I've had this ever since I was born. I thought the ringing was normal until I spoke about it. Makes me wonder how many other things I think are normal but actually aren't... I didn't realize tinnitus had different pitches or sounds though. Mine is a very high pitch ringing. I've lived with it so long (I'm 17) that it's become actually soothing to me. Sometimes while I'm in public places or just in a silent room I completely tune out everything but the ringing as it slowly completely consumes my hearing.
Same here, at least on the soothing part. Once during a job interview the room where we were waiting was complete silence. I'm pretty sure everyone was nervous as well as me. So I just switch to listen to my tinnitus and problem solved. That actually helped me relax. But some other times it could be annoying, like if I get drunk (I'm in my 30's). The moment I get drunk it's like turning the volume of the tinnitus to level max. Which is why I don't drunk much anymore.
Same here. when a was little i thought that was normal. i remember having it throughout my entire life. i think i aquire it due to a very severe ear infections that i suffered from when i was around 3.
This is exactly like mine and I'm 15 I always thought it was normal bc I've had it for as long as I can remember and then a while ago I just decided to look it up out of the blue and turns out this is it
I've had tinnitus for about 3 years now, and it sounds exactly like the 2nd one. It drove me insane when it first came on as a result of hearing loss in my left ear. Getting to sleep was difficult but not impossible. Now I'm able to ignore it most of the time and I sleep very well.
Jeff and Zachary, thank you. My tinnitus is the same as yours. I just played it to my partner who frowned and winced. Yes, sweetheart. This is what I hear when it's quiet and I'm trying to go to sleep. This is what I hear ALL day long.
I feel lucky that mine is mild enough just about every sound masks it. Only in very quiet rooms can I hear it. Left ear is a hiss right ear a tiny ringing.
+papnlockin That how mine was for years the white noise from a fan totally blocked it out but one day it was someone flipped a switch and it so darn loud nothing normal masks it anymore. I hope you're luckier than me and your tinnitus never gets any worse.
@@seesea-sv3xw mine is like a light ringing hiss its low and i can sleep normal with it in my right ear but im on a treatment colled tinnitus desensitisation therapy to make the sound less aware of it over time
I've had tinnitus for about 15 years , both ears, but recently the left has stepped up a level and sounds like the first mans example, I'm really miffed at the prospect of enduring this!!.
I've had it relatively low for 7 years now, although it sometimes increases in volume - and I'm used to it :) It gets better, for anyone listening for hope out there. After some time you learn to cope. Don't read or watch horrific stories about tinnitus. It will make it worse. Take care and remember that at some point, your brain won't see it as a threat anymore and you will no longer panic when noticing it.
Just had it for past three weeks, I suspect because of a light bulb I didn't fit properly that emitted a high frequency hum for about a month. Woke up with this, and it's not going away.

Hi, I’m hoping my story and current project may help some of you coming to terms with or living with long term tinnitus. I’m a drummer and music producer for over 30 years. In the early days I never protected my ears good enough and as a result developed Tinnitus in both ears, but more problematic in the left. It really surfaced badly about 5 years ago, when I had a cold and the ringing in my ears seemed like it would never go away. It was scary. And it seemed the more I focused on it, the louder it got and the more distressed I got. This became a vicious cycle for nearly 12 months. Thankfully it eased of a bit, but last thing at night and first thing in the morning is when it is most noticeable. Falling asleep can be hard, so for ages I watched TV or a movie/podcast to distract me, but I found that just kept my brain active and I would stay awake too long! With more research I came across some TH-cam videos with things like the sound of waves, or rain etc. After adjusting my routine to not switch on the T.V, and just listen to these sounds, I found that not only did it help with my Tinnitus, but it also was very medative and relaxing. So, being a producer, I soon became disappointed with the lack of high quality recordings out there, and have recently started to make my own recordings with high grade studio equipment. I have started to become quit obsessed and this week decided to upload my work for others to benefit from. There is something really therapeutic about going out into nature and just listening to the sounds. Through doing this, I have found my Tinnitus to be hugely reduced, sometimes tottaly unnoticeable. unless I think about it of course ( that is the key!). The more I relax, switch off, listen to these sounds and drift away, the less I notice that constant ringing in my ears. So I encourage you all to try this. Well at least check out these types of Videos if you haven’t before. There are lots of them out there. It takes a while to adjust and learn to switch off, but I highly recommend it.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read my post and good luck! X x x
Thank you for putting this up. Soon as I heard it I wanted to cry cause I could never explain to my family just what I was hearing in my head. Different days, different rings/hums or sometimes multiple ones. Had this since I was little, now in my 50's. Can drive you nuts if you let it. Funny thing, even though this damn ringing is soooo loud, the Dr. says I have really great hearing!!! Going to try that lipo flavonoid ????
One thing that can help with tinnitus, is the amount of sleep. An excessive amount of sleep could increase the noise, as well as sleep deprivation. Try to find your best amount of sleep, around 7 hours typically works.
