#Tinnitus 
Хобби
When i got my noice induced tinnitus, i also developed hyperacusis. It was hard feeling the pain when my children were laughing too loud.
Now after 14 months, my tinnitus has backed up far away in the backround. My hyperacusis however has dissapeared completely.
I don't know if i should recommend it for others, but i think it worked for me. Not avoiding noise. I work in a restaurant. And after getting my hyperacusis i was pretty afraid of going back to work as restaurants can be very loud places.
It was actually the first day back when a coworker dropped a few dishes. The pain in my head was horrible but i knew it would happen again and that i couldn't quit my job. And of course it happened again and again and again.
And here comes the interesting thing. The more often i was confronted to those painfull noises (of course not painfull for average people) the more my ears seemed to readapt to them. It got less and less painfull with each week. I think my brain just needed some time (and some noise) to get back in line. Now the hyperacusis is gone completely.
Cheers
How do I know you're telling the truth?
Wow that's awesome, and I truly believe you, at the begining can be hard but once your ears and brain get use to it starts backing off little by little, around how long did it took you?
How did you get yours my friend?
Mines is likely caused by long term loud headphones and drumming. How stupid of me. Hopefully, I can make a full recovery
I think this is oddly right..
I habituated on my 7th month and there was times where my T was so low i could barely noticed it and now my T spiked up i was thinkin maybe its because i started wear my earwax earplugs which isolates from any sound i could barely hear anything from that earplugs..
I should start not wearing them from now on and we shall see..
Thanks for ur info btw..
Thank you Mr. Julian. Your videos have given me hope. As I too suffer from both tinnitus and hyperacusis.
I'm almost completely free from Hyperacusis but it feels nice to find someone else who understands just how physically painful it can be.
What did you do?
pleas , what did you do ?
Scammer
Your hyperacusis it’s completely and gone now ?
@@user-wq2hj4or7t He's lying
Thank you. Listening to your voice soothes me. I could listen to your videos all day. God bless you immensely for helping me feel better.
Thank you for making this video
Godbless you Julian. thanks a lot...
After seven months of tinnitus, vertigo and hyperacusis, in my case caused by a temporomandibular joint problem and amplified by anxiety, the simptoms have improved, especially those concerning hyperacusis. I can say that thanks to DAILY exercise and meditation, psychotherapy and rest, any sound that I previously experienced as unbearably threatening I now experience with absolute tranquility. I am unable to say whether this kind of training can help in every case of hyperacusis, but I would recommend trying a disciplined internal work. Be strong.
I healed myself from tinnitus too. Since I do power lifting 2 times a week and extensive cardio exercise, my balance improved and vertigo-ish symptoms disappeared by themselves. I know eating dairy can be a problem too.
A big thanks for this.. I've had to tinnitus for 20 and I got entirely used to it. But recently I've been making my own music on a computer and i used headphones a lot but i keep the levels moderate but i don't know what level is safe and what isn't. Over the last two weeks I've been making a song and i kept kept thinking that if i keep listening to music at this level for years I might get tinnitus, but last night i realised my tinnitus was louder and i got really upset. My hearing hearing is obviously very delicate from past exposure to noise at rock concerts.i was so used to my tinnitus i could meditate in a quite room and not hear it, but today i found it intrusive. When i think about it my tinnitus did definitely fade over the years ago so hopefully it will fade again. Your videos, Julian, have definitely cheered me up. Thank you very much.
Stay away from music and headphones
You are by far the most helpful source of help for the spike i am dealing with...thank you. Just watching your videos and your calming mannerisms helps me. I wish you were a therapist in Boston
I didn't know you also had problems with Tinnitus. I learned a lot from your programming videos. How bad do you have it? Mine is still pretty mild. We are both in this battle together.
Happy Bday Julian! Have a good one! Or should i say Mr. Hill
I, unfortunately, developed tinnitus, hyperacusis and vertigo after a covid booster jab. I could not believe that listening to a blackbird singing was giving me so much distress as I love birds so much. Eventually I found I could lisen to them again, I could wash up without needing to use plastic plates etc. I told myself that these noises are not going to harm me and that helped me get over it. I find that now just sometimes the sound of voices is painful, mainly womens with high pitch, not often though. So I would say that relaxing is the best way to help yourself. My tinnitus is still there and vertigo flares up occasionally but the tinnitus is on a much lower scale now and quite tolerable.
