Thank you for this. I’m a musician too and developed tinnitus in 2014 when I was 20, went mad with it, then got earplugs and white noise generators to help me habituate. Four months later I’d habituated completely. I kept gigging with my earplugs, and even on quiet nights my tinnitus didn’t bother me. Currently, I’m going through a rough patch, my first in six years really. It hasn’t gotten worse, I’ve just become fixated on it and sleeping has been difficult, but I know it’ll get better. It’s just a phase, it hasn’t ruined my life so far, and it won’t. I can keep it under control and prevent it worsening. Thanks for sharing your story!
Try to remember it will get better with time . Sounds like you already know this 👍 if you are interested I have a new TH-cam channel dedicated just to tinnitus. Called Help My Tinnitus. 👍
@@jackrubinacci_official hi mate if it gets better over time then what about speeding the process up and trying tinnitus desensitisation therapy wirh a programmed device so over time your tinnitus symptoms will be more less aware of it a 6 months to treatment to put the tinnitus willl fade background so you be less noticeable with your symptoms treatment like this have been known to be affective at the tinnitus clinic in uk
@@Mark-th6hq hello. I’ve no experience with these devices so can’t comment on them . I do know of their existence. Treatments in general seem to improving which is fantastic news
@@jackrubinacci_official hi mate well tinnitus is not a sound its overactive miss fires in the brain treatments can be affective to treat tinnitus as treatments do improve there device but TDT as had spectacular results iv read all stories and yes your right you can get your quality of life back as mark williams told me as your tinnitus gets better your spikes get better away but it does take time as he ses
Very good advice here. I’ve had tinnitus since September 2020 and went through a very dark 6 months. Although I still hear it all the time I no longer have an emotional reaction to it. Habituation does happen but you have to work at it a bit.
Thank you for this video! I am a singer from Romania with Tinitus and cookie bite hearing loss (the middle range is very damaged) and I have been living with this for 4 years now. I use earplugs and in-ear monitoring during events, trying to protect my hearing as much as I can in order to not damage even more, but daaaamnnn, sometimes is so hard and stressful. A positive mindset will definitely help us. I have a routine in the evening, I read a lot and play instrumental music in the background plus melatonine to help me prepare for a good night sleep. And yes, you are right, as long as we shift the attention from T, we can go on living a decent life. Thank u again for filming this. Hugs from Bucharest, Romania, Europe.
With one in five U.S. teens currently experiencing permanent hearing loss from noise by the age of 19, it's critical that we get the word out about tinnitus and other types of preventable hearing damage. Thank you for your efforts to reach out and help others learn the importance of protecting their hearing.
I have -10, -12 and -15 moulded earplugs + one in my car. and another thing to say is, every few years you need to re-do the moulds as the material deteriorates so they have a limited shelf life - but it's THE best thing you can do for your ears
I am also a musician, and I started to experience tenatis a while back. I looked for help; I started to wear earplugs; I had my ears tested; and I took longer breaks. All of these things hep, but my teñiría did not go away completely until I took a break for good. I am talking about to months at least. Now I take it seriously in every situation. I do t live off music. This is why I was able to take a good break. Anyway, if you can’t take a long break, listen to brown noise, and wear earplugs every time you are expose to loud noises.
The second Pfizer jab gave me temporary tinnitus in left ear. I was terrified. Can’t hear it now thanks god. But people need to protect ears they were not made to be exposed to loud sounds or any kind of trauma.
@@jackrubinacci_official Heyy I have seen so many videos who are suffering from this problem. You are the first one who I felt gave the best advice. Your words are encouraging. I wish you best luck :) N thank you :)
My tinnitus started around 2014. The worst thing about it is that it made me very irritable, out of focus and sensitive to disruptive sounds (chairs dragging, doors slamming, dish washing, loud talking) to the point of being obsessed with wanting silence and progressively distancing myself from people. But as i get into quieter environments, the more present tinnitus becomes because there's no ambient sounds/noises to distract me. Things that help me: using headphones without music or very low volume music. Reducing stimulants like coffee. Reducing sugar. Using earplugs when i go to sleep. Taking melatonin pills once in a while to help sleeping deeply without interruptions. Exercise! I do running and it helps with stress, getting in shape and getting tired which makes me fall asleep much faster.
Hello. yes I understand every thing you have said here. It’s a challenge but exercise and keeping a strong frame of mind like you are is absolutely the best thing to do . 👍
Mine started in 2012 and I can totally relate to what you are describing. However, when I was diagnosed with tinnitus I wore ear plugs a lot to block out the hyperacusis. My audiologist told me not to do that because my ears would get too used to the quiet which actually makes the tinnitus and hyperacusis worse! I took her advice and it really helped my brain adjust to louder noises, although I still wear ear plugs in truly loud environments like crowds and concerts, etc.