I've had tinnitus 54 years, the last 10 years - extreme. It's like any handicap that you live with. About 30% of the woken day it's as loud as a train. I try reading lips. I have several sounds but there not always present and sometimes I have a new sound for a short while. A loud hand dryer is soothing but loud people at a diner is distressing. When I had an MRI my ear started making MRI sounds - I thought noooooooo but it lasted hours intermittently. That event had me think more of the cause. It sometimes is loud at night and takes hours to get sleeping. But dreaming I don't notice it at all. The other night I had one of the most pleasant dreams of my life and when it started to fade the tinnitus faded in but somehow I but the brakes on and the DREAM CAME BACK and I was back in the dream without tinnitus. 54 years ago I blew the ear listening to Highway 61 Revisted - the tinnitus was loud for a brief time and then faint until loud 44 years later
I thought it was my crappy speakers but my tinnitus was masking the sounds of the 2nd and 3rd. I picked it up on the second play through. My name is Paul, and my tinnitus is like the 2nd and sometimes 3rd, more in the right ear. I've had it for 30 odd years now. My first memories of these subjective sounds was as a whoosh whoosh back when I was about 5 and its been getting progressively worse as I get older. loud music after a short duration causes me pain. I can never enjoy a loud event unless I have some good ear plugs. This is our silence..... madness for anyone else.
mblabezza lol!!! I synced with Jeff's... i had to go back and replay that section because at first I thought the sound had given out in the video and I thought that couldn't be right...
I had tinnitus for about 10 years now. I never knew what silence is in these 10 years. I'm hoping it will be okay. The second is the exact one like mine...
I've had tinnitus since I was a kid after a large speaker blew out when I was standing right next to it. Mine is a lot higher pitched than these and quite loud and has made me partially deaf. I've learned to cope with it but some days are worse than others, generally i've got to keep noise around me at all times (usually in the form of music or a fan blowing in my face + netflix for when i'm going to sleep.) or else it gets worse if I let it go for too long. Silence is a thing of the past and I've accepted it and learned to live with it. Take care of your ears people, wear ear plugs at concerts, listen to things at a reasonable level, and take care of your ears.
Mine sounds like the second guys starting around :16. Im sure I caused my own via loud music. Was always hard to explain to someone what it was. This really helps. Thanks!
I started with the high pitch ringing in my early 20's and learned to deal with it, but now I'm 50 and I've developed a louder low tone that I cant ignore.😞
I have tinnitus since 2006. It depends on the period… during happy periods I can just forget out it. When I do I just tell myself that I did not have it during these days. It is a way to trick myself and keep floating. We are not alone.
Every day for as long as I can remember I have somewhere between 2 & 4 as a low, constant tinnitus. Kinda used to that at this point unless something begins my attention to it. But every now and then, I'll get #1 as an all consuming sound in both ears that drowns everything out. Usually only lasts a minute or two at least... But so painful. When people tell you not to listen to music loud... Believe them.
For me it’s like someone hissing inside my ears and it really feels very awkward on my outer ear walls. Like some evil forces residing inside my ear and try to say something to me everyday.
I GOT ALL THESE NOISES FOR 13 YEARS... LOUD GUNS & ROSES , SAMBA OR SALSA MUSIC CAN RELIEVE YOU FROM THE STRESS ...AND LOTS JD & COKES WITH LOTS OF ICE ...AND AFTER SLEEPING PILLS ..... SILENCE AFTER ALL IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING WE CAN HAVE ...
Reading the comments makes me feel grateful I got mine at such an early age. I'm so used to it that I'm not even sure how I'd feel if I ever experienced complete silence. The thought actually scares me a little.
First of all, thank you for this channel and the opportunity to share our experiences living with tinnitus. Recently, I've been experimenting with meditation and marijuana and I've been able to change the frequency of my tinnitus on purpose to the point where I almost don't hear it anymore. I'm getting better at it with each session, but it's difficult to explain to others how I do it... but the fact that I can lower the intensity of the ringing gives me hope. I will keep practicing and will share if I can get rid of it. But I do find relief already! Anyone else trying alternative therapies to cure or alleviate their tinnitus?
I can't really describe what I hear but it is a bit like when you watch war movies, there is a grenade explosion and the person gets this weird after shock noise because he stood way too close to the area...Does anyone have this noise? I have it for over 4 days now, I can co-pe with it but prefer more silence xD
2nd one was almost a perfect match to mines, cant remember ever not having it because like many others i thought this was a normal occurance and did not think anything of it.
Hello everyone Firstly , I apologize if my words hurt somebody before saying them. Tinnitus is not a disease at all. Its rare and divine gift from God . All these sounds you listen they are for real and in my religion we meditate for hours to become thoughtless so that we can concentrate to those divine sounds and they change as you start listening to them.
I have a constant high pitched sound as well, and sometimes it changes up and down for a few seconds- a bit like an old fashioned radio trying to find the right frequency. It really hurts when that happens! Also, i have to put my fingers in my ears immediately when a fire engine/ police car goes past with sirens blazing when i am walking down the street, or if a car/ bus etc brakes and has a high pitched sound or if someone goes past me in a supermarket with a wonky trolley. It's excruciating!!! the other thing is- when it's completely silent at night, i am left with this high pitched frequency, plus what sounds like music from the distance at a festival/ radio in the background/ someone next door playing an instrument... anyone else get that? I really miss the sound of pure silence.
I get the exact same sounds. I love to go out and look at the stars at night and can't even enjoy that because the ringing is so loud. I also get the background music as well. Weird, I've never heard anyone else experiencing this until now. My tinnitus is likely a result of several concussions and a TBI. Combine the T with Fibromyalgia and it can make for very unpleasant existence 😢
Mine sounds like all those sounds combined with some bells and bird chirps thrown in - and an annoying three note sequencing which plays over and over. Like tuning in a radio, or the old internet dial up.
