I recently developed tinnitus after a very stressful year during my masters. The ringing was very stressful the first month and really affecting my mental health but now I'm starting to find that my brain completely tunes it out at times and now I'm going days without even noticing its there.
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing, Paul! Be well. :)
I was studying on my desktop for long hours and I felt headache and my ears are ringing, popping and clogged, will it go away by it’s own?
@@shaarifshafi how are you now?
@@Berte_1 I think my tinnitus was beacuse of eustachian tube blockage, It’s improving over time ringing in ear is getting less noticeable and I hear constant ear popping that probably means they are opening.
@@shaarifshafi Hey, How are you now? I have the same issue, I got eustachian tube disfunction from cold.. :(
You’re doing a great job with these videos. Thanks for the helpful content 🥰
Glad that it was helpful. Thanks for your comment, Jack. Be well.
My tinnitus was told by an audiologist that it was rare..... because of the loudness and how it occurred my life has been the worst it’s ever been and I’m only 21, hopefully you’ll be able to help me find relief ❤️
Hey Shachar, we appreciate you sharing your story. Can you share with us what you've tried and the success of each of those methods?
hold on it will get better , we live in a amazing technology era and scientists are looking for a cure for both hearing loss and tinnitus. Im 30 with tinnitus and hearing loss recently since covid 19 have faith that were young enough to live to see a cure and that we won’t have to wait too long 🙏🏼💙 till then acceptance (habituation) and mindfulness is a good start but Ben Thompson video’s can advise you better. Pray for you just hold on
Same I’m only 21 and I have tinnitus for 3 years, but doctors can’t find the reason of my tinnitus 😭😭😭
You channel helped me so much, thank you!
Hey Gemini, we appreciate your comments. The videos were made to bring value to the tinnitus community. Glad you feel helped.
@@treblehealth You do amazing work helping us all, keep up the good work!
mine started slowly and has gotten progressively louder over the years.
Awesome! Thank you. Liked and subscribed
I'm pretty sure i've always had tinnitus for as long as i can remember, I thought it was just normal to hear ringing in a room that's completely silent, mine isn't too bad most of the times though compared to others though.
My tinnitus started after my right ear was extremely clogged due to Eustachian tube dysfunction brought on by a severe allergy attack. I forcefully popped my ear by sticking the tip of my pinky finger into my ear canal, and popping it out quickly and violently.
I heard a very loud crackling sound followed by a high pitched ringing that hasn’t gone away in 7 months. After seeing an ENT and an Audiologist, the diagnosis was that I had caused myself nerve damage.
Please don’t EVER try to pop your ears using your finger or any other object.
My husband just saw a specialist for this problem. The specialist asked about stress levels. We’re hoping , with suggestions,supplements and annual visits this problem is reduced or resolved.It could also be noise over the years . It’s really causing him grief.
I have had tinnitus since 1999 when a SSGT hand grenade instructor was careless and detonated one very close to the class. Just behind him was a 4ft cinderblock wall (he tossed it over his shoulder while talking to look cool). Later we heard he was dropped a rank to SGT which is a lot of pay so, he learned a lesson. That was the start of my tinnitus and like a dummy I've since been to over 23 rock concerts over the years always forgetting ear plugs so if I had any advice to give it would be to take some ear plugs to any live music show!
23? Wow.
It only took one concert for me, and a stupid woman yelled into my ear and permanently damaged my ear drum.
She severely, singlehandedly destroyed my life.
I got tinnitus 7 days after being covid positive,its been 50 days its still in my ears.
Hey vladaddy vla, thank you for the comment. Sorry to hear that.
Do you still have it
How is these days it’s been 2 years
Outstanding information completely appreciate you thank you so much makes so much sense
You are so welcome, John. Enjoy exploring our other RUclips videos, as well as blog articles on our Treble Health website.
Good video. Personally, I have found a very strong connection between not just stress and tinnitus, but mental state as well (seems you are on to this too.) For example, just by watching these types of videos, it will slowly get louder (only temporarily.) Being in good physical shape and maximizing my nutrition (key is to reduce all internal inflammation) also seems to helps. Vit. D, Magnesium and Tumeric are my standard "go to" supplements. Wearing ear plugs, even on good days also seems to help. Perhaps mentally it gives us a sense of control. You do have to take care of it though so it does not get worse.
When you eventually get to a decent place (less stress), one trick is to convince yourself that you actually LOVE IT! That's right. Ask for more ringing. I am sincere when I say that I have convinced myself that I truly enjoy having a built in stress meter (you called it a thermometer.) It's actually kind of a superpower not everyone has!
