How can Steroids (Prednisone) help with Tinnitus which is caused by bilateral Menieres 24/7 365 days a year? What is the amount and schedule? Steroids do have side effects. I can’t pay for consultation I’m on disability because it also effected my balance.
Mine started after a round of antibiotics from my dentist trying to perform a root canal.
I did have acupuncture on my neck which reduced the level of tinnitus but the acupuncturist would not do it again because it was very painful which is unusual.
My tinnitus started just after my medication on vivid 19. It's more than 3 years.
Everybody writes about having tinnitus. We need to hear from people who got rid of it.
My husband doesn't have it anymore. Hard to say what helped him, but the biggest change in his lifestyle is that he eats beef everyday and eats fruits (almost not veggies). We also soak all fruits in vinegar for 15 min to get rid of most pesticides. He also does not have migrens anymore (he used to have twice per year, and he was not able to function normally for at least 2 days ).
I had mild tinnitus and it went away when I went on a whole foods plant based diet, so no processed food. All real, natural food.
I largely got rid of it.
I don't know what exactly helped but I started taking this: Magnesium & Cordyceps & Lionsmane.
Maybe it's the combination, maybe it's just one supplement I benefit from most. I don't know
It went from very annoying I would say a 6 on the scale of 10, to a nearly not noticeable 2 on the scale of 10.
If it stays this way I'm a happy man (Been like this for 2 years now)
I'm able to decrease by 75%. I do acupressure on ST 8, head, temple massage, and a specific reiki technique.
@k.b.4430 please explain more detail. What is ST8? And reiki?
Taurine & B12, Ashwagandha supplements has helped me immensely in healing tinnitus. Keeping stress out is a great factor for relief 🙏God heal all being tormented by tinnitus in Jesus name Amen
Thanks for your info am on B12 I never heard of the supple to Taurine Ashwagandha were did you get these supplements
Amen in Jesus Name
Amen!
Amen
what mg do you take please - thx
My experience with the ENT is exactly as you describe it "You have hearing loss and tinnitus live with it , NEXT "
Exactly!
Went to 3 separate ENT’s…….
ALL said EXACTLY THR SAME!
Just the same for me...
Same here...with "eventually you'll go deaf, there's nothing that can be done with tinnitus". The only thing he didn't say was "Dismissed!"...but his attitude said it loudly. My bilateral continuous high-pitched hissing tinnitus onset is the result of dental work, but when I tried to talk to the specialist about it...he shook his head and changed the subject. I've learned over the past 5 years that I'll have to live with this because other than pushing a useless pill at it, there's nothing to be done and they don't want to be bothered anymore.
Same here :-(
My ENT, a man named Bengt Lie (swedish name - the last name doesn't mean "a lie", it means scythe), told me "Oh this tinnitus will go away." I got really hopeful and happy. Then he said "...when you die."
I'm just getting over tinnitus after being vaccinated two years ago. It's hell. I wish everyone going thru it a quick recovery.
My tinnitus started in 2015. I was just sitting on the floor watching a TV show one night and it never went away. Luckily I have become used to it and it doesn't affect me but I'm always scared it's gonna get louder and worse. That scares me
Hi, you mean the Covid vaccine? This is right about the same time after my 1st shot of Pfizer-BioNTech that I started to have Tin symptoms on my left side.
My tinnitus started when I got the Astra Zeneca vaccine. I wonder how many of us there are?
After the 3rd COVID shot, a few days later it has been a nightmare for over two years now. Nobody has answers. But I’m glad yours diminished/gone. Maybe there’s some hope.
Mine started after 2nd vaccine
My sister have tinnitus,I found and study done by an University from Chile,that a medicine given to alcoholics to stop drinking , happen to have a very good effect in reducing tinnitus,and have very little secundary effects,the name is Campral and the active principle is Acomprosato. My sister took the treatment for a year as was indicated,and the volume of the tinnitus noise became much lower and easier to tolerate ,sometimes the noise even goes away. I hope this info can be helpful for anyone suffering tinnitus.
I can't thank you enough! I'll look into it.
Acamprosate is a structural analogue of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
Thank you 🙏
Thank you 🙏
My ENT doctor said, "You don't have an ear problem. It's stress." and then left. If it's stress, why do I hear ringing in my right ear and why does it pop? I do have neck issues so this podcast makes total sense. ❤️ Very frustrating that so many people are dismissed this way!
Try chiropractor who uses the Y-strap! There are many great videos on youtube.
Mine too said age related hearing lol told her my ears feel full all the time and headaches i wake up with headache and jaw pain didn't even think to see a TMJ Doctor
Had it for years. I’ve just accepted it. 👍🏼
I went to an audiologist they told me there’s no cure for tinnitus and you’ll have it forever. Luckily I was of right mind otherwise I would have jumped off a bridge after hearing that. I later told the Dr he needs to tell the audiologist to stop telling patients it’s for life especially when it has just started.
I had tinnitus and it's true , I remember the GP just said 'You have tinnitus. Here's a leaflet...'
@@garethmorgan3665 you had tinnitus meaning in the past but now u no longer have it? Did it just go away one day or did you do something different that helped cure it?
@mikeg1872 hey Mike. I had it for several months after a bad cold about 10 years ago . I can't remember exactly how long it lasted for . It was intermittent . I took a nasel spray and that was about it.I still get it occasionally but if I ignore it it goes away and I just see it as an anxiety symptom now. How are you coping with it ?
Fasting and taurine can help a ton for many people.
@@LTPottengerI do intermittent fasting 16-8 but hasn’t helped much. Not familiar with taurine but maybe something I should check out. Thx!
I've had bilateral tinnitus for around 8 years now. Was very annoying for the first year, causing a deal of stress, but have gradually gotten used to it and sometimes forget I have it. I believe it was caused by a particular medication I was taking immediately prior to its onset, but doctors have disagreed. Strangely, in recent months I have been taking the same medication and after I ceased it a few weeks ago, I gradually realised my tinnitus had gone. Hopefully for good. Feels weird not having crickets and cicadas buzzing in my head all the time.
