You have litterally just stopped my tinnitus just by watching this video, so thank you! I've been so up tight this week with terrible heath anxiety. You told me that heightened sences cause tinnitus, and your right! I've sat here massaging my face and neck for the whole length of the video, you made me feel safe, and the ringing stopped, I hope it continues. Amazing Julian, thank you :)
Hello Julian! My pain subsided a lot. Yesterday for the first time in 4 months I could here my ringing just a little in my left ear. And the one in my head stopped. Just for a day. God is healing me and thank you so much helping me too.
I thought that tinnitus was normal for everybody. I didn't even know it was a thing until one night I said to my husband, 'you know when it's all quiet and there is that ringing in your ears' I totally forget where I was going with it, but he says to me 'what are you talking about, that is not normal, I don't have ringing in my ears' Since this realization I googled it, and found tinnitus. And it has gotten worse! I wish I had kept my mouth shut, I was perfectly happy with it for 40 years thinking everybody had it, now that my brain knows its not normal it turned up the volume, and oh my god, i can't stand it anymore! I need to watch these videos daily now, hoping it will get better.
I've had it since I was a kid. I just thought it was the sound of silence. Until my stress made it unbearable. Cbd has calmed me plus this amazing man jullian
You are a lifesaver ! Thank you for your words of wisdom I am 55 years old and I got tinnitus last year and I've been real scared to see this is going to be my new life. I have learned that if I do not get enough sleep it will flare up real bad but when I do get a good night sleep it comes down. Thank you very much for being out there for people like me.
thank you so much . this is very informative and uplifting , as having tinnitis is a very stressful life encroaching thing . and you are quite right .... any stressful situation even feeling unwell can really ramp it up .
Inspiring as ever :) I have a silly little thing that I've just discovered that makes me feel cosy! I bought an electric under blanket for my bed :D So as the nights get colder (it's Autumn in the UK now) I slip into a snuggly warm bed each night! Amazing how something so simple can make you feel wonderful! The little things really do add up.
I got used to it. After maybe 3 or 4 yrs it became the bottom of the important pile. Now I get days when I don’t even notice it. Its so true; a state of anxiety can cause an unbearable state which is Fing stupid; an absolute waste of time. Tinnitus is not about the noise, it’s about being a calm person. If I’m a stressed man and I think about the noise it will become the centre of all my problems, yet I get 98% of days where I don’t think about it at all, AT ALL...learn to relax, learn to relax.
Julian you have solved my anxiety connection to tinittus. Ty!!!! my tinnitus has not gone away but has gotten manageable. Honest truth , after listening to your video I applied my palms and back of my hands down the side of my cheeks, yawned, rubbed my scalp Immediately after wards the anxiety danger feeling was gone I can’t believe it. Anxiety was absolutely terrible for about a week. I could do nothing to help while my nerves were on fire, ears were red and head was pressured. I had tinnitus for 6 weeks causing sensitivity to loud sound hyperacusis then this week the 7th week that sensitivity went away and the anxiety kicked in, being anxious of having a panic attack and hyperacusis coming back dreading going to bed worrying it would flare up. U still have mild flare of tinnitus but no more anxiety! Thanks Julian
Really glad to hear it. Learning to self-soothe is one of the big pieces of the puzzle. I do occasionally get anxious once or twice a year but I know what to do now. I have really learnt how to calm myself down with a bit of time and floor space! A lot of these techniques I put on my app www.quietenapp.com Keep going with the self soothing and you will be fine!
Julilan thank you for laying out action steps we can take... I think we are all tired of people talking philosophy and pushing us to sign up for there expensive programs but not really sharing the how to get better. I totally believe in coaching and getting help but with the heart really wanting to help people. Your intentions are pure. I love this video because it helps empower us to take action and realize we have to heal ourselves but we have to do certain things to get there and it is not pie in the sky philosophy. I am going to take your suggestion and do a documentary .. would love help with a name.. What do you think of Tinnitus Titans... or The Truth about Tinnitus...I am excited.. I love teaching through video and I had given it up because of tinnitus but now that i have cleared some stress from my life.. cameras are the way i teach and express myself. Thank you so much.