I can also "tune-in" and sometimes hear frequencies/sounds that others sitting next to me clearly cannot (I ask.) It is very interesting. If I then turn my head slightly it's like changing a radio station- and that sound is 100% gone. If I turn it back, I can hear it again. It doesn't happen all the time, and it doesn't last more than a minute or two, but it is very interesting. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this (comments???) I think there will be some breakthroughs in the next decade...if enough $ is dedicated to the needed research.
Over time (years for me now), I have learned to live with it just fine. It was stressful at first but that is normal. When you get older, you will unfortunately get many other issues that far eclipse this. If a gentle ringing is the worst of your problems, you are doing pretty good! When you are younger, you think your life is over- it's not.
What is fascinating is that some days now, it has left the room- gone. Not to worry though, it will and does reappear. It takes some intermission breaks! I also use ear plugs and ear muffs every morning when I run my nutribullet (need that morning fresh DIY almond milk!) and also when running the vacuum.
One thing is for sure, despite some real luck and/or success in managing it, if I slip e.g., play my music too loud and/or get stressed, it will very quickly remind me. Those flare up states can be brutal and can last weeks so I try to avoid them. I also actually "play" music and had to give up the idea of ever playing in a band again- and also playing loud which is (was) the most fun. It's a shame too because after practicing for years, I was finally getting pretty decent. I bought headphones so I can play and listen on my one good ear (low volume.) It can definitely seem unfair, but that is life. You have to deal with the hand you are given...but it's all good. Things can always be worse.
Keep these great and informative videos coming- Cheers!
Thank you for your positive outlook, I just got tinnitus and these last few days have been hell almost to the point of tears, I don't know how I could live out my life like this so I'm glad to see its possible.
@@blackmarketarmy Hi John. You'll be fine the 1st few months is probably the hardest cause it's the most stressful but you really do kind of get used to it after a while. If you don't mind me asking how did you get it?
@@blackmarketarmy If your condition originated from an infection it could also potentially just go away so there is hope. If it was from prolonged noise exposure then probably not.
Imagine a very tiny spark or tiny flame deep within a dry wood pile. Right now you're tinnitus is that small spark. Your stress in reaction to the spark is analogous to pouring gasoline onto that small fire. It's making it much worse. The great news is as you learn how to breathe correctly, learn about mindfulness, nutrition and exercise these things can take you on a journey that will improve your health 5 fold in the future. Ironically I am far healthier to day because I've been sick in the past. What don't kill you will usually make you stronger.
@@UTAH100 thank you for replying, I had cancer not too long ago and ever since then my body does not deal with stress well and it has been stressed ever since I had a few stressful days last week and one night I realized I couldn't hear well then the next day I had ringing. I went to the dr and he put me on drops said it might be a build up of wax but I've done those all week now and its done nothing. It was so loud last night I barely slept. This is so difficult.
@@blackmarketarmy Ok- got it. Here is the deal. First, I think you are going to be just fine. You had a trauma- mental and physical. The ringing is a trigger and vice versa- pouring fuel on your spark of anxiety. It's very normal. For your cancer you probably took numerous drugs that could also be contributing factors which might be good as over time you might be rid of them.
To be very clear, I am not a doctor and this is not advice of any kind. I am simply sharing my experiences with you. Again, I know that you are going to come out of this stronger. One day you could easily wake up with no ringing- it happens all the time. The first couple of months will be telling.
In the meantime, one thing I have done successfully during acute times is a simple mental hack. Focus hard on your left small toe. Does it make a sound? Does it hurt? If not, convince yourself you are on the right track (because you are.) To a great extent, pain starts and ends in with our thoughts. As you focus only on your left small toe, breathe correctly (watch videos) 10-30 times. It is very destressing and good for you as is walking every day. Before doing all this, I have a nice tall glass of water with a pinch of pink sea salt (helps the body to retain vital fluid.) Only a small pinch- stirring is not necessary and never white table salt. I do not have high blood pressure.
YOU WILL BE FINE AND COME OUT OF THIS STRONGER. Review your progress ONE MONTH AT A TIME- not day by day. You will get better over time. It's hard for ALL OF US in the beginning- then you really do get use to it or it goes away. Buy some MACK's natural color ear plugs. I use them even on good days. It gives you a sense of control and really helps me. I also use ear muffs if I vacuum or run my nutri-bullet. It all helps. Keep repeating the mantra- "I love this. I have a built in "stress" detector." That is really what it is. When you are happy, on vacation, with friends or working hard, you won't even notice the noise. It is very much a mental game- one you can win.
Bedtime, buying a white noise machine is very helpful. I don't wear ear plugs at night. Too quit is not what you want. Mild, distracting sounds are very soothing...water running, beach sounds, birds, nature, rain, etc.
Thanks a lot for this video and for your pragmatic point of view. I've had tinnitus for a long time (maybe 15-20 years) but it was manageable. I was a professionnal drummer (and an anxious guy, I must admit ^^) and I had to stop because of that. My tinnitus almost disappeared since 2010 but it increased a lot for one year now, but only in my left ear.