I think anastrazole has caused my tinnitus. It started after a surgery and now I have to take this pill for 5 years to avert cancer. It also can cause hair loss. I wonder if it has caused ear hair to fall out. I have only taken it for 4 -5 months….. I hate to think I have to wait 4 1/2 years to see if it will ever quit.
Both my son and I suffer from very debiliatiting tinnitus -- his from firearm exposure, and me, I had it from childhood and it just grew literally intolerable after getting sick with Covid. He was really struggling with it, so I convinced him to go to the hospital for help because he was feeling literally at the end of his rope with it -- I understand this so well. He went and they were very dismissive of it and told him they could do nothing to help him, really, no one could. He went home and four hours later he ended his life with his shotgun. I now struggle in the wake of this, and also feel very hopeless. I lost him, and I see no end to the tinnitus torment for myself. Every single day is a struggle, and nights are even worse. In one last ditch effort, I made an appointment next month for a hearing clinic that supposedly specializes in tinnitus, that is within my insurance network. I'm praying for relief -- any kind -- at this point. God bless everyone suffering with this torment. Mom to Anthony Thomas 1/2/23 forever 29
Condolences and Prayers to you for comfort and healing for the loss of your son. Covid definitely
increased my Tinnitus as well. What worked for me to keep it away or barely detectable are the following: Plant based, whole food diet and lowered stress, plus supplements like B complex, D3 with K2, B12 drops along with spending time in nature. I use sound therapy, Binaural beats and journaling to manage my stress. Most importantly a lot of prayer and meditation. Praying you receive some relief and total healing. 🙏🏾
thank you I will try these methods too@@thesensitivesoulnetwork9092
I’m so damn sorry for your loss. I also got tinnitus from a firearm. Now 2.5 yrs. I’m dry fasting right now which is why I’m listening to all this today. I seldom feel there’s no way out bc the spikes are so high with blast tinnitus. I’m also stressed as I’m sure your son was. My dad understands this but my sisters and mom are freaking heartless. I miss life! Just going to a pub and enjoying a pint! Alcohol helps while drinking it but the following day is brutal. But alcohol is not the answer for anything. God bless you sir.
😊
I'm so very sorry you're dealing with all of this. It has to feel overwhelming and hopeless at times. ❤
Take the quiz. And maybe even do a zoom call with this Doctor if you must. Rely on loving family and Friends to help you through it. I used to carry the burden of sadness and pain from the loss of my mother. I didn't want to be a bother to others. They realized this and stepped in. And I found a therapist I connected with. Participating in social and physical activities I liked was huge for my depression. And that all helped.
To stop my tinnitus, I listen to the same pitch as my tinnitus which has fast bursts of the sound and silence. When I feel it disappear I stop the sound until it comes back, then repeat until it’s dramatically reduced for a long period of time.
I was lucky to discover the technique because an app I use (belltone calmer) happened to have sounds at the right pitch (birds plus crackling fire played simultaneously)
Your guest is correct in that most ENT doctors do not have a clue about tinnitus with the usual response being you will just have to put up with it or suggesting some expensive hearing aid with white or other colour sound to mask it. I did the rounds of ENT "specialists" and in the end it was my own research plus a knowledgeable chiropractor that diagnosed it as somatic linked to a forward head position from too much time on a computer. Since I can alter the sound by simply rubbing my head I have come to understand that it is a fascia problem that links it to the autonomous nervous system. This means a fascia problem in another part of the body, in my case a lower back disk operation, can link to the semiautomatic sensory center and so is helped by fascia release which chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons achieve inadvertently.
Thank you for sharing this, it makes total sense to me.
I’ve had lower back disc surgery as well. Can you please elaborate on how you get relief?
My ears started ringing/buzzing in 2015. I swore i was going to end my life. I mean that. I became so so depressed. Ive gotten used to it thankfully but would be amazing to find a cure or treatment of some sort. I think its nerves in my neck/back, and shoulders. Maybe even my jaw. Thanks for sharing this info ❤
same here. i think my cause is same as ur causes. for example if i flex my face muscles / jaw on ward. the tinnitus will reduce from 10/10 to 2/10 but when i release the flexing to normal. it will go back to 10/10
Honey, try the tinnitus scrubber by : Dale snail....find him he is an engineer that puts frequencies out when it is bad.
@@hatty101hi, mine is the opposite, certain jaw movements change it from a 5/10 so a 8/10. Gets much louder, I haven’t found anything that lowers the volume.
@@hatty101yours definitely sounds like nerve issues.

I had tinnitus for approx. 30 years.I have dual tones....one high tone and a low tone most of the 30 years...and is in both ears and it it continuous.
About 5 years ago when it got louder I went to ENT....took the hearing test and they said I have a range of hearing loss.
However I feel that the tone is in the head and ears.About 3 years ago I went to a chiropractor that also specializes in N.A.E.T. which is an allergy elimination technique.After several treatments the tinnitus stopped in my right ear.
It still remains in my left and is dual tone.I have tried almost everything for it in the 30 years.Very grateful that it stopped in the right ear.
Sometimes the ringing will get loud while I sleep and it wakes me up.Some days it is louder than other days.So there has been no such thing as to sit in a quiet setting and have peace.....the band is playing all the time.I still look forward to a day where I can hear and feel silence once again.....!
Cheers....!
Yours is very similar to my tinnitus - I have high pitched jet engines in both ears, but worse in the left, and a low pitch in the right as well. When at it's worse I feel there is an increased pressure in my ears, but otherwise no real rhyme or reason. Low volume storm sounds at night helps me sleep. I think playing in rock bands and riding motor bikes probably caused mine, it would be very wonderful if it could be stopped after hearing the constant shrill for 35 years.