Wastelander…ear plugs when you go to sleep? How does that work? I need outside noise to take my tinnitus less noticeable so I can sleep soundly. Ear plugs make it so much louder. Very curious
@@Andrew-pp2ql well, in my case if i hear too much noise at night i just can't sleep due to ear irritation. I use earplugs to block the excessive noise and promote a quiet environment calming the ear overstimulation, making the tinnitus sort of "go away". But during the day i also need ambient noise to mask tinnitus.
Thanks dude, really needed this today while currently going through an episode of tinnitus getting worse. 31 and had it since I was 25. Being a music producer I can't explain how much it helps to see other musicians in the same boat having overcome the challenges and anxiety it brings on. Thanks for the tips, particular with recording. Big love ❤️
Hello 👋 really glad the video was of use, yes I know what mean about seeing other musicians with t. It’s helped me too. I’ve been doing a lot of interviews lately that you might find of use. Check out Ben Thompson interview I did. Also a music podcast called WCA. Another good interview I did. Best of luck 🤞
I'm a musician and I just acquired tinnitus. It wasnt from loud noise with shows but IDK where it came from. But, Its minor and comes and goes but I dont want it to get worse. It seems to bother me most when I sleep. So, when it first started I was drinking crazy amounts of booze to relax and to just get on. But, I like to see people out there that give supportive messages. This helped a lot.
Hello David . Glad the video helped a little. As a musician you’d do well to make sure to have at least one set of good ear plugs and another one as a back up . That will reduce your chances of making the T worse on stage . T always gets better with time so stay strong.
Have you heard of Dr Itua who cures tinnitus permanently? He cured my tinnitus effectively with his supplements thanks so much Doc Youtu.be/ibEgU-dFpDE
I agree in principle about your brain filtering it out to some extent. That said, it never really goes away, especially when I am in a quiet/peaceful environment. Then it is like a massive amount of cicadas are buzzing. The same is true when I go to sleep many nights, as it is difficult to ignore. I suspect that is part of the reason I cannot get a restful sleep most nights.
People close to me know this is something I've dealt with in my life, and most people it seems have had a brush with something resembling tinnitus, but recently I had a friend come to me for some advice and I could tell right away that he was really in the thick of it. The absolutely very first thing that I thought of was to send him here! Heh, I know it's maybe a little niche but this is one of the best vids on the internet. Thanks Jack you helped get me out of a tough spot once and so I'm glad to pass it along! And to whoever needs to hear it: You're going to get on with your life... while the tinnitus will last its ability to get a hold of your attention definitely will not and it's going to be you one day giving out the advice on how to deal with it! I promise!
Hi. Thanks so much for the kind message and I really hope your friend gets back to a better place with their T. If this video helped you im really so glad . Means a lot to me to hear that . I have a new channel dedicated to tinnitus now. I’m making a lot of new content for it . Link in the description box of this video. Thank you again . Jack
omg same i have tinnitus and im 16 and i really want to pursue a career in music, I am getting checked by a doctor soon. I am very scared tho, should i follow my this career path or choose a different one?i dont know what to do
Jack: Your honest, calm, and encouraging advice is awesome. There's a lot of technical tinnitus info online and it's helpful, but your approach is so natural and easy to absorb. Especially as it applies to musicians. Thanks! 🎷🎶👍
I just started Is developing mild tinnitus After a chronic ear infection, I am a musician, organ/keys I play organ for a church, have a studio full equipment including a hammond organ w/ a Lezlie so you can imagine how loud that gets, musician to musician thank you for this great advice! My tinnitus comes and gos, does not bother me enough to cause sleep issues so far thank God! but after hearing your strong words of advice I'm definitely going to invest in ear plugs!!! So hopefully to keep my tinnitus under control!! Thanks again!!!
34, been suffering from it since i'm 27. It came in my life just at the worse moment, when my bass playing was getting good and found a band that would want me to get in. Stopped everything, got really anxious for months, because It was hurting also. For months, every little sounds hurted me. Went into isolation, got depressed... It was an atrocious thing. Because, I was not only playing music, but also working in the industry. So loud volume was always too close, too near.Then I made some changes in my life. Got some molded musician earplugs, cut the Rock band practices (one of the hardest moment in my life), and just started to be smart about it. Slowly going back to shows, not getting right beside the speakers. Sometimes having this anti-sound helmet drummers or firearm practicionners use. Also slowly got back into music, but playing electronical or acoustic, so I could have more control over volume. My life and my career (professionel videographer in the music industry) didnt stop, but it did take a suckerpunch. Maybe I could have been a professionnal musician if I could have prevented it to happen. But anyway, it does really get better if you care about it. And for a long time I got back my normal life until last week! I just abused myself and my health. Went to 4 shows in six day, got smashed (alcool dont help), drank a lot of coffe( were working multiple days in a row, and caffeine doesnt help either). I just ducking regret it... But, like he says, yeah, it well get better. Until then, I have to back down shows and everything andjust get use to this new noise floor.