The strangest thing is that it's always the same cycle: one day very loud and one or two days much quieter. I just can't explain this situation.
Best regards
Joan HAAS - France
Thank you for sharing your story to us, Joan. Tinnitus can return at seemingly random moments and sometimes doctors/science cannot explain exactly why. Hearing damage can have a delayed progression. Did you experience more high-frequency noise exposure on your left side while playing the drum kit?
@@treblehealth Thanks for your answer. Not really, I have no explanation either... I just hope it will stabilize over time! I don't ask for complete silence anymore but a slight reduction could make me feel much better.
There is 6 types of tinnitus ,stress is one ..mine was was rifles from Vietnam war ..another is an addiction to drugs ....rock n roll lot of groups have ..and I still suffer from it 45 years
After a binge drinking session, I started experiencing what I believe to be severe withdrawal. Two weeks later I was so agitated I started getting explosions in my ear that started off low, and worked it's way to high pitch. One time it happened, and now it's in my left ear all the time.
3 months later I still have tinnitus, focus issues, and severe thinking impairments. I have high blood pressure too all from that one binge
Hey Kyle that sounds tough. It can be improved but possibly not completely returned to your previous version of normal.
Hi, Thank you so much for your video, I am new to tinnitus ☹ and am waiting for an appt with an ENT.
I didn't see the link for the questionnaire that you mentioned, could you tell me where to find it please?
Updated the description with the tinnitus functional index www.ata.org/sites/default/files/TFI.pdf
Thank you so much !
How loud is your tinnitus? How loud was it initially? Have you seen it go from really loud to really soft? How do you get it to really soft in the evenings especially? And when you say “soft” how soft is soft? I have no hearing damage according to my audiogram.
Hey Crystal Clear, thank you for the comment. To answer those questions it would take a long answer, please learn from our other videos.
Mine started a few years ago and there were several things could have caused it over the course of a few days - I had a really bad cold, I had been on a night out with loud music, I had my permanent retainer removed and refitted by the orthodontist, and I was suffering really badly with anxiety at the time. Shame it all happened at once because I'll never be able to properly attribute it to anything! It's reduced a lot now but there are times when it really gets me down.
Also I had pulsatile tinnitus a few months before getting the buzzy/ringing tinnitus. That's what kicked off my anxiety big time.
Hey rachelcelise1, thank you for the comment. Could be related to all of those factors but definitely anxiety and loud music. We hope you enjoy exploring our other videos.
@@rachelcelise1 how are you now?
Listened to music with earbuds ALL THE TIME when I was eleven until 17. I'm 17 now and am honestly hating myself for it because living like this is miserable.
How are you now?
@@Berte_1wbu?:(
I'm hoping something helps I just got done beating cancer not that along ago and thought my life was getting better but then this loud obnoxious ringing started and has not gotten any less intense. If you have a positive story please share below, I could use it right now.
I got my tinnitus about a month after a cataract surgery.
Sometimes it gets louder while I’m watching a light hearted movie, no apparent reason or the next day after a goodnight sleep.
How are you now?
@@Berte_1 Some days are good while some days still unbearable. But I’m still alive and that’s all that matters. Life is as per norm : )
I'm on my way from work that harassing me in our home. My workplace is constantly bullying me and even threaten to kill me. One day I was walking in a route where there is a shortcut some random noise of 2 loud fireworks happen which cause my nerves in the head. It's been almost 6 yrs now and I still not have my justice. That's not the one way they used to torture me. Also have PTSD now. Maybe I should told it to the police when I feel okay. Just undergone a myringotomy more than a month ago and stop seeing my doctor because of lack of money. The tinnitus is so loud after taking my medications that my doctor prescribed. The years that has been lost because of that incident will not be replaced.

See what type of doctor there are so many.
Totally agree - speacially from 6:32 onwards.. WOW
Please help. When I went to the hairdresser she washed my hairs, some water with soup came to my ear, and started be uncomfortable like something is there, when after some weeks it started hissing, I thought it's ear infection(I was in stress, had poor sleep) so after some days I got ringing, but still I thought it's ear problem. I really have bad sleep schedule, waking up in 2 am. I got ache in head. Now I pray to God to help me. Doctor said there is no earwax, and it's more neurological thing. But still now it's covid, and doctor don't work now. I started take care of myself. It's month in ringing... What to do ? Help me.
High low pitch Hissing ringing rhythm or old water sprinkler turning..
So is pulsitile tinnitus something wrong physically in the ear or even the neck and head muscles?
Usually not something in the ear itself… Could be something in the neck, brain, or cardiovascular system.
