Do you really need 15 minutes to make 5 points?
I have tinitus for around 2 years now.At the start it was hell, panic attacks and depression for around six months. Its funny but now it doesnt bother me AT ALL. It exists but the body doesnt go fight or flight mode. I know its hard but it mostly needs time, whether it goes away or not. The first year will always be difficult, youll need to find ways around it. I used a fan , the ac or tinitus masking sounds from youtube to sleep for about 1 year.
Thanks for sharing, Thanasis. :)
1. Use soothing sound therapy 2. Release fight-flight response 3. Calm your tension, stress, anxiety 4. Let go of negative thinking patterns 5. Daily practices to shift your attention away from it
Tinnitus ... Neck Issue, Computer Posture Problem solved: czcams.com/video/_auFipF4HvA/video.html
honestly it's the anxiety that comes with this that's the worst, not the sound itself. thanks for the help!
@@misomoon I've got it too. Will keep you posted. It my be physical, ear, nose,throat even teeth/gum issues. Apparently it's nerve and back/shoulder muscle tightness, which i have also. This too will pass ...
@@musicpipe hey it's nice to know someone out there feels my pain...im having trouble sleeping rn. hopefully this gets better somehow, whether i get used to it or i get treated for its underlying condition. thanks sm just for responding honestly. means a lot to me.
@@misomoon Breathe Deeply until you fall asleep. I find putting on small mobile earphones in bed and listening to the rosary on youtube usually results in a sound 8Hrs sleep. Will update you when my Tinnitus is resloved, good luck.
I truly appreciate the calming, reassuring tone of this video. I already feel better about my options ... as long as I can decrease the volume, I'll be fine.

