Julian is the man I see and feel as my saviour, this mans influence on my own recovery can’t be overstated. I’m now living my life without hearing my own Tinnitus, sometimes it returns but rarely and when it does it’s at such a low level it no longer impacts on my life. Anyone new to Tinnitus please please listen to Julian’s advice. Best wishes to all.
GUYS IM HARI... I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY WHATEVER HE IS SAYING IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! Ppl don’t write about their positive stories bcuz after they are better they are careless ... BUT I, GOING TOSHARE MY STORY.. I HAVE GOTTEN COMPLETELY BETTER OVER JUST 2 months...it’s 99percent silent guys ... it’s easily possible ..u just ave to come out of flight and fight.. engage in other activities and forget about your hearing... do this and I swear I’ll get better like e guys .. one more thing I want to clarify .. there is nothing called silence ... even in total quiet environment we can hear sound our auditory system creates .. so don’t worry .. stuck on and like me u will surely get better .. don’t pay heed to your hearing 👍
how are you now bro? no relapse? i am still confused whether this T i've been having for 2 weeks is physical or pshycological. If it's psychological, then yes i believe anxiety will get us engaged in fight or flight system all the time. what if we are super calm and the T is still ringing? 🥲 (i am not being negative, just confused and scared with all of this new experience of having non stop T out of no where)
No your not being negative but truthfully you should get a complete hearing tests done abd blood work tinnitus is not a psychological problem who ever says that r very misleading just r wrong psychological problems can make it seem worse but no it's totally a physical issue
You said " it's 99 percent silent guys" it's easy possible??? Then u said nothing is total silence 🤫 maybe not total but your statements r not really accurate. And I'm willing to bet almost positive that you don't have a measurable hearing loss or impairment or it's very mild very mild iv been around and seen ppl whonhave real hearing iloss issues and they ate the 30 percent that have tinnitus to.gobwith the damage or losses these ppl that make comments that they experience silence for more than a few minutes or near that don't have the damage that someone who hears it almost or all the time this is the real facts no bs calm or or calm
@@yafet021 tinnitus is not a psychological problem but it can become that go see a good ent to rule out any diseases if there isn't any disease that's not related to hearing than sometimes a good therapist can help u
All doctors and especially ear nose throat need to listen to this incredible man. I’ve had T for years on and off and recently quite full on. I saw the e/n/t doc and was told what I imagined they would say - almost with a smirk - you know there’s nothing that can be done, right? That was ok I’d already got myself on a Julian inspired path, so used the diagnosis of light hearing loss as essential to know and left feeling totally fine. If I’d heard that before my research I would have been straight into fight or flight. Keep watching the positive stuff!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Julian. Doctors should learn a great lesson from you. PLEASE, DOCTORS, SHUT UP AND LISTEN! Tinnitus is like a body alarm. Everybody, please calm down and listen to your body. If there are no physical problems, just relax, you need time to heal from stress. First months are hell on earth, but it's going to be better, thrust me.
@@WNJOfficial First 2-3 months my tinnitus was very very bad and annoying. Now it's 6 months since I have tinnitus and it's going better. I still have it, but it' not a big problem any more. You need time to relax and habituate. I know how hard it can be. I Think you will habituate after couple of months, and hopefully completely get better after 6 months to 1 year. Don't be afraid, many people have this and live normaly. Stay strong. :)
@@treblehealth Then, thank you too. :) My 2 doctors scared me a lot. I was in big depresion. I hope you will help other people with this Julian advices. Also, I would like to hear what do you think and tell us about positive things. Greetings from me.
@@DDuran-ku2ig I am a tinnitus specialist in California. My main role as a therapist is to teach the patient use active psychological processes to reduce the hyper-sensitive stress response from negative reactions to tinnitus. I recently created a channel called Pure Tinnitus to share my offerings. Julian is a mentor of mine!
I got my tinnitus after I completely loss sound in my right ear from a middle ear infection in august of last year. the sound came back but it returned with tinnitus. a few weeks before I found you, it showed up in my left ear from me listening out for it and worrying about getting it in my left ear (crazy right?). all I can say is I’m beyond grateful for your existence. for the first time in months I woke up in a period of blissful silence. when I found your channel 2 weeks ago and saw how the majority of people who get tinnitus actually do recover, it gave me hope and even calmed it down right then and there. plus it changed my perception of tinnitus instantly. I started to look at it for what it is, not a threat but a stressometer, and started doing what I could to lessen the inflammation in the nervous system which is the root cause of all dis-ease in the body. I started meditating when I got the chance (in the shower, my room, while laying in bed, sitting in a chair, etc..) started directing my awareness to the body more. i got your app yesterday and did the clench and release exercise, which made me fall asleep so quickly. I woke up refreshed and in a brief moment of silence for the first time today. even the ringing is lower and more distant in silent areas. its starting to fade quickly and I love it. it was annoying for months. I started journaling my progress, I feel like it’ll be gone before spring or summer 😢💙
@@Aurelius4114 that's absolutely amazing. Thank you for replying. How did you do it? Just following Julian? I am making progress and it's slowly coming down... have come from a 10/10 to now a 1-2 out of 10, with the odd spike. It seems like a total dream to reach silence, so thank you for the hope :-)
@@JulesBeehive That's great news. That sounds like mine before it went altogether. Loads of ups and downs tons and tons of spikes towards the end that would last about 10 seconds. I dont exactly remember when it went as it wasn't bothering me anymore. I had all this other stuff happen when it went. Tremors, twitches, burning skin, aches and pains. Got loads of tests done and all came back clear. I guess it was all down to years of drink and drug abuse. What caused yours? Any idea?
I can attest to the fact that you can and do get better - much better - and this is from someone who thought there was no hope. It took a couple of years - and I also bought Julian's book to help me. You can recover - though it is something you have to continue to manage (stress, triggers, etc.). It can get so much better that you can hardly hear it (I won't say it's 100% gone, but almost). Best wishes and listen to Julian - he knows what he's talking about. You can also hire him to help you.
I think this is the best video I've seen you post Julian. This is the one I would link to anyone that has developed tinnitus, as it explains so much in such a concise way. I would like to add to this that self compassion is an important tool to deal with anxiety (after all - this is the enemy of tinnitus). Change your internal monologue to positive reinforcing what's good about you. It makes a real difference to see that in the end we are amazing people dealing with challenging stuff and *coping*. As soon as you have real love for yourself you start to see the inner turmoil diminish. Great positive video. Thank you. x
Extremely valuable video. every time thinking of doctors that have neutrally told me "sorry, you gotta have to live with it. there is no cure". get's me so upset. these people seriously don't know the harm they're doing.
Thank you so much. Since I have been following your advice I have had periods of silence and my tinnitus is much more under control. I have gone from unbearable shrieking 24/7 into lower tones and times where I do not notice it at all, even when trying to hear it. Bless you.
An absolute pleasure. Thank you so much for sharing. This is really positive and has a positive knock-on effect for others. Wishing you a steady ongoing recovery.
The first 3 weeks I had tinnitus it was level 2. I didn't even know what it was or what I had. When the doctor told me I had tinnitus and that there was no cure my tinnitus skyrocketed to level 8 overnight. This illustrates how powerful the "psychological factors" of tinnitus are. I believe tinnitus is 90% to 100% psychological in nature. In short, I believe tinnitus is a physical manifestation of stress.