@@foxmoongaze I hear you foxmoongaze...I too am guilty of the loud turned up amplifiers playing in rock bands...and also power tools.All I know if my tinnitus would stop I'd be crying tears of joy.
Believe god will heal you
@@gunzrloaded pun intended? 😉
@gunzrloaded How you can survive with tinnitus after 30 years? How you can sleep each night?
Thought I'd add my 2 cents about this video, my somatic tinnitus, and some steps that have proven some relief.
My experience in the beginning is exactly what Dr. Golenhofen described. In my case, it was a waking up one morning and hearing a loud repeating tone around +13000 khz in my left ear. I wasn't undergoing a particularly stressful period in my life, I'm almost near *religious* with using hearing protection (ie: Mowing lawn, driving, don't go to concerts, listen to music softly, etc..) and I have no previous use of ototoxic medication, stimulants, alcohol use, infections or pain.
To say my initial consultation with my first ENT was disappointing is putting it mildly. The appointment started with a gruff "WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" when they noted I did not have any measurable hearing loss on my audiogram. Upon asking some questions as to what sort of treatment plan I could expect, my appointment ended with me being walked out of the clinic in a confused state, being told I should talk to my dentist. I would say that *this* is where the stress then started from.
After quite a few rounds of seeing different specialists (Physiotherapists, Dentists, TMJ specialists, other ENT's) - I came across one TMJ specialist that noted - while I did not have TMJ disorder, I should be screened for *Sleep Apnea*, due to a small throat opening - and referred me to see a sleep specialist.
Upon seeking the help of a sleep specialists, I underwent a sleep study, and the doctor there was *super* helpful. He identified I had UARS (Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome) and prescribed the use of a Bi-PAP machine. His argument was that *untreated sleep apnea can be a factor in night bruxism (teeth clenching)*. Clenching can put pressure on the cervical and jaw joints, which can ascerbate and irritate nerves that pass through these areas. The argument is that the body is fighting for sufficient oxygen during the night, and one's mouth will move / clench / struggle if there is not enough oxygenated air passing through. (Incidentally, this might also be an argument as to why one's tinnitus disorder is can be alleviated when they undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy) .
There are some case studies dating back to 2009 in the sleep apnea field of patients alleviating their tinnitus disorder through use of CPAP machines or mandibular-advancement devices. Furthermore, given that a CPAP machine increases the overall air pressure in the sinus and auditory, oxygen levels in these pathways is increased (making it harder for harmful Anaearobic bacteria to grow) and open up synovial passageways to help them drain properly. Lastly, untreated sleep apnea can result in loud snoring / low blood oxygen levels / Stress and fatigue, which can also acerbate our perception of one's tinnitus disorder.
...
I mention this, because - unfortunately in my case - the ENT's that I consulted with *did not* pick up that I had sleep apnea / UARS. It took a visit to a 3rd dentist for them to notice. I was really surprised by this, as you would figure that an Ears-Nose-*Throat* doctor would at the very least screen for it.
Hope this helps.
How is your tinnitus now?
OMG, I found this physician about 5 years ago. He has a tinnitus clinic in Munich. I thought seriously about going to see him. 😊
I had it for years, what helped me was cut out caffeine, sugar and alcohol completely. Its hard but worked.
@JohnDoe2024-br2rf I would say about 3 month's. You noticed after a couple weeks it's not as noticeable. But after a couple months it seems gone.
This doctor is wonderful. He gets the whole scope and range of the human experience of this disorder! He finally said DISORDER!!!Long may we conquer. Peace to all.
I had tinnitus in one ear for 20 years and managed to deal with it with white sound therapy and time. 2 years ago, I developed a sound which seemed to come from more my brain than my ears and keep changing in intensity, disappear for a few day from time to time and sometimes from month stops me from concentrating, work etc..I also get tingling sensation in my neck and upper back, dizziness and headaches linked to the intensity of the tinnitus. I've seen countless of ENT doctors, who charged crazy amount of money to give me an hearing test ( even though I tell them it hasn't been affected) don't listen to me, don't ask me questions, gaslight me telling me theses sensations and headaches are not linked, and tell me to go and see a psychologist and relax. What a rip off and how those people do drive me crazy ( which has no impact on that sound).
Last ENT I spoke to about my tinnitus in my right ear do to noise damage, made me feel real good, by telling me learn to live with it, no cure. and invoiced me for $250.00
Hello, first and foremost, thank so much for your kindness providing assurance for those people who are suffering from from tinnitus like
Somatic type here. Keep up your good work. You are validating my self-help.
I've noticed that my mental health is 💯 linked to it... when I'm not stressed depressed etc it's almost gone and can deal with it better. So I'm trying to rectify that to address my tinnitus
A ray of sunshine!!! Finally! Thank you!
I am deaf in my right ear,and losing my hearing slowly on left, I was diagnosed with Menniers Disease, which affects the inner vestibular of the ear,I live a constant life of tinnitus,bad sometimes,and do-able at others, I was treated with Gentimyicin Injections which were very painful,and I take Betahistine every day, I also wear hearing aids, which can be bothersome at times with the noise level and my tinnitus combined! And I trust in my ENT Doctor very much!! The dizzy effect,or drop attacks have lessened,because of treatmentfrom my Ent Doctor, with meds, diet, and my outlook on life,stress & anxiety is also a big factor as well. I will be 60yrs old next month,and I have had this for over 30 yrs now.
I am having it same as you.
I am 41 years old.
Wow. You are all wonderful, caring, and dedicated doctors! May God bless you both and your teams with everything you need and more. Wisdom, understanding, peace, joy, and much, much more!
I’ve always said that I wanted to get to the root cause of my tinnitus and this Dr is so right when he says that most doctors say there is no hope. I will try to go to see him soon- thank you for this video!
Taking proactive steps towards seeking help is a commendable decision. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and best of luck on your journey to finding relief!