Hi what sound therapy are you on im on tinnitus desensitisation therapy on my second week as your tinnitus any better now??
Medicine must find a cure for this. Not habituation, the cure.
Why not both. Learning to live with it does help. Diet , meditation, cold showers, amd being kind is the best cure for now.
@@lymanleslie3097 You can say that for any chronic disease that will not kill you
@@lymanleslie3097 Not everyone is able to habituate, I habituated to my T, but last year is got SIGNIFICANTLY worse. My T is extremely severe now, not possible to habituate. We need a cure, or at least something to reduce the volume!
Fucking Tinnitus retraining therapy held back tinnitus research for atleast a decade.
@@vim92 How did it get worse?
I got food poisoning which caused my blood pressure to reach a dangerous level and ever since my right ear has tinnitus. It's been a lil more than a month and I'm still in disbelief this is a condition people just live with. I pray for everyone here May God have mercy.
I’ve been stressed lately, there’s a lot of family health issues going and a recent passing, so my tinnitus spiked. It came outta no where, so I didn’t realize it was directly linked to my anxiety. Once I realized it was, I started doing yoga, getting outside more on really nice days, and sleeping better. Doing more things that I enjoy too, while taking breaks before I get too stressed. I feel way better now 🙏🏾
So after relaxing and yoga have it affected the tinnitus?
I have been stressed a bit about exams and some health issue and felt like a walking anxiety bomb and i also just got ringing in my ear recently outta nowhere... Pls tell me ur Condition with Yoga and relaxation
@Born Free yes this too!!
Same ... I was just actually planning to do yoga and have a better sleeping schedule too the day before yesterday, but now I'm one of the family members who's sick.. Next week there would be 73 modules with 5 activities in it, 3rd summative test (10 subjects)with the coverage of module 5 and 6 ,84 performance tasks (=167 requirements) that I have to pass on Thursday because that's the DEADLINE +I also just had my 2nd summative test last last week... I am 15 years old btw... I know no one asked for this but It feels so safe and peaceful
here... I actually got anxious after finding out that what I've been experiencing is a symptom...
Base on the article that I just finished reading , one of the common tests that doctors would examine that would help us identify the cause of our tinnitus is having a lab test...(Lab tests. Your doctor may draw blood to check for anemia, thyroid problems, heart disease or vitamin deficiencies. ) and I actually don't think I still have to .... because out of all the tests that I ever did ... that was the most common thing to me... I am anemic and While I have a fever rn ... and I'm stressing over things that I really think is normal to be stressed about ....I am losing a lot of blood because I'm on my period rn-- uh isn't this too much?
I hope I don't make anyone feel uncomfortable..... I said it because just like what I've said I am anemic and Having period 2x in a month is really something that is so hard to deal with .... especially rn.... like... Even before I got my first period I already had anemia and knowing that one health effect for more frequent bleeding is anemia....
I still can't accept that I have so many health issues 😭 Most adults that I talked with before said that I am like an old soul inside a little girl's body, whether It's about the way I talk, think, act or the way I dress but Ig my body is getting too weak so early too...
Someone said that all of us will spend half of our life being old and there's only 18-30 years to feel young but I why do I feel like a parent to my parents emotionally.... the moment that I turned 13.... Ugh I'm over sharing so I'll stop by saying I hope you are doing well now or aleast feel a little better....
Awesome, i hear you . Best of luck with it 👍
This is true of my experience just lately. I have had tinnitus for 18 yes. My tinnitus has spiked so trying to get destressed and hopefully in time this will settle again.
Wonderful morning therapy for me is reading my bible. Throughout the rest of the day I focus on God and prayer to achieve a more purposeful life and calmness.
I agree with all 5 points. I still struggle with the fight or flight response,; anxiety too.
Hey Felicia Rizeq, thank you for the comment. We hope you keep exploring what works best for you.
I've had tinitus for about 5 years now, not gonna lie I've had bad periods especially at the start. But following a lot of things you've also mentioned have really helped me almost forget about the tinitus and I've had long periods where I didn't even notice it, could fall asleep without any help without noticing the tinitus.
A lot of things you mentioned in this video have also helped me get to that point. I've sadly had a minor setback after expore to some loud noise but always staying postive and above the negative sounds to get back to where I was.
I wish everyone goodluck with their beep! You got this 😉
Wesley did you use in ear generators to help with the noise
Did your tinnitus fall back to base line now?
I've never thought about the psychological aspect of tinnitus. But as soon as you brought it up and I was like telling myself breathe calm down the ringing in my ears went down in volume noticeably. Thank you for pointing out psychological stimuli effect can influence tinnitus
This is a great video, I've been experiencing a real spike in my tinnitus and it makes me more anxious. Sound therapy is okay but do using it all the time stresses me out.
At age 70, I have had tinnitus for 30 years or more. When it first appeared, it drove me crazy. The ear doctor had no suggestions for decreasing or eliminating it. Pre-Internet...there were no random sources of info. Finally...I just gave up...shrugged...got on with life...enjoyed the day. Surprisingly, it faded into the background...still there...but ignored. I quit attending to it, and it seemed like it was gone...until I gave it my attention. This is the first day of researching ways to possibly reduce or eliminate it. Thus...surprisingly, tinnitus has reappeared as an annoyance. Your suggestions here make me realize that the Big Shrug was working fine. :) Am open to a physical "cure," but not at the cost of thinking about my hearing all of the time. Thanks for your great channel. My husband is getting hearing aids, and we appreciate all of your info re "all things hearing."
Love this guy best place I like to go for my tinnitus hands down for me no one better 🙏🏼💆🏻♂️🕊
Been dealing with a "light" tinnitus for several months now, it's a constant noise in my left ear, luckily it's not sharp or too loud to fall asleep with. I'm okay with having it since it doesn't bother me a lot but i have a lot of fear of it getting worse, I've had a few situations were the sound became worse and every time i start panicking :(
Im in the same situation right now... But I think it might be effecting my concentration.
Mine sometimes alternates to the right ear, but I have similar symptoms as yours. I'm about three weeks having it. I'm also having mild vertigo and feeling of ear swolleness so maybe I have the Meniere's disease 😭...wish you all on a quick and smooth recovery!!
@@baukje3365 Thanks Dr ITUA for curing my tinnitus and hearing loss, indeed I am grateful. Thanks so much

dont worry bro those are just tinnitus spikes its your brain i have them all the time just dont panic man
@@sophiec1949 same!! but mine wasn't menere's disease, I have cervical neck issues. I had an MRI scan and it showed that my neck is starting to look bad.. I was told to go physiotherapy which helped but now I'm overseas cuz my uni started :( and i dont have insurance in the country i live in ughh!! when im stressed or wtvr i noticed my vertigo gets triggered which is annoying but i believe there's cure! but its annoying how they didnt discover any cure for this even tho its been there for so long? like wtf? but i hope you're doing better now
What an excellent video, Ben! I had tinnitus for several months now, and I've been dealing with anxiety and depression with it to the extent that it's making me physically sick. I've just started using sound therapy, so I'm hopeful that it will help. I'm also going to start CBT as well. I walk for 30 min. in the morning, and 30 min. in the evening. The outdoor sounds while I'm walking do mask the tinnitus, which I enjoy. I think the toughest part for me was accepting the fact that I may have this for the rest of my life. At 62 years old, I've had good use of my ears, so far. Never had any issues, so I can't complain. It is nice to see there are treatments and support groups out there that can help. Take care of your ears, people!