Bs. It is not a psychological problem at all maybe for u it is bc if u had a actual hearing losses more than mild uwould know immediately its not a psychological issue at all and strees
@@LucyDenbowskimost people that have hearing loss does not have tinnitus, it may be not psychlogical in a sense its not real, it is real but it is started or worsened by it, the same way you can get alergies from stress
@@ProfessorTime most tinnitus is not from stress not if it's chronic these r facts many ppl r calm then wake up with intrusive tinnitus or head noise many cases the silence probably made the tinnitus more noticeable bc the hearing damage is signaling the part of the brain 🧠 to ramp up volume to compensate for the lost signals that your auditory system is missing etc butvwhy this happens to only a certain percent of ppl is still unknown this needs to seriously be studied
@@ProfessorTime many ppl notice their tinnitus when they awaken from sleep being anxious will make it worse but it won't stay that way butvtrue hearing damage can cause tinnitus even if your real calm proving its not a psychological issue not the chronic cases
Another amazing video from Julian. Believe me, every word he says IS TRUE. I recovered from Tinnitus using the well being model. This can apply to other health issues such as anxiety cfs/ me, fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Thank you Julian for all the work you do to help people recover. God bless you xx
I’ve been following you Julian for over a year now, brought your books and subscribed to your videos they have helped me so much. I’m learning to cope and self soothe. It’s been a year of self discovery. The tinnitus at the beginning was the most frightening and awful experience.i have ever had. I still have it but I’m able to switch off and get on with my life. Thank you for just your understanding and perception Most of all for been that someone who you can turn to when your in despair. It truly can back off. Thank you !
half a year in , just had 3 weeks of silence , came back not as loud , and today it's been silent most of the day kind of on/off right now Julian is speaking wisdom from experience and his guidelines stopped me from panicking and helped me understand, among other things that it's stress related , so going easy on your body , getting good amounts of sleep, avoiding unnecessary arguments with family , etc , they all play a factor
I don't necessarily think of silence as 'better'. Sorry to repeat it, but for years it really had no connection to me. Every once in awhile I'd notice it there, but for ages it just didn't click in. Think of it this way, you live in a suburb close to a main highway. As long as you live in that house you NEVER will get away from teh sound of traffic. Sometimes its more, sometimes its less but its always there, and ALL those people 'suffer' with it more than some with tinnitus. The suffering part is when your brain is triggered. To my mind getting 'better' is not having that triggered. Ironically I was joking with my wife that we moved to a rural area but were still fairly close to a main highway so at night I always heard cars. I was used to it though, so it didn't bother me. I got sick and for some reason the tinnitus trigger went off and it bugged me again, and weirdly enough the traffic from the highway stopped! Just when it would have come in handy as white noise! C'est la vie. But its two weeks and I'm already back to not being bothered by it at least 97% of the time. Not that I WANT it, but for the most part its no different than the people that live by a highway. And just imagine those who live by an airport or railroad!:) PS, my wife did say she had it for a couple of days, then it went away or else she stopped listening for it.
Mine is a long story but essentially I have gone from really loud T in one ear to complete silence except now and again at night in bed. Total silence in the day though. 2.5 years in total with loads of ups and downs. Stopped thinking about it after a while. Deep down i knew it was being created by me and for that reason i knew i coukd uncreate it and slowly it stopped bothering me. only then did it start getting better. more time went by and then it went from very low to silent once I started the carnivore diet and working out. Stress, inflammation, adrenal fatigue, lack of sleep and a very negative internal monologue started it all and reversing all that stopped it. Also the above comment is spot on! What happened before it got better was it didn't trigger my emotions anymore. It went from extreme fear inducing to just a thought in my head. Hard to explain but once that happened I really didn't care if it stayed or went. Its like it went from occuoying 90% of my head to a distant 1% somewhere over there where i didnt care about. That was before the volume lowered too. The only reason I went full on with the diet etc. Is because I had a ton of other physical symptoms. All have which have gone now. All the best!
@@Aurelius4114 Good on you, although I don't want people to think that they have 'failed' if they try certain things and it doesn't help. Mine is from a physical injury, same with lots of people. It doesn't go away, but yes, you can stop 'listening' for it, thats what I meant by 'getting better'. But everybody is different and Tinnitus is different in everybody.
My tinnitus was largely psycic and part somatic. Anti-depressants (Brintellix) cured my depression, and with it, my anxiety. When that went, so did 50% of the tinnitus. Somedays I can bearly hear it, other days it's only mildly annoying. So - check your mental health!
THANK YOU Julian!!! 💗💗💗. I was losing my dearest with Tinnitus (after a head injury, plus passing of my dad within days) to the negative bunk of doctors, plus the vampiric Internet Negative Nellie insistent victims...this video explained the positive mindset of Well Being needed to recover (vs the common No Cure nonsense). You’re a LIFE SAVER! 💗💗💗⭐️⭐️⭐️💫💫💫
Thank you Julian my tinnitus has recently gotten louder and I’m struggling at the moment talking to a psychologist because I really need to get to a point where I can habituate and not see it as a threat I really appreciate these videos
if you do not panic and understand that the reality is that you get completely better if you work on yourself. Focus on how you feel inside your body, not the noise. Reacting to the noise with fear is what makes it worse or stay there. Watch his video and take notes and apply what he is saying.
The first thing you should understand is - tinnitus is like your annoying friend, not the ennemy. You need to let go of your negative mindset and change your lifestyle a little bit. I have high pitch tinnitus 5 months now, and it's slowly getting better. I quit alcohol, coffein, start playing guitar again and learn to live in more positive way. Good luck! You just need time to recover from something.
@@cp2342 You have a spike now. Jullian explaned it in one of his videos.Sometimes it gets louder. These spikes will happen again and again but little by little they will desappear. Watch this one ruclips.net/video/TM1rkA1IqrA/видео.html
Love you, Julian. Thank you! You and David Lamm have been the most helpful in my dealing with this. I am positive it will all be well. Love, Faith, Hope and Trust. Blessings!
Thank you Julian. I am still dealing with my tinnitus after 10 months- as well as patulous Eustachian tubes after my ENT gave me steroid nasal drops for congestion ! when it rains it pours lol your videos continue to give me peace and focus. Just a note- my ENT here in NYC suggested a small dose (10mg) of Amitriptilyne (or 'Elevil'- which is a nerve-pain blocker) for my tinnitus and I have found it does help bring the volume down...as does again, a very small dose of Xanax (0.5) every other day. Both are used by ENT's here for tinnitus and I must say they have worked to bring the volume down a bit. Just fyi for those suffering 💜
A truly great video Julian, as always your words are both comforting and also make a lot of sense. I’ve had tinnitus for over 30 years now and over that time I’ve learnt to recognise the general pattern that increased stress in life will appear to increase the perceived volume of the tinnitus. As Julian explains what’s really happening is the tinnitus level wherever it is generated in the auditory system probably stays much the same but when the mind is under threat from general stress it looks for a reason to be afraid - i.e. the flight or fight mechanism. The brain sees tinnitus as the biggest threat ie. the tiger in the room, and not whatever is really creating the stress in your life and therefore ramps it up to a new level. The crucial thing is to learn body based techniques to relax and remove stress from your life as much as possible and this will in turn lower the tinnitus so it’s much more in the background and sometimes can disappear all together. Keep up the awesome work Julian!
Julian, Thank you for a positive break down of no cure to cure. I look forward to my healing journey and to spread the word that their is a cure. Ingrid from South africa.
You can find out how to get better here: www.quietenapp.com Work your way through the First Things First section and then the matrix. Hope this helps. Best wishes Julian
JULIAN. Thank you for the videos. No matter what it is and what you have in your mind, please keep posting regular videos about getting better. Like so many others, I have really found some peace of mind just by listening to your advice and learning from you. When I find myself having a bit too much stuff going on in my everyday life and I notice my tinnitus getting a bit more unpleasant, I always come back to your channel and listen to your expert opinion, advice and overall knowledge. Thank you for all the effort you put into making this video.
After an sinus infection in late 2017 I developed T. Was into dread doom and gloom. Now 2 years in I get low T for hours level 1 or less, about every 2 or 3 days. Much better to watch the videos from Julian and many others that are pro recovery. Head away from the negative, my mother and uncle have T and neither one give a rats ass about it.
Thank you Julian you have been so important in my partial recovery from very severe Tinnitus, The volume has more than halved after 12 months of hell, though still quiet loud I feel sure it will get even better.