I found this incredibly helpful and very grounding. Really valuable information. I really appreciate the inclusive ("we do this", "we do that...") language.
Thanks Julian. Very specific tasks to cause relieve I wasn’t aware of. Also I hadn’t stoped to thinking about the big difference between theoretical and body real experiencing. Thanks again it’s always so helpful.
Thank you very much sir your an inspiration, im new tinnitus sufferer and currently learning to control and habitting to it, your videos are helping me a lot
Glad to hear it is helping you. You can find a lot more up-to-date information here on my app www.quietenapp.com with bi-weekly like online support. Hope this helps, best wishes Julian
Hi Julian, great words as usual you are such a help to us all. I thank you for getting me through the darkest days of my life through your videos on here, answering my emails and skyping. I haven't been on here for about 3 months, I have been getting on with my life.....Tinnitus has faded more and more all the time, Im having longer and longer without noticing it, it really is true. There is a however though, so however, recently, the last 10 days has been quite bad, very loud and intrusive again, more so than in a long time, almost like it was at the beginning, I want tithing this is just a spike and that it will pass BUT I went to a circus in a big top and it was VERY loud! I didn't have any ear protection in and this is why I am on here, I am REALLY worried that I have permanently damaged my ears and that this TERRIBLE noise is now never going to go, almost like I will never get a second chance.............Im so sad. I have been so cautious when going to loud venues/concerts etc and always used musicians ear plugs as most people to do with tinnitus recommend. But I have recently been going to see a new audiologist and he has a theory and seems to know a LOT about tinnitus so I trusted him. He said.....my hearing loss is a high frequency hearing loss and he did a VERY thorough hearing test and the sounds that I can't hear are almost exactly the same as my tinnitus sounds, he says that my brain has gone into fight or flight mode "looking" for this sound, that it has created this sound itself, in my head. Therefore, the hearing aids he gave me will give me back these "missing" sounds and put the tinnitus "back in the box it came out of" because my brain (me) will relax and stop seeking this noise.....This all made sense to me. However, he also said not to "pussy foot" round my hearing and not to be over protective of it so if I went to the odd loud concert there was no need to wear hearing protection and that I should let my ears do the job they are meant to do, this also made sense, which is why I didn't wear any 10 days ago at the circus! I want to add that the hearing aids did seem to make a difference to my tinnitus, they allowed me to hear much better and clearer than before and my tinnitus seemed to be getting better. So sorry for such a long post but I just wondered what you or any of the other tinnitus community on here thought about all of this??? If anyone has anything negative to say about my situation please keep it to yourself and don't post on here as I don't think I could take it. Only positive replies please. Thank you in advance xx
I’ve had this since I was 7, went to a Christmas party last week & now I’m in full panic mode with hell of a noise in my head.. I done really well with Cbt in the past but this time it’s so bad I’d rather die at the moment, your videos have been a godsend in the past…… here we go again
So sorry to hear you are going through this at the moment. You could find more help and support including live Q&A sessions through my app www.quietenapp.com Wishing you a steady recovery, Julian
@@JulianCowanHill well I have to update as I was in such an awful place, I joined your webinar on Friday, good to meet you & I have been following your advice which I have previously, I’m 1 week into a big spike that’s very stressful & with a lot of looking after myself, jacuzzi, meditation & bringing my anxiety down I’m in a much better place, I’ve had a couple of hours peace & quiet this morning!! Anxiety down, tinnitus focus down, now need to get on a long term lifestyle change to look after myself, the tinnitus will follow… so thank you again Mr Hill & I’ll join you in the new year, The Quieten App has been good to listen to for advice & meditation, no negativity on there at all, makes a huge difference… I’m in fact in my kitchen in silence typing this & although I can hear it I’m not stressed.. wonderful change from a week ago..
I understand What you mean with calming down internally. Tinnitus was almost quite. Unfortunately didnt last till night because of Bad experience with sleeping. I guess it needs more practice to be calm down the whole day
I have had tinnitus for 2 1/2 months now. I am trying my best to deal with it. My husband massages my back and it does make it better for a little while. I saw one of you videos where you said that you had insomnia when you had tinnitus. How did you deal with that? I have noticed when I watch tv my tinnitus gets even louder. I really love your videos it gives me hope that it may get better some day.