It's been 6 years since I've suffered sudden hearing loss on my left ear. For some time I was experiencing tinnitus on both sides, but one day... puff. In a moment, the whole world started to spin, and in about 15 minutes there was no sound on the left side. I still perceive quite intense tinnitus even on my deaf side. I try and take it with a bit of humor, go to the doctors, psychiatrist and all, but it gets really frustrating from time to time.
Same boat, putting up with it....😣
2 years sshl left side it's a nightmare
Same scenario as your only right ear,still have tinnitus at 7 years but it's much lighter, God help us
It's horrible, it also as given me brain fog and apparently that's a symptom that occurs after sudden hearing loss
Menieres is a life changer!!
Thank you for this discussion. Immensely insightful 🙏🏻
I'm glad you found the discussion insightful! Understanding more about tinnitus can make managing it feel more manageable. Your appreciation means a lot. 💜
My tinnitus started right after having ENT remove earwax and seeing inflammation in ear, prescribed drops and within 10 days tinnitus, pressure, hearing loss. All this 9 months ago. They tried to sell hearing aids, saying no other help. It's depressing. Does anyone also feel kind of disoriented sometimes? I get that too. Sleep is a challenge, I can distract myself during the day.
What were the drops you used? Antibiotic?
I woke up sept 28 2020 and was deaf and head felt numb, plus had tinnitus. I went to the doctor right away as I was aware it was somewhat of an emergency, heard this from someone else that this happened to but he waited 2 months, anyway doc thought I had a blockage even though he didn't see anything and sent me home to put ear drops in for 4 days and then did a flush and no changes, set me up with ENT this was during covid so the ENT doc just talked to me over the phone. I called the ENT office to ask the girls where my referral was at, and ended up losing another 12 days there waiting, ENT doc say oh too bad you didn't get in earlier because with prednisone we could have reversed your hearing loss 🤔 um you had the referral long ago doc, but yup so lost 80% of my hearing in right ear, chronic tinnitus and yes I too had suicidal thoughts. I'm used to it now but I'm still looking for answers, I also suffer from vertigo, is it meniere's disease, or do I have nerve issues. I demanded an MRI and I got one And they said they didn't see anything. The ENT specialist figures I had a virus that caused the hearing loss. I think I had Covid and it could be from that. Needless to say there is a device called the Lenire it was just approved in the US April 2023 it is a bi-modal stimulation and and has been proven to get rid of or reduce tinnitus in patients. This device zaps your tongue and you listen to music at the same time. I can hardly wait till we get it in Canada. I will be all over it or I'll buy my own machine when I can. Good luck everyone!.
Inner ear problems also cause vertigo and that is why you could be feeling disorientated, but vertigo is more like the room is spinning. Which i hope you don't get. It could be fluid in the ear. I would recommend going back to the ENT specialist about the disorientation.
@@anson.meadows Yes it was an antibiotic.
@@user-ic5fg3nd4d I had the prednisone and injection but it did nothing, had an MRI, that too was negative. I share your frustration, this is so difficult to deal with!!!
Thanks for your dedication to the tinnitus community Dr Ben. This interview is certainly helpful.
I'm glad you found this interview helpful. It's great to know that resources like this podcast are making a positive impact and offering valuable insights for the community. 💜
I'm having to deal with this on my own, as I'm long term travelling (Not that I would give a seconds credit to the doctors in my home country to deal with it. Lost all faith in them after the last few years)It's very interesting to hear this doctor talking about the somatic/jaw/dental aspect. I'm sure this is what mine is about, as it started suddenly one morning, along with a sense my jaw had 'dislocated' overnight,. I've been doing exercises and lymph drainage techniques picked up on RUclips from excellent therapists and it is all gradually diminishing :)
I’ve had tinnitus since my early 30s . It got worse in 2020 after a month long illness but I’ve been doing all I can and have had some relief . No doctor ear or otherwise seems to know anything! I always have a slight sound on the right side of head but sometimes my left side goes crazy but everyday I have low volume it’s great but it can go back to a screaming mode with no explanation but I can usually lower it back ! I’m 67 now so I’ve been dealing with this for a long time !
ruclips.net/video/NxNfh6nw3lU/видео.html
Same here right ear tinnitus sometimes my left Sioe for some reason activates higher than my right. The first time i got really scared after it happen to me a few times i just got used because eventually the left side goes back to normal and the right is just still there EEEEEEEE~
9:30 pm
I haven't had tinnitus very long, but it is very aggravating. I have noticed that if I eat a lot of sugar, that's when my tinnitus gets really loud. UGG!!
Do you have neck issues?
@@angelfire9094 , yes, actually I do. My ex-husband hit a telephone pole in the '90's and caused me to get whiplash on my left side. I'm always pulling the same muscle on that side. When it pulls, it incapacitates me for a few seconds and sends pain straight up into my brain.
My ears would ring even as a child of 6 years old. Im 57 now and it still rings
Thank you kindly for the information, tinnitus is very very, strange experiance. Makes your preceptions go 🎉🎉🎉
I got tinnitus after the Covid booster. I went to a hearing specialist and they said there’s nothing that can be done. I also get pressure when I get up like the pressure when you’re in a plane.
i have it after covid
Same here.
Thank you for this video. I have a better understanding of my friend's frustration with her doctors . I imagine the doctors also experience frustration when they cannot help their patients with tinnitus.
I might have to travel to Germany to have a proper diagnose, I’m pretty sure my tinnitus is somatic, but usually hear from audiologists “there’s nothing you can do, bear with it”
Just listening to this presentation resulted in a noticeable drop in my mono lateral tinnitus. A clear explanation of the condition with hope for treatment is very powerful in simply reducing my overall anxiety level. I know in my case that when the stress/anxiety level increases, the tinnitus becomes so loud that it can cause panic. Taking control with meditation or breathing exercises will usually bring calm and lower the tinnitus perception. Seek help if you cannot manage on your own.