@@Zombie101 Mine sounds similar high pitched and loud. I do get the odd day when the volume goes down but not often. I am going to try some Vit B3 and have booked a head massage as Julian has said good massage can help. I think just stay as relaxed as possible, distract yourself from it if you can, for me a day in the countryside with a camera works a bit, and brain plasticity will also help. I had it like this before and after a (long) while it got to be fairly insignificant. Good luck with yours hope it improves.
Thank you so much, this modell explains how humans are. Brings hope to the people and the people heals in trust, love and releave, with your love and kind sharing so simple and so important insights.
I love you Julian!! You truly have been my life saver and your videos have redirected me back onto my spiritual journey. and for that i am thankful. Tinnitus lead me to you. xoxo always Vee.
I agree. I’m testament to it virtually going away. Unfortunately, several months later during a very very emotional time in my life, it returned, but I’m working on the same strategy as before. I know it will get better, but taking some time. Thanks , Julian!! Remember to subscribe to his Quieten app. It’s a small price to pay for all his help!
Agree about the app. It offers things slightly different from RUclips. You can go from one video to the next alot easier than youtube. I still love to see everytime he puts a new video and youtube and watch the others whenever I need a refresher. . I learn something different each and really every thing he teaches is a piece of what I have experienced. The app for me is very convenient and it's also a way that I can repay him for all that he has done. There is nobody on RUclips or in the world that I know of like him. He truly saved me from going into completely misery, despair, panic, etc. Now if I can just be more disciplined and really schedule well being into my life I could completely get better. I'm always waiting until I finish this task or do that. Also, I wanted to note that I read his book , The Long Tide to Silence. I enjoyed it very much and by learning the intricacies of his experience I am able to have a point of reference for things in my life. It's a very enjoyable book to read and interesting to learn about his life and the things he did before immersing himself into well being. It's seems as if the universe has put him in this position to help us.
very well done good spoken..so true Jullian 💖 .. your brain can learn to filter T as not important.. the result is that T goes to the backround.. and the effect is that you won't hear it ... yes your hear it ..but learn to accept ..then it wil go to background..and some times i can say...hey iv had minuts or like 15 minits not hear my tinnitus..even when it is there.. (25db-left..5to25db-right ear in my case ..sis and loud tone) .. don't give up..learn your brain to deal with it...when it does..it wil go better trust yourself and learn from Jullian's experienced video's.. 💕
things what me helped me much : hobby's.. work with paint..grow home plants ..walks in nature..listen to music.. dance on partys.. play with lights.. cook meals.. lucid dreaming .. and mi cats calm my head .. i love you
Thank you Julian, you are one of the prominent leaders in my opinion, in helping with, easing, treating and understanding Tinnitus. May your path come with even greater understanding and breakthroughs, in Jesus name. "When people tell you there is no cure...tell em, you only say that because you haven't found it."
Julian…you are so right, I am so much better by letting go, I still have tt but have acccepted it and the symptoms are so much better, you are a hero!!😊😊
I’ve been having spikes on and off over a year. The longest was 2 weeks but ever since 3 months ago, I’ve been having spikes almost everyday and the good days lasted only one day and it only happened 2-3x over these 3 months. My ears are screeching loudly now : (
Chris Cross my spike has calmed down quite a bit. I started at a one spiked to what seemed to me 100 and I am back down to a 3/4. I had to go in Valium because I couldn’t calm down I was living on adrenaline for a month. It took awhile for the Valium to work. But it did. I don’t take it every day. Now that it’s been four months I now have an issue called telogen effluvium. Basically the stress of that event is causing my hair to fall out. It will grow back but it’s distressing for sure. Recommend you watch your diet. I don’t drink any alcohol ever. I switched to decaf. I eat basically meat and veggies. Lots of water. And I take a cocktail of supplements.
Chris Cross also my dentist 100% believes my T is caused by my bite and jaw so I go to her and have my night-guard adjusted every 3 months Have you had your teeth checked
My tinnitus comes from stupidly self-inflicted hearing damage. I get the sense that it really isn't as bad as what many people experience but I am frequently distracted while trying to read or write in a quiet environment. I am full of a lot of regret over the damage I caused and wish I could go back to the peace of lying in a bed quietly on a weekend morning. In particular I worry that I won't be able to pursue study goals because of my distraction I experience and that I will not be able to achieve in the way I used to - would love some reassurance from someone out there!
Hello Julian, I have had tinnitus for 6 months. I have experienced a lot during this time and I have not always been able to focus on my recovery. My tinnitus most likely came from a prolonged period of permanent tension, anxiety and stress over the last few years. I bought your book (from tinnitus to friend) and it has already helped me a lot. My tinnitus is now often at a 3/10. I am coming off medication and my nervous system is under additional stress and the tinnitus is coming back into focus. Do you have any tips for me on how to deal with this during this time, as I don't really know where to start at the moment? I also wanted to ask if you know the ACT principle, Dr. Russ Harris and the topic of mindfulness? I would be very happy to receive an answer Merry Christmas
Yes - you can find a lot of techniques and practices on my app which you can download here: www.quietenapp.com I don't know about the ACT principle but mindfulness sounds great. I'm really glad to hear that my book "Tinnitus from tyrant to friend" has helped you. If you want personal online support please get in touch at info@julianCowanHill.co.uk Wishing you a steady recovery, Julian
Hello Julian, I have found that any kind of negative thoughts (doubt, fear of the future, catastrophising) often trigger negative emotions and feelings which in turn trigger more negative thoughts.... a negative cycle is created. This in turn causes permanent tension and at some point such symptoms and TT follow. I have already understood quite well how to get out of TT, also with your help.Now for my question: How can I dissolve the causes of TT (negative thoughts, anxious thoughts, compulsions, constant brooding) and do you have experience with this? (I am taking advantage of behavioural therapy). I would be very grateful for an answe
The whole of my app Quieten: www.quietenapp.com is about changing our mindset and understanding into a more positive and productive approach. People can be very hostile at first. Just this morning I had this comment from Jeffrey Hinkel: "This guy is so full of shit his eyes are brown." Clearly if we are swimming in our own negativity we can spray this onto anything and everything, even things that can help us. If we are full of it, then our world becomes full of it. But when we come out of fight or flight and settle, symptoms get better. Learning to self-soothe and getting help to settle helps a lot. So please get help from the host of body-based therapists out there to really switch off properly. This approach is not a quick fix, it is more of a gradual journey. If, by TT, you are referring to Tensor Tympani Syndrome please have a lot at my video on how facial massage and yawning has a big impact on relaxing the tense and twitchy tensor tympani and stapedius muscles that can calm this condition down. Hope this helps, best wishes Julian
Thank you Julian for your videos. Question, does using those sound relief videos help as part of the well being model? Nights are difficult for me, days im okay though. Thank you Julian
Julian, my right side of head above ear hurts, it's like painful vibration, it's not just a ringing for me, it's painful brain, i'm curious on how many different branches of tinnitus there's maybe someone overuser drugs, someone had a car accident, someone listened to loud music for too long, they all seem so different , and that tinnitus must be completely different thing, are you sure your generalization is right about it being nervous system problem ? i aggree with you that you need to have super healthy pumping fast blood body, sauna, weight lifting, hiking, something to put your body into sweating crazy relaxation mode
Thank you Julian for your videos. When i got my tinnitus 6 weeks ago, it was the negative information from doctors and the internet that drove me crazy. a quiet tinnitus that did not previously bother became a very strong one with several tones. today i have days with a very quite tinnitus then come days, it is very strong again. I still don't know how to calm my body. do you have an answer: when the tinnitus is very loud again I hear mp3 at night. then i wake up and my brain ignores the music (i do not hear it when i wake up) and the tinnitus is very loud. Did you had the same problem?