I got my tinnitus after my tympanostomy surgery where they put eartubes to my eardrum to drain fluid build up i also have allergy rhinitis i got first surgery take out my nasal polyps the ent dont know where i get my tinnitus i heard it after surgery when my right ear had a pressure and slight deafness i twice hearing test conductive mild hearing lost but after surgery i got Tinnitus after watch youre videos and manage my anxiety and depression my tinnitus went zero i never heard at all just sometimes i keep on recover now to avoid my anxiety is it normal still i have ear pressure on my right ear where i have tinnitus and my left ear doesnt have tinnitus but still have fluid build up
I had tinnitus 2 years til now. the volume of it does not bothers me anymore but the thought of why do i have it ,scares me a lot. Im afraid Of MRI and CT scans, im afraid of finding a tumor (might be)😢
Hey Jenica Juntayas, thank you for the comment. The chance that you have a tumor is VERY small, especially rare if you hear the tinnitus in both ears. I made a video titled Could I have a brain tumor if I hear ringing in my ear. Check it out. We hope you enjoy exploring our other videos.
@@treblehealth thanks for noticing my comment. usually its from one ear only , however, there are times that it occurs for both of my ears, like it will last a seconds.

I noticed I get ringing in left ear when I stress bad
Im not sure quite what caused it. It might be my headset when gaming or the multitool cutter that i use in construction work. The positive thing is that i only hear it when im going to sleep. I guess the sound is my silence now. *personal tip* i use a fan sometimes just to kill the sound its great.
do you still have T?
@@rsaint3222 still got it indeed
@@eirik874 how about now?
@@frozenbanana4842 it comes and it goes it feels like sometimes i can go a good few days without hearing it !
@@eirik874 how about now
no medical explanation for mine, definetly stress. Mine is terrible at the moment esp at night cant sleep.

I developed tinnitus in late 90’s when once I travelled by air during acute cold symptoms. After this till today it disappears for a long time & then again effecting me. After Covid 19 in last January this sound again developed in my left year and till today I am feeling un easiness so much so that I couldn’t do any thing

I noticed the hissing sound in my right ear after I recovered from Covid with minimum symptoms. Just lost of smell and taste. Nothing else.
Can chronic stress damage your hearing?
I wasn't exposed to any loud music nor taking any meds. But one morning I woke up with high pitch noise on my left ear and slightly on my right. The audiologist checked both ears and my hearing is fine. I noticed that if I don't get enough sleep or stress the sound of it gets louder. I sometimes feel pressure when it gets louder or when I look down and look up right away it cause a little dizzines . These are my symptoms nothing else. Pls help.
Hey deedee Seyer, you asked some good personalized questions here. I have a lot to say (and more questions to ask). More than this RUclips comment can provide. Long answer short: It depends on more information that I do not yet know about you. Feel free to contact me via email and I can ask you to fill out a questionnaire with more details. contact@puretinnitus.com
How are you doing now?
I developed by just thinking of this sound , after watching recommended videos form RUclips , is there any ways to get rid of it ? (Sorry for my English )
I can hear the noise but I also feel like something dissolving in my head. Is that tinnitus?
I have got my tinitus from a batery explosion

Hi Dr. Ben, I have tinnitus the last weeks on both ears. It is high pitch around 12.5 - 13 khz....I have no hearing loss. I heard loud music, when we renovate the room of my little son. Three days later I heard a low pitch....and that was start of my horror. I lose 32 Pounds of weight....My ENT said to me, that the tinnitus didn't come from the loud music. All the results of my ears were perfect....I asked me what was the cause?
Thanks for your story. Do you know today what was the cause?
How. Abou. CBT. I hear sk many different thungs. Is an audiologist specialist. And a audiologist to different Proffesionals
cbt is a useful therapy technique for the psychological component of bothersome tinnitus
thank you
You're welcome, Concetta. Be well.
@@treblehealth thank you 😊
My tinnitus is directly related to shooting a 357 Magnum handgun 12 times without ear protection. Of course incredibly stupid thing to do but I was not familiar with dangers of handguns and loud sounds. I also acquired hyperacusis due to this event. So I have constant ringing and also the panic and fight-or-flight associated with everyday noises.
Did it become better for you. Hope you are coping well just don’t blame yourself because you didn’t know I blasted loud music all the time like a dummy cause I didn’t know the consequences I thought I would just have hearing problems when I get old but yea. Ringing is here to stay unfortunately for me. It is what it is we don’t live forever anyways just make the most of this life! 💪
I’ve no hearing loss, not been in loud noises and still got tinnitus in my right ear, can Isotretonion have something to do with it?
I’ve had tinnitus as long as I can remember and I’m 26 now. It’s never caused me any issues it’s always been a part of my life and was usually only something I felt or heard so to speak when it was really quiet or something or after I had headphones on or something. But last couple days it’s got worse and I’m assuming it’s caused from stress and just need some good ways to deal with it till it passes to it’s Normal state
How are you now?