Thank you for this - my son is struggling w it now Susan RN used to work in ENT so many factors he has cervical issues has dental device for Apnea allergies - going to follow your info❤
I tell myself it is the fridge or a/c & the. I don’t notice it. Jesus supernaturally healed me of a growing possibly cancerous mole after listening to healing Scriptures 6 wks. My Faith exploded! Saw that mole SHRINK before my eyes. I need to listen to Healing Scriptures again. We have to renew our minds. Increase our faith everyday.”By Christ’s stripes you are healed.”
Great interview, wonderful information here. I developed bilateral tinnitus back in March 2023 with no hearing loss. I am finally seeing a TMJ specialist this coming Wednesday. I am hopeful but remain realistic. Therapy has been crucial in my healing. I use my ears for work so it is quite difficult so manage sometimes. For everyone out there suffering, just know there is a huge community of us out there and we can find ways to manage this condition. There is hope!
In my case it was the over prescribing of ototoxic antibiotics since I was a child … then one day in my 60’s I was given Metronidazole (Flagyl) by error and it not only permanently damaged both ears where tinnitus is now beyond tolerance, it wreaked havoc with my vestibular network, blew out my left eye’s macula, and caused severe brain injury from toxic encephalopathy.
So sorry to hear that.
!????!😮
@@carloscontreras3633 May I answer a specific question? All was medically well documented and confirmed.
Wow. Sorry to hear that. thank you for posting because on occasion …. When I have a flare up, my doc will prescribe that for me. I have only taken it twice. I hope it never happens again because I don’t want to take that med after reading your comment. I now have ringing but I think it is because I have to take anastrazole.
Dr.Golenhofen and Dr. Ben are just excellent professionals! This was a great video! Great information. I always enjoy when Treble features Dr. GOLENHOFEN! VERY INTELLIGENT!
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed this podcast. 💜
Went to the top ear doc in pittsburgh. Was told no idea what was happening no cure or treatment. I left dumb founded. Fast forward to seeing an ortho several years later Who asked me without prompting from me-how bad the ringing in my ears was at my first exam. Adult braces took it down about 50%. They believe mine is tmj related. Working on sleep, stress, night guards etc. I’m hopeful now!!
Happy for you :-)
I'm so glad I found this. It answered many questions I had about my tinnitus. I understand so much more than I did. I now have a new direction in getting help. Thank you.
You're welcome! I'm thrilled to hear that the podcast has been helpful for you!
Such outstanding insight about the tinnitus subject given by this Doctor. Please continue with more information regarding this important issue.
Thank you for your kind words! Rest assured, we'll continue to delve deeper into the intricacies of tinnitus and provide more essential insights in upcoming episodes.
Have tinnitus from playing music . I use plugs on stage . A recent sinus infection has pushed it harder and at times I’m waking up in the middle of the night with it exacerbated and it’s keeping me awake 😞 Seeing the doctor on tues in hope that getting rid of the sinus infection will reduce the tinnitus
I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing with tinnitus, especially after dealing with a sinus infection. It's a wise decision to consult with your doctor, and I hope resolving the sinus issue provides some relief for your tinnitus. Best of luck with your upcoming doctor's appointment - I'm sending positive thoughts your way!
Some of us need procedures, and medical treatment is what is needed.
Excellent insight. Thank you!
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found the insights helpful. ♥
Thank you for sharing your wisdom of knowledge.....
I have had tinnitus now for the past two years..or so..
my hearing is fine as I I'm having a checked on a regular basis..
I do have arthritis through my neck and body...
it seems like when I do heavy lifting .. the ringing becomes louder and tighter..
I'm accepting as an arthritis side effect..
Yoga and exercise is my go to game to stay on my game..
I had a very light tinnitus for 2 years I think, but some weeks/month ago it got louder and annoying. My ENT doctor said that it's coming from my neck/jaw muscles and he can do nothing about it. That seems plausible, I can change frequency/intensity by pressing my cheeks or moving my jaw. Or by pressing jaw muscles with my fingers. I've started to grit my teeth because I've been under a lot of stress recently. Father died, grandpa died, dog died, wife got depression, trouble with job etc.
Now I saw that my dentist specialises in the treatment of CMD. I told her what the ENT specialist had said and she laughed, saying that we have good chance of improving my tinnitus. She made me a bite splint and gave me a prescription for 15 appointments of physiotherapy. Lets see, I am sleeping now with the bite splint and sometimes I already forget about the tinnitus. Tomorrow first time physiotherapy.
Both of you ABSOLUTELY ROCK!!! I'm an 82 year old retired Doctor of Psychology, suffering from Pulsatile Tinnitus for five years! Now I have some direction!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It's truly an honor to provide support and direction to someone with your extensive background. Wishing you comfort and ease on your journey with tinnitus
I'm so happy to have found this channel... I wonder if you know anywhere in the UK that specialise in tinnitus?
The ringing in my ears is so bad I sometimes get a busy signal....
I have suffered from bilateral tinnitus for over a year. I have had a hearing test which showed normal hearing. My professional training is in periodontics. I have studied dental mal-occlusion and TMD in dental school. I believe somatic causes have contributed to my tinnitus. I believe the following conditions have contribute to my somatic tinnitus. Sleep apnea, heavy clenching and night time teeth grinding, and in-ear head phones. I am a firm believer that the use of some popular inner ear headphones with strong noise canceling and bluetooth radio frequencies can mount an undue burden to the auditory system when other somatic factors have already sensitized it. I think the role of sleep apnea could not be overstated. Sleep apnea could lead to extreme clenching and grinding, inflammation and pain in muscles of mastication, cervical neck region and stress to the auditory system. In my opinion, the relationship of tinnitus to auditory system and cranial nerve VIII is the same as trigeminal neuralgia to cranial nerve V. I would be interested to know if any physicians or dentists here might have any feedback?