Number 3 and 4 hit home with me really really hard, especially number 4. 100% released some of my fear and tears about tinnitus listening to this
Thank you for all you do for this. I am an ICU nurse so my anxiety level is off the chain. I also have worked night shift for the last 38 yrs. Tinnitus is new to me, maybe a month, I had a panic attack last night at work. The hopelessness...I have hearing loss also and will be seeing about some hearing aids. I am using Bose sleep buds that are helping. Again, thank you.
You're so welcome! Be well.
Look up Julian Cowan hill on CZcams also
What worked for my was the video below and focusing on the rhythm and picturing myself there h0ttps://czcams.com/video/xVXqlGxdPRA/video.html
The rain stuff didn't do much nor did simple white noise or binural beats or hypnosis. This seemed to do the trick after 10mins or so i'd be knocked out like a baby if done with real focus for me it did more then just mask the ringing
How are you now? Feeling better?
@@platogenova9573 Than you for asking. I have since just retired from that stressful job. I still have tinnitus but, I am trying to habituate the best I can. I did try hearing aids and while my hearing was better they really did not change my tinnitus. I will keep working on it. Thank you again for reaching out.
My ears just started ringing in august after I got over covid and it hasn’t stopped since. I’ve been struggling so bad, I just want it to stop
You have to learn to live with it. It will never stop until you accept it.
I started having Tinnitus a month ago. Nothing seems to work until I find your videos. I use the cricket 10 hours sound therapy on your channel and try to practice all 5 points. It is working really well. Going out on a walk seems to best suit me. Thank you very much Dr. Ben for helping us and giving us hope :)

Hi. Did you tinnitus stop?? I have had tinnitus for 2 months.. I am desperate
Hi. Did you tinnitus stop?? I have had tinnitus for 2 months.. I am desperate
How is ur tinnitus now
This is so educational thanks for making this. I want to support people who has Timnitis. Some things I want to share about my ears is I am sensitive to noises, my ears hurting from headphones and earbuds so they need to be comfortable. Recently I had a doctors appointment and the person pointed out looks like I had an ear infection when it’s the cotton swabs, which I told my mom to stop using cotton swabs, so what I did differently is clean the outside of my ears in the shower, and dry them.
I have stress and trauma triggers too as well. I have medical conditions including diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, and asthma, and sleep conditions I have insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea, so the reason why is my medical conditions. I have mosaic Down syndrome and I think as if they’re connected to my medical conditions, and sleep conditions. I still struggle with noises and my ears feeling uncomfortable or they hurt. The positives is that I am already taking control of my health and overall well being.
You're so welcome! Thank you for the support. :)
This is so true as long as there is a noise distraction my tinnitus is inaudible whether indoors or outdoors the louder the distraction the better
Awesome. Thanks for sharing, Anna!
Thank you! Very clear and compassionate approach here. I am glad to have the reminder about negative thinking. I live with 4 autoimmune illnesses, chronic pain and for 5 years: tinnitus. This has helped me feel connected to the possibility of healing.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! We're grateful to hear that our video resonated with you and provided a clear and compassionate approach to managing tinnitus. It's incredibly inspiring to see how you continue to navigate through challenges with such resilience.
Remembering to address negative thinking can indeed be a powerful tool in the journey toward healing and well-being. We're honored to have played a part in helping you feel connected to the possibility of healing. Your strength and determination are truly admirable.
This man appears to really care and perhaps somewhat understanding to those suffering
I hope he continues to make videos and perhaps explores the world of herbs and supplements that do or don’t have any effect whatsoever as I’m certain many reading this message of mind have tried the shelves empty looking for that magic supplement of herb
Thank you
Dr. Thompson, you have such wonderful way about you, and I agree that folks can and should do all we can to help ourselves. I must also say that it is frustrating beyond belief that the medical community has not stepped up to find an actual cure for this horrible condition. So many amazing things have been accomplished in the medical field, I think if focus was put on real treatment, and not “meditating the pain away”, we could have a cure.
Hey Bev, i just did a video on how i beat Tinnitus using only Sound Therapy. If you want you can give it a check :)
Thank you for speaking softly, my ears frequently hurt with people's voices. Even with my voice. Thank you!
I found your tone of voice really soothing, so much more relaxing, and very informative. Others just irritate me and give me anxiety.!
Hi Jacqueline. I'm very happy you you think that way. I appreciate your comment!
Thanks Dr ITUA for curing my tinnitus and hearing loss, indeed I am grateful. Thanks so much