Its called a tinnitus spike. I was in your situation. Jullian explained it in one of his videos. These loud spikes will happen more but dont worry. Little by little they will desappear and you'll have longer periods of silence. Check this video ruclips.net/video/TM1rkA1IqrA/видео.html
I always find my tinnitus gets worse around noon and until bedtime. Not really as 'spikes' but simply louder in volume. I also notice the volume tends to have a lot to do with diet. The list is long, but I remember no caffeine, no alcohol, and sugar definitely ramps it up. I drink decaf and have chocolate in the morning or noon if I'm going to have it. But yeah, the first six weeks were the worst, and doctors blowing you off doesn't help. BODY calming is a lot easier than brain calming I find. Exercise exercise exercise. Stretching, yoga, more stretching. HUGE difference before bed. I like exercise workout videos like amy dixon because there is music and lots of talking and lots of exercise. Then yoga stretching. We have a pellet stove with a fan so there's white noise from that. Initially you should try to have noise going as much as possible. If I remember correctly its finding the 'right' white noise, I think they say matching the frequency is the best way to do it. Some sounds I found would make it worse, bass usually helps. I have cats and about the best thing in the world is to lay on a big cats tummy and have the purring echo right through your head, thats absolute bliss for me. I have some on mp3 and its pretty close to the same thing, just have to turn it up a little louder.
I've had tinnitus for over 40 years due to loud noise exposure. Since I know what caused it, and I've been living with it for so long, it really doesn't seem threatening. However, I've noticed that in recent months, the tinnitus has become more pronounced. I don't know if that is in response to more age-related hearing loss or what. I'm hoping that Julian's videos can help me deal with this, even though I feel like I have very little anxiety about it already.
What about u have excerpted u have tinnitus and your ears are still gaving loud pitches. I started Craniosacral therapy yezterday had a massage. Only 1 session so far. Getting ready to srart meditating classes talking to a therapist. But its hard because i have other medical conditions. Im trying to keep my nervous system. Im not seeing anymore doctors as far as my tinnitus.
Hi Julian, This is a question I’m sure a few of your subscribers would like to be clear of. I’ve had T for 14 months mainly right ear with 24/7 static hiss. I’ve have a 50 db 4K audio notch in both ears so been told this is noise induced HL. I got this from a dental hygienist btw. So with a case like mine ( as opposed to stress induced T) does your model of recovery ie silence be realistic ? Secondly out of all of your successes treating patients how many of them had hearing loss ..? Thank you for your great channel - we all appreciate it :)
This is a common question. Yes even if it is noise-induced the tinnitus can still go away. Want you want is for your nervous system to realise that this is not a threatening or important sound anymore. So becoming indifferent, and switching off and relaxing and not paying attention to it, the filters and inhibitors start switching on again and ignoring this background buzz. Essentially if it is not important we do not need to perceive it. There are a thousand other things that are more important. Normally our attention is incredibly selective and very good at only noticing what matters.
Julian Cowan Hill Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it and will do my utmost to stop focusing on the continual buzz and not feel threatened by it. Am booking some cranial sessions to get me in a better place. Thanks Nick
Hi Julian I discover led your website by recommendation of a guy on RUclips. I’m suffering bad tinnitus (. 4-5 sounds at the same time, mainly high pitch) for nearly one and a half years, the main reasons being stress and /jaw. Just wondering do I need to watch your Videos from the latest or oldest cuz I found out that your first clip was 11 years ago. Was just wondering where should I start to get to know your theory and practice by myself? Much appreciated. Regards
All my videos refer to approaches to tinnitus in line with THE JASTREBOFF MODEL which you can find on-line. This is not my theory - rather what I have learned from clinical practice and working with nearly 1000 tinnitus people. Probably best to start with my App which is the latest information on what helps tinnitus done recently - eg the most up to date. You can find it here: www.quietenapp.com/
Like what the audiologist ssid Ive only had a little bit of hearing lost. The first thing they wanted me is to get hearing sids that cost 4.000 dollars which i didnt like. I dont want to take another hesring test dobt want the sounds in my ears
Hi Julian 😃.. is this applicable for tinnitus with painful hyperacunusis?.. my T doesnt bother me (i hope it really wont in the near future) but i'm struggling with painful (physically) hyperacunusis..My ears is painful
I've been through fight, flight, freeze, dissociation, anxiety attacks, insomnia... the past 9 months. And developed hyperacusis on top.. this doesn't bother me as much but.. sometimes when my T actually is low and I go into a quiet room, the "sound of silence" increases to a loud static feeling like my ears fill with vacuum. Is this also tinnitus or is it hyperacusis?
I have tinnitus through sudden deafness. My doctor also said that I just have to live with this. I protect my ears a lot since. They do not know whats the cause of my deafness. Would this also work on me? Because my tinnitus is not because of stress. Maybe the sudden deafness is. I take vitamins, do yoga, mindfullness. Untill now nothing works for me.
Yes. Of course. If you need further support get in touch and we can organise a skype session to help clear any fixed belief systems that may be keeping you stressed-out. info@juliancowanhill.co.uk
Hi Julian I had tinnitus on left ear( hearing ringing sound) it. I hear it only night if I sleep on left side from 2 weeks I went to doctor and I said same thing but that doctor said I am having wax in right ear and water is formed due to cold after clearing the wax in right ear I am getting some air sound in right ear too. But it is not high.Really I am worried but I am having problem with left ear. How to say. I am unable to sleep . I know the reason it came due to stress and depression because we lost two family members due to carona. How to overcome please help me
I agree that the negative thinking of that there's no way to get better is harmful and should not get practiced. But do you have any recommended scientific sources for your claims?
Yes. Please look at this paper on the Jastreboff Model by Jonathan Hazell FRCS who used to be the Director, Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Centre, London UK: entcare.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/TRT-Website.pdf I also recommend reading "A Multidisciplinary Approach to Tinnitus" by Baguley, Andersson et al www.amazon.co.uk/Tinnitus-Multidisciplinary-Approach-David-Baguley-ebook/dp/B00B9QK0FE/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?dchild=1&keywords=a+multidisciplinary+approach+to+tinnitus&qid=1584349245&sr=8-1-fkmr0
Hi iv had T for 6wks, and it's a nightmare, I have high putch+left ear doing a windy mors code like my right ear but not in sink. Also I find if I boiler a kettle or over on with fan it heightens the T sound any info back be appreciated cheers
Maybe you even got depressed by having T in the first place, but then that is also now contributing to making it worse. You can't talk that away. In that case, anti-depressants might help as they have done me.

Julian is the man I see and feel as my saviour, this mans influence on my own recovery can’t be overstated. I’m now living my life without hearing my own Tinnitus, sometimes it returns but rarely and when it does it’s at such a low level it no longer impacts on my life. Anyone new to Tinnitus please please listen to Julian’s advice. Best wishes to all.
So happy to hear that you’re feeling much better
Chris Cross , thank you.
Hi... I am having tinnitus issues... is he practicing in paddington? I need to contact with him. But I have no idea how to contact
@@nusratprima5728 Yes he is in paddington. Bestw ishes. Ade.
The thing that’s scarying me if its going to get worse by time because i got it from loud noise
GUYS IM HARI... I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY WHATEVER HE IS SAYING IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! Ppl don’t write about their positive stories bcuz after they are better they are careless ... BUT I, GOING TOSHARE MY STORY.. I HAVE GOTTEN COMPLETELY BETTER OVER JUST 2 months...it’s 99percent silent guys ... it’s easily possible ..u just ave to come out of flight and fight.. engage in other activities and forget about your hearing... do this and I swear I’ll get better like e guys .. one more thing I want to clarify .. there is nothing called silence ... even in total quiet environment we can hear sound our auditory system creates .. so don’t worry .. stuck on and like me u will surely get better .. don’t pay heed to your hearing 👍
how are you now bro? no relapse? i am still confused whether this T i've been having for 2 weeks is physical or pshycological. If it's psychological, then yes i believe anxiety will get us engaged in fight or flight system all the time. what if we are super calm and the T is still ringing? 🥲 (i am not being negative, just confused and scared with all of this new experience of having non stop T out of no where)
No your not being negative but truthfully you should get a complete hearing tests done abd blood work tinnitus is not a psychological problem who ever says that r very misleading just r wrong psychological problems can make it seem worse but no it's totally a physical issue
You said " it's 99 percent silent guys" it's easy possible??? Then u said nothing is total silence 🤫 maybe not total but your statements r not really accurate. And I'm willing to bet almost positive that you don't have a measurable hearing loss or impairment or it's very mild very mild iv been around and seen ppl whonhave real hearing iloss issues and they ate the 30 percent that have tinnitus to.gobwith the damage or losses these ppl that make comments that they experience silence for more than a few minutes or near that don't have the damage that someone who hears it almost or all the time this is the real facts no bs calm or or calm
@@yafet021 tinnitus is not a psychological problem but it can become that go see a good ent to rule out any diseases if there isn't any disease that's not related to hearing than sometimes a good therapist can help u
All doctors and especially ear nose throat need to listen to this incredible man.