Jesus Christ, that's a nightmare! As for me, I hear a clicking sound in my life ear. I have no idea if it's caused by some kind of sinus disease or schizophrenia so I'm terrified of telling the doctors.
Mine sound like the 2nd guy and 4th guy. It doesn't effect me as much as it used to. Now I only hear it when I turn the TV off and it's completely quiet or sometimes at work when the speakers have a bit of feedback. Only lasts round a minute to 3 minutes and people don't understand and think I'm faking it.
I have snapping & crackling in addition to the high-pitched ring, called "typewriter tinnitus". It's like someone typing at 30 words per minute, and then it speeds up when hearing other high pitched sounds like water running, opening a crinkly bag of chips, tires on a wet road, etc. My audiologist has never had a patient with this before. So it must be rare.
Immune is the loudest one you heard here and it's bad and sometimes I am suicidel. It's the worse thing any human can have. I rather live with HIV or anything else. I hope to get relief from an ENT that specializes in tinnitus next week. I know it's not curable but depending on what's going on you may get relief and the nose may be softer. I hope so in the name of the lord. Amen
I'm pretty sure I have Tinnitus now. It started when I went to a cinema to watch Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. The volume was up a little too high, and anyone who's seen the movie will know that there is an incredibly loud noise near the start. My right ear has been constantly ringing ever since, at the same pitch as Jeff in this video.
#4 sounds like mine, but mine is a lot louder than that. I just had a recent, severe, spike in volume just two weeks ago. It tripled in volume while I was at work, and didn't fade at all until over a half hour later, at which point it settled in to a volume level about double what it had been for the last 30 years. It's remained that that level ever since.
wow, no comments/. I've got Tinnitus and Hyperacusis and it's a raging siren on my head.. The f'ing worse thing I've ever lived with, going on 9 years now.
FOR EVERYONE WHO IS JUST FEELING THIS, ASAP GO TO AN URGENT CARE AND TELL THEM YOU THINK ITS AN INFECTION SO YOU CAN GET ANTI BIOTICS ASAP. Thats one way that can save you. AND MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW UP 2-5 DAYS AFTER. The symptoms they might look for is hearing loss, any cough in the last month, pain, and not all at the same time.
omfg i cant even hear two of the people because my tinnitus is going harder... mine is a combination of the first and the last one. had 4 ear surgeries and maybe i need another one. my tinnitus reacts to noise so even shopping can be a crime for me. the lady with the glasses i feel horrible for her. that sounds like the worst noise ever. I wish you people the best and hope you enjoy the silence one day again
It was weird when the sound of tinnitus from Jeff was played, it was like the video went silent during his sound. It was like the sound from my iPad was suddenly turned off or muted. I immediately called my wife to listen and she heard the high pitched section that Jeff heard. Jeff's Tinnitus sound is also mine.
I don’t have tinnitus but twice in my life I heard something like sues, but a with a added sound of a distant machine banging. It made me nauseous and gave me anxiety
I've added it for over 10 years and in 20 and over time it just keeps getting louder and louder sleep is starting to get alot harder and I'm finding my self sitting on my bed for a while every night trying to sleep and playing music used to work but now the ring is seeming to be louder than the music most of the time
I was born with tinnitus, I thought the ringing in the ears was normal and for years I thought that was what silence sounded like, now I know that silence has no sound at all.
@@khbkcbdck I was born with it, so it is normal to me. I dont even notice it during the day, unless I think about it, You will get used to it, . Take care
When I first heard my tinnitus I thought it was a temporary. Now, after almost 15 years I still hear it. Sometimes I get really weird thoughts about it. I think tinnitus is radio frequency because it sounds the same. And we can hear it, because we have some kind of super hearing. I'm just over the ledge with my tinnitus. I just wish I could live the life of others without tinnitus.
Nukilsial thing is that everyone has this. Its not supposed to be some sort if threat. Its a little something called frequency. Its all around us. Its just people that are really anxious and stressed out that somehow start to realize this. Work on your anxiety and stress. Go out for a walk. Exercise. Focus on a goal. Take care ❤
Mine is kind of like first guy, Jeff and Rochelle overlapping with different levels in each ear. Sometimes it changes a bit, sometimes I get more of a start stop chime sound in one ear and if I hold my nose and push air in my ears, it levels out to a more constant noise for a while. I've had these sounds since I can remember, no obvious cause but had some ear infections as a kid.
but how loud is it ? because if you turn down the voice it's gets more like the normal or natural amount of hissing that normal people here when it's gets silent
glad to see there are so many here who have this issue other than myself. I've never been diagnosed but I've had what the 3rd girl sounds like for many years and it's gotten worse recently, more prominent in my left ear, right ear is a bit quieter. I only hear it mainly in a quiet room, if the tv is playing I only notice it if I think about it but once the room gets quiet it's there. Annoying.
OMG when i herd the 2nd 1 think was Tom that's me for the last few yrs , it's that bad can hardly concentrate on what my family have to say around me , but i do think is down to a certain medication i am on for nerve pain Gabapentin also happened after bad sinus and ear infection , whicj is also a side affect of this medication ,mybe not for all but for me really dont understand ppl how say they find this soothing ??????? wish was sooth for me and most other ppl would LOVE to feel it soothing
I have no idea if I have it, I hear sort of a short ocean wave repeated sound. But goes away when I hear something, when I don't hear anything i start hearing this. Do I have it? I'm scared.
