Fantastic video Dave, well done.
Tinnitus is a living nightmare. Thank you Dave for your story and raising awareness. A cure is urgently required before more people are forced in to suicide by this life destroying affliction.
Sean h as far as I’m aware cancer isn’t used to torture people whereas noise is. You have no idea how bad tinnitus can get. I’ve met cancer patients who developed T from chemo and wish they were dead and had never had treatment. That’s the reality. People are euthanised in Europe for tinnitus because their lives are so torturous. It’s the number one cause of suicide amongst veterans and a leading cause of suicide in the UK. You can ignore all this but those with chronic T cannot ignore the noise in their heads.
Sean h - “Oh dear - more Tripe!”

Hi mate - thanks for your support.
I get the feeling that we are simply wasting our breath on Sean h.
Perhaps he’s one of those bona fide
Tinnitus therapists, or the son of one.
Sean h did I say I had cancer? I said I’ve met people with tinnitus from cancer treatment and they wish they were dead rather than lumped with permanent noise in their heads. Why are you so obstinately defending this dreadful affliction as something benign and irrelevant? To what end?
Sean h ‘overcome it’ did they? That sounds like nice habituation speak for they accepted there’s no cure and nothing can be done for them and have to live with this dreadful mental handicap.
Wow. Thank you to Sylvia for letting us know to find you here! Very helpful and informative and all the best for now and the future.
Thanks for telling your story, Dave.
What an interesting story! I am a jazz musician too, 32 years old, a singer and I recently learned that I have tinnitus which has slowly set in over the years. I have many frequencies that I hear like musical notes except the very high ones. I am not going to mess with it getting worse but still do some low-intensity projects, like piano/voice duo or trio with upright bass, maybe occasional concerts with custom earplugs but nothing loud. I'm happy Dave has a fulfilling career and videos to look back on. The improv solo at the end brought tears to my eyes, calm but expressive, and clean sound :) Here's to hoping for a way to heal the hearing one day and in the meantime I'll be meditating too. Cheers
Thank you for the time taken to write this comment, Rachel. I hope you will be successful in managing this challenging condition.
Hi Dave, great and inspiring video. Cheers JaiSea
Thank you . My name is Dave also. I've suffered with Tinnitus for 20 years . It's exhausting . Like yours started low could live with it, but getting worse as I age. 😣
Sorry to hear that
Dave, Thank you very much for sharing your story. It was easy to see that Jazz meant a great deal to you and brought you happiness. Did I detect a smile coming on as you reminisced about your career? Thanks also for your messages about the support that is available for those with tinnitus, the need for all to protect their hearing since tinnitus and hearing loss go hand in hand and the need for hard science research to understand the condition and develop effective treatments which, one day, will lead to a cure. Those who know you understand that your heart went into making this video, the dilemmas you faced about publishing it and that your life's story and the reality of tinnitus was best told by you, as you have experienced it. We have and will continue to support you and your efforts to raise awareness of the impact of tinnitus. Of course, none of this would be here if it hadn't been for the talents, words of encouragement and compassion of Phil and Sue Swallow. Thanks to both of you, as well and to Sylvia and those gorgeous pussy cats for surrounding Dave with a loving family!
Dave! Great video. I am El BUZZ in TinnitusTalk. Glad I'm bald and have to use the trimmer in regular basis... It's also the only thing able to mask my T.
I am a musician in military band , recently diagnosed with Tinnitus and this story made me hopeless ...😢
I have tinnitus as well. It's very important not to trigger your tinnitus through negative tinnitus stories. I highly recommend this man's channel as it as helped me a great deal ruclips.net/video/lrduSUuVfXI/видео.html
My tinnitus is drowned out by sounds above 80dB. I am 47 years old and I am disabled; childhood cerebral palsy. I don't really know why he is alive.
I feel for you. The thing that needs to be said, missing from this important short doc, is that not only does the victim of tinnitus suffer, but their spouse often suffers as well. It's so hard to witness a loved one go through this and be helpless and not be able to do anything. It's very very tough. The good news though, that it is possible to learn to "live with tinnitus" though I know that's the last thing you want to hear when you are in the middle of the "crisis" and living the "trauma". We had to dig deep. But it's possible. My husband talks a bit about it here: ruclips.net/video/81DYFHP0HWQ/видео.html
Your hissing sounds the same as mine, I can't get rid of it either. I hear it over everything. I liken it to a car tyre being let down right next to my ear.
I got it after a concussion, seven years ago.
Don’t join forums I have mild t from a concussion and after going to Tinnitus Talk all you see a lot of negative stuff even if u don’t you’ll become obsessed with it checking it every once in a while.
the trumpet and drums are a sure way to the damn tinnitus disease, besides the electric guitar, all parents should know about this terrible disease and avoid the best musical careers, it is better to be a baker to live a miserable life
Tinnitus Saviours, Messiahs, Gurus, are two a penny!
Don’t worry if you miss this one.
There’ll be another one along in a couple of minutes.....x
What was the point of making a video which is almost completely negative? From what I understand tinnitus can be managed well and even reversed ..
Did you watch the whole video, Mike? Dave does talk about how he manages it. And if you can share links showing scientifically how it can be reversed, that would be really useful, thanks.
@@philswallow go and take a look at Dr Julian Cowan's videos..especially the one where people share their sucess stories of having gotten rid of tinnitus..literally thousands of people have recovered completely
Posting videos which are 90 per cent about how terrible it is and incurable doesn't help anyone
@@mikebarker6979 Mr. Barker, I take it you are a disciple of Julian Cowan Hill. I'm happy that he has helped you and so many others. I do find it somewhat unexplainable that thousands of people have recovered from tinnitus and yet there is no scientific evidence of the efficacy of his methods. I did an author search of his name on PubMed and nothing came up. All that aside, tinnitus is unique to an individual and we are not all alike. So, no one can expect a one size fits all approach to therapy and while some will be helped by following Mr.Hill, others will not. I am rather surprised and sorry that you found Dave's story to be a negative one. This leads me to believe that, like beauty, its in the eyes/ears of the beholder. In Dave's case he has found a routine of meditation and relaxation that works for him. Plus he is surrounded by a loving family and the pussy cats. Not to mention the support of his friends on Tinnitus Talk. Finally, I applaud him for putting the prevention and need for research messages out there, we need more of that.
You understand wrong Mike. Unfortunately many people suffer for years with screaming loud unbearable noise in their heads. Many take their lives after mere weeks. Others soldier on as they battle insomnia, desperation, depression. They lose everything they’ve worked for and love. This affliction has very little mercy and can drag even the strongest people in to depths of hell quicker than anything else. It’s a monster and a cure is urgently needed.
The theory he speaks about tinitus is wrong completely. You can reverse tinitus. It is rarely a cause of ear problems but a sign from your body that there is something that goes wrong. If you can identify it and fix it you will probably fix your tinitus too
Shut up