Why do I hear a high pitched ring on my right ear ? Usually when it’s quiet and if I press on it it gets more high pitched. I have anxiety and stress. It’s also more louder than my other ear
Same :((
I have a question and would really appreciate any help/ advice.
Since January this year, I've had costochondritis on my chest. Basically an inflammation/ strain in my chest cartilage.
I have been having tinnitus symptoms since May 1 this year, so just about a month now.
I initially attributed it to stress/ anxiety, but I'm wondering now if it's linked to the inflammation in my chest.
Do you have a view on that please? It occurred to me recently on a day my chest was painful while I was in the gym. I wondered if there was a connection.
DM18, you asked some good personalized questions here. My answer depends on more information that I do not yet know about your history. Feel free to contact our team at Treble Health and we can do our best to help you.
@@treblehealth thanks so much. What's the best way to do that please?

I started to get my tinnitus after having anxiety during the covid19 lockdown
That is a common story ... developing tinnitus during covid 19 due to stress and anxiety. Thank you for sharing with us. Hope you make progress.
Mines worse too I can't sleep its so loud I'm scared its screeching humming and whirring like a lawnmower or drone my mental health has deteriorated I've given up my job I do not go out I'm also going through menopause my life has stopped incredibly started with anxiety during lockdown its in both ears but the whirring is only in one I'm also grinding my teeth. I'm having to wait ages for an appointment my doctor isn't very sympathetic either .
Mine too feel like I've gone mad
@@paulamorton9499 is it gone
@@LightVino no still same
For me I just don't know why it occured. I'll never know for sure. But in some ways it has helped me. Before I would be very sensitive to any slight noise in the night. I would use earplugs all the time. Now because of the tinnitus, I quite like some external noise as a distraction so it's helped me reduce the stress on that part. Recently it's got worse but I'm going through a very emotional / stressful period of life. Even TV can't drown it out. As someone else put on their comment, it could be worse! Could be dying from cancer or something. I'm keen to hear people's experiences whether reducing stress makes it lessen? Is there hope?
Stress, anxious thoughts, lack of sleep, eating poorly, all make tinnitus worse for me. Some days it got so loud but lately I have had days of complete quiet! Blew my mind! Have been meditating daily, writing in a journal to allow myself to ‘feel’ the emotions rising without judgement. They then go away on their own. Also doing slow box breathing 4-4-4-4. Breathe IN for 4, HOLD for 4, OUT for 4, HOLD for 4. The noise level went from a high pitched squeal to silence in a matter of minutes. Neuroplastic brain as the Doc said. Retraining to let go, breathe more slowly, eat well, exercise and be in gratitude all helping a lot! Even got rid of years of migraines. For me believing it is possible to heal was the first step. We all have the capacity for change, growth and feeling better! Enjoy the journey!
@@ismimax thanks so much for sharing that. Its so interesting! Next time I will give the breathing a go ☺️
@@lindseyogrady1 how are you now?
@@ismimax how are you now?
@@Berte_1 the stress has gone and the noise reduced along with it thankfully. It's not fully gone but it's manageable now. Barely notice it most of the time except when my newborn baby screams loudly right in my ear! So I wear headphones if I suspect she might get like that.
My tinnitus started from an impacted ear wax at my external ear and then i decided to consult an ENT doctor for it. The doctor clean my external ear and he said that my tinnitus will eventually go away but the real thing is, i still have it until now and it has been 27 days since i have it. I am afraid that i might have it forever because i am a singer and i am often expose to loud noises. What can i possible do Dr. Ben? I really want to get rid with it😣
Hey jobert boniel, check out our other videos.
My tinnitus is a constant, high pitched sound. It doesn't seem to be affected by stress a lot. Some people have tinnitus that can fluctuate a lot, going for mild to really loud.
I have genetic hearing loss, but my tinnitus was trigered by stress, it's not noise induced, or drug induced.
Stress/depression can kill some part of the brain. Some researchers believe there is a part in the brain that should filter unnecessary signals, such as tinnitus. This part in the brain can be destroyed by stress. I think it's what happened to me.
How do you know that the limbic system is involved in the loudness of tinnitus ? I have heard it so many times. Do you know if it was proved by brain imaging ?
Good commentary and questions. I don't know about the brain imaging to prove it. If you are looking for details check out the neurophysiological model of tinnitus by Pawel Jastreboff.
Can being around screaming,crying children cause tinnitus or hearing loss? If so can it be reversed?
It could cause it, yes. Reversed? Possibly.
I think I got my from using earplugs. My audiologist told me she dont think I. Got mine from aging. I told her no. It only started after I ussd tge earplugs.
could it be related to both aging and earplugs?