@Jeffrey Hinkel there is a cure
I find myself getting of track and I listen to this podcast and it puts me back on track because u need to be reminded of these points and reassured , thank you, you have a very caring and calming effect Dr Ben, cheers
You're welcome. I'm so glad that it helps you.
This is wonderful advice. Suffering nearly 40 years of cochlear damage based high pitched ringing. Mine has been a complicated journey, but I have never been made aware of the potential benefits of meditation. My only advice from my high dollar ENT, “try sound therapy”, I was given no advice on what sounds to try and at what level. I won’t go on anymore except to say thank you for being here to help.
Dear sir, my tinnitus has just now reduced palpably (5-2), simply as I absorb your ideas. This is a personal fact. Sir, you are a Champion. SUBSCRIBED. Please continue!

Hey everyone. If you have an iPhone/iPad, iOS 15 came with background noises built in and you can adjust their volume and play them behind any media you’re watching as well. I’ve found that the settings “balanced” and “bright noise” REALLY help a lot, especially when I’m trying to sleep. Hope this can help somebody.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing, Felix!
@@treblehealth No, thank _you_ for sharing. Your videos have been a big help in managing tinnitus for me. Your work is very much appreciated! 💪🏽
I'm wondering how much the increase of noise frequencies in our environments effect this; wifi, smart meters , cell towers etc. This just started for me over the past year and initially questioned if I was imagining it. Then wondered if I had a water leak in the house. Then started wondering if it could be the smart meter but so far I'm the only one that hears it. It will keep me awake or wake me out of a sound sleep.
When mine started it was around the time they introduced 5G. I swore that’s what it was. Still not convinced it’s not.
Excellent explanation Doctor Ben, thanks!
I'm not a healthcare professional, but I perceive my tinnitus as a symptom of something bigger going on in my body. In this way, I found useful deflate the body, supplementing certain substances to help me control my mood, stress and anxiety, promoting sleep quality too, such as melatonin, among others.
Simply supplementing digestive enzymes and lactobacilli can help the body balance inflammation and, as a consequence, all tinnitus-related symptoms.
I'm still using the techniques you discussed, associated with biochemical strengthening, and I can say that I have hardly noticed tinnitus lately.
Awesome. Thank you for sharing your journey, Eng. Hélio. Be well.
Ent.Helio Medeiros do you use in ear generators if so how long do you listen to the noise?
Just wanted to say Thank you as after listening to your explanation I feel more relaxed.
I'm 66 and have suffered the past 4 years with tinnitus and was managing through nightly meditation until 2 nights ago I woke at 2.30am and it was loud and started to stress me to the extent of my body shaking and feeling nausea.
I have not slept the past 2 nights and struggled even with meditation. I have hearing aids prescribed by the hospital as im missing high tones and they help to mask the high pitched tone from tinnitus but no good for wearing in bed.
But listening to your video I understand why I feel this anxiety.
Thank you Ben
Hey Joe, thank you for your comment. Really appreciate it. Glad it was helpful. Be well and stay safe.
@@treblehealth Hi Ben, can I ask does sinus contribute to tinnitus? I have noticed that the past 3 days my sinus has been bad and in the morning my nasal passages are extremely dry. My ears feel like they are blocked. And my head aches at the temples and base of skull. Thank you again 💓 kind regards Joe