Has anyone ever studied people with kyphosis (hunchback/ forward head posture) and tinnitus?
Mine came on sudden - out of nowhere, although at the time I was complaining over and over about having a sinus infection or ear infection- for which no ENT agreed.
My audiologist suggested to go to my dentist, and he felt something was wrong but could not see anything on my tooth X-ray - however he gave me 875mg amoxicillin for 10 days and within 48 hours the tinnitus calmed way down. With the antibiotics, I also lost the cheekbone pain, ear fullness, and this weird fullness down the side of my neck (if I puffed my right cheek, I would hear fluid behind my ear squish and then I could take my hand and squish that fluid down the side of my neck), and I had a painful right jaw and clicking - but then the antibiotics were finished and the tinnitus returned at a low level. However none of the other strange symptoms returned - except for the jaw pain, which never went away.
My dentist said to see an endodontist (root canal specialist) as they can do a cat scan and that doctor said it is very evident I am grinding my teeth hard on the upper right back teeth, and that is causing issues with the teeth and feeling face pain and jaw pain and jaw clicking. He said it could make the sinus and ears hurt - but that weird fluid thing that was happening when I puffed my check (which was there for 2 months but completely disappeared with antibiotics is a mystery).
So I don’t know if I had some weird infection that antibiotics killed and then also have some grinding / TMJ issue ? I feel if antibiotics made the tinnitus lower or non-existent and then returned some once I stopped taking antibiotics that something bacteria must of been going on?
The other issue is that I have scoliosis and kyphosis- and so now I also wonder, is it postural and maybe the antibiotics and all that were just coincidence? That maybe something is shifting in my neck and nerves which made it quiet for a few days and now back slightly. When it first happened it was a high pitched dog whistle sound 24/7/365 and I could not hear over it. Now it’s still high pitched metallic ssssss but much lower --
When I went to the ENT for this sudden onset tinnitus- I said it’s too ironic that I have complained of fullness in my ear and sinus on the right side and now have right side tinnitus- it has to be correlated. He ran a hearing test which measured the pressure in the middle ear and there was no fluid. The audiologist said my hearing is normal, but the ENT pointed to some upper frequency hearing loss on my test (audiologist said this is normal of anyone my age) and said ohh this is why, and that his conclusion is that I am getting older (51) and that this just happens. That this is nothing one can do about and to get to grips with it.
I said how it’s only on my right side and how do know if I have a tumor or anything going on? He said cuz the minor upper frequency loss on the hearing test is equal of both ears - so nothing more to do here. No scans, no tests, just live with it and told me to get a good psych doc cuz many folks can become suicidal- oh and Happy Thanksgiving, oh he also threw in how not to follow anything on the internet - how it’s all snake oil online, when the truth is there is nothing that can be done.
I dunno it’s exhausting but this channel has been very helpful.
I have scoliosis and kyphosis and I started getting a wooshing blood flow sound in my right ear 3 years ago. I don´t know if there is any connection between scoliosis and kyphosis and my persistent wooshing blood flow sound. I went to a chiropractor and he told me that we can correct kyphosis easily by correcting the posture and exercises to straighten it ! I hope it helps a bit. Good luck. Meditation works for me.
Watch caring medical on RUclips dr Ross Hauser
Thx for the great video, i would love to meet him
I went through everything you just described with my ENT.I have unilateral tinnitus with high pitch hissing for 2 years and nothing was prescribed for it or diagnosed! We do not have such knowledgeable doctors like your guest here in Canada, unfortunately!
You just described my tinnitus symptoms. I use hearing aids and I've learned not to focus on the sounds
They do not have them in the US either
My ENT told me, well my husband has it too. Ordered a hearing test which was normal..
I got constant tinnitus right after having my metal fillings drilled out by a dentist who didn’t take precautions. It’s been 3 years and there is no relief. I had to make peace with it. It’s so bad that even in a noisy environment I still hear it.
Mask it. It literally saved my life. I bought hearing aids that I can turn on white noise.
Right there with ya.
Why did removing your metal fillings cause tinnitus?
Same happened to me 2017 after my dentist visit.
Hi mate happened to me I had tiny hole in back tooth filling , dentist give me 3 injection drilled the living daylight out of my old filling then put completely new one in 2 day later I got infection in cheek and ear she gave me antibotics the infection cleared up 2 day later but gave me pulsating tinnitus then normal tinnitus in both ears I went back and she said its through my tmj joint😂 and now I'm tortured😢😢
Always makes me chuckle when it is pronounced tin-uh-tus
Thank You for this very informative video. I had off/on tinnitus for many years. Then about over a decade ago it became '24/7' (the only time I do not 'hear' it is when I am asleep.) I am going to check in to the Tinni-Care first then probably contact you. Thank You Sooooo very much. I am an older person who had TMJ before it had a 'name'. And you will be hearing from me. Thank You very Much ;-)

I got Tinnitus 7 years ago. I had gotten Lyme disease and got very sick, had a rash all over my body and a fever. It was during the infection that the Tinnitus started. I went on Antibiotics for a month for the Lyme, but the Tinnitus stayed. My life is very stressful now and I am not sleeping well. It definitely is worse when I am stressed and not eating well.

Yes, I got Tinnitus, from Lyme Disease. It sucks. I wish you all the best. 🧡
@@mariabentele7909 thank you. I wish you the best too
Try eating red seedless grapes organic if you can and wash them good it will help for sleep.
Psychotropic medications play a huge factor in Tinnitus. Mine started many years ago when Dr. Gave me Amitriptyline for back pain.
Yes mine was from Venlafaxine
I'm on endep similar to OP no change at all same tone.
Yes, mine started when I went through benzo withdrawal. I experience significant relief following the program through Treble Health.
Mine started after I took Wellbutrin. It worked great for my ADHD but the med has a rare side effect of tinnitus.
