Having a spike at the moment, i found your video helpful and comforting.

Man, Im a Brazillian and I've earned my tinnitus when i was Like 15 and Today i have 20, I got used to my tinnitus during those years, till 6 days ago, My Tinnitus just got worse for no reason, And im trying to get throught it Being the most calm possible, Because i thought that it wouldn't get worse, And im trying to figure out what causes that, But Seeing that im not alone in that fight is Somehow reliever to me, And i am a musician, whostarted mixing some years ago too ( Sorry for some English Mistakes )

How can you tell the difference between a spike vs a new baseline?

Great video, loads of invaluable tips, I’ve already gone unplugged 😎. Thanks Jack.

Ear won't unclogg 😢....any advice?

Good vid Jack, ty for sharing. I'm not a musician, i had severe tinnitus (10 out of 10), now i'm more a 5 of 10, moderate tinnitus. But my tinnitus reacts to loud environments, i was pretty f* if i was a musician. You are a tough one, having your tinnitus and still doing it. TC

I use Alpine MusicSafe Pro earplugs. Thanks for the video, Jack. Keep sharing your insights. Hug.

I have severe ear blockage 😢....will a eustachi help???!!

crisis at 73 a viral infection congestion displaced my eardrum a construction site in my head weeks on and finally an ENT in manhattan gave me enough drugs to resolve infection which I DID NOT EVEN HAVE A FEVER FROM telling me my hearing was damaged suggesting hearing aides. He said if necessary he could surgically place drum back. It restored to correct position but i then developed what I assume is body wide pulsatile tinnitus still unresolved than vertigo of severity landing me in hospital for 3 days for 11 weeks in the other ear. No other medical problems and my hearing came back to normal thankfully To his vast surprise hearing back to normal but no answer for the pulsatile tinnitus. Any advice greatly appreciated thanks

Tinnitus ear loss coming 😢

Earplugs make it sound louder in my head

I really understand your position- how to bring back zest to my life with tinnitus. “Rethink,” is the phrase.

What a blessing to have stumbled in your channel. I have tinnitus and I already practice all the tips here on my own. I also chew gum when the plane takes off/landing or suck on a lollipop to not have clogged ears when I get to my destination. Thanks for sharing.

Jack, do you have hyperacusis?

Great video 💪

do you have any days without tinnitus ?

Thanks for your honesty. It helps to know that others go through what I am and are thriving.

I'm in my second week of a very depressing spike... I have 3 young daughters and it's because of them that I find the strength to carry on and get through this, however, on the flip side to this, they don't help much with their high pitched screams and screeches and god know what other disturbing noises kids make at their age. Think I need to get out for a walk.

This was amazing

Like you I have had Tinnitus for over 20 years , had a major spike in October 2020 and had a couple over recent years , your advice as usual absolutely wonderful, did the same as you , found staying at home indoors all day did not help at all so I put on my walking shoes and off I went , the best thing I could have done walking is such a tonic .hope your spike goes very soon . Thanks so much.

Really needed this! Also going thru a bad "spike" and my tinnitus feels like 50% louder. Thanks for all your videos!

Why don't you contact some entities that are looking for a cure for tinnitus, and help them develop some kind of definitive cure or at least substantial relief? It is necessary to insist with the scientific community regarding this condition. Have you been playing live concerts? Do you often go to bars where live bands play? If so, how do you avoid further damaging your tinnitus? I love playing live and seeing bands live. It's something that's been part of my culture since I was born. It's really hard for me to continue doing it when I have tinnitus.

Going through one now, feeling fed up . Thanks for all your kind encouragement .

Thanks for the reassurance Jack, I’ve just come out of a nasty spike myself. Also I’ve taken your advice from another video and gone unplugged. I stumbled across a second hand Hofner Shorty in the music shop, endless almost silent armchair noodling 🙂.

Thanks for the advice. It's something that I've always been affraid of. I try to take the train instead if possible.

If power full counties arrange a big scienctest research or study of 🌎 world best scienctest for tinnitus cure or treatment i hop tinnitus cure will be possible plz

Scienctest found every disease cure why tinnitus cure not possible yet If Powerful countries arrange a big scienctest research or study of 🌎 world best scienctest i hop tinnitus cure will be possible plz

Did your spikes return to your “baseline”?

Excellent tips. Thank you for this.

I had it mild for about a year. 3 weeks ago it became unbearable and impossible to mask.