I enjoyed and much needed this video. It has been 1 year since my tinnitus appeared. After about 5 months I seemed like I could manage my tinnitus. After listening to your video Dr. Ben I am definitely thinking I am in that "gap".
Today I will try and refocus and calm myself down as my tinnitus has excelerated to a higher sound than 1 year ago. Thanks for the video. I will rewatch it to keep me on path.
Glad it was helpful! You're very much welcome.
Run several air purifiers in your house and at the office. Others are fans, heaters, white noise machines, music, ocean sounds machine, or one of the 100s of ten hour no ads sleep videos on CZcams. I like rain with rolling thunder.
If like me you have anxiety induced tinnitus, look into your meds. I have an anxiety disorder ane developed tinnitus. I started taking a small does of xanax for panic attack as my tinnitus is almost gone completely in a few days. The low side is it makes you so sleepy but tinnitus was ruining my life. And I would choose tiredness every day x
Number 3 makes perfect sense, playing my Ukulele is my main Therapy and I also use listening device for watching tv, absolutely helps and at time is necessary. Also, when I'm out like I play softball twice a week is verry helpful, or almost anything out of the house, nights are the worst.
Thank you to Ben for dedicating his time to this topic……I have the jet plane tinnitus..always there. Never changes.. Early on, after I saw somewhere that I wasn’t going to go crazy, or get dementia, etc, etc…I relaxed and went into habituation without me realizing that I was doing it. Never heard of the word nor this site at the time. I still hear the sounds when I listen, but my life goes on now…. No problem sleeping.….trust that you will get there and you will.
Thanks for your comment, annawhite. Also, thank you for sharing your journey and I'm so happy that you are habituating. Be well!
Annawhite how long did it take for you to habituate?
@@cathy9814 I can’t say exactly because it just happened. The noise was so loud and since I was’t really concentrating on habituating….at the time I had never heard of the word or seen any videos…and …it just happened. Maybe that is the key. Don’t try to do it. Concentrate on other thoughts or sounds. Hope this helps. Good luck.
@@cathy9814 . I think what happened was I was looking into videos on how to fall asleep quickly such as learning to fall asleep in the army in two minutes. Other methods too all putting concentration on something else….I go out like a light now….daytime, there are so many other things to take your mind off of the noise.I only listened a couple of times to sound therapy. More of another pain than help. Sure I hear the tinnitus if I let myself but I don’t. Don’t mind your questions.
@@cathy9814 No…I don’t think that happened. Good luck……
I'm enjoying my tinnitus, tinnitus makes me mentally and emotionally very strong, when I'm in pressure situation I always thinking about my tinnitus, tinnitus is my strength, it's give me power to phase any situation in the world, thank you God for tinnitus, I love tinnitus ♥️♥️
I would probably say for the last two weeks I’ve been hearing slight ringing or buzzing in my ear when I wake up or when’s it’s quiet. And I’m not gonna lie but I’m scared, the majority of my fear comes from will it get worse. But also the negative thoughts of will my life ever be the same. After watching this video it really helped me and I feel like I’m entering in a whole different perspective of the world.
Excellent. Glad it helps! Be well, Mario!
Thanks for the video my right ear has been ringing since may of 2021 1 been listening to a sound box at night but. The tinnitus get louder after a couple of hours.
Great stuff Ben. It is really difficult to help people work out of a high anxiety state but I think it can be done. For me the whole elimination of negative statements, thoughts and other influences was the key to my success. Get up each morning and write three things you are thankful for. Get out of bed and give yourself affirmations. Get moving and engage in those daily practices.
Thank you doc for your calmness and your sensitivity. I shall be doing those points you mentioned...Didn't know it was related to anxiety
I've had tinnitus 12 years but learned to deal with it after year or two. Past few weeks its been very loud and back to my thoughts constantly, mainly triggered due tdcs depression therapy i think. Anyway watching this video really did help alot to put my mind to ease and reminded me of things that already helped me in a past. All of the 5 tips are pure gold, thank you kind sir with calm voice and topnotch knowledge of the tinnitus topic. 🙏

Ben thanks for your video. I Have been living with tinnitus for as long as I remember. Most likely started started when I was a jet engine mechanic in the Navy back in the 80's. I was very mild and manageable till last month. Now I need help. Sound therapy does help. I sleep to rain. I'm looking into hearing aides with tinnitus support because of my mild to moderate loss.
Thank You for the support.