Good 👌👌👌
Thank you so much 😀
I have been scratching inner my ear so thats prabaly i was on a streak if nit having it for weeks
Im not convinced anymore, after a year of researching tinnitus, in an effort to make mine lessen, that stress or anxiety is the cause. First, I have little stress, much less than the average stressed out American Im sure. My life is in amazing order, ease, contentment, etc., with no worries concerning money, occupation, relationships, family, etc. Im retired in fact, with money to burn and zero debt. Sure, I have stress dreams (but not very severe) from the past occasionally. Who doesn’t? It’s certain millions of people much more stressed than me do not have tinnitus, and others with little stress in their lives like me with tinnitus. I believe it is a physical cause triggered by my hearing loss years ago, plus my age, 63. Its just how the brain works sometimes. When you get older, various parts start wearing out or do not operate correctly, obviously. I got floaters in my eyes too. Again, age is the culprit. Practicing stress reduction helps habituate psychologically.
*Take GABA natural before sleep. And magnesium during the day. Be relax. Don't stress. Avoid it. Tinnitus will go away if is caused by stress*
Thanks for your tip, Alexander! Be well. :)
Where did you buy the GABA natural from??
@@treblehealth Thanks so much. I still remember the days i was watching your videos desperately searching for help and crying. You helped a lot emotionally. Thanks. I know in less than 7 years a cure will be available for people with real tinnitus due to ear damage. Ones again thanks for your attention and help, you a good doctor! You welcome here in Puerto RIco.
Mine started two months from now , am having a trouble living with it , it stated cos I was shouting a lot in my work as am a workaholic thinking it’s either my way or no way (( stupid )) and as a karma I think tinnitus happen to me
I was studying on my desktop for long hours and I felt headache and my ears are ringing and feeling filled with something from past 3 days. But I can hear it only in quite place when I focus on it What should I do?
Can a hearing test cause damage to the inner ear ( if not done properly). My tinnitus got permently worse (new sounds in addition to the one that i have) right after a hearing test ?
Same thing for me. I listened to one of those on youtube, one day after that my ear started ringing.
@@mattmatt5592 me i went to an ENT. i have tinnitus since december 2018. First time i saw a doctor was on march 2019. Right after the test i started to hear a new sound on top of the one i already had. But i convinced myself that this was not possible. Last month ( so a year after) i went for another hearing exam. Soon after i got a new sound wich make three different sound. I don t understand anything. I tought hearing tests were harmless. But i guess they re not. I have to live with 3 different sounds now. Mu hearing is normal so i regret these tests that were useless and probably just cause more damage
Hey Heaven, it depends on whether your hearing test included a test called acoustic reflexes. That test sends very loud beeps to measure the ear drum and is loud enough to cause pain and spike tinnitus. A normal pure tone hearing test usually only plays soft sounds and will not damage your hearing.
@@treblehealth I wanted to know how loud can the machine used for hearing test go ? Can it go above 100 DB. Also are these machines able to test above 8000 hz. ( i m talking about the one used by ENT). Thanks a lot for your videos
@@Heaven9369 For me, it's been 8 days since it started. It was gone for two days but came back yesterday and so loud. I believe the reason is TMJ or one of those stupid hearing tests on youtube.
Got T after an ear infection
Mi tinnitus es por trauma acustico....que puedo hacer?
la repuesta esta a bajo :)
The doctors here in Baltimore dont know anything about tinnitus
My severe tinnitus started after an automobile accident. Its sounds more like a squeeling sound.. Chronic and extreme! Nothing ringing..
Sorry to hear that. :(
I was on Pregabalin 100 mg.......Now I have TINNITUS in Both Ears .
Where in California are you?
Hi I was in depression last year in June 2020 . One night in silent I realize that my right ear is ringing. I checked with ENT and audiogram test is normal. My MRI of brain is normal.

I miss silens
Whem Im sleep Im very relaxed. Whem i open my eyes there's the noise why?
Just because you have no bad thoughts and wake up from being asleep does not mean you are relaxed.. Going through depression right now and suprisingly enough i have no bad thoughts at all.
Same situation happen with me every day
My tinnitus remains the same volume if I'm stressed or not?? It never goes away. What to do?
Thank you so much for watching our video, Carmen. You asked some good personalized questions here. My answer depends on more information that I do not yet know about your history. Feel free to contact our team via email and we can do our best to help you. Our email is contact@puretinnitus.com
Why does my ringing and buzzing last for a few seconds and goes away? It comes on and off
That’s very common. Nothing to worry about really. The exact mechanism is unknown but it is likely some of the sensory hearing sell losing function and sending a nervous signal to your auditory cortex
Same.....when I get stressed from school I get tinnitus like how you described it...
had my ears cleaned out , they did not use water. that when the ringing started on my left ear.
my ringing started when they cleaned out my ears not using water, my left ear rings all the time especially when going to stores, restraunts is louder.
