needs to put into tinnitus cures and study and with people like Julian at the center of it actually helping people and not making people feel like the only way to escape this never ending bad dream is suicide or losing your mind. this man and Liam need to be given massive amounts of recourses by the governments to help cure people because this disease is no joke and is absolutely horrific and nobody deserves something like this!!
Thank you very much kind sir. I'm 19 and my doctor told me just today that I can't cure my tinnitus and will have to live with it for the rest of my life. I found your videos and you are helping me not to cure tinnitus, but not to develop it on the first place! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES
