It is encouraging to learn of more Audiologists who are demonstrating knowledge of... and competence in treating Tinnitus. The field of audiology is perhaps finally “getting up to speed” with this disorder that affects as many as 15% of the population. And is the number one disability among military veterans.
Another great episode with an Audiologist who also experiences Tinnitus (such as Dr. Thompson himself). The most comforting and reassuring part for me was when Rachael said, "To be able to say (to her patients), yup, mine changes all of the time." Knowing your not alone in experiencing random fluctuations of Tinnitus helps greatly.
I genuinely lost all desire to live due to tinnitus. They only time I don’t hear it is when I first wake up, I don’t see how I’m going to continue another 22 years with this. My life feels over and I’m crushed.
I hope you can find some help. I’ve had it for decades and it is always between a 6-10 depending on the day and always there. Mine is a hissing with intermittent ringing. I found that Ibuprofen makes it so much worse and Tylenol also makes it worse. It’s always there and I think over time, I’ve learned to sort of ignore it, It’s hardest at night because I sleep with the tV on to mask it (so I’m listening to TV and not the hissing) but the light bothers me. I hope you can figure a way to cope so you don’t feel so hopeless.
Thanks, Dr. Cook, for sharing. It is sad but true that some providers are not equipped to properly treat tinnitus and usher patients out the door without hope. I experienced that until I found someone who could help. Prayers to all who are suffering from this.
I had high pitched tinnitus in 2016. Increased to very high volume during high anxiety period. I played pink noise in my earbuds every night. After a while I forgot I had tinnitus. After a while it might bother me. But it did go "away". I also had started running and exercising as a natural course of being healthy. I recently had an ear infection and it's started again. This time quite a bit worse with a blocked ear. HOWEVER. I learned that I was always in fight or flight mode and that increased the tinnitus sound I started taking cold showers and that would change my nervous system to calm down and my perception of the tinnitus was not as "scary" , but just a noise. There is more to the story but we have alot of influence over this stuff. Try this next time you get anxious and frustrated. Put your head under very cold water and see how you feel. It can help you yo control how your body reacts to stress and start to lower the noise, the anxiety and the panic.
@HeatherHernandez I don't remember. It was in stages. You have periods when you don't hear it. Then the periods become longer. Just remember our conscious mind can really only focus on one thing at a time
@suebowen-gt4ex combination of many things . I don't expect one thing to solve it. Because it's a brain thing. So pink noise at night helped me to habituate to it. Then just naturally I guess I didn't hear it. Even though I knew I had it. Sometimes being able to dissociate can be helpful
Dr. Rachael Cook is a "trusted source" for me. I eagerly hunger for any advice on hearing issues that she has to give. It seems she has a way of putting it that I can related to and understand.
I can totally understand how it feels. I have tinnitus problem along with hyperaccusis and one ear hearing loss. It is really disturbing and I don't know when it gonna be alright...I am just hoping for the best because that's all we human can do. And, every tinnitus sufferer, I can understand how it feels but all I wanna say please don't give up and have some faith on god. One day we will definitely win from this. 🙂
The level of calm and information given by both participating specialists is truely welcomed by myself in Wales. Pleased that people like Ben and Julian Cowan Hill are bringing us enlightening Tinnitus professionals with great communication skills to help everyone globally manage this sometimes complicating symptom. Thank you again, for giving sound practical hope Diolch Martin
I’m working with Lindsay at Valley ENT in Mesa. Helping me with hearing loss, but tinnitus is still there. I used Dr. Julie when first diagnosed in Colorado. Sound Therapy didn’t help. I have TMJ, a dentist nicked the nerve by my ear when replacing a crown, and I have a night guard. Husband is a lead singer in two oldies bands (noise levels). I’m an older gal and have had it since 2015. I hear locusts or cicadas and an occasional ringing in the ears. I feel like I’m beyond hope. But I’m hoping something will help this community. It’s an awful problem. Stay busy and otherwise distracted. That will keep it at least unnoticeable for a lot of the time. Thx for your attention to this new epidemic.
This video helped me a lot. After 6 months and going to an ENT who found nothing wrong, I was really losing help. I really needed this. Thank you so much
Hey CelloMaster, 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 treblehealth.com
Loved this podcast, as my tinnitus mostly in my left ear started in the Spring out of nowhere like many others. It is a come and go type of tinnitus, where I have it for a day or two and don't have it for a day or two. Stress is a huge factor, as well as my sleep positions. It usually isn't very loud most of the time like a 1 - 2 out of ten for severity but does spike here and there where it is slightly more annoying. In the beginning, sleep was a luxury, but now I sleep pretty well if I have it or not. Habituation is really the key. It is not perfect and it does annoy me when it returns after a couple days without it, but it is tolerable. I have normal hearing (tested), as the most likely cause is either from my sinuses or a TMD/neck issue. Going to see an allergist in the next couple of weeks and hopefully an ENT from there. Definitely would recommend if you have tinnitus and have normal hearing to try acupuncture, meditation, and a chiropractor, as each has helped. Also, see your dentist/periodontist to make sure it isn't a mouth/jaw issue too. Above all else keep up hope because I feel there will be either a cure or better treatment methods coming in the not-so-distant future. People like Dr. Ben Thompson and others do provide quality information. It is amazing to me the number of audiologists that have some form of tinnitus as well like Dr. Rachel Cook. My audiologist who did my hearing test also has it but told me straight out it is not my hearing that is causing it. Again looking for my own set of answers and has been quite the journey of self-discovery for me. Just know you are not alone...
You talked about sleeping positions have you found a position that makes it either better or worse. I find that mine can be calm all day sometimes and then when I go to bed in the middle of the night I'll wake up and it's just terrible and there doesn't seem to be any reason for that I'm thinking maybe sleep position could be it what do you think any input on sleep position thanks for anything you can offer
I'm glad I found you. I'm retiring from the Air Force and having experienced tinnitus since 2003. After 18 years of being told, "there's not much you can do about it" this is hopeful for me. Thank you.
This was really encouraging for me, in two ways. Doctor Cook's situation is very similar to mine. I just about have a handle on my tinnitus but some days can be difficult. Its very positive and encouraging to hear an audiologist say confidently that she believes her tinnitus will continue to get better, which gives me hope that mine will too. I also have a mild dip in the high frequencies so naturally I went down the hearing aid, sound therapy route. But I have problems with my neck and jaw. My neck is often stiff and I carry a lot of tension in my jaw. I saw an ENT who said he didn't find anything in his physical exam but the MRI showed I have a cerebella ectopia. He didn't think it was causing my tinnitus. But now I think it might be worth exploring that further so I'm going to ask for a referral from my doctor and hopefully get that fixed. I mentioned my jaw. I carry a lot of tension there and often the bones in my ears crack when I bite down, so i think that is worth looking into as well. Perhaps one of the doctors can suggest what type of specialist I should see. I'm thinking I can see an orthodontist, maybe they can tell me what might be causing the cracking. Thank you again very much. It was a really, really positive video.
Another great video Dr Ben! Thanks for all your hard work, you are on the cutting edge and I always look forward to your next video.. even when my recovery hits 100% I'll still be passing your videos/name on to people who need help!
Thank you Doctor Ben, very great interview! You both are great people and your patients are so lucky , the audiologist I went to is nothing like you! 🙏🙏🙏🙌🏻🙏♾♾
She was so great. I will read that workbook she spoke about. I am so disappointed in my tinnitus specialist audiologist because, other than hearing aids, a sound machine, and general empathy about stress and seeing a therapist, she offered no other advice. So I am ready to switch audiologists, but don’t know where to turn in NYC. Now, insomnia is the biggest issue for me.