Dr Ogbebor herbal centre on TH-cam his medicine for tinnitus is amazing, just two weeks and tinnitus was gone , I was so surprised when I heard ,John Mayer , Eric Clapton and many other musicians have used His herbal medicine for their tinnitus also .
Jack, Thank You So Much ! I've Had Tinnitus left Ear Since Early December 2021 .85% Hearing loss , High Pitch Jet Engine loud Noise. First 3 Weeks Non Stop Agony ! Then On And Off Different Days Of Spikes levels . Been To Primary Dr , ENT ,Audiologist ,Next MRI Normal .Trying to get our brain to habituate is a tough time, but we will win ! Best Regards, Pete.
Thank you for you words of support. I'm 26 just getting serious with music as my path in life and have had tinnitus since last year. I feel hopeless at times but your story and tips gives me hope to continue with music.
Hello Thaddeus. Its important to remember that T goes up and then goes down again. So stay strong and don't give up your passion. Just try to be really proactive about protecting your ears. I did an interview on a very cool podcast this week that talks about this subject. You might benefit from listening to it. Its free to listen. Here is the link. www.workingclassaudio.com/wca-334-with-jack-rubinacci/
Yes he's right!! Except it and keep. On living you can do it. I've had tinnitus now 10 years buzzing in my head 24-7 when it gets quite i do enjoy it. Live your life to the fullest Theres life after tinnitus God bless Have a great Day!!
Thanks so much for this man, this video has helped me so much. I'm 21 and my tinnitus is already unbearably loud and I'm wanting to pursue a career in music. I'm having a real serious existential crisis at the moment but your video is giving me strength and inspiration.

Thanks so much. My daughter developed tinnitus after getting Covid! It’s been over a year. I’ll pass this video on to her ASAP! You’re a kind guy to post this! You’re awesome!!!!
Thank you Jane . Wishing your daughter the best of luck 👍. If she has any questions please let her know she is more than welcome to ask them here . Jack
@@jackrubinacci_official anther thing tinnitus is not a sound it is overactive miss fires in the brain sound therapy challenge these miss fires in brain but as I've been told its not a quick fix getting the right frequency level of your tinnitus on there computer then start the treatment 6 hours a day for 6 months iv read about all the stories people have really bad tinnitus symptoms and over time with treatment there had spectacular changes to there symptoms and grate results but treatment like this cost £2000 you can pay mouthy it one good way of treating tinnitus
Jack, thank you so much for this. I’m also a musician, 6 months into severe tinnitus and it’s getting me down. Thanks to videos like this I get great comfort, and sleep better knowing that someday I’ll accept it. I can’t wait to do my own tinnitus success story video but I’m a long way off at the moment. I’m hoping it’s pandemic related and getting back to normal will relieve some stress and help with the tinnitus. Thanks again
Thank you Jack! As a musician, I can relate to everything that you said and I found your advice both helpful and inspirational. You probably address this in your other videos, but the only thing I might add is that learning more about one’s health and diet is very helpful - at least for me it is. Cutting back on caffeine, sugar and alcohol is, I think, essential - if it’s good for the body, it’s good for dealing with a spike. Lower the stress and don’t obsess is my mantra. So please do continue to make these wonderful videos and again, thank you!
Hello Ian. Thank you for the kind comment. Yes I do address some of the things you mention in a video called 6 daily rituals. I also talk about it in my T books mentioning that feeling good in the body makes me feel stronger to deal with T. Thanks again and happy new year
Hi Jack. Thanks for this video. I know you from the Studio Rats and did not suspect you had Tinnitus ! I play music for decades and I have developed Tinnitus recently. I have put my ears at rest and totally stopped amplified music for a few weeks already. In order not to lose my playing skills, I still exercise everyday, but silently, without plugging my instruments into an amplifier. Last week, I tried to plug in again at very low level, about 60 db, with the cabinet on the floor and the speaker not aimed at my head. I played for a few minutes and when I stopped, the ringing in my ears was louder. I rested again for a week, the ringing having dropped significantly, I made the same experiment today, that lead to the same results; even by playing at a low volume for just a few minutes, the ringing got significantly higher. This is all very discouraging, as I understand that the ringing won’t disappear nor diminish. I can accept the idea of having a constant noise and deal with it, but it’s hard for me to admit that I won’t eventually be able to play electric again. What about you: do you still play/monitor/mix with amplified sounds and if so, does it increase the ringing noise thereafter ? Do the earplugs diminish the perception of the music you listen to ? Cheers from France, Rene
Hey, thanks, Jack, for the encouragement. I'm 58 and the tinnitus started a couple months ago, I know not why. My life had become so much better. A good marriage, plenty of money and now a sound like locusts in a tree 24/7.