Ive always suffered from tinnitus but mainly only noticeable when in bed but it was mild then my doctor told me i had a build up of wax in my ear so gave me otex ear drops ive now had the loudest ringing in my right ear for 10 days and its driving me mad 😭 ive also lost hearing in it 🤦🏻♀️ im hoping and praying it goes 🤞 ive been experiencing terrible migraines and tingling sensations down face and arms (which has luckily gone) just the migraines and tintinitus 🙈 i also have mineres.
I've had tinitis for five years. I had a severe infection with lesions in and on my ears related to having Lyme disease. My ears were screaming during infection. Now it's still loud. 24/7 never goes away.
I’ve had tinnitus for many years and the last couple of years it’s been worst in my right ear, hearing test was ok, I don’t have hearing loss just normal for my age (49). It get worst with stress, I listen to noise mask at least one hour daily, it helps but it is persistent and annoying sometimes but I learned how to deal with it, luckily.
I got it right after booster also!
Have had severe tinnitus and headaches since an infection after a dental implant 4 mos ago. My experience with my ENT was just as you described "Nothing I can do for you. You need to learn to live with it". I have since started seeing my Chiropractor, and with an adjust and acupressure it improved slightly. Praying that this progress will continue. I will also be consulting Treble Health for help as well. Thank you

My ENT doctor told me it's tinnitus there is no cure. Have a look on line but stay away from the negative sites and try to stay positive. That was that. 2 years on I am learning to live with it, trying to stay positive and at times I do forget for a short time that I have it. I take comfort from your channel and your guest speakers.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggle with tinnitus, but it's commendable how you've embraced a positive approach despite the initial diagnosis. Managing to forget about it at times is a significant achievement in adapting to the condition. I'm glad our channel and guest speakers bring you comfort along your journey. 💜
Thank you gentlemen for your sincerity in your podcast. I live in Australia so not sure how I can have this workout. I will take the test and see how I go. Your advice is appreciated!
I'm grateful for your kind words about the podcast and glad it resonated with you. Even from Australia, taking the advice and exploring the suggested test could potentially offer insights or guidance for your situation. Best of luck! ♥
I took it and it’s mild. The cost $29 is that monthly or a once off?
Please tell us how to find qualified physicians. I recently saw an ENT and in three minutes I got this great piece of advice: “There is no cure. You will have to learn to live with tinnitus”. Wow… I felt wonderful after hearing that.

That's interesting what the doctor said about malocclusive restorations and tinnitus. I'm a dentist (prosthodontist) and developed tinnitus after a severe bout of flu in boarding school. That was 40 years ago ( 1983) I was 15. It started like the sound of a neverending high pitched tuning fork in one ear. Now it's like jet plane. By the way never taught any correlation between tinnitus and dental restorations at school or residencies
I got my tinitus over 40 years ago
Its loud
So loud
Car accident and depressed fracture of my skull
I cant participate in discussion unless its one on one
@@catherinemardling7827there is a homoeopathic remedy called Nat Sulph which is for head injuries, doesn’t matter how long ago. Give it a try, it worked for a friend of mine or see a Homoeopath? Namaste 🙏
i would say dr golenhofen is the foremost authority on this affliction. hes absolutely brilliant and fascinating to listen to......peple should fly to germany if they have a bad case
I’ve had tinnitus for many years. Mine was from working in a laud factory for 30 years. The worse time is at night trying to get to sleep with the constant ringing. Some nights it drives me crazy.
I’ll know I’m dead when I have complete silence again. 😢
Boy, isn't that the truth...
Let's hope so.
I won't stop until mine is gone, honestly. I haven't been to a chiro in about 6 months, but I'm going back. I have no doubt that it's either caused from my sinus infection I had recently, and an ENT *can* help with the middle ear issues I have, or my chiro can adjust my beck and back and try acupuncture, since that's also proven to help. I might even go for massages for my upper back and neck, since those muscles are always tight for me...which I'm told magnesium helps with (And I've read magnesium helps with tinnitus, too), so I'm...trying it all.
@@christabelle__ love the positivity. I don’t let tinnitus spoil my day but not knowing what caused this condition makes it tough for me to feel confident I’ll find a way to make it stop. I will say I’ve always carried my stress in my neck and jaw so I assume that probably has something to do with it.
THANK YOU for this
You're welcome 😊
My tinnitus began after my third Pfizer Covid booster.
And mine started after I started antibiotics for my sinusitis...correlation is not always causation. It could easily be somatic.
Hi, sorry to ask but I’m watching many other videos in a short period…. What is the timestamp(s) of this video for effective tinnitus treatment. Thank you for sharing & helping us!
Here's my events leading up to my latest hearing loss + extreme Tinnitus:
Sept 2018: got on an airplane with an undiagnosed ear infection, eardrug hurt/popped, lost 20 db of hearing in my R ear
July 2021: woke up with extreme neck pain, could barely turn my head + Tinnitus, pretty bad tinnitus in my both ears. Note the herniation was to the LEFT paracentral/foramen. Had surgery on Dec 2021, woke up and tinnitus was entirely gone.
Nov 2023: had dry whooping cough for 4 weeks, harsh cough. Hearing fine, no tinnitus
Nov 23, 2023: extreme neck pain in right side of neck near Atlas/Occipital bone area.
Nov 27, 2023: hearing loss occurs late afternoon. It was stark contrast and tinnitus came on. Ears full.
Nov 30, 2023: first ENT diagnoses with Meneire's Disease, hearing loss in R Ear is up to 70 db (conversational volume, especially females), Dr administers 1st ITS steroid shot
Dec 3, 2023: see new ENT, she's much better and much more earnst. Administers 2 more steroid shots so have 3 in first 11 days since onset of hearing loss with tinnitus.