Thank you for your video, Julian. You seem to have a lot of experience on the subjects and I very much relate to the insights you share with us.
Exactly one year ago I experienced a SSHL (Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss) in my right ear, accompanied by a severe tinnitus. It was a dark night of the soul but I took the event as a chance to start listening (!) to what my body had to tell me.
In the meantime I was put on prednison, but combined it with vitamine supplements, a diet, reflexology techniques, meditation and grounding exercises, and succeeded to heal myself completely. The tinnitus is on a very acceptable level now but I still have hyperacusis. It teaches me a lot about my overall sensitivity and the way I process or don't process too much stimuli on many levels.
Keep up the good work! I think there are many among us that do support this.
How bad was your hearing loss and did it recover fully? 6 days in for me with severe hearing loss and high priced constant tinnitus...
Please update how you’re doing?
@@blancacasillas8226 Hi, thanks for your reaction ;-) I am still fine! Hyperacusis is very low, but still quite sensitive to sounds. Tinnitus is on a very very low level, hardly noticeable. I still don't know how that is possible. I think it has a lot to do with stress. What helped me in my healing journey was to massage the inner ear acupressure point a few times a day. You can research the location. I found different results, I used the spot that is 'one finger' away/next to the ear lobe. But it seems there is another one on top of the ear.
About a year ago I was noticing that, when quiet (eg in bed or when meditating) I was easily startled by the slightest noise. I didnt think too much of it, chalking it up to another weird anxiety/stress symptom, but about 5 months ago I developed full blown hyperacusis (after a period of intense anxiety and eventually depression). It is now 50-75% better, partly in a sense of habituating to it but for sure the physical symptoms have overall lessened. I have good days and bad, but overall more and more better days, include some where I can go into a cafe or walk around the streets and I dont really notice it at all. For me, part and parcel of the hyperacusis was the depression, derealization and overall hyperactivated nervous system.
Everyone is different but what seemed to work was using pink/white noise (ear buds or headphones) and ear plugs at first... but gradually weaning off of these. Now I hardly ever use ear plugs, except when I know it may be very loud. Psychotherapy, antidepressants, exercise, progressive muscle relaxation. meditation and cranio-sacral therapy were all also part of the mix and remain so. As Julian says...any type of body-based work. I also would just "plow through" with watching videos. It was interesting that if I listened to music on headphones when tired or down-regulated, it was very harsh and painful. But if I listened whilst walking or on the exercise bike etc. (or in a good mood) it wasn't really an issue. Seems the symptoms would be very much related to other factors like energy and activation of my body. This is still the case at times.
I am extremely grateful to you Julian for your encouragement, wisdom and advice. While your app focuses mostly on tinnitus (which I also developed but only minorly and it was the first to calm down), there is a lot of value for hyperacusis sufferers too. I especially appreciate your advice to stay away from negative groups or any types of negative thinking, where people are really struggling and may even say that there is "no cure" etc. Perhaps there is no cure, but in my case at least its a mind-body thing, just way too active a nervous system especially above the neck :) So there is no purely physical or "structural" problem to begin with i.e. no "cure" is needed. Not at all saying its all in my or your heads folks! The symptoms are real and awful. Just to say there is definitely hope and staying positive can be your best medicine. Stay patient and take care.
My H was pre Tinnitus, and I still have it, for 11 years now. Ive always been anxious, depression, stress since i can remember. On the top of that i was a musician with abusive loudness here and there
Thankyou Julian for your upload, it makes sense, the knife in the sink is a noise that would do my head in as well, but 2 days ago,, bang it got worse, for year my left ear was sensitive but this is different, I havent had any head trauma or water in my ears, but have had stress seeing as Ive reduced antidepressant medication Ive the past few years.
I wonder if adrenal fatigue could affect the ears this way, Ive done coffee enemas for 9yrs daily almost and stopped recently and this weekstarted doing them, stopped for the last two days and wont do them again, but they say they re hard on the adrenals, seeing as I suffer from anxiety I should be doing them anyway just did them to detox and yes they become addictive, it makes sense what you say about calming your system down, wise words.
Ur voice is so soothing. Wish everyone spoke like you. But sadly I work with super loud people with no respect.