Thanks for this guys. This is going on my fb page, just so people know I'm not exaggerating and also just how shit it is! Of course when it hits my tone, i couldn't hear my own! x
I have had tinnitus for 2 years now loll I am 26. as I am, hearing it right now it's a bit louder since I am, drinking loll. I am, so use to it that the sound does that really bother me anymore. I sleep with my air conditioning on it doesn't mask the sound but gives me another background noise that distract myself from the sound. I think I can handle it better than others, as far as I am concerned I won the battle against tinnitus because I don't let it bother me,
I have the same, but only at night when it is completly silent. It started suddenly yesterday. Omg it will stay with me to the end of life (same sound like in this video). Im going mad, cus i haveenough problems in my life.
@@nyyyankee yeah exactly but i dont think its a tinnitus. because if i think like 'oh shit this a problem' than it s get worse. I think like this is the sound of silence and keep my brain busy.
Occasionally when I listen to music rather loud in my headphones I get a ringing noise for about 2 minutes, but it always go away. Is that a problem, is that tinnitus?
Be careful with headphones. It might not happen soon, but if you keep listening to your headphones loudly then you will get to a point where the ringing noise could become permanent. Ear damage is cumulative and irreversible.
question thoe it's same sound when a spirit / ghost visits. and it happened exact moment when family died but so much louder then got phonecall in seconds after it. it's the [2nd one] i get most time so how do you know if it spirital or if its tinnitus? because it's exacly same. my hearing 100 percent good. and iam not old.
my Tinnitus is maddening. I here multiple tones some very low, some piercingly high like in the video.. constantly going all at once. It even warbles together. Now, ever since I moved into my new house, I hear a very low rumble like a generator or motor running, mixed in with sound of 10-15 second grade children blowing all different, continuous notes on a musical recorder. Ugh.. I've tried smashing my head in the wall to make it stop, but that hurts and it doesn't work. :( I pray for silence...just give me silence..
Mine comes in and out, but within the last year its been bugging me more. I hear a few different pitches from time to time, catching me off gaurd when it changes. Most of the time it does noit bother me, but it will come up in complete silence, when im under stress, or when ive worked too hard. There is a constant whistle in my ears, it feels as though it bounces around in my head and behind my eyes, sometimes ill have what i refer to as a tinnitus attack where its the only thing i can hear or focus on, the backround whistle become very large and very scary. It puts me out of commission for about 30 seconds max. Those dont happen very often and luckly im surrounded by people who will support me through it. What i do to reset my ears is listen to a low droning sound. It feels like it cancels it out and i can go on with my day. Just recently, i learned that this ails others and is an actual problem. It makes me comfortable that there are others that understand my pain
Wow, some of these must be really hard to live with, I have 0:20 but slightly quieter, I feel lucky(so far) that it's not that noticeable with ambient sound but it can get annoying when in a quiet place.
My tinnitus sounds just like Zachary's. I have no idea what silence is, I thought this is what the world sounded like. I'm 42 and that's a damn shame I've suffered all this time. Another weird thing about my ears...I've never produced "real" ear wax.
I couldn't hear most of these, because I can't hear high noises. I also regularly get tinnitus which can stay for a week up to a month. I am only 20. I never go to a parties, concerts or even movies without earplugs, my tinnitus appears from out of nowhere, it has nothing to do with hearing loud sounds, sometimes I just wake up with tinnitus.
i was born with this , i mostly relate to 'sue' basicly exactly the same (sleeping with a ventilator almost 6years now the constant sound of it masks my tinitus) seems to do the trick..
I have all but 1 of these. Both ears multitudes of noises nonstop 10 years. Concentrating can be impossible at times. I sometimes just cry. My friends/family know I hear phone conversations better in my car on Bluetooth. I leave tv on basically 24/7. Or to sleep I often play albums of moving water on my cellphone. TH-cam raining videos are calming white noise for sleeping - some are black screened. What’s sad is hearing loss. No cure. Unknown causes. Bunch of fake cures and treatments here TH-cam. At least I’m not alone.
Honestly I don’t even know what silence is anymore
Same here
me too
the video ended but the ringing stayed
sheeeeeeeet
That's deep.
Fearlesswagger same...

Hi,
I’m hoping my story and current project may help some of you coming to terms with or living with long term tinnitus.
I’m a drummer and music producer for over 30 years. In the early days I never protected my ears good enough and as a result developed Tinnitus in both ears, but more problematic in the left.
It really surfaced badly about 5 years ago, when I had a cold and the ringing in my ears seemed like it would never go away. It was scary. And it seemed the more I focused on it, the louder it got and the more distressed I got. This became a vicious cycle for nearly 12 months. Thankfully it eased of a bit, but last thing at night and first thing in the morning is when it is most noticeable.
Falling asleep can be hard, so for ages I watched TV or a movie/podcast to distract me, but I found that just kept my brain active and I would stay awake too long!
With more research I came across some TH-cam videos with things like the sound of waves, or rain etc. After adjusting my routine to not switch on the T.V, and just listen to these sounds, I found that not only did it help with my Tinnitus, but it also was very medative and relaxing.