How have you been sleeping? My tinnitus flared up massively post second vaccine after years of having a mild case. Didn’t sleep really at all for 3 weeks, I’m in temazapan now, so getting so sleep each night but I’m really worried that once I finish this short duration course of drug, I will be on my own and I won’t be able to sleep because of tinnitus that is very hard to ignore.
My ENT never told me that stress is not good for tinnitus and I am on stress almost every day. Thanks for the information....let see what can I do to change it.
LOVE THIS ! Thank YOU. I saw the episode w/ dr. On the 3 subtypes - LOVED that & this young lady has amazing perspective in all ways. I have the neck/traps tightness.. work w/ pers. trainer but everything I do physically (yoga - planks, flow etc.. along w/ strength training) brings on neck/traps/jaw pain .. it’s ALL interrelated … I sometimes get excruciating pain JUST below/in front of my ear lobe - have found stretches to do that help, also NECK POSITION - chin tucked & NOT downward position for iPad/iPhone - neck load. ALL of this I’ve researched myself … I also had LOUD NOISE for YEARS from my dig in the car - kept her in crate in hatch b/c barking was SO loud when we’d go to park or whatever … her excitement level was crazy. I had a feeling at the time it could affect my hearing in future 🥴 in the same (left) ear … LIFE happens. I hear it now really loud b/c I’m concentrating/talking about but my personal growth has been about eating well, meditation, relaxation, hiking in nature, kayaking etc .. overcoming childhood trauma… letting go of expectations & outcomes. This has all helped me to live w/ it, stay healthy in every way, enjoy life, meditate .. focus on positive - WHAT WD FOCUS ON EXPANDS, noise, physical or emotional .. 💪❣️
Hey Stevie, 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 treblehealth.com
When your guest talks about stress she is really talking about the autonomous nervous system which responds to nutrition, exercise, audio input, thoughts, and meditation via responses in cortisol level which is a reason why tinnitus can be louder in the early morning when cortisol levels rise naturally. There is also a genetic or epigenetic link in that there are differences between type A personalities and others linked to electrolyte balance with this type of personality is more likely to have stress-based tinnitus though it impacts all forms due to the role of electrolytes in the electrical signaling of nerves. This makes nutrition and epigenetics one of the more important factors in controlling tinnitus and in this respect involves the gut microbiota too.
Exercise make a HUGE difference. Especially compound exercises, squats, pull ups, chin ups, shoulder lifts etc. For me, it seems to not work immediately after but a few days later it’s a huge difference. When the body gets used to the exercise it’s gonna cause all the muscle tension to relax and loosen. So do exercise three days a week.
I have had tinnitus for years and years and really didn’t notice any significant change to the hell that is 24/7 hissing like one of those old fashioned radiators. I did, however notice some random ringing in the same ear in addition to the hissing but can’t really decide if it had anything to do with my vaccines. I hope that yours will be temporary. It is a pain to live with for sure.
@@danreich4320 😢 same here. I read between first and second jab that people will tinnitus can have issues. I spoke to the doctor and he said “completely safe”. Anyway, just a few days later I noticed louder ringing, then after a week or so I had an ear infection and it’s been way louder ever since. I’m really devastated to be honest, I would rather catch covid.
Excellent podcast. Thank you Dr. Thompson and Dr. Cook. I learned so much from you both and it gives me hope that there may be tools I can possibly use to try to live more comfortably with my tinnitus instead of feeling like I am going crazy with this constant high pitch sound.
I'm been experiencing tinnitus for over a month now. Tinnitus didn't start until after my 1st episode of vertigo subsided. When vertigo subsided; saw audiologist & ENT Dr - a week later vertigo stopped (yay!); 3-4 days AFTER seeing audiologist (got hearing test done) & saw ENT after seeing them tinnitus started & now it's been over a month. Level of stress has not changed from prior to having 1st vertigo episode. I've tried everything.... decreasing sodium intake on daily basis; listening to the tinnitus relief sounds; relaxation techniques; winding down at least 2 hours/ day. NOT to sound or present as a victim...i've reached the point of just being hopeless w having ANY kind of progress of tinnitus/ decrease of the high pitched ringing in my ear. Grateful tinnitus is only in one ear....it's constant 24/7; no moments of intermission where there's NO tinnitus. Any recommendations on how to decrease the intensity of the pitch or any type of meds or exercises??