wish i could do sound therapy. i don't have hyperacusis but my tinnitus competes and reacts to most sounds. the only thing i can tolerate is audiobooks, guided meditation - anything except continuous sounds. or anyway, i have yet to find one that doesn't spike my tinnitus!
I've had it for 4 years it's been horrible. has Change my lifestyle and the way I live my life. Have audio hearing aids that help. have a wife with special needs Very stressful does not help. Thanks for the tips we'll be following more .
Best of luck, JR. Be well!
I thought the "sound of silence", like the song/poem, is ringing because I've been hearing ringing in my head for as long as I can remember. As early as 5 years old (I'm 38 now). I can't imagine how awesome it is for people who've never had it. Lucky ducks.
My Son talks about the pain also being real and grows! I have not heard You Specialists talk about the pain side of it! Thank You!!
I've honestly had tinnitus my whole life. When I was younger and expressed that I'm always hearing ringing my parents and other adults would just flat out tell me I was lying so I learnt to deal with it just always having something like music in the back ground. I learned about tinnitus about a year ago I believe? But I still don't know much at all so watching this it really REALLY hits a lot of things that just click as "oh....so THAT'S why x happens or I do x thing". So thank you, this has helped me start trying to figure out how to have better relief with my tinnitus TwT

Great to hear! Thanks for your comment.
I have three kinds of sound in my head. I'm 68years old and got this for a year now. My doctor prescribed me B12 but still didn't help. At first it worries me but after listening and watching a lot of videos on CZcams, the stress gradually wear off. The sounds are still there but well got to live with it I guess. Thanks alot everybody here.
Glad to hear that you are doing better, Alang. Thanks for sharing. Be well. :)
I started with tinnitus a month ago.. with be signing up with Treble Health soon. Everything in this video resonates.. I never realized how much anxiety I have until this happened to me. I’m hoping to triumph over this soon!
I feel your pain.
I got this bitch about 5 days ago and I feel like it is better to die than living 40 years like this.
I found that learning to play a musical instrument has helped me a lot. Not only the sound of the instrument diminishing the volume of tinnitus but also training my attention on learning and playing the guitar keeps my mind occupied with a positive focal point. Someone recently gave me an old keyboard and I find the same principles apply when trying to figure out the chords and keyboard techniques. No teachers, just hands on and mental attention and an occasional pointer from CZcams. Good luck to all finding a fun way to alleviate the condition. It's very satisfying to be able to play a couple of nice songs on the guitar
I just found your channel and think it will be very helpful. I'm 60 yrs old and the tinnitus started about 3 or 4 yrs ago. I'm sure the stress and anxiety I've been through has brought this on. I try listening to calming sounds and they work sometimes. Funny as I was listening to this video I started drifting off to sleep since your voice is very soothing 🥰
Ben Thompson you are my absolute hero! Found your channel after listening to some binaural beats at work. I love you and am so happy for you. - Jeff

Ben, thank you for making this video. I have high pitch tinnitus & found this to be a good starting point.
You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that the video has been a helpful starting point for managing your high-pitched tinnitus. 💜
Thank you for posting I feel better knowing I can put a plan together to calm my nervous system - I’ve had tinnitus for two weeks and its scary that I will have this for the rest of my life. It’s really a pain but I guess this is my body telling me I have to make some changes with my thoughts and stress which I am now going to do.
Love it. You can do it. Be patient and persistent.
I’ve had it for a week now ! Best of luck ! Keep us updated
As someone who noticed tinnitus few months ago which later turned into a constant loud ringing
I havent panicked about it knew that im screwed and accepted it lol
Excellent reasoning and nice tips to manage one's Tinnitus and the ways to minimize the Tinnitus sufferings. I love to follow your videos. God always bless you with Good Health.
Thanks for appreciating all my videos. Be well.
thanks Dr Thompson I really appreciate professional people like you who really care about people with this problem, I can't really pinpoint how I got it, because there are so many things I was exposed to that could have triggered it
Thank you so much for your teaching I didn't know I had tinnitus until I listened you. I will do what you recomended.