Hello Jeffrey. Sorry to hear that you are going through this. Its important to remember that with time your brain will adapt and accommodate for the new sound. Just takes a little time. I have a book on Amazon with lots of useful tools in that might help. Its called Overcoming Tinnitus. Jack
Thank you, Jack, for your encouraging words. My tinnitus, which till 3 days ago was an intermittent thing, suddenly became a 24-hour ringing. I was scared and felt a bit lost. I have had vertigo, and am also a quadruple heart bypass patient (2016). Lots of things have been going through my mind the last 3 days, and I've tried a few things so far. None has worked. I am almost at the point of despair, having tried to live a healthy life of meditation and exercise, and clean diet. To get something like tinnitus is quite discouraging. I am trying to hold back myself from falling into depression. Your video and what you say in it are a wake-up call to me - to not let it get me down, and to continue to live life. I will continue to look for ways to help lighten the effects of tinnitus, but won't let it get me down again. Thank you for your words of encouragement. I am glad I found your video. Take care. Thanks, again.
Hello Andrew. Thank you for the comment. I’m sorry you been having some struggles with your ears. I know it can be difficult but it does slowly getting better and better in so much as your mind slowly adapts. That’s how it’s been for me. It takes time but it does get better. Stay strong and Sending the very best of wishes. 👍
I don’t know why more musicians/producers with knowledge if tinnitus don’t talk about this topic, I’ve develop tinnitus last year as well, and that because I didn’t know the dangers of listening to loud music can cause this permanent disorder. Thanks for the advise. I got me some earplugs months ago and now ima get me another pair. I’m not sure if I will keep producing music though. All the best everyone let’s all stay strong 🙏🏾
Hello yes I agree. More information needs to be shared with young musicians about the dangers of loud music over long periods of time. Thanks for the comment and Stay strong
Thanks for sharing Jack. I've had tinnitus for two years. I've learned all the things you mentioned. I just wanted to see what a real Pro had to say. I would like to add I wear off the peg music earplugs from Bollsen. Cheap and effective. Plus, I use Shokz bone conduction headphones as they are open ear. Beneficial in lots of ways, including music practice at home. Keep the volume down below 75%. Tinnitus has kind of propelled me into music practice. I keep busy. Keep the faith people. It does get better. ✊⭐
Thank you for your comment. I have not tried bone conduction headphones yet. In my list of things to try. And yes , keeping busy is a good thing. Sending best wishes 👋
my tinnitus started in dec and my anxiety went through the roof. my family made it seem like i was overdoing it. i went to my dr and he sent me to an ent which said its not due to losing hearing so there is nothing for him to do. at that point i felt helpless. i wonder how i can live wt it. i went back to my dr and he was no help. then i we to an old family dr and he prescribed drugs which i didnt take. i started to use youtube masking sounds which gave me peace. after 1-2 months my tinnitus went down to 10% of what it was. my brain was starting to reduce the sound. remember tinnitus is yr brain telling u abt a new noise after a while it started to die down. yr body makes many many noises but yr brain know to mute it since it knows what it is. tinnitus is yr brain temporarily tell u abt a new noise then it dies it down. im around 5% tinnitus now and i dont notice it or hear it until i go to bed. and only if i press my ear to the pillow. before sleeping was difficult. the masking videos saved me. reduced my anxiety. suicidal thoughts which i had never had. the despair went away. my life is back to normal
exactly 3 weeks ago, when u were writing this comment, I woke up in morning and noticed disturbing ringing sound in both ears... was completely aghast, when I went to doc and realised tht dont have a solution... living with this non stop noise for 24×7 was traumatizing... every emotion or thought which I believed I can never hve came to my mind in these three weeks... still trying to figure out a solution.... its videos like these n comment like urs, made me realise I m not alone and ppl sailed their way through... it gives me hope and confidence... hope medical and science finds a solution soon..
@@Andrew-pp2ql It will with time so don’t despair. once its down to 10% or lower then it just becomes unnoticeable most if the day or days. u will be fine. just stay positive and use the masking videos in youtube to gt a good night sleep. also a fan helps alot.
@@alliberges thanks for the reply….appreciated. During daytime it’s tolerable…at night it sucks. However, using a fan and some masking noises does allow me to sleep fine. Overall, my life quality has not taken too much of a hit so very fortunate…but it still is annoying. Hoping as you said it fades with time. Take care
Bro also same thing i had tinnitus really low i was stressing about that about 2 months i went to another country… and whole thing started my anxiety i am depressed from injury and after a session of gym i came home an man i was like i hear my T in my right ear i started to stressin about that my sleep is so f-ucked up and i thing every time i focus on it its getting worse… for two years lifting weights heavy weights also loud music but only bow when am anxious and stressed out i came more harsh on me…
Great video! I haven’t told any of my musician fellows about my T and hyoeracussis. Some just thinks I’m weirdo using this earbuds every time I hear little bit of loud sounds. Also helps keeping it optimistic. I really know someday it will get better and go away. No doubt about it. And my brain relaxes. Negativity and obsessing about it is not good.