Thank you so much for all your wonderful advice! You are my biggest help in coping with Tinnitus. Just bought your book "From Tyrant to Friend" a couple of days ago. Priceless. 💯👍
This is amazing 🤩 I have had buzzing for three weeks now. Very frustrating for me, I’ve had panic attacks and anxiety for 10 years. I’m so tired of this, I live alone and this buzzing is so bothersome. I’m aggravated as to why I got it. Just a squelching buzz.
Sorry to hear you are struggling. You can find a lot more help and support here without any negative comments or being flipped into distressing videos: www.quietenapp.com
Very very grateful to you. Suffering from Ti. from last 10 years getting worse day to day . Watched all video s.. gets hope to some extent thanks a lot....
I wish it was so easy to find a good therapist. I have been to a few, not so good. went to a cranial massage, very expensive, and not so good. I was not relaxed afterward. I am so tired of going to all these people thinking they may help, nothing yet.
Reiki works wonders if you are a practitioner or if can find someone to do it for you. Sometimes T irks the s***out of me but these days i give it no emotions. I have experienced 2 days of it backing off completely then i had a deep tissue massage ( should of done soft tissue massage) which has my body tense and sore and me stressing if it will come back because i had 2 days of silence, yes it came back quite high but its quieting down again.
Thank you so much for your reply. Is it normal that the volume of tinnitus fluctuates throughout the day. I don't feel particularly stress or nervous and it suddenly gets louder & sharper. I can't quite understand why it keeps happenning even when I am in a calm & relaxed mood.
I have had T for over 20 yrs., and I know others who have had T for a lot longer than I . Well, maybe in another 20 yrs. it will fade away. When that happens, those who no longer are bothered by T will rejoice.
You are so right. I have had anxiety issues for years but no tinnitus. Then I had a heart attack and some panics attacks to follow and no tinnitus. Then 2 months after the heart attack I started with high level tinnitus one morning. Now, 6 months later with chiropractor, acupuncture, and some massage, still no relief. Maybe more massage will help
Julian, I have tinnitus since one year. The last week is very stressful and I was sick. Since two days I also hear a sound at my right side. Normally it's only left. Is their an explanation for? YesterdayvI have had a little panic attack cause of this new sound.
Yes absolutely. I think all body-based therapies are helpful for tinnitus. It's best to find someone you trust who is convenient to get to and who helps you switch off, rebalance, let go and relax deeply. Craniosacral therapy is a good therapy to start off with, if it exists near you.
I think got tinnitus from either an incident where a particle entered my ear and perforated my ear drum , however then a few days later I hit my head on a garage door quite hard... maybe due to balance issues and judgement. All I know is now I have tinnitus on my left ear but I’ve also noticed when I look up I get a whooshing sound on my left side of my head, like I’m hearing the blood flow similar to a yawn.. is this something you have come across? I don’t get it on the right side of my head.
Hi Julian. My tinnitus seems to react when watching TV, but for some strange reason it doesn’t react to the likes of listening to the radio. Is there chance I have a mild form of hyperaccusis?
Our relationship with different sources of sound has a huge impact on how we process them. If you are happy and relaxed, listening to the radio and have no negative associations, then this will probably be a positive experience. With the television, I would try and settle yourself down first maybe doing yoga or the boat mass meditation on my app which you will find on level four techniques www.quietenapp.com so that you can focus and settle yourself before you expose yourself to the TV. Once you have established a positive relationship with watching TV, then your hearing sensitivity is likely to settle. Hope this makes sense.
@@JulianCowanHill Hi my ent told me I have to live with this. My problem is when I awake in the mornings. Why do the buzzing awake me in the mornings. My spikes in both ears are about a level 10. What am I doing wrong
@@tm4913 I tried lavender extract oil mixed with I think another mint oil(I can tell you when I see the bottle again) and rubbed around my ears and neck seemed to calm mine down for few hours
I feel weird and unique in this world. I know people can have loud tinnitus. I just started taking doxepin beside klonopin many weeks ago.. my burning sensation subsided but my ears hurt so much in certain parts when I touch them. It gets worst at night..doctors don't know what happening.