I’ve had T for years on and off and recently quite full on. I saw the e/n/t doc and was told what I imagined they would say - almost with a smirk - you know there’s nothing that can be done, right?
That was ok I’d already got myself on a Julian inspired path, so used the diagnosis of light hearing loss as essential to know and left feeling totally fine. If I’d heard that before my research I would have been straight into fight or flight.
Keep watching the positive stuff!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Julian. Doctors should learn a great lesson from you. PLEASE, DOCTORS, SHUT UP AND LISTEN! Tinnitus is like a body alarm. Everybody, please calm down and listen to your body. If there are no physical problems, just relax, you need time to heal from stress. First months are hell on earth, but it's going to be better, thrust me.
how much time did you spend getting better from T？
@@WNJOfficial First 2-3 months my tinnitus was very very bad and annoying. Now it's 6 months since I have tinnitus and it's going better. I still have it, but it' not a big problem any more. You need time to relax and habituate. I know how hard it can be. I Think you will habituate after couple of months, and hopefully completely get better after 6 months to 1 year. Don't be afraid, many people have this and live normaly. Stay strong. :)
I am a tinnitus doctor and I am listening :)
@@treblehealth Then, thank you too. :) My 2 doctors scared me a lot. I was in big depresion. I hope you will help other people with this Julian advices. Also, I would like to hear what do you think and tell us about positive things. Greetings from me.
@@DDuran-ku2ig I am a tinnitus specialist in California. My main role as a therapist is to teach the patient use active psychological processes to reduce the hyper-sensitive stress response from negative reactions to tinnitus. I recently created a channel called Pure Tinnitus to share my offerings. Julian is a mentor of mine!
I got my tinnitus after I completely loss sound in my right ear from a middle ear infection in august of last year. the sound came back but it returned with tinnitus. a few weeks before I found you, it showed up in my left ear from me listening out for it and worrying about getting it in my left ear (crazy right?). all I can say is I’m beyond grateful for your existence. for the first time in months I woke up in a period of blissful silence. when I found your channel 2 weeks ago and saw how the majority of people who get tinnitus actually do recover, it gave me hope and even calmed it down right then and there. plus it changed my perception of tinnitus instantly. I started to look at it for what it is, not a threat but a stressometer, and started doing what I could to lessen the inflammation in the nervous system which is the root cause of all dis-ease in the body. I started meditating when I got the chance (in the shower, my room, while laying in bed, sitting in a chair, etc..) started directing my awareness to the body more. i got your app yesterday and did the clench and release exercise, which made me fall asleep so quickly. I woke up refreshed and in a brief moment of silence for the first time today. even the ringing is lower and more distant in silent areas. its starting to fade quickly and I love it. it was annoying for months. I started journaling my progress, I feel like it’ll be gone before spring or summer 😢💙
How are you today?
Julian saved my life. Not just by stopping the T but he sent me on a journey of self forgiveness. The T stopped along the way!
Has your T stopped entirely?
@@JulesBeehive Hi Jules yes it has. If I drink it turns up again for a day or two but otherwise completely gone. How you getting on?
@@Aurelius4114 that's absolutely amazing. Thank you for replying. How did you do it? Just following Julian? I am making progress and it's slowly coming down... have come from a 10/10 to now a 1-2 out of 10, with the odd spike. It seems like a total dream to reach silence, so thank you for the hope :-)
@@JulesBeehive That's great news. That sounds like mine before it went altogether. Loads of ups and downs tons and tons of spikes towards the end that would last about 10 seconds. I dont exactly remember when it went as it wasn't bothering me anymore. I had all this other stuff happen when it went. Tremors, twitches, burning skin, aches and pains. Got loads of tests done and all came back clear. I guess it was all down to years of drink and drug abuse. What caused yours? Any idea?
@@JulesBeehive I know what you mean! It can be like an alarm clock. The while thing definitely humbled me some what.
I can attest to the fact that you can and do get better - much better - and this is from someone who thought there was no hope. It took a couple of years - and I also bought Julian's book to help me. You can recover - though it is something you have to continue to manage (stress, triggers, etc.). It can get so much better that you can hardly hear it (I won't say it's 100% gone, but almost). Best wishes and listen to Julian - he knows what he's talking about. You can also hire him to help you.
I think this is the best video I've seen you post Julian. This is the one I would link to anyone that has developed tinnitus, as it explains so much in such a concise way. I would like to add to this that self compassion is an important tool to deal with anxiety (after all - this is the enemy of tinnitus). Change your internal monologue to positive reinforcing what's good about you. It makes a real difference to see that in the end we are amazing people dealing with challenging stuff and *coping*. As soon as you have real love for yourself you start to see the inner turmoil diminish. Great positive video. Thank you. x
Extremely valuable video. every time thinking of doctors that have neutrally told me "sorry, you gotta have to live with it. there is no cure". get's me so upset. these people seriously don't know the harm they're doing.
Thank you so much. Since I have been following your advice I have had periods of silence and my tinnitus is much more under control. I have gone from unbearable shrieking 24/7 into lower tones and times where I do not notice it at all, even when trying to hear it. Bless you.
An absolute pleasure. Thank you so much for sharing. This is really positive and has a positive knock-on effect for others. Wishing you a steady ongoing recovery.
The first 3 weeks I had tinnitus it was level 2. I didn't even know what it was or what I had. When the doctor told me I had tinnitus and that there was no cure my tinnitus skyrocketed to level 8 overnight. This illustrates how powerful the "psychological factors" of tinnitus are. I believe tinnitus is 90% to 100% psychological in nature. In short, I believe tinnitus is a physical manifestation of stress.
How are you now?
Bs. It is not a psychological problem at all maybe for u it is bc if u had a actual hearing losses more than mild uwould know immediately its not a psychological issue at all and strees
@@LucyDenbowskimost people that have hearing loss does not have tinnitus, it may be not psychlogical in a sense its not real, it is real but it is started or worsened by it, the same way you can get alergies from stress
@@ProfessorTime most tinnitus is not from stress not if it's chronic these r facts many ppl r calm then wake up with intrusive tinnitus or head noise many cases the silence probably made the tinnitus more noticeable bc the hearing damage is signaling the part of the brain 🧠 to ramp up volume to compensate for the lost signals that your auditory system is missing etc butvwhy this happens to only a certain percent of ppl is still unknown this needs to seriously be studied
@@ProfessorTime many ppl notice their tinnitus when they awaken from sleep being anxious will make it worse but it won't stay that way butvtrue hearing damage can cause tinnitus even if your real calm proving its not a psychological issue not the chronic cases
Another amazing video from Julian. Believe me, every word he says IS TRUE. I recovered from Tinnitus using the well being model. This can apply to other health issues such as anxiety cfs/ me, fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Thank you Julian for all the work you do to help people recover. God bless you xx
Any tips?
I’ve been following you Julian for over a year now, brought your books and subscribed to your videos they have helped me so much.
I’m learning to cope and self soothe. It’s been a year of self discovery.
The tinnitus at the beginning was the most frightening and awful experience.i have ever had. I still have it but I’m able to switch off and get on with my life.
Thank you for just your understanding and perception
Most of all for been that someone who you can turn to when your in despair.
It truly can back off. Thank you !