Man thanks for the video, I couldn't relate more, same happened to me, I didn't pay much attention to the first signals of tinnitus as a musician I went to a gig with no protection and my tinnitus got really worse, that was the biggest mistake of all my life.
Brother google “TOT3 by liam boehm” follow his yt and ig.. he helps a lot of people to silence tinnitus. He helped me, I don’t hear mine much and I went from ending my life to living a healthy guy. so TH-cam and ig him.. he’s gonna help you a lot to silence it.
Thanks Jack.. I’m going through a pretty bad bout currently. And I play music for a living. I thought of hanging it up and moving on to a different profession but I’m not going to let it beat me. I just currently purchased high end in ear monitors and will be playing my gigs at a much lower volume than before. I must tell you, for a bit I really thought I was going nuts and didn’t think I could go on. Watching your video and seeing all of the comments from others suffering brought me great comfort. Be well my friend. And again. Thanks you! Hopefully the day will come where there is a cure. 🙏🙏 Ed
before watching the video it was better for me, now it is worse. What you say is true. „Tinitus, tinnitus… There is some spike someday and if we focus on it it stays“
Great video. Fellow musician here. I’ve had tinnitus for almost 20 years and it can be a very wild ride. Great advice here. I cannot stress enough, get those earplugs out at gigs folks.
I've had tinnitus for almost 4 years and your video has the best advice I heard so far. For me the first couple of months were terrible. I couldn't watch movies, all those quiet parts drove me nuts. And I've been an obsessive music collector for years, hundreds of cds in boxes everywhere. As a child I'd disappear into our lounge where the record player was, and spend hours just listening to music. Well, there are periods I don't notice it... the majority of time really. But I still get spikes occasionally. I still listen to music, but only once and awhile which is kind of sad. It's not that I can't hear it well, but my anxiety and tinnitus go up when I put a favorite cd on. Just need to relax I guess.
Thanks for this Jack. My case is mild, but I did develop some tinnitus from getting knocked in the head too many times at kickboxing. It's nice to know that other from different backgrounds know what my problem is like and have gotten through it.
Thank you. Glad the video was of use . I have a new channel dedicated to tinnitus called help my tinnitus with other videos that might also be of use . Sending best wishes
First got mine when i was about 20. It was hard in the beginning but now 12 years later i became so normal i forgot about it. Unfortunately i got my second Covid round and it became a problem again. Now i have to go through that process again...
I was fool in my youth. Loud heavy metal concerts, music, and, as a guitar player, practice sessions. There's no going back, but I should have worn earplugs from the start. Now, I don't leave home without them. Some of use just have to learn the hard way.
Hello Alexander. I’m sorry you have this. It is quite common to get T at an early age. I was 27. The important thing to remember is that it eases up with time. 👍
Trust Jack - you will be able to ignor it - hang in there - i didn't think so, but after a while of using some masking - liek fans and stuff - i've gradually stopped thinking about it. may God heal you. m
Thank you so much ..I’ve been experiencing mild tinnitus too playing harmonica and I swear I’m not even gonna play until I get those freaking earplugs I’m not gonna keep playing through it !!!! Thank you for the advice when you said don’t obsess it juts made me fell better (:
Okay I’ll check It out ! Do you Hve any suggestions on which earplugs to buy ? I want to still hear the music well …. There’s so much information on which ones to get and which not to get ?! I was looking at the eargasm or earos but people are claiming they work or don’t work ?! I’m confused would love your that on that ?
Thank you so much for the work that you are doing to help myself and others with tinnitus. You are a great and informative speaker and very importantly you have a calm and soft voice!
Really helpful and great advice ive had tinnitus for 4, month's now at first I found it very hard to deal with but I have found the only way to deal with it is to except it coz it is not going to go away .if u are new to tinnitus one of the hardest things to do is sleep at night get some pillow speakers and listen to calming music I found it really helpful I was living on 4 hours sleep a night before I tried these if your not sleeping well u will stress more and your T will get louder good luck
Hi Andy. You have absolutely the right attitude. Being proactive and learning to accept, rather than fight your tinnitus is absolutely the right attitude. Best of luck
First got mine when i was about 20 after a Chris Holmes concert. It was hard in the beginning but now 9 years later i became so normal i forgot about it. Unfortunately i got another tinnitus after 2 death metal concert and it became a problem again. Now i have to go through that process again...

I do running and it helps with stress, getting in shape and getting tired which makes me fall asleep much faster.