So, being a producer, I soon became disappointed with the lack of high quality recordings out there, and have recently started to make my own recordings with high grade studio equipment. I have started to become quit obsessed and this week decided to upload my work for others to benefit from.
There is something really therapeutic about going out into nature and just listening to the sounds.
Through doing this, I have found my Tinnitus to be hugely reduced, sometimes tottaly unnoticeable. unless I think about it of course ( that is the key!). The more I relax, switch off, listen to these sounds and drift away, the less I notice that constant ringing in my ears.
So I encourage you all to try this. Well at least check out these types of Videos if you haven’t before. There are lots of them out there. It takes a while to adjust and learn to switch off, but I highly recommend it.
If you would like to check out my work so far here’s the link to my channel-

Funny thing, even though this damn ringing is soooo loud, the Dr. says I have really great hearing!!! Going to try that lipo flavonoid ????
have you tried acupuncture?
I thought I was picking up radio waves…
@@joeyouyang No I haven't. But I did have a Cranial Adjustment from my Chiropractor. It actually worked for about a day!
One thing that can help with tinnitus, is the amount of sleep. An excessive amount of sleep could increase the noise, as well as sleep deprivation. Try to find your best amount of sleep, around 7 hours typically works.
I've had tinnitus 54 years, the last 10 years - extreme. It's like any handicap that you live with. About 30% of the woken day it's as loud as a train. I try reading lips. I have several sounds but there not always present and sometimes I have a new sound for a short while. A loud hand dryer is soothing but loud people at a diner is distressing. When I had an MRI my ear started making MRI sounds - I thought noooooooo but it lasted hours intermittently. That event had me think more of the cause. It sometimes is loud at night and takes hours to get sleeping. But dreaming I don't notice it at all. The other night I had one of the most pleasant dreams of my life and when it started to fade the tinnitus faded in but somehow I but the brakes on and the DREAM CAME BACK and I was back in the dream without tinnitus. 54 years ago I blew the ear listening to Highway 61 Revisted - the tinnitus was loud for a brief time and then faint until loud 44 years later
I thought it was my crappy speakers but my tinnitus was masking the sounds of the 2nd and 3rd. I picked it up on the second play through.
My name is Paul, and my tinnitus is like the 2nd and sometimes 3rd, more in the right ear. I've had it for 30 odd years now. My first memories of these subjective sounds was as a whoosh whoosh back when I was about 5 and its been getting progressively worse as I get older.
loud music after a short duration causes me pain. I can never enjoy a loud event unless I have some good ear plugs.
This is our silence..... madness for anyone else.
OMG I barely heard zacharies. It synced with mine EXACTLY! That's so bizzar lol
mblabezza lol!!! I synced with Jeff's... i had to go back and replay that section because at first I thought the sound had given out in the video and I thought that couldn't be right...
me too
mblabezza I know. I couldn't actually hear it until I put in headphones. His was closest to mine.
me too
Is it gone now?
I had tinnitus for about 10 years now. I never knew what silence is in these 10 years. I'm hoping it will be okay. The second is the exact one like mine...
I've had tinnitus since I was a kid after a large speaker blew out when I was standing right next to it. Mine is a lot higher pitched than these and quite loud and has made me partially deaf. I've learned to cope with it but some days are worse than others, generally i've got to keep noise around me at all times (usually in the form of music or a fan blowing in my face + netflix for when i'm going to sleep.) or else it gets worse if I let it go for too long. Silence is a thing of the past and I've accepted it and learned to live with it. Take care of your ears people, wear ear plugs at concerts, listen to things at a reasonable level, and take care of your ears.
Eagle Heart i have to now im 18 4 moutch listen so much music my ear warning my so much dont do that so yeah i did not listen
Mine sounds like the second guys starting around :16. Im sure I caused my own via loud music. Was always hard to explain to someone what it was. This really helps. Thanks!
I started with the high pitch ringing in my early 20's and learned to deal with it, but now I'm 50 and I've developed a louder low tone that I cant ignore.😞
Wow 30 years u strong
I have tinnitus since 2006. It depends on the period… during happy periods I can just forget out it. When I do I just tell myself that I did not have it during these days. It is a way to trick myself and keep floating. We are not alone.
Every day for as long as I can remember I have somewhere between 2 & 4 as a low, constant tinnitus. Kinda used to that at this point unless something begins my attention to it.
But every now and then, I'll get #1 as an all consuming sound in both ears that drowns everything out. Usually only lasts a minute or two at least... But so painful.
When people tell you not to listen to music loud... Believe them.
For me it’s like someone hissing inside my ears and it really feels very awkward on my outer ear walls. Like some evil forces residing inside my ear and try to say something to me everyday.
I GOT ALL THESE NOISES FOR 13 YEARS... LOUD GUNS & ROSES , SAMBA OR SALSA MUSIC CAN RELIEVE YOU FROM THE STRESS ...AND LOTS JD & COKES WITH LOTS OF ICE ...AND AFTER SLEEPING PILLS ..... SILENCE AFTER ALL IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING WE CAN HAVE ...
The first example is scary. Imagine living with that 24/7.
TheJustin4848 your brain can adapt to most things,even this in time🙏
So sad I'll never know what true silence sounds like...
Hearing these just makes me so sad. Mine seems to get louder by the day.