Yes. Absolutely. I had eustachian tube obstruction on my right side, leading me to the loss of hearing "bass" in my right ear. Then I was referred to a "TMJ dentist", who ended up dislocating my jaw, leading to tinnitus and hearing loss in my left ear. Apparently it's called "somatic tinnitus due to cochlear synaptic hearing loss". Good news: Susan Shore's device may help. I'm also hoping that you are tracking the development of BDNF and Neurotrophin treatments. My Neurotologist tried it on guinea pigs in my city, but said that the molecular weight of BDNF was too high to diffuse through the round window, so it must be injected directly through it, otherwise no results will be see. I also have a "mild" hearing loss in the normal range in my left ear, but to me, it's immense. Now, both eustachian tube are swollen, so I have to lip read. My hearing improves slightly when the swelling goes down, but the tinnitus does not. It's too much. Posture, jaw, permanent damage. Everything plays a role. I'm now taking Citalopram so I don't go insane. My condition was stable for 10 years, thanks to only 2 weeks of Nortriptyline, but has gotten worse as of August 2020. The pandemic ruined my posture due to slouching at home. My tinnitus now distorts sounds and voices, so I only get peace when the room is silent.
My ENT doctor simply told me that I am losing my hearing, that I would be a good candidate for hearing aids, and good luck getting them because Medicaid doesn't cover them. Then they handed me my hat and showed me the door. I've had this for a long time. There are no level 2 days or 3 days. it's constant unless I'm standing next to a freeway the level is constant, very loud, very disruptive. Nobody ever diagnosed me with any of those three categories so I don't know which one I am. I also went to loud concerts and stuff when I was young, but I was also a legal secretary and did dictation alldayeveryday for years.
She sounds like such a great audiologist. I really wish I could find someone like her. Do either of you have a recommendation for someone in the Seattle, WA area?

My tinnitus developed from fluid in my ears after a viral infection. I had it before, and it habituated. Then I went through another viral infection, fluid in my ears, and my tinnitus spiked badly. Now I have to habituate again. I hope this is not repeated over the years. I don't want to get a bad spike every time I get a viral infection :(
Yes indeed. Another great episode. I sure hope my tinnitus doesn't increase. Mines probably a 2 now. I put on my air purifier at bedtime to mask the sound. Really need to go to the mall for those Chinese ladies for a neck massage. My feet get cold too. A chiropractor suggested an Iridoligist who I emailed. May see her soon.
I want to thank you both for your time and help, I have a Bad case of this screaming in both ears, tonight it is from 1 to 10 it is at a 15.. I also have TMJ also the back right side of my neck hurts so bad, my worry is will this sound get so loud that I can't hear anything but crickets on Meth, sorry but I am so worried and starting to freek.. been going on for 6months.. thank you .

I can only watch in jealousy that there are so many audiologists specializing in tinnitus in USA. Here in Singapore, can hardly find one who is very experienced in dealing with tinnitus. Even if we do find one who claims he does, it’s expensive and the sound generators are so costly making tinnitus patient like me shy away from the treatments
I am a 67 year old man who drove truck for 30 years. I have had tinnitus for 2 years, coinciding with my retirement from work. Hearing is good, it just started after I developed pre-diabetes and is mostly left side. I've been on a keto/ low carb lifestyle for a year, lost 52 lbs and feel great. The tinnitus persists but I now regard it as an old friend, to the extent that silence now seems foreign to me. Vlogs such as yours are helpful, but confirm my feelings that modern medicine doesn't have a frickin' clue about nutrition or real human health. The road to hell IS paved with good intentions, sponsored by Big Pharma..
I agree now, I had a lot of faith in science and the medical system and the wonders that await in the future. Obviously there are huge improvements in things like surgery, pregnancy, treatments, drugs and so forth but overall there’s still so many maladies that have no solution. Tinnitus should be way further ahead than “no cure, just deal with it”.
Have you ever heard of earwax being removed with a Dr’s (scrape) tool causing tinnitus? That’s me. Probably because I’m 6 months recovering from GBS. I wish I never told him to remove some of my wax. 😢
I have horrible high level hissing in my right ear. I have had it for decades. I have severe TMJ and so I do believe that this might be related but I have it in both sides of my jaw but the tinnitus is predominantly in my right ear. I am trying to figure out who to go see about it but most of these videos basically say there is nothing more to do about it. I think stress exacerbates it but it is always there. Plus many doctors who look in my ears say the same thing - ‘wow, you have lots of scaring on your eardrums’ and this is due to numerous ear infections as a child. I wonder if this played into it. I have a hobby that I love that helps with stress but seriously I just stop thinking about the hissing but it is still there,.
About 2.5 months ago out of nowhere, I woke up one morning with ringing in my ears, mostly my left, and very dull hearing. 2 day later it was very loud ringing, and almost no hearing in my left ear. After many visits to many drs I was told that it was a viral infection that could have been treated with prednisone in the first 4 weeks bit if after that it would not be effective. They finally tried that but at week 5 with no results. Audiology results show about 15 % left in my left ear and 65% in my right.. but they said that I probably already had hearing loss but never knew it.. I am at such a loss not, I am dizzy AF as soon as I stand up, like I am on a rocking boat.. and limited sleep due to the ringing, maybe 3 hrs a night. And the same as her the headaches are grueling daily... I am at such a loss!
How are you now? I’ve had mild tinnitus for 27 years but had vaccine, quickly followed by an ear infection in my right ear, followed by much louder ringing in both ears. For 3 weeks I barely got a wink of sleep. Now taking temazapan just to get some sleep, but worries once I go off them I won’t be able to sleep at all again. I know I will habitude at some stage but I just hope it gets better somehow.
Some days go by better, bit for the most part the ringing is borderline unbearable. The dizziness comes and goes with no rhyme or reason. I have come to notice if I move my eyes before I move my head there is less dizziness like when I am driving and come to stop signs. Same thing as far as meds go, I am on diazepam which I guess is suppose to calm me down. Then I take 2 or 3 otc sleep aid pills. But if I wake up too soon in the night there is little chance to fall back to sleep.
@@kathleen9456 not vertigo, it was more luje a side to side swaying.. here I am almost a year later, the dizziness is gone, deafness is to stay and the tinnitus is raging as bad as day one.
Just came across this, I have had mri and came back fine. I suffer with profound hearing loss in my right ear and left ear is sensorineural moderate loss, I have unilateral tinnitus and asymmetry, I have balance issues and use a stick to prevent me from falling, I can’t wear a hearing aid in my good ear as I have had pinna perichondritis which is very painful, I prefer not to wear my aid, try to hear what is left in that ear. I have seen a massive change in my hearing in the last 6 months, due for a test shortly.
My tinnitus was far & few between until I had a VNG test for vertigo. They forced air into my ears. Now it rings all the time. How do I get trapped air out?
Thank you for this video. I have had tinnitus 24/7 for decades and thought it was something i just had to deal with. I have moderate high frequency hearing loss and TMJ. Currently i am treating the hearing loss. For the most part, I’m aware of my tinnitus and it becomes bothersome when i have loud spikes that affects my ability to understand speech. I would be interested in reading the progressive tinnitus management handbook but can’t seem to find the correct link online. Could you please provide which link you are referring to? Thanks again
My tinnitis was caused by IV antibiotics i received years ago. I'm under the impression since this was a chemical nerve injury that there nothing that will help. I'd love to learn if there's any hope for relief.
My audiologist just tells me there’s no cure nothing will help and it’s just I’m getting old UGH I’ll download the workbook defiantly doesn’t help my depression
I live in in Tasmania Australia. My son suffers tinnitus and has as long as he can remember. Who should I see to identify how his tinnitus developed and how to treat it? Doctors just say nothing can be done.
I am also in Tasmania, I’ve had mild tinnitus for years, wasn’t super annoying but sometimes it would bother me but recently after 2’nd Pfizer shot it got a lot louder and life has been tough since then. I hope I can habitude ASAP but it’s going to be a struggle. I think as far as help, people like me and your son will probably have to go to Melbourne or Sydney. I want to deal with someone who has a lot of experience with tinnitus. I’m even thinking about seeing a chiropractor, just out of desperation.
@@pct2025 I am sorry to hear that Mark. Thank you for making contact. At the moment my son says it is not a big deal but he has not known any different. He says the ringing is constant and prefers constant noise to mask the ringing and he has trouble going to sleep when it is quiet. I also thin it may be affecting his ability to focus and listen. Yes it seems both covid and the vaccines are causing so many strange symptoms. My son is not getting the shot as for kids the benefits are negligible after a cost benefit analysis based on the available data. Since the vaccines don't stem the spread of Omicron at all the social responsibility argument is out the window. Have you reported your side effects to the reporting body as i do not think the doctors do that, it would be up to you?
I developed tinnitus after mri with contrast two months ago . 24/7 . Hearing test is normal . Does it means my problem is in the brain ? I believe the electromagnetic field fires up my neurons bc I’m having fasciculations and pins and needles all over my body since then too . Doctors are clueless.