Hello. yes I understand every thing you have said here. It’s a challenge but exercise and keeping a strong frame of mind like you are is absolutely the best thing to do . 👍
Mine started around 2ó14 and it have been hard
Mine started in 2012 and I can totally relate to what you are describing. However, when I was diagnosed with tinnitus I wore ear plugs a lot to block out the hyperacusis. My audiologist told me not to do that because my ears would get too used to the quiet which actually makes the tinnitus and hyperacusis worse! I took her advice and it really helped my brain adjust to louder noises, although I still wear ear plugs in truly loud environments like crowds and concerts, etc.
Wastelander…ear plugs when you go to sleep? How does that work? I need outside noise to take my tinnitus less noticeable so I can sleep soundly. Ear plugs make it so much louder. Very curious
@@Andrew-pp2ql well, in my case if i hear too much noise at night i just can't sleep due to ear irritation. I use earplugs to block the excessive noise and promote a quiet environment calming the ear overstimulation, making the tinnitus sort of "go away". But during the day i also need ambient noise to mask tinnitus.
Thanks dude, really needed this today while currently going through an episode of tinnitus getting worse. 31 and had it since I was 25. Being a music producer I can't explain how much it helps to see other musicians in the same boat having overcome the challenges and anxiety it brings on. Thanks for the tips, particular with recording. Big love ❤️
Hello 👋 really glad the video was of use, yes I know what mean about seeing other musicians with t. It’s helped me too. I’ve been doing a lot of interviews lately that you might find of use. Check out Ben Thompson interview I did. Also a music podcast called WCA. Another good interview I did. Best of luck 🤞
I'm a musician and I just acquired tinnitus. It wasnt from loud noise with shows but IDK where it came from. But, Its minor and comes and goes but I dont want it to get worse. It seems to bother me most when I sleep. So, when it first started I was drinking crazy amounts of booze to relax and to just get on. But, I like to see people out there that give supportive messages. This helped a lot.
Hello David . Glad the video helped a little. As a musician you’d do well to make sure to have at least one set of good ear plugs and another one as a back up . That will reduce your chances of making the T worse on stage . T always gets better with time so stay strong.
Have you heard of Dr Itua who cures tinnitus permanently? He cured my tinnitus effectively with his supplements thanks so much Doc

I started fasting and exercising cold showers my tinnitus went down from a 8 to a 3.
what kind of fasting are you doing exactly? Thank you!
I agree in principle about your brain filtering it out to some extent. That said, it never really goes away, especially when I am in a quiet/peaceful environment. Then it is like a massive amount of cicadas are buzzing. The same is true when I go to sleep many nights, as it is difficult to ignore. I suspect that is part of the reason I cannot get a restful sleep most nights.
People close to me know this is something I've dealt with in my life, and most people it seems have had a brush with something resembling tinnitus, but recently I had a friend come to me for some advice and I could tell right away that he was really in the thick of it. The absolutely very first thing that I thought of was to send him here! Heh, I know it's maybe a little niche but this is one of the best vids on the internet. Thanks Jack you helped get me out of a tough spot once and so I'm glad to pass it along! And to whoever needs to hear it: You're going to get on with your life... while the tinnitus will last its ability to get a hold of your attention definitely will not and it's going to be you one day giving out the advice on how to deal with it! I promise!
Hi. Thanks so much for the kind message and I really hope your friend gets back to a better place with their T. If this video helped you im really so glad . Means a lot to me to hear that . I have a new channel dedicated to tinnitus now. I’m making a lot of new content for it . Link in the description box of this video. Thank you again . Jack
Great video man :) I’ve had tinnitus since I was 16 and I’ve had a lot of anxiety about pursing a career in music , This helped!
Glad it helped man . Best of luck with your music 👍👍

Hello Vassilis. Really glad this video was of help to you .

Thank You man .. words of hope for all the musicians whit tinitus! I AM a sax player ando i don t want to stop couse T
I just started Is developing mild tinnitus After a chronic ear infection, I am a musician, organ/keys I play organ for a church, have a studio full equipment including a hammond organ w/ a Lezlie so you can imagine how loud that gets, musician to musician thank you for this great advice! My tinnitus comes and gos, does not bother me enough to cause sleep issues so far thank God! but after hearing your strong words of advice I'm definitely going to invest in ear plugs!!! So hopefully to keep my tinnitus under control!! Thanks again!!!
Hello 👋 thank you. Glad the video was of use. Yes those Leslie’s can be loud so good idea to use some ear protection. Best of luck 🤞
Thanks Jack, some great insights for musicians with tinnitus.
🙏🙏🙏
I recently found this app and I’m glad to see it mentioned here.
34, been suffering from it since i'm 27. It came in my life just at the worse moment, when my bass playing was getting good and found a band that would want me to get in. Stopped everything, got really anxious for months, because It was hurting also. For months, every little sounds hurted me. Went into isolation, got depressed... It was an atrocious thing. Because, I was not only playing music, but also working in the industry. So loud volume was always too close, too near.Then I made some changes in my life. Got some molded musician earplugs, cut the Rock band practices (one of the hardest moment in my life), and just started to be smart about it. Slowly going back to shows, not getting right beside the speakers. Sometimes having this anti-sound helmet drummers or firearm practicionners use. Also slowly got back into music, but playing electronical or acoustic, so I could have more control over volume.