Reading the comments makes me feel grateful I got mine at such an early age. I'm so used to it that I'm not even sure how I'd feel if I ever experienced complete silence. The thought actually scares me a little.
First of all, thank you for this channel and the opportunity to share our experiences living with tinnitus. Recently, I've been experimenting with meditation and marijuana and I've been able to change the frequency of my tinnitus on purpose to the point where I almost don't hear it anymore. I'm getting better at it with each session, but it's difficult to explain to others how I do it... but the fact that I can lower the intensity of the ringing gives me hope. I will keep practicing and will share if I can get rid of it. But I do find relief already! Anyone else trying alternative therapies to cure or alleviate their tinnitus?
I can't really describe what I hear but it is a bit like when you watch war movies, there is a grenade explosion and the person gets this weird after shock noise because he stood way too close to the area...Does anyone have this noise? I have it for over 4 days now, I can co-pe with it but prefer more silence xD
Pure_Savage 04 sure its not WW2 flashbacks?
How's it now
Pure_Savage 04 I have that same sound but less louder and more high pitched
This drives me freaking nuts! When I'm least expecting, there it goes! Mine is closest to the third example.
2nd one was almost a perfect match to mines, cant remember ever not having it because like many others i thought this was a normal occurance and did not think anything of it.
Mine is a sinewave at 17145 hz + noise at the same frequency. However I quite enjoy it, I wouldn't want it to stop.
Hello everyone
Firstly , I apologize if my words hurt somebody before saying them.
Tinnitus is not a disease at all. Its rare and divine gift from God .
All these sounds you listen they are for real and in my religion we meditate for hours to become thoughtless so that we can concentrate to those divine sounds and they change as you start listening to them.
The sound of my tinnitus is closest to Zachary's, but my pronunciation of "tinnitus" is closest to Rochelle's.
This is a very good re creation of the sounds we hear in the tinnitus communiy.... my own sound is the first one.
You know you're fucked when you're waiting for the sound to start, only to realise it's already playing
I have a constant high pitched sound as well, and sometimes it changes up and down for a few seconds- a bit like an old fashioned radio trying to find the right frequency. It really hurts when that happens! Also, i have to put my fingers in my ears immediately when a fire engine/ police car goes past with sirens blazing when i am walking down the street, or if a car/ bus etc brakes and has a high pitched sound or if someone goes past me in a supermarket with a wonky trolley. It's excruciating!!! the other thing is- when it's completely silent at night, i am left with this high pitched frequency, plus what sounds like music from the distance at a festival/ radio in the background/ someone next door playing an instrument... anyone else get that? I really miss the sound of pure silence.
I get the exact same sounds. I love to go out and look at the stars at night and can't even enjoy that because the ringing is so loud. I also get the background music as well. Weird, I've never heard anyone else experiencing this until now. My tinnitus is likely a result of several concussions and a TBI. Combine the T with Fibromyalgia and it can make for very unpleasant existence 😢
Mine sounds like all those sounds combined with some bells and bird chirps thrown in - and an annoying three note sequencing which plays over and over. Like tuning in a radio, or the old internet dial up.
What's the frequency of zachary's (the 4th person) tinnitus? His tinnitus sound really relieves mine lol
okay thats enough tinnitus videos ….
Amen to that, and this was just the first since months
Jesus Christ, that's a nightmare! As for me, I hear a clicking sound in my life ear. I have no idea if it's caused by some kind of sinus disease or schizophrenia so I'm terrified of telling the doctors.
I always hear it in my head but i just realize it when i concentrate on it. I dont care
Mine sound like the 2nd guy and 4th guy. It doesn't effect me as much as it used to. Now I only hear it when I turn the TV off and it's completely quiet or sometimes at work when the speakers have a bit of feedback. Only lasts round a minute to 3 minutes and people don't understand and think I'm faking it.
I have snapping & crackling in addition to the high-pitched ring, called "typewriter tinnitus". It's like someone typing at 30 words per minute, and then it speeds up when hearing other high pitched sounds like water running, opening a crinkly bag of chips, tires on a wet road, etc. My audiologist has never had a patient with this before. So it must be rare.
Is this treatable?
Immune is the loudest one you heard here and it's bad and sometimes I am suicidel. It's the worse thing any human can have. I rather live with HIV or anything else. I hope to get relief from an ENT that specializes in tinnitus next week. I know it's not curable but depending on what's going on you may get relief and the nose may be softer. I hope so in the name of the lord. Amen
Mine sounds like the 2nd guy, very high pitched so it can be hard to mask sometimes.
Yeah mine is also High Pitched as well but Not all the time
sometimes it goes away and comes back which I REALLY REALLY HATE
Yes, I hear the same sound (same as the one on 0:19 seconds) in my left ear only. Can anyone determine the frequency of that noise).
Me too
I'm pretty sure I have Tinnitus now. It started when I went to a cinema to watch Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. The volume was up a little too high, and anyone who's seen the movie will know that there is an incredibly loud noise near the start. My right ear has been constantly ringing ever since, at the same pitch as Jeff in this video.
#4 sounds like mine, but mine is a lot louder than that. I just had a recent, severe, spike in volume just two weeks ago. It tripled in volume while I was at work, and didn't fade at all until over a half hour later, at which point it settled in to a volume level about double what it had been for the last 30 years. It's remained that that level ever since.
wow, no comments/. I've got Tinnitus and Hyperacusis and it's a raging siren on my head.. The f'ing worse thing I've ever lived with, going on 9 years now.