My doctor prescribed antihistamine and a mucous decongestant. Why? Can sinus problems cause this condition. Nothing makes sense to me. I seem to have all the causes discussed too. Should I consult a ENT or an audiologist.
This has been very helpful..will definitely check out the Progressive Tinnitus Management handbook. My tinnitus started after a pain on the right side of my head in March of 2020( right when the first cases of Covid started in my country) that progressed to an "ear ,nose ,throat & eventually chest infection " since then I have had a multitude of tests including several blood tests , ear cleaning (by a super loud & invasive machine, audiology tests ,x-rays & an M.R.I but am being told " nothing is wrong " it's been nearly 2 years & it's getting progressively worse..most of the time I can't even sleep because the pitch is so high & loud. ENT doctors have all but washed their hands of me & I don't know what to do. In having said that ,I have noticed pain in my TMJ region & neck & upper thoracic spine ..again ,x-rays show nothing 🤷
I have really sensitive hearing plastic bag rustling can make it feel like my ears going to bleed. 4 weeks ago had sudden total hearing loss in left ear hearing slowly improved not back to previous level but developed tinnitus average noise level is 7/10...constantly present, the associatiated nausea awful.
Exactly with me. My hearing hasnt changed slight hearing loss because when i was younger i went to too many concerts without protection. Then went through a period of intense stess and anxiety clenching my teeth too. So all three probably the reason for ky major spike. My question is if that's the case can this spike last for months and can it go back to baseline??
Yes, it definitely can! We'd be happy to help you get back to your baseline. Schedule a complimentary telehealth consultation: treble.health/consultation

u may take sleeping medicine for initial days.. it will prevent u from sleepless nights, anxietyfull nights and headaches next day... slowly u will get hibuated and can taper sleeping med. sleeping pill is recommended only for a short duration, since it has it's own side effect of developing tolerance and neurological effects. aim is to get some sleep till u get habituated n not to depend upon sleeping pills. in my case, I tried to take sleeping pill only at alternate nights.. this way, one night went into struggling to habituated and second night to cover up the pending sleep.. slowly, I started getting the sleep on the nights when i didnt take medicine..ot reduced to once in 3 days, later to once in 4 days, finally I left sleeping pills...now, I haven't taken any sleeping pill over 3 months in my 6 month journey..

I had high pitched tinnitus in 2016. Increased to very high volume during high anxiety period. I played pink noise in my earbuds every night. After a while I forgot I had tinnitus. After a while it might bother me. But it did go "away". I also had started running and exercising as a natural course of being healthy.
I recently had an ear infection and it's started again. This time quite a bit worse with a blocked ear.
HOWEVER. I learned that I was always in fight or flight mode and that increased the tinnitus sound
I started taking cold showers and that would change my nervous system to calm down and my perception of the tinnitus was not as "scary" , but just a noise.
There is more to the story but we have alot of influence over this stuff.
Try this next time you get anxious and frustrated. Put your head under very cold water and see how you feel. It can help you yo control how your body reacts to stress and start to lower the noise, the anxiety and the panic.
@HeatherHernandez I don't remember. It was in stages. You have periods when you don't hear it. Then the periods become longer. Just remember our conscious mind can really only focus on one thing at a time
Was it the pink noise that silenced your tinnitus?.
@@HeatherHernandez I really can't remember. I guess 6 months overall
@suebowen-gt4ex combination of many things . I don't expect one thing to solve it. Because it's a brain thing. So pink noise at night helped me to habituate to it. Then just naturally I guess I didn't hear it. Even though I knew I had it. Sometimes being able to dissociate can be helpful
@@michaelpaul721how long do you have it? And did you feel better
Everything she shares on this video, is a mirror image of my tinnitus journey. It’s so identical to mine. Excellent podcast. Thanks.
Awesome. We are glad to know that the videos have helped you.
Ive been using asmr vids from youtube and they have really helped me to get to sleep at night.
Dr. Rachael Cook is a "trusted source" for me. I eagerly hunger for any advice on hearing issues that she has to give. It seems she has a way of putting it that I can related to and understand.
I can totally understand how it feels. I have tinnitus problem along with hyperaccusis and one ear hearing loss. It is really disturbing and I don't know when it gonna be alright...I am just hoping for the best because that's all we human can do. And, every tinnitus sufferer, I can understand how it feels but all I wanna say please don't give up and have some faith on god. One day we will definitely win from this. 🙂
The level of calm and information given by both participating specialists is truely welcomed by myself in Wales.
Pleased that people like Ben and Julian Cowan Hill are bringing us enlightening Tinnitus professionals with great communication skills to help everyone globally manage this sometimes complicating symptom.
Thank you again, for giving sound practical hope