My tinnitus started 12 days ago while studying on my desktop. No loud noise. Ent doctor said to wait and it will go resolve on its own, nothing to worry about. Also mine changes from L to R and sometimes I can hear it in both ears. Hearing test was fine. For different reason I had a hearing test 1 year ago and it was perfect as well. No hearing loss whatsoever. The ear that has the tinnitus feels clogged. Have you heard of that before or that it changes from L to R? I have a history of sinutisis twice in the past. Could this be related to clogged tubes or EUD? Thanks!
Could be related to inflammation, eustachain tube, try to work on that to help.
@@treblehealth Thank you so much! It's good to know I am on good track. I've been inhaling steam with VapoRub twice a day and using Beconase twice a day too. It feels better already on the 2nd day!
@@nl832 hi how is your hearing now. I have rhinititis allergy and i usually have itchy and stuffy nose and block nose and in August my ears feel clogged and i was really worried.I asked my friends if they ever experience this and one of my friend told me he had a ringing in the ears for 3 days and went away i dont feel like i have ringing in ears but i would listened to my ears and starts to feel that there was some ringing.After i go to the doctor my audiogram was normal as well.My tinitus seems to be worse when i have stuffy nose
@@user-fg6xj2tq5q hi there, about 9 months later i still have tinnitus as a high pitch constant sound. I had been trying inhaling steam and all that for about a month and the result was that sometimes it was disappearing completely for minutes/hours but it was coming back again eventually. So I decided to accept the fact that I will always have this, to relax, improve my diet, do some more physical exercise and generally adopt a more positive thinking about it. To be honest, since then I have found many people that have tinnitus and this was quite reassuring. In terma.of the tinnitus itself it has definitely decreased in loudness or my brain has adapted somehow and I do not perceive it that much
@@user-fg6xj2tq5q I had experienced tinnitus after concerts or attending nightclubs that have very loud music but eventually the sound would fade completely. When stressed, tired or cold my tinnitus increases as well. But I don't think too much about it anymore tbh
Hello sir please help me
My tinnitus started just 2 days ago due to slapped..
Please help🙏🏻
Have you gotten a hearing test?
@@treblehealth yeah.. My ear drum got damaged and tinnitus increased But I can ear
I have tinnitus and it's driving me crazy. Could I have this affliction from a blow to the head? I had two bad falls. Also, I have cyclothymia, could that be contributary? Tinnitus is in THE BRAIN not the ears.

I was born with it. I have Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia.
I may have that too. I’m situs inversus dex
Mr Ben Thompson , do you believe in your opinion that one day maybe in the next decade they will develop a cure for hearing loss. If so surely once hair cell regeneration is possible than a cure for tinnitus will and could be possible. Bw I believe science will soon one day heal our hearing as simple as a broken bone. 🙏🏼
Hey Alh Neo, thank you for the comment. It is possible to have treatment in the next two decades.
@@treblehealth Well then we will wait i’d be 50 but somehow I think it’ll come sooner until then we’ll practice being good to ourselves and turning our tinnitus into a silver lining to better one self in ways we would not have. Going to find myself again and keep myself safe and healthy. Currently live in the uk but now have plans to relocate to Canada as a truck driver doing something I’ve loved to do for so long but will wear hearing protection if needed. God bless your be in my prayers 📿
I think there are two main things to take away from this video. He says that a) there is no cure for tinnitus, and b) it's all about "managing" your response to it. If you have long term tinnitus please don't believe anyone who tries to tell you they have a cure, because they don't. So, managing your response to it is the thing to focus on, which basically means training your brain to be less aware of it. How to do this will vary from person to person, but I believe that it's possible for the vast majority of us who suffer from this condition. I've had it for years, but it suddenly got worse in August of 2020 (thanks, 2020), so I had to go through a whole process of acceptance and it took months of terrible sleep before I started being able to tune out the noise in my head. Now, even on days or evenings when the noise appears to be loud enough to keep me from doing anything but stressing out, I'm able to let other thoughts or physical sensations come to the fore, and I rarely lose sleep over it.
Not true,cause for many people went away .Cure like medicine nobody has but definitely you can cure it in different ways.
How can I contact you?

I have earphones no help they suppose to be blockers
Espetacular
Is tinnitus a symptom of something more serious? You asked that question and answered by saying "probably not". In my humble opinion I would differ with you. After a decade of research on this topic I believe that tinnitus is an alarm bell that goes off to warn you of some internal problem or a loss of balance in your health that may or may not be very serious. As you would agree it's a profoundly complex problem, and few have any idea of how to deal with it or how to regain silence again. After suffering with this problem for over 10 years I have finally found answers on how to calm the system enough to experience silence again. It's a process that can take a long time, but silence can be achieved. Any talk of habituation is unnecessary.
