Doubt & Despair with Tinnitus
ฝัง

- Doubt and despair are major blocks to getting better with tinnitus. A part of us refuses to accept that there is a way forward and will sabotage any attempt to let go and release symptoms. There is only one path. That is to move towards your suffering and make friends with it, unpack it, digest it, process it and let go. The more you let go of your resistance and work through your stuff, the more your tinnitus will back off. This symptom is dependent on resistance, impatience, struggle, stress, fear, anxiety etc to keep going. A solid body-based practice will cut through this resistance more and more.

#Tinnitus
Your videos have been so helpful for me. I've had tinnitus 1 year today, and im almost fully recovered.
Folks listening, the one thing thar helped me drastically, i noticed a difference within 5 days was cutting out all starchy carbs.
I went on a meat and vegetable diet pretty much keto, so no potatoes or anything like that.
Also, in combination, i practised mindfulness and meditation to slow my racing mind down, which is what i believe caused my tunnitus.
Full body and mind stress paired with a terrible diet sounded the alarm bells in my head.
You can and will get better, but you need to take this seriously and understand that it's not going to dissapear over night so stay consistent.
My best friend had tinnitus he was a DJ, and the music every night damaged his ears. He's completely tinnitus free now. You are not stuck with tinnitus. You just rarley hear the success stories because they dont post about it online.
To anybody struggling right now im sending you lots of healing, love, and energy. I know the pain and disspear you're feeling BUT you will get better regardless of how long you have had tinnitus! Today is the day you make a change and fight back but not with fear ❤
Hi bro, quick question. When you said that you almost recovered and your dj friend is free of T, do u mean that you successfully habituated or the T is physically gone? I just got it 10 days ago and it confused me if the T can really gone or i have to learn how to habituate
I never comment on youtube, but I just started watching your video and I can already see immediate improvement. I got tinnitus one month ago. It is probably from a mixture of loud noise, stress and fluid in my middle ear. Yesterday I saw an ENT who was pretty blunt, and i was essentially left with "it might be permanent, get used to it, goodbye". My tinnitus had already started to subside at that point, i was on the path of being habituated (after just 1 month, i was proud!), and that visit sent me into a spiral. The tinnitus instantly came back EXTREMELY strong, it even reappeared in an ear where it was essentially gone. I started reading bad stories again and i became distressed again. Tonight, i started watching your videos, and already I can feel some improvement. I am far from being at ease with this condition, after all, I'm still listening to it. But even listening to it i can hear improvement. I will watch the rest of the playlist now, thank you for spreading much needing positivity in times of need
Hiw u Feel now?
Energy goes toward what you focus on. Focus on yes I’m getting rid of Tinnitus and you will. Focus on doom and gloom and you attract doom and gloom. PERIOD!! It’s that simple folks. Love the videos.
Hi Julian, a few days ago despair , now hope, I developed Tinnitus seven weeks ago, I knew what to expect as my father had it for 40 years. It is the most challenging thing I have ever faced. However, when I was really in a very dark place I came across a video posted by a dear lady in Scotland who has accepted and let go and is now "ok" with the tinnitus, her story is just so down to Earth and honest, truly uplifting, straight from her heart with an obvious desire to help fellow sufferers. This Lady's story brought me back. She mentioned you. Even knowing that just one person has a life again is just so wonderful I now know and accept that Tinnitus is part of me, I can't fight it or control it so it will submit to my desire for silence but I can at least work towards accepting and letting go. I know there will be ups and downs but for now its hope that dominates and it must continue to be that way. I don't know how 'bad' my Tinnitus is compared with yours but what I know is that it's hard not to focus on it and that only makes it worse. Keep positive, if you have faith, use it for good
I just read your comment how are you doing now. Can yiou tell me the name of the lady video in scotland I would like to listen to it.
I watch these over and over when I'm having symptoms and they Help me every time
Every single word that comes out of u are enough good reason to say "U're simply the best 🎵" and I love u !
Thank so much for all this work u do, thank u for having been through all this dark and painfull journey so that u are now the one able to rescue and to help so many people 💕💕💕
Just before watching this I was trying very hard to focus on my body instead of my 4-month-in tinnitus! I became so afraid of loosing touch with myself. Thank you so much. I am watching all of your videos. I've been going into panic. I felt like a hunted rabbit until I started listening to you. No more tinnitus chat rooms 😱😂
You are my hero right now.
Its been 4 months for me too
56 years of silence now 24 hrs a day of painful metalic sounding 7000 kz whistling that drives me insane on some days. Effects every part of my life
My work, family, friends , my playing in a band ...everything
There isnt enough focus on this from the govt or big pharm...the suffering is awful and effects millions of us daily
@@johnleclerc5711 how are you now ?
I just got tinnitus five days back after two months of health anxiety Julian. Actually I have always heard a faint ringing sound in silence and I thought that was Normal then I read about tinnitus and made myself believe its a condition and now I hear it louder. I think finding you on youtube instead of forums is a good thing that happened to me.