Thanks for your comment, Margaret. Glad that the videos have helped you. Be well.
Tinnitus is a horrible problem if its constant & loud. Great & worthy podcast.
Thanks for appreciating the video. Be well.
I’m working with Lindsay at Valley ENT in Mesa. Helping me with hearing loss, but tinnitus is still there. I used Dr. Julie when first diagnosed in Colorado. Sound Therapy didn’t help. I have TMJ, a dentist nicked the nerve by my ear when replacing a crown, and I have a night guard. Husband is a lead singer in two oldies bands (noise levels). I’m an older gal and have had it since 2015. I hear locusts or cicadas and an occasional ringing in the ears. I feel like I’m beyond hope. But I’m hoping something will help this community. It’s an awful problem. Stay busy and otherwise distracted. That will keep it at least unnoticeable for a lot of the time. Thx for your attention to this new epidemic.
Hello can you tell me more about Sound Therapy with Dr. Julie P am scheduled in April but contemplating just going with Dr. Ben Thompson?
This video helped me a lot. After 6 months and going to an ENT who found nothing wrong, I was really losing help. I really needed this. Thank you so much
Hey CelloMaster, 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 treblehealth.com
Loved this podcast, as my tinnitus mostly in my left ear started in the Spring out of nowhere like many others. It is a come and go type of tinnitus, where I have it for a day or two and don't have it for a day or two. Stress is a huge factor, as well as my sleep positions. It usually isn't very loud most of the time like a 1 - 2 out of ten for severity but does spike here and there where it is slightly more annoying. In the beginning, sleep was a luxury, but now I sleep pretty well if I have it or not. Habituation is really the key. It is not perfect and it does annoy me when it returns after a couple days without it, but it is tolerable. I have normal hearing (tested), as the most likely cause is either from my sinuses or a TMD/neck issue. Going to see an allergist in the next couple of weeks and hopefully an ENT from there. Definitely would recommend if you have tinnitus and have normal hearing to try acupuncture, meditation, and a chiropractor, as each has helped. Also, see your dentist/periodontist to make sure it isn't a mouth/jaw issue too. Above all else keep up hope because I feel there will be either a cure or better treatment methods coming in the not-so-distant future. People like Dr. Ben Thompson and others do provide quality information. It is amazing to me the number of audiologists that have some form of tinnitus as well like Dr. Rachel Cook. My audiologist who did my hearing test also has it but told me straight out it is not my hearing that is causing it. Again looking for my own set of answers and has been quite the journey of self-discovery for me. Just know you are not alone...
Hey Damian, thank you for your comment and for providing great tips for people with tinnitus.
Are you doing better now or it still comes and goes?
You talked about sleeping positions have you found a position that makes it either better or worse. I find that mine can be calm all day sometimes and then when I go to bed in the middle of the night I'll wake up and it's just terrible and there doesn't seem to be any reason for that I'm thinking maybe sleep position could be it what do you think any input on sleep position thanks for anything you can offer
I'm glad I found you. I'm retiring from the Air Force and having experienced tinnitus since 2003. After 18 years of being told, "there's not much you can do about it" this is hopeful for me. Thank you.
Hey CJ, thanks for your comment. Really appreciate it.
This was really encouraging for me, in two ways. Doctor Cook's situation is very similar to mine. I just about have a handle on my tinnitus but some days can be difficult. Its very positive and encouraging to hear an audiologist say confidently that she believes her tinnitus will continue to get better, which gives me hope that mine will too.
I also have a mild dip in the high frequencies so naturally I went down the hearing aid, sound therapy route. But I have problems with my neck and jaw. My neck is often stiff and I carry a lot of tension in my jaw. I saw an ENT who said he didn't find anything in his physical exam but the MRI showed I have a cerebella ectopia. He didn't think it was causing my tinnitus. But now I think it might be worth exploring that further so I'm going to ask for a referral from my doctor and hopefully get that fixed.
I mentioned my jaw. I carry a lot of tension there and often the bones in my ears crack when I bite down, so i think that is worth looking into as well. Perhaps one of the doctors can suggest what type of specialist I should see. I'm thinking I can see an orthodontist, maybe they can tell me what might be causing the cracking.
Thank you again very much. It was a really, really positive video.
Thanks for appreciating the video. Be well.
Another great video Dr Ben! Thanks for all your hard work, you are on the cutting edge and I always look forward to your next video.. even when my recovery hits 100% I'll still be passing your videos/name on to people who need help!
Our community would not be the same without you! Big shout out for all the work you do. Thank you Barry!
Thank you Doctor Ben, very great interview! You both are great people and your patients are so lucky , the audiologist I went to is nothing like you! 🙏🙏🙏🙌🏻🙏♾♾
Thanks for your comment, plane'te!
She was so great. I will read that workbook she spoke about. I am so disappointed in my tinnitus specialist audiologist because, other than hearing aids, a sound machine, and general empathy about stress and seeing a therapist, she offered no other advice. So I am ready to switch audiologists, but don’t know where to turn in NYC. Now, insomnia is the biggest issue for me.