@dog person Maybe not that, just people who are ignorant to what hyperacusis is.
I agree this man is like an anti depressant
You are an Earth Angel.
May your Angels guide you and guard, always.
Julian , I have Tinnitus left Ear, Jet Engine Ringing . Also Hyperacusis Right and left Ears , Only When l Move My Head From Right To left . I'm looking Cranial therapy in my Area . Thank You Again ! Great And Helpful Video . 👍👂🍀☺️. Pete.
Thank you so so much for this...how about people who trigger all the time? Some advice? Thanks a lot
I think Hyperacusis is strongly related to TMJ, and TMJ is strongly related to tinnitus. Biting down in your sleep, grinding your jaws, day in and day out, over the years, if you haven't developed ways of dealing with the stress, catches up. The Tinnitus is the end result of overworked ear muscles maybe?
when u grind ur jaw during the day that means u are anxious and stress.
im training myself on not to grind my teeth..
I think it's more likely related to noise-induced cochlear damage.
I think you may be right
How to cure hyperacusis
Hi Julian, im following your videos for quiet a while now. Your approach of dealing with T and H gives me a lot of hope. I’m 22 years old and have been dealing with tinnitus for 8 years. Three years I got hyperacusis. Because of this video I started some cranial work, because I didn’t feel any chances I stopped after 5 sessions. I know it is all about getting your nervous system down and maybe there is something else than cranial work that is better for me or I just need to find a better cranial therapist. I wanted to ask u how long you’ve been dealing with Hyperacusis? I believe as mine has been here for three years, only in one ear, it has become chronic. I just hope, that one day I find a way to calm my nervous system down like you have done. My T and H get worse every year. Your videos give me hope, thank you.
Sorry to hear about your struggle with T. Please find a hands-on therapist who can relax your face, jaw and ear area. There are so many brilliant body-based therapies so maybe it would be best for you to find out who is local to you and go and try them out. Anything that relaxes you and that takes your mind off the ringing is very helpful. Please practice daily facial massages and try out the techniques on my app: www.quietenapp.com All the things there have helped people with tinnitus get better. find what works for you. Wishing you a steady recovery. Julian
how are you?
Julian! today i found for the first time your videos, i cant tell you how amazing it is to have one person who understands and most important beliefs it can change. Tinnitus has changed my life, been to 7 doctors no one has an answer or a cure. Almost a year of this, the worst is that no one undestands me or gets how annoying it can get. Anyway i will start with self awareness and maybe yoga and meditation this month (see how this works). What would be your first advice for me ?
Thank you so much for making a difference in this area!!!
dont know how much it means!!!!
( btw i live in peru)
Have craniosacral therapy once a week and practice the focussing techniques here:

Wow that’s me I thought I was settling but I get these symptoms
What should I do
Thank you for your amazing videos. I have a question. I have been dealing with chronic anxiety, depersonalization and depression for many years, with many mind-body "physical" manifestations of the over-sensitized nervous system...and more recently have also developed hyperacusis (yeah..). No tinnitus, at least not in a significant way. I'm working on calming my nervous system and working with a psychotherapist on emotional awareness and CBT aimed to address the hyper-focus on symptoms. My question is whether use of "white noise" generators are helpful too (as I found some testimonials that it has helped). I realize its not a "structural" problem, I get it, but maybe the white noise can also help with de-sensitizing over time. Just wondering what you think about this... Thank you and much gratitude for your very useful videos. even though they are mostly aimed at tinnitus, I think it is very similar and helpful too with hyperacusis pain.
Using sound to help can be useful but eventually we need to normalise our lives. Watching a good film or listening to a good audiobook or radio station can be much better because if you are interested then this will help your hearing focus. Instead of listening to your ears, you are listening to something interesting out there which is good for your hearing.