It would be AMAZING to hear more stories from people who get better. As in, people who got to silence! Thanks for the video Julian.
half a year in , just had 3 weeks of silence , came back not as loud , and today it's been silent most of the day kind of on/off right now
Julian is speaking wisdom from experience and his guidelines stopped me from panicking and helped me understand, among other things that it's stress related , so going easy on your body , getting good amounts of sleep, avoiding unnecessary arguments with family , etc , they all play a factor
@@georgekrakus thank you for this - I appreciate it!
I don't necessarily think of silence as 'better'. Sorry to repeat it, but for years it really had no connection to me. Every once in awhile I'd notice it there, but for ages it just didn't click in. Think of it this way, you live in a suburb close to a main highway. As long as you live in that house you NEVER will get away from teh sound of traffic. Sometimes its more, sometimes its less but its always there, and ALL those people 'suffer' with it more than some with tinnitus.
The suffering part is when your brain is triggered. To my mind getting 'better' is not having that triggered. Ironically I was joking with my wife that we moved to a rural area but were still fairly close to a main highway so at night I always heard cars. I was used to it though, so it didn't bother me. I got sick and for some reason the tinnitus trigger went off and it bugged me again, and weirdly enough the traffic from the highway stopped! Just when it would have come in handy as white noise! C'est la vie. But its two weeks and I'm already back to not being bothered by it at least 97% of the time. Not that I WANT it, but for the most part its no different than the people that live by a highway. And just imagine those who live by an airport or railroad!:)
PS, my wife did say she had it for a couple of days, then it went away or else she stopped listening for it.
Mine is a long story but essentially I have gone from really loud T in one ear to complete silence except now and again at night in bed. Total silence in the day though. 2.5 years in total with loads of ups and downs. Stopped thinking about it after a while. Deep down i knew it was being created by me and for that reason i knew i coukd uncreate it and slowly it stopped bothering me. only then did it start getting better. more time went by and then it went from very low to silent once I started the carnivore diet and working out.
Stress, inflammation, adrenal fatigue, lack of sleep and a very negative internal monologue started it all and reversing all that stopped it.
Also the above comment is spot on! What happened before it got better was it didn't trigger my emotions anymore. It went from extreme fear inducing to just a thought in my head. Hard to explain but once that happened I really didn't care if it stayed or went. Its like it went from occuoying 90% of my head to a distant 1% somewhere over there where i didnt care about. That was before the volume lowered too. The only reason I went full on with the diet etc. Is because I had a ton of other physical symptoms. All have which have gone now. All the best!
@@Aurelius4114 Good on you, although I don't want people to think that they have 'failed' if they try certain things and it doesn't help. Mine is from a physical injury, same with lots of people. It doesn't go away, but yes, you can stop 'listening' for it, thats what I meant by 'getting better'.
But everybody is different and Tinnitus is different in everybody.
My tinnitus was largely psycic and part somatic. Anti-depressants (Brintellix) cured my depression, and with it, my anxiety. When that went, so did 50% of the tinnitus. Somedays I can bearly hear it, other days it's only mildly annoying. So - check your mental health!
THANK YOU Julian!!! 💗💗💗. I was losing my dearest with Tinnitus (after a head injury, plus passing of my dad within days) to the negative bunk of doctors, plus the vampiric Internet Negative Nellie insistent victims...this video explained the positive mindset of Well Being needed to recover (vs the common No Cure nonsense). You’re a LIFE SAVER! 💗💗💗⭐️⭐️⭐️💫💫💫
Thank you Julian my tinnitus has recently gotten louder and I’m struggling at the moment talking to a psychologist because I really need to get to a point where I can habituate and not see it as a threat I really appreciate these videos
if you do not panic and understand that the reality is that you get completely better if you work on yourself. Focus on how you feel inside your body, not the noise. Reacting to the noise with fear is what makes it worse or stay there. Watch his video and take notes and apply what he is saying.
carlbernngl ok thank you 🙏
The first thing you should understand is - tinnitus is like your annoying friend, not the ennemy. You need to let go of your negative mindset and change your lifestyle a little bit. I have high pitch tinnitus 5 months now, and it's slowly getting better. I quit alcohol, coffein, start playing guitar again and learn to live in more positive way. Good luck! You just need time to recover from something.
D. Duran thank you so much for the reply I really appreciate you guys replying to me it really helps thank you so much 😊
@@cp2342 You have a spike now. Jullian explaned it in one of his videos.Sometimes it gets louder. These spikes will happen again and again but little by little they will desappear. Watch this one ruclips.net/video/TM1rkA1IqrA/видео.html
Love you, Julian. Thank you! You and David Lamm have been the most helpful in my dealing with this. I am positive it will all be well. Love, Faith, Hope and Trust. Blessings!
How are you now?
Thank you Julian. I am still dealing with my tinnitus after 10 months- as well as patulous Eustachian tubes after my ENT gave me steroid nasal drops for congestion ! when it rains it pours lol your videos continue to give me peace and focus. Just a note- my ENT here in NYC suggested a small dose (10mg) of Amitriptilyne (or 'Elevil'- which is a nerve-pain blocker) for my tinnitus and I have found it does help bring the volume down...as does again, a very small dose of Xanax (0.5) every other day. Both are used by ENT's here for tinnitus and I must say they have worked to bring the volume down a bit. Just fyi for those suffering 💜
A truly great video Julian, as always your words are both comforting and also make a lot of sense. I’ve had tinnitus for over 30 years now and over that time I’ve learnt to recognise the general pattern that increased stress in life will appear to increase the perceived volume of the tinnitus. As Julian explains what’s really happening is the tinnitus level wherever it is generated in the auditory system probably stays much the same but when the mind is under threat from general stress it looks for a reason to be afraid - i.e. the flight or fight mechanism. The brain sees tinnitus as the biggest threat ie. the tiger in the room, and not whatever is really creating the stress in your life and therefore ramps it up to a new level. The crucial thing is to learn body based techniques to relax and remove stress from your life as much as possible and this will in turn lower the tinnitus so it’s much more in the background and sometimes can disappear all together. Keep up the awesome work Julian!
Julian,
Thank you for a positive break down of no cure to cure. I look forward to my healing journey and to spread the word that their is a cure. Ingrid from South africa.
You can find out how to get better here: www.quietenapp.com Work your way through the First Things First section and then the matrix. Hope this helps. Best wishes Julian
JULIAN. Thank you for the videos. No matter what it is and what you have in your mind, please keep posting regular videos about getting better. Like so many others, I have really found some peace of mind just by listening to your advice and learning from you. When I find myself having a bit too much stuff going on in my everyday life and I notice my tinnitus getting a bit more unpleasant, I always come back to your channel and listen to your expert opinion, advice and overall knowledge. Thank you for all the effort you put into making this video.
After an sinus infection in late 2017 I developed T. Was into dread doom and gloom. Now 2 years in I get low T for hours level 1 or less, about every 2 or 3 days. Much better to watch the videos from Julian and many others that are pro recovery.
Head away from the negative, my mother and uncle have T and neither one give a rats ass about it.
Sir your T from brain or ears
Thank you Julian you have been so important in my partial recovery from very severe Tinnitus, The volume has more than halved after 12 months of hell, though still quiet loud I feel sure it will get even better.
@@Zombie101 Mine sounds similar high pitched and loud. I do get the odd day when the volume goes down but not often. I am going to try some Vit B3 and have booked a head massage as Julian has said good massage can help. I think just stay as relaxed as possible, distract yourself from it if you can, for me a day in the countryside with a camera works a bit, and brain plasticity will also help. I had it like this before and after a (long) while it got to be fairly insignificant. Good luck with yours hope it improves.
Thank you so much, this modell explains how humans are. Brings hope to the people and the people heals in trust, love and releave, with your love and kind sharing so simple and so important insights.
Thank you Julian, am thankful for your videos, give me hope and peace.
Hey julian been a year and i still have tinnitus does trouble me anymore though .... kind of a nuisance at night but its pretty much all good :)
I love you Julian!! You truly have been my life saver and your videos have redirected me back onto my spiritual journey. and for that i am thankful. Tinnitus lead me to you. xoxo always Vee.