How have you been sleeping? My tinnitus flared up massively post second vaccine after years of having a mild case. Didn’t sleep really at all for 3 weeks, I’m in temazapan now, so getting so sleep each night but I’m really worried that once I finish this short duration course of drug, I will be on my own and I won’t be able to sleep because of tinnitus that is very hard to ignore.
Tinnitus sucks... It brings depression if you suddenly experience it.. Mine isn't that extreme or severe but still affect your daily life.
Thank you.
Thanks for this very informative podcast. Greatly appreciated. Dr. Ben you have been a life saver for me.
Glad it was helpful. You're welcome, Lauren.
My ENT never told me that stress is not good for tinnitus and I am on stress almost every day. Thanks for the information....let see what can I do to change it.
You are so welcome. Glad it was helpful. Good luck and be well.
LOVE THIS ! Thank YOU. I saw the episode w/ dr. On the 3 subtypes - LOVED that & this young lady has amazing perspective in all ways. I have the neck/traps tightness.. work w/ pers. trainer but everything I do physically (yoga - planks, flow etc.. along w/ strength training) brings on neck/traps/jaw pain .. it’s ALL interrelated … I sometimes get excruciating pain JUST below/in front of my ear lobe - have found stretches to do that help, also NECK POSITION - chin tucked & NOT downward position for iPad/iPhone - neck load. ALL of this I’ve researched myself … I also had LOUD NOISE for YEARS from my dig in the car - kept her in crate in hatch b/c barking was SO loud when we’d go to park or whatever … her excitement level was crazy. I had a feeling at the time it could affect my hearing in future 🥴 in the same (left) ear … LIFE happens. I hear it now really loud b/c I’m concentrating/talking about but my personal growth has been about eating well, meditation, relaxation, hiking in nature, kayaking etc .. overcoming childhood trauma… letting go of expectations & outcomes. This has all helped me to live w/ it, stay healthy in every way, enjoy life, meditate .. focus on positive - WHAT WD FOCUS ON EXPANDS, noise, physical or emotional .. 💪❣️

Always great too hear someone who as tinnitus give there view I find in my country the UK. As not got as much as you in the USA .
Im 61 always loved my music im sure i damaged my hearing but im suffering chronic pain from fusions also so im double whammed
This is absolutely invaluable information. Thank you. It gives one hope and a plan to follow.
Excellent. You're welcome.
When your guest talks about stress she is really talking about the autonomous nervous system which responds to nutrition, exercise, audio input, thoughts, and meditation via responses in cortisol level which is a reason why tinnitus can be louder in the early morning when cortisol levels rise naturally. There is also a genetic or epigenetic link in that there are differences between type A personalities and others linked to electrolyte balance with this type of personality is more likely to have stress-based tinnitus though it impacts all forms due to the role of electrolytes in the electrical signaling of nerves. This makes nutrition and epigenetics one of the more important factors in controlling tinnitus and in this respect involves the gut microbiota too.
Exercise make a HUGE difference. Especially compound exercises, squats, pull ups, chin ups, shoulder lifts etc.
For me, it seems to not work immediately after but a few days later it’s a huge difference.
When the body gets used to the exercise it’s gonna cause all the muscle tension to relax and loosen. So do exercise three days a week.
Thank you for this. My tinnitus started 1 week after I got my second jab and hasn't gone away after 5 months. I have long thought they were related...
Sorry you are experiencing this. I hope you are managing it well.
So sorry for you.
Same here. It’s been 5 weeks for me. What a disaster. I would have rather had Covid.
I have had tinnitus for years and years and really didn’t notice any significant change to the hell that is 24/7 hissing like one of those old fashioned radiators. I did, however notice some random ringing in the same ear in addition to the hissing but can’t really decide if it had anything to do with my vaccines. I hope that yours will be temporary. It is a pain to live with for sure.
@@danreich4320 😢 same here. I read between first and second jab that people will tinnitus can have issues. I spoke to the doctor and he said “completely safe”. Anyway, just a few days later I noticed louder ringing, then after a week or so I had an ear infection and it’s been way louder ever since. I’m really devastated to be honest, I would rather catch covid.
I just made mine worse, at Coachella, not being near speakers and with earplugs the whole time. Sucks. No more risking it.
Thank you both for sharing this useful information
Glad it was helpful! You're very much welcome.
Excellent podcast. Thank you Dr. Thompson and Dr. Cook. I learned so much from you both and it gives me hope that there may be tools I can possibly use to try to live more comfortably with my tinnitus instead of feeling like I am going crazy with this constant high pitch sound.
I hope so too! Thanks for appreciating the video. Glad that you enjoyed it.
i have the same high pitch beep sound 24*7
I'm been experiencing tinnitus for over a month now. Tinnitus didn't start until after my 1st episode of vertigo subsided. When vertigo subsided; saw audiologist & ENT Dr - a week later vertigo stopped (yay!); 3-4 days AFTER seeing audiologist (got hearing test done) & saw ENT after seeing them tinnitus started & now it's been over a month. Level of stress has not changed from prior to having 1st vertigo episode. I've tried everything.... decreasing sodium intake on daily basis; listening to the tinnitus relief sounds; relaxation techniques; winding down at least 2 hours/ day. NOT to sound or present as a victim...i've reached the point of just being hopeless w having ANY kind of progress of tinnitus/ decrease of the high pitched ringing in my ear. Grateful tinnitus is only in one ear....it's constant 24/7; no moments of intermission where there's NO tinnitus. Any recommendations on how to decrease the intensity of the pitch or any type of meds or exercises??