@@JulianCowanHill Thank you :) Indeed I am using white noise (actually "pink noise") at the moment for a couple hours of the day but also listening to music and movies etc at safe levels. As I am kinda in the "freeze" mode now I find the low background noise (with good headphones) helps minimize the worst of the "startled pain" response but also recognizing the need to normalize once I have down-regulated a bit out of this current mode. I have the Quicken app now and see that almost all of the techniques (eg body awareness) are relevant to hyperacusis too. Plus the physcohtherapy (incl. EMDR) and Qi Jong and exercise and other self-care mlike mindful self-compassion. Thanks again for supporting me taking a positive attitude. I'm not sure really what to work on first - depersonalization or deeper traumas - but I'm not sure it matters as long as I'm engaging in processing this all and in doing so down-regulating the nervous system. Cheers
Can I have a hug
Greetings Julian , I Have Hyperacusis in Both Ears , From I Believe Stressing My Self Out Since My Tinnitus Discovering Bout In Early December 2021 , It Gets Much Worse At Bedtime . I'm Going To Check If Yale Has A Program For Cranial Therapy .Best Wishes , And Health ! Pete .
Good luck with finding a CST. Please can you do the evening face massage on my app in level one techniques: www.quietenapp.com Remember that the face and jaw are directly linked to the auditory system, so if you practice calming self-soothing in this area it can help bring down the hypersensitivity and reactivity of your hyperacusis. Also overall settling of the nervous system in a gentle yoga session can help this calm over time too. You can find CSTs here by the way; www.craniosacraltherapy.org/practitioner-search
Wishing you well, Julian
Hi Julian!I'm a 24 year old make from Ireland with severe Hyperacusis and moderate Tinnitus.I have a host of symptoms which are as follows
:Tight pressure burning pain in the back of my head(trigeminal neuralgia)
:My brain gets a shock from sudden noises that runs down my spine
:Headaches really bad after noise
:Ear pain and pressure
These all come on after being around noise,I've been checked medically and have no issues to and have no recorded hearing loss.
My Tinnitus and Hyperacusis started from noise exposure,I'm starting Chi-Kung with the known Kevin Barry in a few weeks but do you think all these symptoms can be eleviated through your technic?Thanks.
Yes. Sounds like you are temporarily stuck in freezing response or overwhelm. Cranial work or body-based therapy work may help you come out of this. If you are interested you could read Peter Levine's book "Waking The Tiger" which is all about healing trauma and what happens when we come out of freezing response and fight or flight. When you process this and feel safe and settled again all this reactivity can calm down. Best wishes Julian
@@JulianCowanHill Sir I am from India ..I am having Hyperacusis.. what to do ???
Please download my app for lots of techniques and informative talks on how to help this. The approaches to hyperacusis are the same as for tinnitus. www.quietenapp.com/ hope this helps. Best wishes Julian
@@manojitsaha795 hey bro how you are doing now
Where does "Reactive Tinnitus" fall into all of this. Is it just a result of Hyperacusis? If Hyperacusis backs off, will Tinnitus become less reactive at the same time? I don't feel physical pain from sounds, but certain sounds make my T react and raise in volume instantly. For example, rain, white noise, running water, ice machines, driving a car, bacon on a frying pan. Basically anything that used to mask my tinnitus is now a trigger. Sudden sounds like a fork falling on the ground does make me jump out of my skin. But it does not cause me physical pain.
Hi, I have something similar to you, I have no pain but sounds like fridges and air conditioning is just a distorted loud noise.i had hyperacusis at the start of tinnitus but got rid of it but it's back now, I think due to stress
Hello any update?? I’m going through the same thing after louse noise exposure.
Do you have to do a desensitisation Julian or will hyperacusis calm down on its own. I read that pink noise was helpful. Would like to know your views.
Good question.
I'm going to try this. I can't afford TRT sadly. But I want to get better. I refuse to allow hyperacusis run my life when it has barely even begun.
Julian do you suggest Meditation and things of such to just calm the nervous system?
Use and mp3 player look for the book I cured my tinnitus by Peter Studenik you will apend about 50 dls so I am doing everything I can watching Liam Bohem, Juliam and Peter somehow we will have to beat this hell we are in...
How are yoy
the recommendations at the end of the video are the key and that is 1 key that falls off my ring to much.
Doesn’t hypercausis mean inner ear damage
Have you seen the videos from Dr Herbert Silverstein on his oval/round window surgery for Hyperacusis? This seems to be HUGE for us sufferers...its a very simple procedure with basically no recovery time....if you are a candidate. He has a video here on youtube as well as on his website. I would check it out....If mine doesn't settle down I will be heading to Florida to see him!
Sounds interesting. Hope it helps. Best wishes
Julian
for Hyperacusis you say, not Tinnitus, Have you looked into this as of yet ?
Anyone had the surgery?