Thank you Julian - excellent summary! *So much* of this really registers with my own experiences with tinnitus.
I agree. I’m testament to it virtually going away.
Unfortunately, several months later during a very very emotional time in my life, it returned, but I’m working on the same strategy as before. I know it will get better, but taking some time. Thanks , Julian!!
Remember to subscribe to his Quieten app. It’s a small price to pay for all his help!
Agree about the app. It offers things slightly different from RUclips. You can go from one video to the next alot easier than youtube. I still love to see everytime he puts a new video and youtube and watch the others whenever I need a refresher. . I learn something different each and really every thing he teaches is a piece of what I have experienced. The app for me is very convenient and it's also a way that I can repay him for all that he has done. There is nobody on RUclips or in the world that I know of like him. He truly saved me from going into completely misery, despair, panic, etc. Now if I can just be more disciplined and really schedule well being into my life I could completely get better. I'm always waiting until I finish this task or do that.
Also, I wanted to note that I read his book , The Long Tide to Silence. I enjoyed it very much and by learning the intricacies of his experience I am able to have a point of reference for things in my life. It's a very enjoyable book to read and interesting to learn about his life and the things he did before immersing himself into well being. It's seems as if the universe has put him in this position to help us.
I have the app and find it very useful. I brought the book T from tyrant to friend, excellent read, love J's writing style :). The guys a blessing.
very well done good spoken..so true Jullian 💖 .. your brain can learn to filter T as not important.. the result is that T goes to the backround.. and the effect is that you won't hear it ... yes your hear it ..but learn to accept ..then it wil go to background..and some times i can say...hey iv had minuts or like 15 minits not hear my tinnitus..even when it is there.. (25db-left..5to25db-right ear in my case ..sis and loud tone) .. don't give up..learn your brain to deal with it...when it does..it wil go better trust yourself and learn from Jullian's experienced video's.. 💕
things what me helped me much : hobby's.. work with paint..grow home plants ..walks in nature..listen to music.. dance on partys.. play with lights.. cook meals.. lucid dreaming .. and mi cats calm my head .. i love you
Thanks a lot Julian! Your method and your devotion to work are fantastic :) I really appreciate it!
super gościu. 😀😀 bardzo mi pomogłeś.
Thank you, Julian. I’ve had different levels of tinnitus for 1.5 years. Your work has helped me so much!
Thank you Julian, you are one of the prominent leaders in my opinion, in helping with, easing, treating and understanding Tinnitus. May your path come with even greater understanding and breakthroughs, in Jesus name.
"When people tell you there is no cure...tell em, you only say that because you haven't found it."
Julian…you are so right, I am so much better by letting go, I still have tt but have acccepted it and the symptoms are so much better, you are a hero!!😊😊
Thank you Julian. This video is very comforting and helpful.
une excellente video! merci julian
God bless you Julian always so helpful greetings from limerick Ireland 🇮🇪
I love u man!!! Uve helped so much! Even 1000 ent doctors dont amount to one of u!
You are great Julian. This is what we need
I really needed this. Thank you. In a spike and having a difficult time.
I’ve been having spikes on and off over a year. The longest was 2 weeks but ever since 3 months ago, I’ve been having spikes almost everyday and the good days lasted only one day and it only happened 2-3x over these 3 months. My ears are screeching loudly now : (
Chris Cross my spike has calmed down quite a bit. I started at a one spiked to what seemed to me 100 and I am back down to a 3/4. I had to go in Valium because I couldn’t calm down I was living on adrenaline for a month. It took awhile for the Valium to work. But it did. I don’t take it every day. Now that it’s been four months I now have an issue called telogen effluvium. Basically the stress of that event is causing my hair to fall out. It will grow back but it’s distressing for sure. Recommend you watch your diet. I don’t drink any alcohol ever. I switched to decaf. I eat basically meat and veggies. Lots of water. And I take a cocktail of supplements.
Chris Cross also my dentist 100% believes my T is caused by my bite and jaw so I go to her and have my night-guard adjusted every 3 months Have you had your teeth checked
c massone I’m on Pregabalin on and off. I dunno. Just running out of ideas what to do.
Chris Cross have your teeth checked I follow Julien and another guy named Liam. On RUclips. They both have helped me a lot
My tinnitus comes from stupidly self-inflicted hearing damage. I get the sense that it really isn't as bad as what many people experience but I am frequently distracted while trying to read or write in a quiet environment. I am full of a lot of regret over the damage I caused and wish I could go back to the peace of lying in a bed quietly on a weekend morning. In particular I worry that I won't be able to pursue study goals because of my distraction I experience and that I will not be able to achieve in the way I used to - would love some reassurance from someone out there!
Who are the two wankers that disliked this video ? Well done Julian you’re absolutely fantastic
Your videos make me feel safe and I just bought your book. Thank you.
❤❤❤ información altamente útil, lo he podido comprobar.
AND I DONT KNOW WHY I HAVE STARTED HEARING THE BUZZ OF MY CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Hello Julian,
I have had tinnitus for 6 months. I have experienced a lot during this time and I have not always been able to focus on my recovery. My tinnitus most likely came from a prolonged period of permanent tension, anxiety and stress over the last few years. I bought your book (from tinnitus to friend) and it has already helped me a lot. My tinnitus is now often at a 3/10.
I am coming off medication and my nervous system is under additional stress and the tinnitus is coming back into focus. Do you have any tips for me on how to deal with this during this time, as I don't really know where to start at the moment? I also wanted to ask if you know the ACT principle, Dr. Russ Harris and the topic of mindfulness?
I would be very happy to receive an answer
Merry Christmas
Yes - you can find a lot of techniques and practices on my app which you can download here: www.quietenapp.com I don't know about the ACT principle but mindfulness sounds great. I'm really glad to hear that my book "Tinnitus from tyrant to friend" has helped you. If you want personal online support please get in touch at info@julianCowanHill.co.uk Wishing you a steady recovery, Julian
Stress from the Virus emergency is making my tinnitus much much stressful. We must stay at home, so hard to take the mind off of the ringing.
laspilly I am the same as you :(
I do not care about the virus many people take it watching manipulative news that makes them nervous do other activities and focus on the positive
Lee Carter from New Zealand - yes to the Boatmast, great meditation, thank you xxxx
Hello Julian, I have found that any kind of negative thoughts (doubt, fear of the future, catastrophising) often trigger negative emotions and feelings which in turn trigger more negative thoughts.... a negative cycle is created.
This in turn causes permanent tension and at some point such symptoms and TT follow.
I have already understood quite well how to get out of TT, also with your help.Now for my question: How can I dissolve the causes of TT (negative thoughts, anxious thoughts, compulsions, constant brooding) and do you have experience with this?
(I am taking advantage of behavioural therapy).
I would be very grateful for an answe
The whole of my app Quieten: www.quietenapp.com is about changing our mindset and understanding into a more positive and productive approach. People can be very hostile at first. Just this morning I had this comment from Jeffrey Hinkel: "This guy is so full of shit his eyes are brown." Clearly if we are swimming in our own negativity we can spray this onto anything and everything, even things that can help us. If we are full of it, then our world becomes full of it. But when we come out of fight or flight and settle, symptoms get better. Learning to self-soothe and getting help to settle helps a lot. So please get help from the host of body-based therapists out there to really switch off properly. This approach is not a quick fix, it is more of a gradual journey. If, by TT, you are referring to Tensor Tympani Syndrome please have a lot at my video on how facial massage and yawning has a big impact on relaxing the tense and twitchy tensor tympani and stapedius muscles that can calm this condition down. Hope this helps, best wishes Julian
@@JulianCowanHill thank u 🙏
THANK YOU
Thank you Julian for your videos. Question, does using those sound relief videos help as part of the well being model? Nights are difficult for me, days im okay though. Thank you Julian
Julian, my right side of head above ear hurts, it's like painful vibration, it's not just a ringing for me, it's painful brain, i'm curious on how many different branches of tinnitus there's maybe someone overuser drugs, someone had a car accident, someone listened to loud music for too long, they all seem so different , and that tinnitus must be completely different thing, are you sure your generalization is right about it being nervous system problem ? i aggree with you that you need to have super healthy pumping fast blood body, sauna, weight lifting, hiking, something to put your body into sweating crazy relaxation mode
Can u come to the us give us some classes.