FOR EVERYONE WHO IS JUST FEELING THIS, ASAP GO TO AN URGENT CARE AND TELL THEM YOU THINK ITS AN INFECTION SO YOU CAN GET ANTI BIOTICS ASAP. Thats one way that can save you. AND MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW UP 2-5 DAYS AFTER. The symptoms they might look for is hearing loss, any cough in the last month, pain, and not all at the same time.
omfg i cant even hear two of the people because my tinnitus is going harder...
mine is a combination of the first and the last one.
had 4 ear surgeries and maybe i need another one.
my tinnitus reacts to noise so even shopping can be a crime for me.
the lady with the glasses i feel horrible for her. that sounds like the worst noise ever.
I wish you people the best and hope you enjoy the silence one day again
It was weird when the sound of tinnitus from Jeff was played, it was like the video went silent during his sound. It was like the sound from my iPad was suddenly turned off or muted. I immediately called my wife to listen and she heard the high pitched section that Jeff heard. Jeff's Tinnitus sound is also mine.
Covid has left me with the same tinnitus as Zachery
I have tinitus like Michelle, and this creep has been killing me for the second year, I hate this sound!
I don’t have tinnitus but twice in my life I heard something like sues, but a with a added sound of a distant machine banging. It made me nauseous and gave me anxiety
Had it since birth. Never known anything different. Silence seems odd to me, I don’t particularly want badly to get rid of tinnitus.
I've added it for over 10 years and in 20 and over time it just keeps getting louder and louder sleep is starting to get alot harder and I'm finding my self sitting on my bed for a while every night trying to sleep and playing music used to work but now the ring is seeming to be louder than the music most of the time
I was born with tinnitus, I thought the ringing in the ears was normal and for years I thought that was what silence sounded like, now I know that silence has no sound at all.
for how long you have it? how do you cope it? ....I have it for 2 years now and my life has changed. I have goo days and sometimes very bad days tho.
@@khbkcbdck I was born with it, so it is normal to me. I dont even notice it during the day, unless I think about it, You will get used to it, . Take care
When I first heard my tinnitus I thought it was a temporary. Now, after almost 15 years I still hear it. Sometimes I get really weird thoughts about it. I think tinnitus is radio frequency because it sounds the same. And we can hear it, because we have some kind of super hearing. I'm just over the ledge with my tinnitus. I just wish I could live the life of others without tinnitus.
Nukilsial thing is that everyone has this. Its not supposed to be some sort if threat. Its a little something called frequency. Its all around us. Its just people that are really anxious and stressed out that somehow start to realize this. Work on your anxiety and stress. Go out for a walk. Exercise. Focus on a goal. Take care ❤
I'M going on a year. I have the high pitched sound , 25/8 ALL THE TIME. ONLY relief is noise therapy with headphones..
Mine is kind of like first guy, Jeff and Rochelle overlapping with different levels in each ear. Sometimes it changes a bit, sometimes I get more of a start stop chime sound in one ear and if I hold my nose and push air in my ears, it levels out to a more constant noise for a while. I've had these sounds since I can remember, no obvious cause but had some ear infections as a kid.
but how loud is it ? because if you turn down the voice it's gets more like the normal or natural amount of hissing that normal people here when it's gets silent
How did they record their tinnitus i have one can anyone help?
tinnitus can't be recorded with a microphone since it's all within your head, so these sound effects are just created with audio software.
glad to see there are so many here who have this issue other than myself. I've never been diagnosed but I've had what the 3rd girl sounds like for many years and it's gotten worse recently, more prominent in my left ear, right ear is a bit quieter. I only hear it mainly in a quiet room, if the tv is playing I only notice it if I think about it but once the room gets quiet it's there. Annoying.
U should visit the doc bruh..
Out of no where I hear a loud ringing in ears. It's there for about a minute or so and then it's gone. Is that Tinnitus?
RejectChannelIUseForCommenting
Nope. That's normal.
That's called transient tinnitus. People normally experience in life. People with tinnitus tend to experience it more often.
tinnitus is exactly that, only it stays for weeks, months, years, or forever
Alfr, do you have a feeling of deafness while that happens?
Alfr, does it feel like you had something stuck in your ear(s) while it happens?
OMG when i herd the 2nd 1 think was Tom that's me for the last few yrs , it's that bad can hardly concentrate on what my family have to say around me , but i do think is down to a certain medication i am on for nerve pain Gabapentin also happened after bad sinus and ear infection , whicj is also a side affect of this medication ,mybe not for all but for me really dont understand ppl how say they find this soothing ??????? wish was sooth for me and most other ppl would LOVE to feel it soothing
I'm glad mine isn't at such a high frequency
I have no idea if I have it, I hear sort of a short ocean wave repeated sound. But goes away when I hear something, when I don't hear anything i start hearing this. Do I have it? I'm scared.
Thanks for this guys. This is going on my fb page, just so people know I'm not exaggerating and also just how shit it is! Of course when it hits my tone, i couldn't hear my own! x
I'm a professional Pyrotechnician, so as you can imagine, I suffer from Tinnitus. 0:35 is what my Tinnitus sounds like.