I went to see Jonathon Hazel in the 80"s and wasn't impressed..when he talks about "the body " and the working parts in the brain..he's referring to normal fit people..not people who have had 2 hours crap sleep for 3 months..exposing these type of people to gradual sound exposure..is not what they want.. they need rest sleep recuperation recharge convalesencing recovery time...THEN you can talk habituation..he says that the places we live are too quiet with there double glazed windows and cavity wall insulation..and people struggling don't need this kind of quiet...sorry they do..it's not like it's an anachoeic chamber within a suspended room where u can hear the blood moving around your body..he also said all those people (and what a cross section they were) were all imagining the worldwide hum.. wrong again I'm afraid..as for his protege Jacky Shelkdrake..she had the worst reviews I'd ever seen ever..7/ 8 grand for this tinnitus retraining is a nonsense..a guy I know a Mr Eric Coulter told me that he'd spent many thousands with him and he did SFA for him..and he got more help from a book for 50p in a jumble sale....a God he is not.
Thank you so much for this video Julian. I’m reading your book at the moment. I have been thinking 💭 when you say not to listen to people who say it’s not possible to get better. If on one hand, as you say, this message can cause hopelessness it also puts you in a position where you have to say “right, i have this now, there’s nothing i can do to change it so I can dwell in desperation or start accepting it and learn to live with it”. If i believe it’s possible to get better then my mind starts racing about ways to heal it, researching all possible causes and all possible cures, things that i have to do and try out, therefore i put myself in a lot of stress. Does it make sense? I’m in this kind of loop at the moment... Do you think tinnitus is always he result of a stress response? Even when it could be the result of inner ear or systemic illnesses? I think i’m still looking for what caused it for me hoping to make it go away... Thanks julian
I thought about the same dilemma. I'm in this loop right now. I refuse to accept that I might have tinnitus for the rest of my life, but at the same time, my mother already had tinnitus for 14 years. But I'm much more resourceful and stubborn than she is and she almost immediatly accepted the doctors idea that she is stuck for life. I don't think I am, because I also had tinnitus in 2016 and it went away completely. I think that can happen again, but I'm still not 100% sure if the sound is coming from my brain or something else, like my arteries. At the moment I'm focusing on releasing tension. I've gone back the gym, I'm starting with yoga, I use a sauna from time to time and I've changed my sleeping rythm and diet completely. The tinnitus is about 80% better but I want it to go away completely. I fear that constantly trying too hard to force it away is what is actually keeping it there.
I'm heartbroken. I sing Julian's praises to everyone, and have followed his channel for over two years, since I got tinnitus. I left a comment on his other recent video, asking enthusiastically if he had heard of lens neurofeedback for help with tinnitus because I am exploring that here in the U.S., and I am curious if he has heard of that in use in London. He didn't reply for weeks, then I just checked and seems my entire comment had been deleted! Wow, really Julian? How hurtful. It was a friendly, conversational comment, just asking him something. He could have just said "Sorry, never heard of it" or "sorry, I have no experience with that, though I've heard of it". But to just ignore it and delete it? I'm really kind of shocked he did that. :((((
FB I wouldn't take the lack of response personally . Also comments can disappear from You Tube for a number of reasons . Many therapists and other health professionals putting videos up certainly wouldn't have the time to read or answer every comment posted . I think we can follow the helpful advice without feeling people owe us personal attention . Yes it would be nice if they could give us that but maybe they are just too busy .
You can practice the techniques and practices on my app in the first things first section: www.quietenapp.com Once you have learned the techniques then they are free and just depend on a bit of commitment to work on yourself by you. Hope this helps. Best wishes Julian

Hello Julian! My pain subsided a lot. Yesterday for the first time in 4 months I could here my ringing just a little in my left ear. And the one in my head stopped. Just for a day. God is healing me and thank you so much helping me too.
This is a helpful vid. Tinnitus is highly complex and there’s no one fix for all solution. The nervous system is a big proponent.

I was wondering the same thing.. been thinking about trying it
Thanks Julian, your videos help me a lot! :)
My husband tells me to just lay down and FLOP! He flops with me and how calming and relaxing it is. Something I never thought of doing.
Fantastic video
Thanks
Thanks so much. Great tips!