I've had tinnitus for 40 years. 3 months ago developed a new tinnitus in my Right ear, which is 20x louder and deeper, to the point its nearly painful, this week I've developed a new tinnitus in my left ear, also extremely loud but different again. What do I do, I feel the anxiety is starting, I feel like crying. This seems to much to bare. Marie from New Zealand

Hi, how has it been for you lately?
Back to squire one as always but trying and getting better and again falling back.
I suffer from tinnitus. Very educational. Will definitely try some of the therapy that you spoke about. Thank you for info.
Hope that it will help you. Thank you for your comment
Thank you so much for these tips. Coming on 2 years with this I see dealing with stress as the most difficult but the most effective as is masking it with hz frequencies.
You're welcome, Craig. Be well. :)
Kudos to this video … I learned a lot … I am in early stage 2 weeks only after a simple earwax removal ….now I am suffering with tinnitus…everything u said fear, anxiety, sleepless nights and negative thinking of living it for the rest of my life, I don’t even want an ear doctor to touch my ear… but I still thank God I can hear.
My therapy is watching TV…it makes me fall asleep…
Thank you 🙏
Hope everything is well. Glad that the videos are helping
I always listen to Jason Stephenson at night for sleepmeditation. It really helps a lot.
I feel like a new person, my tinnitus which has been constant for over 20 years has now been gone for four days. Over the last six months I have been using reflexology only on the ear reflexes once or twice a day for just a few seconds I use the points on my hand. Press hard on the grooves where your last two fingers join your hands using your other hand to do both grooves at once, this actually reduced the volume of the sound almost immediately for me. Five days a go I felt a random click in my neck and shoulder on the same side as the affected ear and hey bingo tinnitus gone. I think the reflexology enabled the healing process however I have always thought that tinnitus relates more to the neck bones and the nerve connections. I hope my experience can help others to try different therapies so they may find relief.
Awesome. I'm so happy for you Kelly. Thank you for sharing some techniques that you did for your tinnitus!
Within a day of using hearing aids for the first time my tinnitus became much louder and higher pitched. The audiologist tried adding masking sound treatment but this additional extraneous noise was intolerable and disconcerting . So be aware hearing aides could be harmful !
Капец,как щас твое самочувствия?Больше не пользуеся слуховими апаратами?
Exercise is extremely important and just trying to live your life normally regardless of the volume.
Meditation definitely helps 😊
Yes it does! Not for everyone though.
Great video, excellent calm delivery and valuable, actionable advice. Thank you!

Dr Ben,
Just saw your video very helpful it gave me some new ideas to help combat my tinnitus. Stress and anxiety are my worst contributors on a daily basis. I was in a year long study at the University at Buffalo headed by Dr Stocking using habituation it was helpful but after watching your video I realized that I’ve back slide a lot. I will be using your 5 points starting today.
Thank you for the video, I will be following you!
Curt
Thank you for your comment, Curt. Really appreciate it. Glad that the videos have helped you. Thanks for the support. Be well. :)
Thank you for take your time to make this video. This helped a lot. We have to be positive, and think that this is just a tinnitus and not a deadly disease. Hugs.