I wouldn't suggest his treatment (Silverstein's). It seems like more or less a glorified earplug. Which isn't getting to the root of the problem.
Did you get it done
Greetings Julian , I Ended Up With Hyperacusis 6 Months After Discovering My Tinnitus Early December , 2021 Ringing .

Hi Julian, do you have an email address I can reach you on? I've an ear problem that I think may be this (kinda has similar synthoms). I've been to specialists and they cannot seem to find what the issue is. I'm hopeing you could let me diagnose it. Thanks
Not qualified to give medical diagnoses but I am happy to talk to you about your symptoms and common patterns with tinnitus people. Please email me on
info@juliancowanhill.co.uk
hey Julian !, I have had tinnitus for about 4 months and it is horrible , but I finally found out the underlying cause of my tinitus I that I have a condition called osteoclerosis so the problem is in my middle ear ,and since I have conducting hearing loss the doctor say I can recover my hearing with suergeory but would not take away tinnitus, so I don't know what to do ! what would you recommend
Physical problems a common triggers for tinnitus. But the tinnitus itself is a neuronal condition. You could think of it like an activation that is still cycling in your system. This can be settled in my experience. I still recommend craniosacral therapy. You can find a local practioner here:
www.cst.eu.com
or
www.craniosacraltherapy.org/practitioner-referral
I would also recommend massaging the inner ear acupressure point.
What can help to get rid off hyperacusis? What is craniosacral therapy. Will u pls make a video on carniosacral therapy & how one can perform it. Pls it's a request
Hi Megha, I really hope you see this…how are you now?
Thank you so much for this Video Julian.. now if anyone were to ask I can have you explain thru this video, how it helps is that when I have explained this to family they just judge me a fool. So now they except this thing called Hyperacusis or they continue without thinking. Peace.
Dear Tin Man, thanks for your feedback. Its hard when other people just add to suffering instead of helping. Having been through years of hyperacusis I know what you are going through. Saying someone is a fool because they are suffering is a really interesting reaction. What's going on there? If they broke their leg and you starting calling them a fool wouldn't that be a bit strange, to put it lightly? Are they saying, we have no time for you. You need to be well and tend to us. How dare you be a burden? Or are they saying, we cannot cope with your suffering. We will pretend it doesn't exist and call you an fool? Whatever is happening (I'm curious!) please look after yourself and protect yourself from this negativity. It may be helpful to find some compassionate people who are caring and concerned for your well-being, instead of snuffing you out like an irritation! Good luck to you. Warm regards Julian
Hi Julian,, thank you for the reply... yes I would imagine it has to do with trust issues or who knows,, just family :) always around. I'm working hard again on my minds attitude and that helps. Great work as always Sir...

Hi Julian my bf he’s have hyperacusis almost 1 year already and the painful it’s come back again.
Do you have how to manage painful in ears to went away
Thank you so much 🙏
Are you Indian sister
Can the fluid behind my ear possibly be causing my nose sensitivity I have no pain
It can create irritability but the noise sensitivity comes from the central nervous system.
How to heal hyperacusis
Does Qigong practice help with tinnitus ?
yes! also research "vata dosha yoga", shiradhara therapy and use Neuromodulation to get your mind off of it, generalfuzz.net/acrn/
You may have something, but I can’t live in your world, thanks Julian
Please someone help suddenly I woke up yesterday and couldnt stand the vibrations of my own voice, kids were shutting doors which sounds like loud slamming, my left ear is super sensitive, any small sound is amplified, the scooterthat just passed our home felt as though it just passed through my head, I went to the hospital and after checking to see the doc said it seems like Hyperacusis the causes could be Tinnitus, hearing loss where the brain compensates by making the other ear more sensitive, damage to ear or brain, migraines, Menieres disease, Bells palsy, depression/PTSD, Addisons disease (kidney), Brain disorders such as williams syndrome or autism.
I dont think I have any of these although I was given Paxil (anti depressant) 22yrs ago for a throbbing in the left ear (and pins and needes on the left side of my head)due to massive stress I was going through, recently tapered down to 2.5ml (5mg) Ive been tapering down from 15mg a few yrs ago to this dose, Ive experienced much more stress anxiety and depression and proceeded to 'ride' the symptoms and stop taking the drug, I wonder if Ive blown a fuse literally.