I have had tinnitus for 2 years now loll I am 26. as I am, hearing it right now it's a bit louder since I am, drinking loll. I am, so use to it that the sound does that really bother me anymore. I sleep with my air conditioning on it doesn't mask the sound but gives me another background noise that distract myself from the sound. I think I can handle it better than others, as far as I am concerned I won the battle against tinnitus because I don't let it bother me,
I have the same, but only at night when it is completly silent. It started suddenly yesterday. Omg it will stay with me to the end of life (same sound like in this video). Im going mad, cus i haveenough problems in my life.
Have tanitus since im a kid. it sounds for me as a vibrating high pitch sound. I only; hear it when theres no sound around me.
mine sounds like when u turn off an old TV. that static sound
@@nyyyankee yeah exactly but i dont think its a tinnitus. because if i think like 'oh shit this a problem' than it s get worse. I think like this is the sound of silence and keep my brain busy.
Mind over matter....thank god almighty this is the least of our problems
Occasionally when I listen to music rather loud in my headphones I get a ringing noise for about 2 minutes, but it always go away. Is that a problem, is that tinnitus?
Same, execpt i won't be listening to anything. i can be a quiet room and i'll get the noise for about 2 secounds.
Be careful with headphones. It might not happen soon, but if you keep listening to your headphones loudly then you will get to a point where the ringing noise could become permanent. Ear damage is cumulative and irreversible.
Dylan Baldwin stop🙏
question thoe it's same sound when a spirit / ghost visits. and it happened exact moment when family died but so much louder then got phonecall in seconds after it. it's the [2nd one] i get most time so how do you know if it spirital or if its tinnitus? because it's exacly same. my hearing 100 percent good. and iam not old.
I hear you Zachary
my tinnitus feels like as if a level 50 butterfree is throwing psybeam at me
Jeff's sound is so much like mine that I thought the sound in the video gave out
my Tinnitus is maddening. I here multiple tones some very low, some piercingly high like in the video.. constantly going all at once. It even warbles together. Now, ever since I moved into my new house, I hear a very low rumble like a generator or motor running, mixed in with sound of 10-15 second grade children blowing all different, continuous notes on a musical recorder. Ugh.. I've tried smashing my head in the wall to make it stop, but that hurts and it doesn't work. :( I pray for silence...just give me silence..
How are you doing now?
Tinitus the ,,friend,,that never leaves you...sometimes its boring...but thats that...
Welcome to the club guys😩
My name is ******* and this is my tinnitus, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Mine sounds like 4th but luckily it is not so loud.
Thank you very much, man ! ))
Jeff........I feel your pain. I mean I hear it. :) All my life, all the time. I wouldn't know any other way.
Mine comes in and out, but within the last year its been bugging me more. I hear a few different pitches from time to time, catching me off gaurd when it changes. Most of the time it does noit bother me, but it will come up in complete silence, when im under stress, or when ive worked too hard. There is a constant whistle in my ears, it feels as though it bounces around in my head and behind my eyes, sometimes ill have what i refer to as a tinnitus attack where its the only thing i can hear or focus on, the backround whistle become very large and very scary. It puts me out of commission for about 30 seconds max. Those dont happen very often and luckly im surrounded by people who will support me through it. What i do to reset my ears is listen to a low droning sound. It feels like it cancels it out and i can go on with my day. Just recently, i learned that this ails others and is an actual problem. It makes me comfortable that there are others that understand my pain
I truly don't know if i have tinnitus or if a bug is in my ear 24 hours a day.
Wow, some of these must be really hard to live with, I have 0:20 but slightly quieter, I feel lucky(so far) that it's not that noticeable with ambient sound but it can get annoying when in a quiet place.
My tinnitus sounds just like Zachary's. I have no idea what silence is, I thought this is what the world sounded like. I'm 42 and that's a damn shame I've suffered all this time. Another weird thing about my ears...I've never produced "real" ear wax.
May God help us all.
i have had tinnitus for all my life, but i don't think it's tinnitus. who else hears it in complete silence when they are going to bed?
Mine like like that to I wish it will go away 😢
I couldn't hear most of these, because I can't hear high noises. I also regularly get tinnitus which can stay for a week up to a month. I am only 20. I never go to a parties, concerts or even movies without earplugs, my tinnitus appears from out of nowhere, it has nothing to do with hearing loud sounds, sometimes I just wake up with tinnitus.
Pituzer Sameee
Pituzer, are you stressed in your life? That could also be a reason for temporr tinnitus...
i have a constent ringing in the backround, thought it was normal until i talked about it with my friends.
i was born with this , i mostly relate to 'sue' basicly exactly the same (sleeping with a ventilator almost 6years now the constant sound of it masks my tinitus) seems to do the trick..
I have all but 1 of these. Both ears multitudes of noises nonstop 10 years. Concentrating can be impossible at times. I sometimes just cry. My friends/family know I hear phone conversations better in my car on Bluetooth. I leave tv on basically 24/7. Or to sleep I often play albums of moving water on my cellphone. TH-cam raining videos are calming white noise for sleeping - some are black screened.
What’s sad is hearing loss. No cure. Unknown causes. Bunch of fake cures and treatments here TH-cam. At least I’m not alone.
My tinnitus matches Sue's exactly. Is there any name/classification for it?
My name is heff
Brandon Sutherland hi heff
But it says your name is Brandon Sutherland... Liar!
HalloweenFanatic OMG HE'S A LIAR
For me, it resembles the sound of a truck passing by in a distant highway.