I have had T for over 20 yrs., and I know others who have had T for a lot longer than I . Well, maybe in another 20 yrs. it will fade away. When that happens, those who no longer are bothered by T will rejoice.
Try rubbing lavender extract oil cover your ears and neck. Get someone to massage it
You are so right. I have had anxiety issues for years but no tinnitus. Then I had a heart attack and some panics attacks to follow and no tinnitus. Then 2 months after the heart attack I started with high level tinnitus one morning. Now, 6 months later with chiropractor, acupuncture, and some massage, still no relief. Maybe more massage will help
Thank you man, god bless you
Julian, I have tinnitus since one year. The last week is very stressful and I was sick. Since two days I also hear a sound at my right side. Normally it's only left. Is their an explanation for? YesterdayvI have had a little panic attack cause of this new sound.
Hello Julian. Would you recommend acupuncture?
Yes absolutely. I think all body-based therapies are helpful for tinnitus. It's best to find someone you trust who is convenient to get to and who helps you switch off, rebalance, let go and relax deeply. Craniosacral therapy is a good therapy to start off with, if it exists near you.
Julian Cowan Hill hello. Thanks. I have found a place locally for cranio. I will give it a try.
Julian Cowan Hill can you get better with children? Heard that the stresses with children just stop any progression. Mine are certainly challenging 😂
How does cold showers help with getting rid of tinnitus?
Thank you so very deeply
Is neuromodulation is good for T
I think got tinnitus from either an incident where a particle entered my ear and perforated my ear drum , however then a few days later I hit my head on a garage door quite hard... maybe due to balance issues and judgement. All I know is now I have tinnitus on my left ear but I’ve also noticed when I look up I get a whooshing sound on my left side of my head, like I’m hearing the blood flow similar to a yawn.. is this something you have come across? I don’t get it on the right side of my head.
What kind of therapist would you recommend? Thank you
I recommend starting with craniosacral therapy. www.craniosacraltherapy.org/practitioner-search www.craniosacral.co.uk
Hi Julian. My tinnitus seems to react when watching TV, but for some strange reason it doesn’t react to the likes of listening to the radio. Is there chance I have a mild form of hyperaccusis?
Our relationship with different sources of sound has a huge impact on how we process them. If you are happy and relaxed, listening to the radio and have no negative associations, then this will probably be a positive experience. With the television, I would try and settle yourself down first maybe doing yoga or the boat mass meditation on my app which you will find on level four techniques www.quietenapp.com so that you can focus and settle yourself before you expose yourself to the TV. Once you have established a positive relationship with watching TV, then your hearing sensitivity is likely to settle. Hope this makes sense.
Do i really need to have an MRI done
Follow the advice of your doctor or ENT. Sometimes these are necessary.
@@JulianCowanHill Hi my ent told me I have to live with this. My problem is when I awake in the mornings. Why do the buzzing awake me in the mornings. My spikes in both ears are about a level 10. What am I doing wrong
@@tm4913 maybe the position you sleep affects something
@@aLbed12 no thats not it. Earbuds
@@tm4913 I tried lavender extract oil mixed with I think another mint oil(I can tell you when I see the bottle again) and rubbed around my ears and neck seemed to calm mine down for few hours
I feel weird and unique in this world. I know people can have loud tinnitus. I just started taking doxepin beside klonopin many weeks ago.. my burning sensation subsided but my ears hurt so much in certain parts when I touch them. It gets worst at night..doctors don't know what happening.
Thankyou so much!!
Sir can you tell how to deal tinittus related headaches
Thank u so much
I went to see Jonathon Hazel in the 80"s and wasn't impressed..when he talks about "the body " and the working parts in the brain..he's referring to normal fit people..not people who have had 2 hours crap sleep for 3 months..exposing these type of people to gradual sound exposure..is not what they want.. they need rest sleep recuperation recharge convalesencing recovery time...THEN you can talk habituation..he says that the places we live are too quiet with there double glazed windows and cavity wall insulation..and people struggling don't need this kind of quiet...sorry they do..it's not like it's an anachoeic chamber within a suspended room where u can hear the blood moving around your body..he also said all those people (and what a cross section they were) were all imagining the worldwide hum.. wrong again I'm afraid..as for his protege Jacky Shelkdrake..she had the worst reviews I'd ever seen ever..7/ 8 grand for this tinnitus retraining is a nonsense..a guy I know a Mr Eric Coulter told me that he'd spent many thousands with him and he did SFA for him..and he got more help from a book for 50p in a jumble sale....a God he is not.
