O my goodness, this is my story , down to a T , but I’m 2 years into mine. My ringing was so bad that I could turn the volume all the way up and my tinnitus was still louder and I let my Dr experience how loud it was and he almost started crying that I’m have to experience it that volume. I went to the emergency room around 7 times this year with no help from Drs, plus I had suicidal thoughts as well. You have to listen to sound therapy, that’s a must, You got to keep telling yourself that your going to get better, plus I had covid with it twice. First time with Covid, I was in the bed for 3 1/2 weeks and I was really bad off with Covid. 2nd time I had just a few symptoms. I’m still praying and believing that God is going to bring me through it. You have got to Pray pray pray. I could write a book , so I’ll stop boring everyone. God Bless you all who has tinnitus. Once I get my product on the market, I want to help as many people with tinnitus that’s humanly possible, plus everyone that’s suicidal. God loves us all.
Positive stories are medicine. Not only it your just starting this path but also for when we have a temporary spike. It is possible to get better and you will ❤️🩹
Thank you to both of you for taking the time to reach out. To share your knowledge and experiences with any one that may benefit is, to me the very definition of grace.
Always helpful to hear success stories. This condition is so draining, thank goodness for technology so we can carry sounds to mask with us. I’m about 2months in from the high pitch sound coming 24/7. Mostly in my left ear/brain and came on after a few weeks of stuffy ear with intermittent ache, I had the wax removed but it still felt stuffy and the ringing started a few days later. As I grind my teeth and have had neck issues for decades, being 62, I thought it likely somatic and hoped it would go in time. But now know i have hearing loss in the left ear, maybe a virus back when it was stuffy ???, so might be here for ever. Luckily using a ear bud playing cricket like tones I can keep going without going mad and there’s good and bad times, I sleep with the noise playing beside my bed so when I wake I concentrate on it not my tinnitus and nod off again. Every now and then I feel silence and it’s bliss and when I’m out and about in a noisy environment I can get the brain noise out of centre court. I feel your anguish fellow sufferers and your hope for relief. I’d recommend using the Apps available that you can create tones and sounds to give relief. 🤗
Hell yeah. When my spikes are bad or significantly noticeable I watch all the success stories. Gotta remind myself that these moments are just moments, they will pass.
Thank you both for such positive video, it certainly gives us a big time hope. I am constantly learning by following your videos and I thank you so much for your constant support. Greetings from Spain. Tinnitus fighter!
First of all thank you both and all the other people who make these vids. The problem is i think im scared to try these things because im afraid it won''t work. I gladly talk to someone about it who is a professional but im scared for the bad docs out there who don't seem to care, i can tell you my whole story wich i might do one day but wil just share a little bit. I got it from a very loud piece of fire work that i threw in a flat building so it was amplified if yall know what i mean, have it for 10 years now and i had a lot of different stages with it. There were times i '' didn"t '' had it anymore and i would do something stupid like listening to loud music, got thrue all the stages again and it always got better to the point i could sit in a quiet room and all was nothing but silence. This happend almost every year, with music or without, now again im in the same boat, 3 months of irritating tinnitus. Annyway after again the period of anxiety, depression etc. Im overall in a good place, lets say 90% living my life but still....it annoys me knowing how it was to have silence. And yeah, you may all call me stupid for doing what i did. Im from Holland btw, and don't like the docs here very much.
Steve and Dr. Ben thank you very much for this video as it reinforces the need to give myself time and that it is possible to improve. Steve I wish you the best as you progress to stage 4. Gotta now go and pop in my maskers.
Back in December 2021 I fell asleep with speep earbuds while listening to a RUclips video. I was shockingly woken up by an extremely loud notification. Have had tinnitus ever since.
I wonder if he used the maskers at night? For me, that’s one of the loudest times. Thank you for your inspiration. Tinnitus is quite a relatively new challenge for me.
Also referred to as desensitization, sound therapy is used to desensitize a patient’s hearing over a period of several months. This is achieved through the use of noise generators, which may take the form of an ear-level device, similar to a hearing aid, or a bedside sound generator. White noise is the sound most commonly used.
tinnitus are always linked to a loss of hair cells. the brain produces this phantom noise, which is tinnitus, in an attempt to compensate for this loss of frequency…. it is therefore necessary, as in a stroke, to re-educate the brain…. sound therapy, including the TOMATIS method, is the best solution….. relaxation techniques help to practice it better and to wait for it to work
Amazing video of hope. Ty dr. Ben for that awesome story which reminds me that I need to extend my time table of getting better and to keep busy mentally in a positive way.