Thank you..😘💕💞💕
brilliant!
Thank you Julian for your videos. When i got my tinnitus 6 weeks ago, it was the negative information from doctors and the internet that drove me crazy. a quiet tinnitus that did not previously bother became a very strong one with several tones. today i have days with a very quite tinnitus then come days, it is very strong again. I still don't know how to calm my body. do you have an answer: when the tinnitus is very loud again I hear mp3 at night. then i wake up and my brain ignores the music (i do not hear it when i wake up) and the tinnitus is very loud.
Did you had the same problem?
Its called a tinnitus spike. I was in your situation. Jullian explained it in one of his videos. These loud spikes will happen more but dont worry. Little by little they will desappear and you'll have longer periods of silence. Check this video ruclips.net/video/TM1rkA1IqrA/видео.html
I always find my tinnitus gets worse around noon and until bedtime. Not really as 'spikes' but simply louder in volume. I also notice the volume tends to have a lot to do with diet. The list is long, but I remember no caffeine, no alcohol, and sugar definitely ramps it up. I drink decaf and have chocolate in the morning or noon if I'm going to have it. But yeah, the first six weeks were the worst, and doctors blowing you off doesn't help.
BODY calming is a lot easier than brain calming I find. Exercise exercise exercise. Stretching, yoga, more stretching. HUGE difference before bed. I like exercise workout videos like amy dixon because there is music and lots of talking and lots of exercise. Then yoga stretching. We have a pellet stove with a fan so there's white noise from that. Initially you should try to have noise going as much as possible. If I remember correctly its finding the 'right' white noise, I think they say matching the frequency is the best way to do it. Some sounds I found would make it worse, bass usually helps. I have cats and about the best thing in the world is to lay on a big cats tummy and have the purring echo right through your head, thats absolute bliss for me. I have some on mp3 and its pretty close to the same thing, just have to turn it up a little louder.
Светлана Татаринцева thank you alot!
Mike Archibald thank you alot
I've had tinnitus for over 40 years due to loud noise exposure. Since I know what caused it, and I've been living with it for so long, it really doesn't seem threatening. However, I've noticed that in recent months, the tinnitus has become more pronounced. I don't know if that is in response to more age-related hearing loss or what. I'm hoping that Julian's videos can help me deal with this, even though I feel like I have very little anxiety about it already.
do you fasting ?
What the nane again on your app
What about u have excerpted u have tinnitus and your ears are still gaving loud pitches. I started Craniosacral therapy yezterday had a massage. Only 1 session so far. Getting ready to srart meditating classes talking to a therapist. But its hard because i have other medical conditions. Im trying to keep my nervous system. Im not seeing anymore doctors as far as my tinnitus.
Hi Julian,
This is a question I’m sure a few of your subscribers would like to be clear of.
I’ve had T for 14 months mainly right ear with 24/7 static hiss. I’ve have a 50 db 4K audio notch in both ears so been told this is noise induced HL. I got this from a dental hygienist btw.
So with a case like mine ( as opposed to stress induced T) does your model of recovery ie silence be realistic ? Secondly out of all of your successes treating patients how many of them had hearing loss ..? Thank you for your great channel - we all appreciate it :)
This is a common question. Yes even if it is noise-induced the tinnitus can still go away. Want you want is for your nervous system to realise that this is not a threatening or important sound anymore. So becoming indifferent, and switching off and relaxing and not paying attention to it, the filters and inhibitors start switching on again and ignoring this background buzz. Essentially if it is not important we do not need to perceive it. There are a thousand other things that are more important. Normally our attention is incredibly selective and very good at only noticing what matters.
Julian Cowan Hill Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it and will do my utmost to stop focusing on the continual buzz and not feel threatened by it. Am booking some cranial sessions to get me in a better place. Thanks Nick
يسعد ربك يا شيخ
انا رح اخبص بحياتي ولا زي كأنه في طنين لاني متأكد زي ما أنا شايفك انو فيه علاج نهائي اكيد قريب كمان
Hi Julian I discover led your website by recommendation of a guy on RUclips. I’m suffering bad tinnitus (. 4-5 sounds at the same time, mainly high pitch) for nearly one and a half years, the main reasons being stress and /jaw. Just wondering do I need to watch your Videos from the latest or oldest cuz I found out that your first clip was 11 years ago. Was just wondering where should I start to get to know your theory and practice by myself? Much appreciated. Regards
All my videos refer to approaches to tinnitus in line with THE JASTREBOFF MODEL which you can find on-line. This is not my theory - rather what I have learned from clinical practice and working with nearly 1000 tinnitus people. Probably best to start with my App which is the latest information on what helps tinnitus done recently - eg the most up to date. You can find it here: www.quietenapp.com/
How is your t now?
Like what the audiologist ssid Ive only had a little bit of hearing lost. The first thing they wanted me is to get hearing sids that cost 4.000 dollars which i didnt like. I dont want to take another hesring test dobt want the sounds in my ears
Hi Julian 😃.. is this applicable for tinnitus with painful hyperacunusis?.. my T doesnt bother me (i hope it really wont in the near future) but i'm struggling with painful (physically) hyperacunusis..My ears is painful
How are you doing now?
I've been through fight, flight, freeze, dissociation, anxiety attacks, insomnia... the past 9 months. And developed hyperacusis on top.. this doesn't bother me as much but.. sometimes when my T actually is low and I go into a quiet room, the "sound of silence" increases to a loud static feeling like my ears fill with vacuum. Is this also tinnitus or is it hyperacusis?
Same symptoms 😞how are you doing please update 🙏
Brilliant
I have tinnitus through sudden deafness. My doctor also said that I just have to live with this. I protect my ears a lot since. They do not know whats the cause of my deafness. Would this also work on me? Because my tinnitus is not because of stress. Maybe the sudden deafness is. I take vitamins, do yoga, mindfullness. Untill now nothing works for me.
Yes. Of course. If you need further support get in touch and we can organise a skype session to help clear any fixed belief systems that may be keeping you stressed-out. info@juliancowanhill.co.uk
Hi Julian I had tinnitus on left ear( hearing ringing sound) it. I hear it only night if I sleep on left side from 2 weeks I went to doctor and I said same thing but that doctor said I am having wax in right ear and water is formed due to cold after clearing the wax in right ear I am getting some air sound in right ear too. But it is not high.Really I am worried but I am having problem with left ear. How to say. I am unable to sleep . I know the reason it came due to stress and depression because we lost two family members due to carona. How to overcome please help me
How are you doing now?
I agree totally but being a carer for an increasingly ill 85 year old father and existing on hardly any income , its easier said than done
I HAVE GOT BETTER HEAR MY STORY BELOW
Thx ☀️♥️
I agree that the negative thinking of that there's no way to get better is harmful and should not get practiced.
But do you have any recommended scientific sources for your claims?
Yes. Please look at this paper on the Jastreboff Model by Jonathan Hazell FRCS who used to be the Director, Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Centre, London UK:
entcare.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/TRT-Website.pdf
I also recommend reading "A Multidisciplinary Approach to Tinnitus" by Baguley, Andersson et al

Hi iv had T for 6wks, and it's a nightmare, I have high putch+left ear doing a windy mors code like my right ear but not in sink. Also I find if I boiler a kettle or over on with fan it heightens the T sound any info back be appreciated cheers
Maybe you even got depressed by having T in the first place, but then that is also now contributing to making it worse. You can't talk that away. In that case, anti-depressants might help as they have done me.
How can u stay calm all the time. Life sometimes is stress
i have dark thoughts iam tired
How are you now?