Hi! I also got tinnitus after months of anxiety due to Covid19! How are you today?
@@soar3135 Hello! I am perfectly fine. Tinnitus to some extent is common to many people, as I said I have always had it since childhood but it was health anxiety that made me pay more attention to it. I started meditation and yoga which made my anxiety go away and with that the tinnitus also became quieter or at least faded away in background.
I suggest you work on your anxiety, tinnitus too will stop bothering you
@@iabhimanyuu thank you so much for replying, im so glad you no longer have to deal with health anxiety- i know how exhausting it is. I was worried meditation might make me pay more attention to my tinnitus, since i always wear headphones to avoid the sound. I will try it out though! Perhaps I should face it instead of fearing it.... kind of like I did with anxiety!
@@soar3135 Exactly. Just knowing this that so many people out there have tinnitus and they don't even know it because it kind of like is a white noise to them would give you a sense of relief.
Tinnitus is not dangerous to you at all. now that I am talking to you about tinnitus that I have again paid attention to it.
Just let it be. Health anxiety makes you pay attention to every little sensation in your body.Anxiety is nothing but a form of fear.
You will be out of it believe me
Chances are that Eye floaters could be bothering you along with tinnitus. Which only goes on to show that how because of health anxiety we are paying attention to things which are common to many people who just don't care.
Treat tour anxiety and all others problems will simply vanish :)
Its Christmas Eve 2019 and my ears are spiking like crazy!!! im watching this for comfort!! its amazing how so little can mean so much!
Nick Marks all the best tinnitus does get better friend !
Thank you for your help and words of wisdom. As I WAS STUCK in doubt and fear and now have a way forward.
You pegged me. I am learning from you, thank you, david
I love ur vidéo (although I m not really good English speaker I m French). Thank u so much Julian !
Sometimes I dont know if my tinnitis gets louder or if I am just noticing it when I am stressed and anxious. I get very hyper aware of body sensations when I am anxious or when I feel panicky. When I get too anxious I become frightened over things that I would normally ignore. I not only notice sounds in my ears but I also will feel like my hearing is a little muted ( a little clogged). At times I am able to not feel fear about my T and then other times I feel scared to death from it. I find it hard to not feel hopeless at times because I never know how I am going to react to T.
Angela Gunn Wow. I literally feel the exact same way you do.
We are just same. This is what I felt right now ! :(
I have this clogged feeling a lot in my ear, too. Sometimes you get to read about 'tensor tympani syndrom' in that context, which describes a state of constant involuntary contractions of a muscle in the middle ear which usually blocks in order to protect the ear from louder sounds (kind of like a pupil reacts to light). As far as I know it's not scientifically proven (so no guarantee here) but it seems plausible to me that the more tense you are and the more afraid of sound you become the tighter the muscle becomes.
Sometimes I have the same situation. The more I fear Tinnitus, the more strength it gets. Therefore the point is not to dwell in our own fears, distraction or involves ourselves in other senses can relieve ourselves to some extent, making Tinnitus not so prominent.
@@henryhachihung hi could u share how u got tinnitus? What was the cause of your tinnitus?
Julian, I have T since 2012, I thought I learned how to deal with it but almost once month ago I got scared about a health issue and also my beloved dog of 13 years died.I felt there that my T came back stronger than ever,I am afraid that this spike will stay forever and ruin my life. I used to be a musician but since T i stoped composing music, I still active teaching music but these days I am feeling desperation with this issue.
Dear Alicia, it is so sad when a dog passes away. It can be overwhelming. This combined with fear is more than enough to activate tinnitus but this is NOT permanent. Please go and see a craniosacral therapist once a week for a couple of months and get help in processing your grief and helping your nervous system settle. Once you start feeling calmer and more settled the tinnitus will start to feel more manageable and back off. I also really encourage you to get back into composing again. This could be one of the best things you do to combat tinnitus. Think about it, you are going to use your musical imagination and experimentation at the piano or whatever you use to focus on something positive, creative and worthwhile. If you do something you love this will help you focus your attention off the tinnitus. What better masker could there be for you? Watch my focussing videos to help you get on track. th-cam.com/channels/P0pfmXnI8hMnXP52Eg2pEg.html
use them to get out of your head and back in touch with the body. This helps take the attention of tinnitus and reduce the hypersensitive hearing which leads to tinnitus. Good luck with it all. Love your music and love your abilities. This is bound to help you. Best wishes Julian

I started having Tinnitus after spending 20+ mins in a car with really loud music back in 2018. I've had it for couple of years but recently it got better to the point I never noticed it. There was no Tinnitus or even thought of it.
I am not sure if it was habituation or it just got fixed. But again after so many years I was exposed to loud noise at a concert and forgot to take my ear plugs. I only spent 10 - 15 mins there was bac k in the stage but now Tinnitus is back.
Thanks for this video!