Great podcast thank you Dr. Ben and Dr. Rachel so helpful and comforting to my mental health yes so much wisdom ❤
You're so welcome, Magda. Be well.
Yes. Absolutely. I had eustachian tube obstruction on my right side, leading me to the loss of hearing "bass" in my right ear. Then I was referred to a "TMJ dentist", who ended up dislocating my jaw, leading to tinnitus and hearing loss in my left ear. Apparently it's called "somatic tinnitus due to cochlear synaptic hearing loss". Good news: Susan Shore's device may help. I'm also hoping that you are tracking the development of BDNF and Neurotrophin treatments. My Neurotologist tried it on guinea pigs in my city, but said that the molecular weight of BDNF was too high to diffuse through the round window, so it must be injected directly through it, otherwise no results will be see. I also have a "mild" hearing loss in the normal range in my left ear, but to me, it's immense. Now, both eustachian tube are swollen, so I have to lip read. My hearing improves slightly when the swelling goes down, but the tinnitus does not. It's too much. Posture, jaw, permanent damage. Everything plays a role. I'm now taking Citalopram so I don't go insane. My condition was stable for 10 years, thanks to only 2 weeks of Nortriptyline, but has gotten worse as of August 2020. The pandemic ruined my posture due to slouching at home. My tinnitus now distorts sounds and voices, so I only get peace when the room is silent.
Another uplifting video
My ENT doctor simply told me that I am losing my hearing, that I would be a good candidate for hearing aids, and good luck getting them because Medicaid doesn't cover them. Then they handed me my hat and showed me the door. I've had this for a long time. There are no level 2 days or 3 days. it's constant unless I'm standing next to a freeway the level is constant, very loud, very disruptive. Nobody ever diagnosed me with any of those three categories so I don't know which one I am. I also went to loud concerts and stuff when I was young, but I was also a legal secretary and did dictation alldayeveryday for years.
You're right Ben the online forums are so full of negativity so I don't go on there anymore . I love these videos.
Thanks, Garry! :)
What a great interview! Such helpful information for those of us suffering. Thank you 🙏

My tinnitus developed from fluid in my ears after a viral infection. I had it before, and it habituated. Then I went through another viral infection, fluid in my ears, and my tinnitus spiked badly. Now I have to habituate again. I hope this is not repeated over the years. I don't want to get a bad spike every time I get a viral infection :(
Yes indeed. Another great episode. I sure hope my tinnitus doesn't increase. Mines probably a 2 now. I put on my air purifier at bedtime to mask the sound. Really need to go to the mall for those Chinese ladies for a neck massage. My feet get cold too. A chiropractor suggested an Iridoligist who I emailed. May see her soon.
Thank you for the comment. We are glad to know that our videos have helped you. Good luck on your appointment.
How are going Jeffrey? Did it stay as you wished?
I want to thank you both for your time and help, I have a Bad case of this screaming in both ears, tonight it is from 1 to 10 it is at a 15.. I also have TMJ also the back right side of my neck hurts so bad, my worry is will this sound get so loud that I can't hear anything but crickets on Meth, sorry but I am so worried and starting to freek.. been going on for 6months.. thank you . James Howell
Sorry to hear that, James. We are hoping that you'll feel better soon. Be well.
I can only watch in jealousy that there are so many audiologists specializing in tinnitus in USA. Here in Singapore, can hardly find one who is very experienced in dealing with tinnitus. Even if we do find one who claims he does, it’s expensive and the sound generators are so costly making tinnitus patient like me shy away from the treatments
I wish Dr. Cook was in my area or anywhere in my state I would definitely go see her! Great interview!
Thank you!
So glad I discovered this channel.
Excellent. Thank you!
I just purchased Signia ax. Not help with the ringing
Great information! Thanks!
Our pleasure!
I am a 67 year old man who drove truck for 30 years. I have had tinnitus for 2 years, coinciding with my retirement from work. Hearing is good, it just started after I developed pre-diabetes and is mostly left side. I've been on a keto/ low carb lifestyle for a year, lost 52 lbs and feel great. The tinnitus persists but I now regard it as an old friend, to the extent that silence now seems foreign to me. Vlogs such as yours are helpful, but confirm my feelings that modern medicine doesn't have a frickin' clue about nutrition or real human health. The road to hell IS paved with good intentions, sponsored by Big Pharma..
I agree now, I had a lot of faith in science and the medical system and the wonders that await in the future. Obviously there are huge improvements in things like surgery, pregnancy, treatments, drugs and so forth but overall there’s still so many maladies that have no solution. Tinnitus should be way further ahead than “no cure, just deal with it”.
Have you ever heard of earwax being removed with a Dr’s (scrape) tool causing tinnitus? That’s me. Probably because I’m 6 months recovering from GBS. I wish I never told him to remove some of my wax. 😢
Thank you for your testimony
Thanks for sharing your story, Rachael!
Thanks for watching!
I have horrible high level hissing in my right ear. I have had it for decades. I have severe TMJ and so I do believe that this might be related but I have it in both sides of my jaw but the tinnitus is predominantly in my right ear. I am trying to figure out who to go see about it but most of these videos basically say there is nothing more to do about it. I think stress exacerbates it but it is always there. Plus many doctors who look in my ears say the same thing - ‘wow, you have lots of scaring on your eardrums’ and this is due to numerous ear infections as a child. I wonder if this played into it. I have a hobby that I love that helps with stress but seriously I just stop thinking about the hissing but it is still there,.
Gosh I’m sorry, that sucks ☹️
About 2.5 months ago out of nowhere, I woke up one morning with ringing in my ears, mostly my left, and very dull hearing. 2 day later it was very loud ringing, and almost no hearing in my left ear. After many visits to many drs I was told that it was a viral infection that could have been treated with prednisone in the first 4 weeks bit if after that it would not be effective. They finally tried that but at week 5 with no results. Audiology results show about 15 % left in my left ear and 65% in my right.. but they said that I probably already had hearing loss but never knew it.. I am at such a loss not, I am dizzy AF as soon as I stand up, like I am on a rocking boat.. and limited sleep due to the ringing, maybe 3 hrs a night. And the same as her the headaches are grueling daily... I am at such a loss!
How are things going so far?
How are you now? I’ve had mild tinnitus for 27 years but had vaccine, quickly followed by an ear infection in my right ear, followed by much louder ringing in both ears. For 3 weeks I barely got a wink of sleep. Now taking temazapan just to get some sleep, but worries once I go off them I won’t be able to sleep at all again. I know I will habitude at some stage but I just hope it gets better somehow.
Some days go by better, bit for the most part the ringing is borderline unbearable. The dizziness comes and goes with no rhyme or reason. I have come to notice if I move my eyes before I move my head there is less dizziness like when I am driving and come to stop signs. Same thing as far as meds go, I am on diazepam which I guess is suppose to calm me down. Then I take 2 or 3 otc sleep aid pills. But if I wake up too soon in the night there is little chance to fall back to sleep.
You may want to see if it’s vestibular migraines. The additional symptoms of vertigo and headaches seem to match that disease.
@@kathleen9456 not vertigo, it was more luje a side to side swaying.. here I am almost a year later, the dizziness is gone, deafness is to stay and the tinnitus is raging as bad as day one.
I still blame GnR front row like she did with Coachella. This was very helpful.
Just came across this, I have had mri and came back fine. I suffer with profound hearing loss in my right ear and left ear is sensorineural moderate loss, I have unilateral tinnitus and asymmetry, I have balance issues and use a stick to prevent me from falling, I can’t wear a hearing aid in my good ear as I have had pinna perichondritis which is very painful, I prefer not to wear my aid, try to hear what is left in that ear. I have seen a massive change in my hearing in the last 6 months, due for a test shortly.
Mine is too. It's taxting
My tinnitus was far & few between until I had a VNG test for vertigo. They forced air into my ears. Now it rings all the time. How do I get trapped air out?
love treble health
Thank you for this video. I have had tinnitus 24/7 for decades and thought it was something i just had to deal with. I have moderate high frequency hearing loss and TMJ. Currently i am treating the hearing loss. For the most part, I’m aware of my tinnitus and it becomes bothersome when i have loud spikes that affects my ability to understand speech. I would be interested in reading the progressive tinnitus management handbook but can’t seem to find the correct link online. Could you please provide which link you are referring to? Thanks again
My tinnitis was caused by IV antibiotics i received years ago. I'm under the impression since this was a chemical nerve injury that there nothing that will help. I'd love to learn if there's any hope for relief.
Thank you Doctors
Great Pod cast
Thank you, Richard!
Thank you!