My life and my career (professionel videographer in the music industry) didnt stop, but it did take a suckerpunch. Maybe I could have been a professionnal musician if I could have prevented it to happen.
But anyway, it does really get better if you care about it. And for a long time I got back my normal life until last week! I just abused myself and my health. Went to 4 shows in six day, got smashed (alcool dont help), drank a lot of coffe( were working multiple days in a row, and caffeine doesnt help either). I just ducking regret it... But, like he says, yeah, it well get better. Until then, I have to back down shows and everything andjust get use to this new noise floor.
Dr Ogbebor herbal centre on TH-cam his medicine for tinnitus is amazing, just two weeks and tinnitus was gone , I was so surprised when I heard ,John Mayer , Eric Clapton and many other musicians have used His herbal medicine for their tinnitus also .
I do mistakes when i get better, i forget to use earplugs and have setbacks after. Its a huge price to play plus the regreat
Thanks. My experience is similar to yours.
Thank you. Glad the video was of use .
my tinnitus has gotten worse and it has been bothering me so much so lately so I really needed this thank you so much 🙏
Hello Isaias- glad the video was of use- stay strong 💪

Thank you for you words of support. I'm 26 just getting serious with music as my path in life and have had tinnitus since last year. I feel hopeless at times but your story and tips gives me hope to continue with music.
Hello Thaddeus. Its important to remember that T goes up and then goes down again. So stay strong and don't give up your passion. Just try to be really proactive about protecting your ears. I did an interview on a very cool podcast this week that talks about this subject. You might benefit from listening to it. Its free to listen. Here is the link. www.workingclassaudio.com/wca-334-with-jack-rubinacci/
Yes he's right!!
Except it and keep. On living you can do it. I've had tinnitus now 10 years buzzing in my head 24-7 when it gets quite i do enjoy it. Live your life to the fullest
Theres life after tinnitus God bless
Have a great Day!!

THANK YOU!
Thank you , I Will take your advice seriously
Hello Mike. glad you found the video of use .
Thank you for making this video Jack, it's great to hear your positive message. It really helps when dealing with tinnitus, big thanks.
Thanks for watching . Stay strong 👍
Thanks so much. My daughter developed tinnitus after getting Covid! It’s been over a year. I’ll pass this video on to her ASAP! You’re a kind guy to post this! You’re awesome!!!!
Thank you Jane . Wishing your daughter the best of luck 👍. If she has any questions please let her know she is more than welcome to ask them here . Jack
@@jackrubinacci_official anther thing tinnitus is not a sound it is overactive miss fires in the brain sound therapy challenge these miss fires in brain but as I've been told its not a quick fix getting the right frequency level of your tinnitus on there computer then start the treatment 6 hours a day for 6 months iv read about all the stories people have really bad tinnitus symptoms and over time with treatment there had spectacular changes to there symptoms and grate results but treatment like this cost £2000 you can pay mouthy it one good way of treating tinnitus
Thank you for the video! I’ve been wearing safety ear muffs even practicing music at home. It is one of those things that can happen to anyone.
Thank you
Jack, thank you so much for this. I’m also a musician, 6 months into severe tinnitus and it’s getting me down. Thanks to videos like this I get great comfort, and sleep better knowing that someday I’ll accept it. I can’t wait to do my own tinnitus success story video but I’m a long way off at the moment. I’m hoping it’s pandemic related and getting back to normal will relieve some stress and help with the tinnitus. Thanks again
Hello. Really glad this video was of use to you. Thank you for watching.
Thank you Jack! As a musician, I can relate to everything that you said and I found your advice both helpful and inspirational. You probably address this in your other videos, but the only thing I might add is that learning more about one’s health and diet is very helpful - at least for me it is. Cutting back on caffeine, sugar and alcohol is, I think, essential - if it’s good for the body, it’s good for dealing with a spike. Lower the stress and don’t obsess is my mantra.
So please do continue to make these wonderful videos and again, thank you!
Hello Ian. Thank you for the kind comment. Yes I do address some of the things you mention in a video called 6 daily rituals. I also talk about it in my T books mentioning that feeling good in the body makes me feel stronger to deal with T. Thanks again and happy new year
@@jackrubinacci_official - thank you for the kind reply and please keep up the good work 👍🏻😀
Hi Jack. Thanks for this video. I know you from the Studio Rats and did not suspect you had Tinnitus ! I play music for decades and I have developed Tinnitus recently. I have put my ears at rest and totally stopped amplified music for a few weeks already. In order not to lose my playing skills, I still exercise everyday, but silently, without plugging my instruments into an amplifier.