Thank you! Very helpful!
Guys, I just want to share with you my results with the keto diet.
I went on keto when I was at my wits end and ready to jump off a bridge. For 4 months my tinnitus was unbearable, however I knew something was going on inside my body for the ringing in my ears to be so bad. I read a lot about keto helping tinnitus, so I figured I had nothing to lose. SINCE BEGINNING A KETO LIFESTYLE, MY LOFE HAS CHANGED SO DRAMATICALLY ITS AS IF THE ANGELS HABE GRANTED ME A GIFT. I’m not exaggerating. The ringing has gone from a 10 to a 4. Obviously I was most likely pre diabetic when I started- but what do you have to lose except some of your tinnitus volume? TRY KETO you guys!!!!
If you need an app to keep you on track with keto, try life sum. Wishing you all quieter days ahead!
My TINNITUS start when I was in keto diet and it's getting louder if I do the intermittent fasting
thank you
thanks
Ur tinitus really gone?
We're all in this together. I have an idea.
Mr. Hill. As a sufferer of tinnitus for at least the past 20 years, I can promise you that moving toward your suffering and then make "friends" with your suffering is utterly silly; and this is about the most polite way I can say this.
I understand where you are coming from. But resisting it, pretending it is not there and fighting it can prolong the misery. Putting your attention into relaxing the body is a good strategy because you let the T be and at the same time bring down the irritability and settle the nervous system. This helps it back off which enables you to make friends with it more and more.
My grandma passed away and I noticed that my tinnitus got worst. I think it's because I'm depressed but what I enjoy and I love doing is singing opera but because when I sing it's a higher frequency it bothers me a lot! I need some help, thank you!
I have had T for the last 5 weeks now and my doctor says it's probably noise induced. I'm trying to cope with it as best I can. Some days I feel more positive than others. When I go out with my friends and have a few wines the T seems to go, and I mean completely. So it can come and go and come and within the space of one evening. The next day it's back. Is that normal?
Exactly the same here. And in the evening when I get to bed it almost or completely disappears too
Hey did your T gone better?
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏 Julian speak you german?!
hi can someone tell me if they have similar symptoms with mine on some days my t is very low and sometimes too then there are days where i lose hope plus a whole different tone is added sometimes to already existing one making me stressed my t started approximately 45 days ago can someone tell me what can i do?plus i have buzzing and vibration in body and head and mine started when i waa really stressed out and paid attention to a normal beep which lasts seconds only
Your central nervous system is constantly adjusting itself according to how safe you feel. If you develop a strong, clear, central focus then the volatility calms down and the hypersensitivity settles back towards normal. Please practice the boatmast meditation and the yawning and face massage in the First Things First section of my app www.quietenapp.com and learn calming and distracting yoga or tai chi, and also find a good body-based therapist to help your nervous system settle back into well-being mode (out of freeze or fight or flight) and it is very likely you will get much much better. If you need a personal session to talk this through in detail please contact me on info@juliancowanhill.co.uk
Hi I've recently got tinnitus and it's horrible at night time! I've always clenched my jaw I'm my sleep could this have been a cause
Tension and stress cause the jaw to clench and cause tinnitus to keep going. Letting go of physical tension or nervous tension helps tinnitus back off. Stress is probably the cause for both the jaw clenching and the tinnitus.
Hey Chris how are you now
I swear we can not find such vidéo in French. I can not thank God enought to have force me in a very special part of my life to learn English lol 😉
So, are tinnitus support groups not helpful? Because I shouldn’t surround myself with people with tinnitus? I was told I should look for a support group, was that the wrong advice?
He is talking about the people with tinnitus who are stuck on negativity. Those will not help your cause. He suggests looking for positive outcomes or outlook on tinnitus instead.
my father has recently got this tinnitus problem and he even feeling too dizzy...Dr gave him injections for thrice a day for 5 days....but can't see a percent improvement....plzz help😍
he not even able to walk for few steps ....feeling like felling down...all moving around...plz help...he is 57yrs

@@evelyneeliana8254 how is your T now?
Julian can I wear some type of ear plugs at work? I work at a bank but sometimes there is a lot going on. will it hurt to try that??
dont know if you ever got a reply. i se earplugs all the time with tinnitus. although it blocks out external noice, my tinnitus becomes quite annoying, but the volume usually is lower. just try it out man. btw, do you still even have tinnitus? id love to hear some miracles right now xD
How do u get tid of the activation
You can learn how to bring the activation down by getting good hands-on support from craniosacral therapy or another calming hands-on therapy eg reflexology etc. Learning to self-soothe and settle with gentle yoga, tai chi also helps things settle. Please download my app (for the price of a coffee) which explains how tinnitus works, what helps it get better and teaches you coping strategies to help stop reacting to it, let it be and start to let go of it: www.quietenapp.com/ If you need personal support to get you on the road to recovery please contact me here: info@juliancowanhill.co.uk Wishing you well, Julian