I live in in Tasmania Australia. My son suffers tinnitus and has as long as he can remember. Who should I see to identify how his tinnitus developed and how to treat it? Doctors just say nothing can be done.
Hi Ms Bramble, feel free to contact our team via email and we can do our best to help you. Our email is contact@puretinnitus.com
I am also in Tasmania, I’ve had mild tinnitus for years, wasn’t super annoying but sometimes it would bother me but recently after 2’nd Pfizer shot it got a lot louder and life has been tough since then. I hope I can habitude ASAP but it’s going to be a struggle. I think as far as help, people like me and your son will probably have to go to Melbourne or Sydney. I want to deal with someone who has a lot of experience with tinnitus. I’m even thinking about seeing a chiropractor, just out of desperation.
@@pct2025 I am sorry to hear that Mark. Thank you for making contact. At the moment my son says it is not a big deal but he has not known any different. He says the ringing is constant and prefers constant noise to mask the ringing and he has trouble going to sleep when it is quiet. I also thin it may be affecting his ability to focus and listen. Yes it seems both covid and the vaccines are causing so many strange symptoms. My son is not getting the shot as for kids the benefits are negligible after a cost benefit analysis based on the available data. Since the vaccines don't stem the spread of Omicron at all the social responsibility argument is out the window. Have you reported your side effects to the reporting body as i do not think the doctors do that, it would be up to you?
I developed tinnitus after mri with contrast two months ago . 24/7 . Hearing test is normal . Does it means my problem is in the brain ? I believe the electromagnetic field fires up my neurons bc I’m having fasciculations and pins and needles all over my body since then too . Doctors are clueless.

My doctor prescribed antihistamine and a mucous decongestant. Why? Can sinus problems cause this condition. Nothing makes sense to me. I seem to have all the causes discussed too. Should I consult a ENT or an audiologist.
Hard to answer without knowing your in-depth history. Reach out to one of our professionals and I'm sure we can help get you on the right track.
This has been very helpful..will definitely check out the Progressive Tinnitus Management handbook. My tinnitus started after a pain on the right side of my head in March of 2020( right when the first cases of Covid started in my country) that progressed to an "ear ,nose ,throat & eventually chest infection " since then I have had a multitude of tests including several blood tests , ear cleaning (by a super loud & invasive machine, audiology tests ,x-rays & an M.R.I but am being told " nothing is wrong " it's been nearly 2 years & it's getting progressively worse..most of the time I can't even sleep because the pitch is so high & loud. ENT doctors have all but washed their hands of me & I don't know what to do. In having said that ,I have noticed pain in my TMJ region & neck & upper thoracic spine ..again ,x-rays show nothing 🤷
Good luck and keep us updated. Be well, four tails.
Hey! Is drinking alcohol once in a while okay for tinnitus? Please share anyone. Advice would be helpful.
Hi Amrita, we have another video dedicated to this subject. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/sygwHIsfbME/видео.html
I have really sensitive hearing plastic bag rustling can make it feel like my ears going to bleed.
4 weeks ago had sudden total hearing loss in left ear hearing slowly improved not back to previous level but developed tinnitus average noise level is 7/10...constantly present, the associatiated nausea awful.
Exactly with me. My hearing hasnt changed slight hearing loss because when i was younger i went to too many concerts without protection. Then went through a period of intense stess and anxiety clenching my teeth too. So all three probably the reason for ky major spike. My question is if that's the case can this spike last for months and can it go back to baseline??
Yes, it definitely can! We'd be happy to help you get back to your baseline. Schedule a complimentary telehealth consultation: treble.health/consultation
I genuinely don’t believe that it goes down to a zero, mine goes from like a 6 to a 2 in moments but it’s generally a 4
I’ve been suffering for at least ten years now during the day it’s fine but night time around 4am it wakes me up and it’s so loud anyone got any ideas it would help so much.
Yes. This is therapy for me.

u may take sleeping medicine for initial days.. it will prevent u from sleepless nights, anxietyfull nights and headaches next day... slowly u will get hibuated and can taper sleeping med. sleeping pill is recommended only for a short duration, since it has it's own side effect of developing tolerance and neurological effects. aim is to get some sleep till u get habituated n not to depend upon sleeping pills.
in my case, I tried to take sleeping pill only at alternate nights.. this way, one night went into struggling to habituated and second night to cover up the pending sleep.. slowly, I started getting the sleep on the nights when i didnt take medicine..ot reduced to once in 3 days, later to once in 4 days, finally I left sleeping pills...now, I haven't taken any sleeping pill over 3 months in my 6 month journey..

Tinnitus perception varies from person to person.
I agree.
I got pulsatile tinnitus two months after having a 4th nerve palsy that gave me double vision. I've read that tinnitus can be part of the palsy? Does pulsatile tinnitus ever go away?
It can sometimes go away.