One other tip... if you have tinnitus from loud noise (e.g., concerts) and/or hearing loss, then use hearing protection for the rest of your life religiously. I didn't just once and my tinnitus came back. But Ben is right, you can habituate. It works but takes time.
U2 Guitar Tutorial how long did it take for you to habituate?
@@cathy9814 Hi Cathy. It was back in about 2003 or 2004 and it was the first time it happened to me. I don't recall how long it took then - but I think months to a year or maybe two. I didn't have any material hearing loss back then. I've have mile to modest loss now at some frequencies. Likely due to age because I've been careful and use hearing protection. But I got lazy months ago and went to a venue with a loud band. Didn't seem to bad, but it triggered more serious tinnitus. It's annoying but I'm dealing with it. This time it likely will take much longer to habituate, if at all. I recommend masking at night for sleep (find a track that works for you), and go one with your life best you can. Just plow through it. I don't hear it when working (concentrating on something else) or outside (unless I listen for it). In quiet rooms I play various masking tracks which work great. You have to tell yourself that this is something in your brain that you can't control, so you can't obsess about it. You have to do everything you can to focus on other tasks and your life. It's annoying, but your brain has the ability to adjust. Be patient and hang in there. Read the success stories on the Tinnitus Talk forum and notice the long term approach. Try CBT with an audio therapist.
@@U2GuitarTutorials can I ask you hopefully u can give me some insight when I move my jaw to the left or ear it hisses the entire time I eat have you ever had this? Also my ears pop and crack constantly do u have this?
@@cathy9814 Sorry, not something I've had to deal with. Sounds like you have something physical that could be addressed. Mine is due to loud noise exposure.
When I try to ignore the tinnitus it becomes unbearable. When I focus on the tinnitus it fades.
Adding another sound on top of tinnitus is aggravating, especially white noise.
I had Tinnitus for 21 years that was low volume and didn't bother me until 2 months ago when the volume suddenly went full blast and is driving me crazy.
Sadly no one understands who has never had it and think we are overreacting.
if it was stress or anxiety this condition would be more common than the cold and more well known. my guess is 5G or Toxic Environments.
Hi. How has it been for you lately?
I am trying everything you suggest ...everything . Exercise , getting out for fresh air into my lungs definitely helps to get a good night's sleep . I just want to be able to hear normally again. I'm now trying the sound therapy hearing aids , Just one month in with it , so it's early days . Yes , I try not to get upset about it , stress and anxiety really does make it worse.
I've suffered with Tinitus for about 8 years now..i find getting outside and keeping occupied takes your focus away from the tinitus. Mine started on my left side and has become gradually louder where i struggled coping at the time. Not realising that my frustration and stress was causing the noise to be more apparent and louder. It started off as a subtle ringing but gradually gets louder and it is really loud now when i have no distraction or stress. It started on my right side a few years ago and that is creeping up in frequency. It has been worrying at times as to whether it'll get to a point where i cant cope as it gets louder. I cant read books as the noise distracts my concentration. Sometimes i struggle listening to the tv with the high pitch noise. Sometimes its pulsatile and sometimes its just a constant ring. I use breathing and meditation to relax. I also listen to music with headphones. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be tinitus free for a day and how relaxing that would be. I find distraction techniques and daily activities mask the noise. Acceptance is another way of coping...this allows me to calm my negative thoughts. Accept the noise isnt going away. Negativity and the flight response tend to just turn the volumn up. Be mindful of your tinitus and learn how to manage the frequency with calming techniques. Meditation is great..i focus on my breathing as though im sending my breaths to my feet slowly making their way up my body, before i know it im asleep by the time my breaths have reached my hips. I hope explaining about my experience may help others in dealing with theirs...
Thanks for sharing, Carolyne!
This guy is awesome i hope you know your helping so many people ❤️
Appreciate it. Thanks!
Thanks Mr.Ben for your good tutorial on Tinitus as I am a tinnitus victim for about six years.I would also like to join the tinnitus association so as I can get more on how I can get a relief from it.
Hey man, you're super helpful. Thanks a billion.
Happy to help!
Meditation, for me, is the only thing that truly numbs my T, but not everyday you can meditate. ASMR is also a great way to soften it a little bit.
Suffering for 6 years.... will try. Thanks.
ben, i am so grateful for your dedication in helping us with tinnitus ... thank you thank you ....
My pleasure! Be well, Alana. :)
Ben can you please do a video on things not to eat if having tinnitus?🙏
I can look into it, yes.!!
Thank you Dr Ben . Appreciate your advice, will work on this inshallah.
Most welcome!
This is so helpful, thank you so much.
Glad it helped you, Julie! Thank you for watching our video!
This video and the last interview reminded me about the metaphysical meaning of Tinnitus that I had read a while ago. It really resonates with my situation.
Where I live the ENT's I saw told me I had to learn to live with it. There was really no effect treatment to treat tinnitus.
If your tinnitus is caused by hearing loss, the ENT might be right. However, if it's not, there are things you can try. After all, it has to be caused by something right?
Great tips, thanks im suffering a tinnitus as a long process of self not care, i can recognise it and im imprving my self healt care and study about this.A recognice the psicologic fact, very important to understand.
Thank you doctor Ben, youve been a big help for me
Thank you. Happy to help you through my videos.
Ben Thank you so much. just trying to reach you. The water over rock (not forest birds) is perfect, its natural, calming, completely dissolved it for me. Just before I tried many from white white noice to frequency, it wasn't a good experience. and at times exacerbate the condition with tension. Spiritually you have purpose in your life.. Bless you, lots of love brother.
Hi, Dr. Ben, Step #4 Letting go of negative thinking patterns/CBT, and #5 Daily practices. I had an increase in tinnitus in December of 2021 and
am listening to crickets right now. I took copious notes while listening to your podcast and will be on your next group Zoom. I would like to discuss how best to reach "the mixing point", as I might not be implementing it correctly prior to sleep. Thank you for all the help and encouragement you are providing to all of us with Tinnitus. You have given me hope. Elisa Maietta Flynn