I mean, they say it's not good to overprotect your ears, but cutting out things no one really wants to hear - jet engines, ads and solicitations on planes or other transports - makes plenty of sense to me ! ;-) Letting yourself be surrounded by everyday sounds yes, but let's face it : there's also a looot of noise for nothing. One question though : I wonder if someone wearing earplugs or ear defenders may not experience some pressure issues on a plane ? Is it ok to have your ears blocked with one or the other while the outside pressure is changing ?

Hi there good video was wondering what type of earplug do you use? I have loops that are 17 dB and then with the extra mute, I can get a five more use.Or use Mack foams I believe they’re 33 dB. I’m not 100% sure on that.

In any noisy situation I use noise cancelling AirPods, cuts the noise and I can feed in gentler sounds to break up the tinnitus. I’ve not tried them on an aeroplane yet. If I’m playing in the band I wear moulded silicone ear plugs 🙂.

Thanks for the tips. Travelling and even long distance journeys come with anxiousness now. Very insightful

Thanks. Love this video!

Stay strong Jack. Good to know you are enjoying life.

When playing a steel strung acoustic, I put an earplug in my right ear just to take the edge off the “twang”. I’m okay with my nylon strung guitar. Maybe I’ll try the unplugged electric route 🫨 . Thanks for the tips Jack 🙂.

I had have tinnitus for 10 years. I was completely habituated but now I have and spike for a couple of weeks and then really frustrates me

You're very wise guy Jack. I'm just going through my T worsening, but I belive I will get better.

My T started two and a half years ago. I woke up in the middle of the night with my skull ringing like a bell, the sound resonating from just below my left ear. It came out of nowhere and has two levels. 1. Unbearable and 2. I now know what an exit bag is. I can't even leave the house. I have to wear one of those Bluetooth headbands that joggers wear 24/7. I have to listen to masking sounds between 10kh and 16kh. I haven't worked since the day it started and have spent every penny that I have saved since starting work in 1977. I've seen a dozen doctors, one that charged £400 an hour. The three hearing tests I've had in the last 18 months show no hearing loss. I've had every drug, steroid, nasal spray and tablet known to man. I've had about 10 scans. That sounds a lot but on a couple of occasions they've performed the wrong scan (don't ask.) I have constant severe headaches, (who else has had a cranial headache for every second for more than two years) ear fullness and clicking and popping. Pretty sure this problem is also causing Eustachian tube dysfunction. I take Loprazolam to sleep. A good night is 4 hours but two is the norm. What I have learnt from this torture is doctors know jack shit about T. They keep sending me down the ENT road but they are missing something. My T is a loud hissing, ringing sound and it spikes when I - Move my head, left, right, up, down. When I yawn When I chew When I talk When I touch my face Even when I walk. As my foot hits the floor it pings an even louder ping through my skull. In desperation I went to see an acupuncturist. It had no effect but as soon as I told him my symptoms and that I had no hearing loss he said he'd bet that ENT wasn't where they should be looking and that I've probably got a jaw TMJ issue or neck issue that could be causing the T. I saw a new GP, she said this was something worth investigating and hastily arranged an appointment with a Maxiofacial (I think that's right) specialist as she could see that I am completely on the edge of sanity from this torture. She knew what an exit bag is. In the weeks leading up to the appointment I read everything I could find about TMJ/neck issues and the connection with T. There was some literature posted by the NHS and some really reputable, detailed information from the library of the NIH in the USA detailing the connection between TMJ and T. I have lots of the possible symptoms for T from TMJ or neck issues. I told the Maxiofacial doctor my symptoms and straight of the bat, (despite my reading of PhD specialists) she declared that nobody had EVER suffered from tinnitus due to TMJ issues. They x-rayed my jaw, said it was fine and that was that. I'm currently living a life that is not a life. Tinnitus so brutal, that it is destroying my mind, my life and my soul. For me, there are no phases, acceptance or habituation. I only leave the house for a doctor or hospital appointment. Will this torture ever end? I can't find the courage to end it although I think about it constantly. Apologies for the long post. Love and silence to all.

After " Wim Hof " breathing exercices, tinnitus appeared to many people. This happened to my sister 3 years ago. The sounds and other effects are present in both ears. Nothing helped. She is a professional musician which makes her job very difficult.

Thank you!

Id have tinnutis on and off my whole life...but now I have it 24/7 due to sudden sensoneural hearing loss. I have profound, almost total, loss in my right ear and ROARING tinnutis. Im at phase 2, I guess...