Can you help me what I must do for tinnitus
@@zarazara5109 Hi. As you can well imagine, tinnitus is an extremely complex problem in the human body. Tinnitus can be caused by a myriad of different reasons. Tinnitus can result from stress, dietary deficiencies, toxins in the body, whiplash, neck injuries of all types, loud noise, sleep deprivation, ear infections, impacted ear wax, grinding your teeth, jaw problems, drug reactions from over 500 drugs and a long lost of other reasons. So treating tinnitus can be very challenging, but not impossible. I am in the middle of writing a book on the subject of tinnitus and I hope to be finished in a few months. In dealing with your own tinnitus, I would start by getting a very good nights sleep, ( 9 hours per night, 7 days a week) as well as doing some form of exercise every day that includes stretching, which should include your neck and shoulder muscles. Be gentle with this area of the body, but make sure you include it in your daily exercise regime. Avoid consuming any type of stimulants, which includes alcohol, sugar, and caffeine. Move to a healthy diet of organic foods only and limit your daily carbohydrate consumption. Be careful with your portion control. Unnecessary spiking of your insulin can be bad for your tinnitus. Avoid any kind of stressful situations. Stress causes the hormone cortisol to spike and this can sustain the ringing in your ears chronically. Pursue any type of activity that you find very calming, be that yoga, meditation or even a long walk. Start with these lifestyle changes and see if your tinnitus starts to diminish. Above all, keep a positive attitude and believe that you can heal yourself! Be patient, because the body moves slowly sometimes in the healing process.
I was just watching a video in youtube and suddenly I heard a high pitch noise out of a sudden. Is it possible that I am stress?
It is possible, but occasional ringing is normal most people experience that.
It’s more likely the reason for this tinnitus is in the neck. Tight neck muscles. My tinnitus gone after 2years, but I sometimes have it when I move my neck or if I sit with bad posture for too long.
@@katek1053 wow your tinnitus is gone after 2 years? what did u do
@@rsaint3222 I tried everything from steroid shots to craniosacral therapy to psychotherapy and exercises. Nothing really helped)) But in the end I've learned that relaxation is the key if not for complete cure but for the improvement. Relaxation of the muscles. Especially jaw, shoulders, neck, face. And lots of sleep - it's difficult with T, but over time with a little bit of background noise, herbs (ashwaganda, hops, Mg) I got rid of insomnia and T started to improve. Also got my vit D level to normal (it was really low). Did guided meditation (with free app) - it helped relax muscles. And pilates from time to time (I found interesting fact that doing exercises for lower part of the body can help with neck pain, so I did ex. like hip bridge from pilates). So to say it short - muscle relaxation of all kinds that I liked - massage, meditation ect (body, face, jaw, shoulders), herbs like ashwaganda and hemp, sometimes melatonin, sleep, reduce stress (stopped watching news and horrors ect) and pilates exercises (basic) for lower part of the body and arms. I also had hyperacusis and it also gone, after around a year. So, don't panic if T is not gone after a month or a year, there's still a chance it will go away later. Just focus on improving your quality of life and sleep. Sorry for mistakes - english is not my first language.
@@katek1053 I agree with you....I hv problem with neck especially having a bad pillow. Coz of covid I'm home all the time . If I don't get any sleep my tinnitus gets louder . I should exercise then?? Omg I hv no motivation but if this helps then maybe I will. Let me know how you doing. I have this tinnitus for a month now.
Dear Doctor
Are you saying we involved from apes????
Why is it that I only hear it when it’s only quiet.
According to your description you tinnitus seems very mild, protect your hearing and seek treatment.
Using earplugs
I got my Tinnitus due to earwax blockage after it was cleaned. It didn't disappear I don't why?
That happens to many individuals. It is a neurological affect in the auditory system.
@@treblehealth i have tinnitus because of tmj, also tense jaw and neck muscles. But initially it was triggered by prolonged noise exposure to my ears. Next to that i suffer from stress and anxiety. I work difficult shifts where don't get enough sleep, but the dokters said i don't have damaged hair cells nor do i have damaged hearing. I'm struggling to find good treatment. And this won't be a quick fix for me unfortunately.
@@SuperKlaatu I got tinnitus after an ear blockage but it has not gone after cleaning the ear now my lower jaw and neck feels tight too. And I am also suffering from anxiety.
Is it gonev
Is it gone?
Hi, I'm Manuel. I sincerely don't know how I got tinnitus 2 months ago. I went to have an hearing test and it was normal. The doctor just told me that I've got to live with it😡
Idk how i got my tinnitus
Tinnitus caused by stress can be gone?
Hey Adrián Morningstar, thank you for the comment. Watch one of the recent video where I interview a gentleman about his tinnitus, stress, and recovery.