This was fantastic. I was thinking 6 months but looking at this video, not going to do that, I'm going to give myself whatever time I need to habituate. So glad you interviewed Steve and you, Dr. Ben for posting this success story.
Thank you Steve from someone who has managed to climb out of that awful Stage 1 but has got rather stuck and frustrated trying to get from 2 to 3. I have been debating whether or not to invest in ear level sound generators. My NHS audiologist told me there is no evidence that they are effective so didn't recommended them but hearing what you have to say gives me the confidence to invest in some and progress my habituation. I too am a pharmacist btw ! Thank you Dr Ben for producing this video, just what I needed in a week where progress seems to have stopped or gone backwards.
This was very helpful. I’ve had tinnitus for about 8 weeks. Steve’s story is very encouraging. The only thing I am concerned about is the cost of the therapy and technology. I know it’s not covered by insurance. It was also helpful when Ben said that using the maskers isn’t waving a white flag and you are giving into it. That was my mindset.
Hi Jennifer, thank you for the comment. We are glad to know that our videos have helped you. Enjoy exploring our other RUclips videos, as well as blog articles on our Treble Health website.
@@Berte_1 unfortunately, at first I only had it in one ear, now I have in both, and a constant humming across the back of my head. I am using bone conduction headphones for my sound therapy.
Hi doc Ben I watch most of videos I tinnitus almost 4month now somedays is between 1 to 3 some days 4/5 but 1 st month was hardest it was so bad I thought how am I going to live rest my life like this I use sound therapy when I have bad days
So hekpful! I get scared bc if tinnitus I have but I have gotten better by not thinking about it and like he said get lost in conversation and forget about it . I’ll have to look into maskers bc my ENT said there’s nothing I can do
Does the success of habituation relate to what caused the tinnitus in the first place? In my case, I have sudden hearing loss in one ear in lower frequencies (not Meniere’s). Will my habituation be as successful as someone with no hearing loss whatsoever?
Very helpful! Love this story. I have a question, I usually wear hearing device in my right ear listening to crickets, that’s enough to keep me calm and completely distract me from hearing my tinnitus when I’m out. Did you wear maskers in both ears or just one?
If this continues and it doesn't get better then I don't want to live much longer. how long should i give it time? what can i do if you are a carpenter. And that 1 of the things is how I got my tinnitus. today an ENT doctor tells me that I can't be helped! I'm at home for a series and can't focus my mind on the series anymore, the sound is just too loud. And I don't know how to proceed. I have an appointment at an audiologic center where they will help me. I'll wait it out in the hope that it will get better someday!
Try high strength Cod liver fish oil. It worked for me and my tinnitus is completely gone. Don't use the capsules just fish oil. I hope this helps you.
@@robval7465 I replied to you but my reply just disappeared. I use High Strength Cod Liver oil not the capsules. Just take a teaspoon every morning. It worked for me. Fish oil is excellent for the brain. Tinnitus comes from the brain not the ear. I hope this helps you.
if you ahve tinnitus what kind of doctor should you look for, I go for ENT but all they do is tell I have cold symptoms and should take the medicine, they put this tiny camera inside my nose and ear to check but nothing happens with medication and only bills pile up, I have a slight tinnitus nothing that disturbs my day today's life but I would like to be careful and show it to proper doctor, anyone knows a good doctor in INDIA especially in SURAT.

I live in Ireland, services available are very poor. My GP's advice, was there is no cure. I'm very worried and feeling so low. Can I access Telehealth for help?
I have a question: does the volume of tinnitus really reduce throughout the time or does the body just habituate to the current volume of tinnitus (no change in volume)?
From my own experience, the volume of my tinnitus fluctuates but my reaction to the tinnitus itself is much improved. I notice it increase in volume if I have anything with a lot of sugar, fruit, juice drinks, chocolate etc... I'm usually like "oh it's loud at the moment..." but then I'll put on some music and forget about it again.
Does tinnitus cause parkinson or alzheimer ? Another question that I have is if can I concentrate in learn things like a language with that noise on my hear all day
Hi!! One question Ben.. what kind of sound generator was used? hearing aids? I don't have any hearing problems, but I was advised to use hearing aids with a sound generator for tinnitus therapy and this irritated me more than it helped me... best!