The doc said you may have to learn to live with it, first see an Ear Nose Throat specialist and Audiology to see what they say.
Ive said to my wife over the past year that I cant take the stresses that Im under (reducing the meds, looking after dad who has severe arthritis in the knees and dementia and puts me down, 3 kids and regularly they have tantrums and shriek which makes me leave the room or cover my ears) I said I need to be alone away from all this my health is suffering, and now maybe my brain/ear has had enough, maybe I do need to get away and have some peace and quiet.
Please guys any advise will be very much appreciated, how do you guys deal with this? Ive only had this two days and think if I cant stop this Ill go nuts.
you have to go somewhere to be alone for at least a month, just have a good alone time, cozy herbal teas, good books, no stress, no phonecalls, no alarm clocks, it'll be fine dude relax
How are you doing now?
How are you now?
I've had tinnitus for 4 months, thankfully I habituated to tinnitus, but hyperacusis has been bothering me much more lately.
Are you any better now?
Hi Mr. Julian does this hyperacusis apply to all type of hyperacusis?
Yes it does.
Thank you for your reply. I’m practicing staying calm. You’re amazing!
Can Hyperacusis be caused by stress ?
MrPatch1967 how is hyperacusis diagnosed?
is hyper arousal linked to hyperacusis??
i lost my ability to nap since i developed tinnitu hyper acusis...
anybody here gets adrenaline when u try take a nap?
Yes. When we become anxious or stressed or fearful our nervous system becomes more sensitive which means feeling aches and pains more and experiencing the senses and thinking going bananas for a while!
Julian Cowan Hill thanks julian..
I am slowly understanding the details on tinnitus,hyper acusis,anxiety and stress..
Now its my turn to address these problems.
Thanks u for helping us sufferers..
Julian Cowan Hill
Did u experience some kind of “excessive thoughts” like your brain could not stop thinking about random stuff and it seems to ramp up ur nervous system..
Im am experiencing this at the moment..thanks in advance julian..
Yes definitely. When we get stressed out thoughts start racing and tend to dominate more. This is normal. When this happens we need strong distractions and calming practices to settle down again.
@@JulianCowanHill it could get quite hard to distract and to calm the body when u are overwhelmed and feel disconnected to urself..
im working hard on this and thanks again julian..
My tinnitus reacts with sound like if I hear the fan running or if I hear myself breathe it goes up why is this happening
Hallo from Greece! My Tiinnitus reacts too with the same way like yours! I don’t know why! Maybe someone can give us information about this symptom? Thank you!
@@antoniasakoulis4771 Hello! Any update?? Hope all is well
I meant to say Otosclerosis
This ,along with TRT and sound therapy are essential.
What is TRT?
you don't believe in the cure?
I have hyperacusis from 9 months
If you have Hyperacusis some people say always protect your ears at all costs and don't ever use sound therapy.
Others say use sound therapy (pink noise) but don't over use ear protection for normal day sounds/activities as it becomes more sensitive... Obviously in loud places use protection. What do we do? Example being here..:
"Wearing hearing protection making hyperacusis worse is a bullshit lie made up by TRT enthusiasts. You absolutely MUST protect your ears and be in silence to recover. Sound therapy makes hyperacusis worse. STOP doing sound therapy, PROTECT your ears as much as possible, AVOID loud environments at all costs, and most importantly give yourself time. The reason your hyperacusis is getting worse is because you aren't protecting enough".
Drew do you have hyperacusis? If so do you still have it or have you found healing treatments?
@@donmuraoka yes I do but I've found ways to counter it. You?
I think that if the hyperacusis is from a stressed out state and its not a "structural" issue then maybe some merit in the idea of not over-using protection for everyday sounds, and using pink noise in combo with the various ways of down-regulating the nervous system. I'm no expert but the info I have found seems to suggest that some kind of (careful)) exposure is helpful, since its not the sound itself but how we are processing it. I've find very little (compelling) evidence to suggest over-protection is the way. But obviously, avoiding loud environments (which is kinda good advice for anyone). Mine's getting a little better via calming work (massage, meditation, exercise) and using pink noise, as well as progressively exposing myself (eg listening to music at moderate levels). Once my mental state feels better, and I stop "looking for it" as much, this seems to reduce the hyperacusis.
Thank you for making this video