I've seen began Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Hyberbaric Chamber (HBOT, oxygen therapy), high dose B Vitamins, 85-90% max HR exercise intervals, Sauna, Steam Room, neck extension/decompression, and some Rx that stimulus middle ear blood flow. Only the exercise + steam room seem to help relieve some tinnitus. Hearing loss might be slightly less but might only be tinnitus factor.
I have a sedated MRI tomorrow to check for cochlear cyst. I have an advanced hearing test on Tuesday (like one mentioned in video vs the usual audiogram which I do believe my tinnitus masked some hearing).
Hoping to begin dry needling and physical therapy of the neck this week. Can report back any findings I have here. I'm not sure which issue I have. I am thinking it's muscular/nerves in the neck.
Perfect explanation 👍👋🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Yeah, mines been going on for a couple years when I first seen the doctor ears nose and throat guy. He told me have hearing loss in the left ear mild. He was telling me coffee sets it off if you’re a coffee drinker. carbs supposedly do also. they want to sell me hearing aids. I’m glad I just came across this. And I’ve been having neck issues for a while. Couple bad disc.
my spike triggers are coffee, nuts and coconut. A lot of us have unique triggers, worth keeping a food diary
Coffee and sugar! Holy crap good to know I’m going to pay more attn to that ! Thxxxx
@@jimmydavis7587 holy crap I had no idea food could trigger it.
@@editorjeannie2318I’m wondering if blood sugar may have something to do with the intensity?
@@BigBoaby-sg1yo oh yea maybe!
ENT + Psychologist = success ❤
Good information.
Very informative video, can you also bring a video on rootcause of hyperacusis
This would be a great topic for a video! We will add this to our list.
CBT works well with all types of non pulsatile tinnitus, including those with identified root physical causes.
June 2023 I had bridge work done on my teeth. It took 1 hour to remove the old bridgework that was therefore 25 years. a week later it took 2 hours to replace new bridgework. Since then I have had tinnitus in my ears. I had tinnitus many years ago and it’s back .It’s very annoying and interfering with my hearing.
I have tinnitus without hearing loss. Went to several ENT specialists but didnt help. If I stretch my hand or workout my muscles in the back or max out my jaws in some position, the tinnitus amplified, which seems to be somatic type according to your description. Unfortunately, i live in South east asia and could not come to you physically for help. Could you help to direct me to some place that I can seek help? Thank you.
I have tinnitus after using in-ear headphones with high volume sound music for a 2-3 years, also I have wisdom teeths which I didnt put them out specially on my left ear I can feel like something have inside interesthing feeling and when sllent I can hear continues tinnitus always. Also I have sleep problems and sleeping times inordinary generally.
Doctors in the US need more training with somatic tinnitus. I heard that dry needling can help. I may try that.
There are several sources of tinnitus, and probably variations on the root cause. I have pulsitile tinnitus and that is appreciable different than other types of tinnitus.
That was my situation. My Ent knew very little about my tinnitus and to this day I know nothing about the cause or the reason. 70 yr male high pitch, one side, 15 yrs now, facing hearing loss in affected ear.
Do believe that more people should be made aware about a condition called Scds. It took me years to find out
I love the collaboration between different countries. Sharing info. All I hear is ringgggggggg ribgggg 247 plus Hyperacusis
Same here to.hope somewhere someone will come out with a cure or at least some relief Praying for that every day
@@colinpeacock7648 Unlikely. No funding goes into it.
Its soooo sad that we dont have a cure. Its Not Only The Tinnitus and the pain, Its the Hyperacusis on top and the pressure 😢
@@user-gl9bw5wq5d Yes. Mornings grrrrrand nights grrrrr
Very interesting to be able , with Tinni -Care's help, to diagnose what type of tinnitus I have but unfortunately , when I filled in the questionnaire I didn't get any response from Dr Golenhofen's team. So I had a 2nd attempt but still no response. Can you suggest a solution please?
I got my tinnitus 3 months ago.It started with an esr infection, and it never went away. I had it in just my left ear and Thanksgiving it went to my right ear. I pray every night this goes away but i probably have to learn to live with it. I already went to an ENT and i have no hearing loss he just said live with it
It might go away but the tinnitus will diminish after awhile.
You’ll move beyond it, most everyone does. First 6-8 months are scary
My tinnitus is mild but constant hum. When I push my jaw forward it gets very loud. Think I mention to my chiropractor and dentist.
Do you know, that some people, myself included, got Tinnitus after they had Hearing test? As for me, I had Hearing Test (my earing was OK I wanted to check up only) in Miracle-Ear Co on January 18, 2024 and got the first strike of Tinnitus on February 06, 2024. Since then "white noise" did not stop and make me creasy. I learned a lot about this nasty Tinnitus on Internet and follow you, Dr Ben, podcast, thank you very much! How you can classified my case, Dr.Galenhofen? Thank you very much for your passion to serve people without any help from official medicine!
We would need to know more information. It is unlikely that a hearing test itself could cause tinnitus but the stress of the hearing test or the results of the test may induce some anxiety which could be related. We would be happy to discuss further. Schedule a complimentary telehealth consultation: treble.health/consultation
I knew it was my anxiety . That’s been under control . Also I haven’t been anxious all my adult life .
Had mine for about a year, been longest year of my
Life! I had to start TRT and my bloods like HCT are slightly raised, maybe the cause? I don’t know. I do keep thinking about end of life options, as I can’t live with this for the rest of my life that’s for sure.
Have tinnitus for a few years that's got worse ,also got reduced hearing & wear ear pieces , its worst in the right ear & currently battling with mine that gets louder as the day goes on ruining my sleep pattern which I can overcome some times , with listening to chosen calming music (also suffer anxiety & panic that is exacerbated by tinnitus) helps calm the attacks with one ear bud in right (worse) ear .
Still a struggle but slightly improving but get desperate in those middle of the nights.
As an example while listening to this through an earbud that's up higher (about half phone volume ) it's 6:00 .) I can still hear my tinnitus hissing away over the sound ??😮