Thank you so much for this video Julian. I’m reading your book at the moment. I have been thinking 💭 when you say not to listen to people who say it’s not possible to get better. If on one hand, as you say, this message can cause hopelessness it also puts you in a position where you have to say “right, i have this now, there’s nothing i can do to change it so I can dwell in desperation or start accepting it and learn to live with it”. If i believe it’s possible to get better then my mind starts racing about ways to heal it, researching all possible causes and all possible cures, things that i have to do and try out, therefore i put myself in a lot of stress. Does it make sense? I’m in this kind of loop at the moment...
Do you think tinnitus is always he result of a stress response? Even when it could be the result of inner ear or systemic illnesses? I think i’m still looking for what caused it for me hoping to make it go away...
Thanks julian
I thought about the same dilemma. I'm in this loop right now. I refuse to accept that I might have tinnitus for the rest of my life, but at the same time, my mother already had tinnitus for 14 years. But I'm much more resourceful and stubborn than she is and she almost immediatly accepted the doctors idea that she is stuck for life. I don't think I am, because I also had tinnitus in 2016 and it went away completely. I think that can happen again, but I'm still not 100% sure if the sound is coming from my brain or something else, like my arteries. At the moment I'm focusing on releasing tension. I've gone back the gym, I'm starting with yoga, I use a sauna from time to time and I've changed my sleeping rythm and diet completely. The tinnitus is about 80% better but I want it to go away completely. I fear that constantly trying too hard to force it away is what is actually keeping it there.
How are you now?
Aspirin is one of the things that causes mine.
is an osteopath a DO in america?
I doubt this will apply to most people reading this but do not smoke weed if you have tinnitus. Quit now if that is the case.
Why ?
Yea why
ThanK you for the Video.
Funny the scene with sighing:)
I am struggling with tinnitus and it’s giving me headaches and making me feel down can anyone help me
Have u tried wim hof it helps regeneration also
I tried it and it made my tinnitus worse than it has ever been. So I wouldn't suggest to anyone having tinnitus trying it.
Wim Hof can cause tinnitus so no thanks
Tinnitus? That's freedom ringing!

Made me laugh!
I do hv a tinninus also popping had started n whistling for 4@5 second plz julian help me um jus fed of my life plz help
I'm sorry you are having a difficult time. I hope you are better today.
Why does tinnitus have spikes?
Temporary stress factors, disease, insomnia and if you are a woman hormonal factors.
I'm gonna get a pacifier lol
What's with this guy...2 numbers on contact page...both the same..don't work..doesn't return emails.
I'm heartbroken. I sing Julian's praises to everyone, and have followed his channel for over two years, since I got tinnitus. I left a comment on his other recent video, asking enthusiastically if he had heard of lens neurofeedback for help with tinnitus because I am exploring that here in the U.S., and I am curious if he has heard of that in use in London. He didn't reply for weeks, then I just checked and seems my entire comment had been deleted! Wow, really Julian? How hurtful. It was a friendly, conversational comment, just asking him something. He could have just said "Sorry, never heard of it" or "sorry, I have no experience with that, though I've heard of it". But to just ignore it and delete it? I'm really kind of shocked he did that. :((((
FB I wouldn't take the lack of response personally . Also comments can disappear from You Tube for a number of reasons . Many therapists and other health professionals putting videos up certainly wouldn't have the time to read or answer every comment posted . I think we can follow the helpful advice without feeling people owe us personal attention . Yes it would be nice if they could give us that but maybe they are just too busy .
What about tinnitus 911 and Ring Ease, are the not working. I want to buy, anyone tried it yet?
I hate my life after being around 700 shots no hearing protection
Help
Cranial therapy is for people that can afford it I can’t afford it
You can practice the techniques and practices on my app in the first things first section: www.quietenapp.com Once you have learned the techniques then they are free and just depend on a bit of commitment to work on yourself by you. Hope this helps. Best wishes Julian