Last week, I tried to plug in again at very low level, about 60 db, with the cabinet on the floor and the speaker not aimed at my head. I played for a few minutes and when I stopped, the ringing in my ears was louder.
I rested again for a week, the ringing having dropped significantly, I made the same experiment today, that lead to the same results; even by playing at a low volume for just a few minutes, the ringing got significantly higher.
This is all very discouraging, as I understand that the ringing won’t disappear nor diminish. I can accept the idea of having a constant noise and deal with it, but it’s hard for me to admit that I won’t eventually be able to play electric again.
What about you: do you still play/monitor/mix with amplified sounds and if so, does it increase the ringing noise thereafter ? Do the earplugs diminish the perception of the music you listen to ?
Cheers from France, Rene
reactive tinnitus. And maybe tinnitus mixed with some level of hyperacusis
For people with Tinnitus try Ginkgo Biloba extracts it helped with my tinnitus, it lowered down at the same time clams me down. It works for me
How long until you began to notice results?
Thank you brother .
Thank you 🙏
The most honest video ever on tinnitus. I have tinnitus the last 25 years from drumming. Everything you said is me. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Thanks for your tips, Jack. I’m not a musician and I’m a few months into this. Hope we get better soon.
Hey Jude. Thanks for the message. The most important thing is to stay strong brother . It will get better. Just give it time
Hey, thanks, Jack, for the encouragement. I'm 58 and the tinnitus started a couple months ago, I know not why. My life had become so much better. A good marriage, plenty of money and now a sound like locusts in a tree 24/7.
Hello Jeffrey. Sorry to hear that you are going through this. Its important to remember that with time your brain will adapt and accommodate for the new sound. Just takes a little time. I have a book on Amazon with lots of useful tools in that might help. Its called Overcoming Tinnitus. Jack
Congratulations my dear ❤❤
Thank you, Jack, for your encouraging words. My tinnitus, which till 3 days ago was an intermittent thing, suddenly became a 24-hour ringing. I was scared and felt a bit lost. I have had vertigo, and am also a quadruple heart bypass patient (2016). Lots of things have been going through my mind the last 3 days, and I've tried a few things so far. None has worked. I am almost at the point of despair, having tried to live a healthy life of meditation and exercise, and clean diet. To get something like tinnitus is quite discouraging. I am trying to hold back myself from falling into depression. Your video and what you say in it are a wake-up call to me - to not let it get me down, and to continue to live life. I will continue to look for ways to help lighten the effects of tinnitus, but won't let it get me down again. Thank you for your words of encouragement. I am glad I found your video. Take care. Thanks, again.
Hello Andrew. Thank you for the comment. I’m sorry you been having some struggles with your ears. I know it can be difficult but it does slowly getting better and better in so much as your mind slowly adapts. That’s how it’s been for me. It takes time but it does get better. Stay strong and Sending the very best of wishes. 👍
How are you now?
Well said brother. This video helped me alot. I appreciate the wise words Jack!
Thank you Jack for this video. This is inspiring. I hope that you continue doing what you love to do!
Thanks man, I have severe tinnitus and a muscian too. I feel your words.
Thank you 🙏. Stay strong
I don’t know why more musicians/producers with knowledge if tinnitus don’t talk about this topic, I’ve develop tinnitus last year as well, and that because I didn’t know the dangers of listening to loud music can cause this permanent disorder. Thanks for the advise. I got me some earplugs months ago and now ima get me another pair. I’m not sure if I will keep producing music though. All the best everyone let’s all stay strong 🙏🏾
Hello yes I agree. More information needs to be shared with young musicians about the dangers of loud music over long periods of time. Thanks for the comment and Stay strong
Jack thank you - amazing story and tips for those of us who suffer from tinnitus thx for sharing
Thank you 🙏
thank you
Thanks for sharing Jack. I've had tinnitus for two years. I've learned all the things you mentioned. I just wanted to see what a real Pro had to say. I would like to add I wear off the peg music earplugs from Bollsen. Cheap and effective. Plus, I use Shokz bone conduction headphones as they are open ear. Beneficial in lots of ways, including music practice at home. Keep the volume down below 75%. Tinnitus has kind of propelled me into music practice. I keep busy. Keep the faith people. It does get better. ✊⭐
Thank you for your comment. I have not tried bone conduction headphones yet. In my list of things to try. And yes , keeping busy is a good thing. Sending best wishes 👋
Thank you so much.
4/10/18 for me. The day tinnitus took away so much. Thank you for sharing. I REALLY needed this.
Thank you . Really glad the video was of use .
my tinnitus started in dec and my anxiety went through the roof. my family made it seem like i was overdoing it. i went to my dr and he sent me to an ent which said its not due to losing hearing so there is nothing for him to do. at that point i felt helpless. i wonder how i can live wt it. i went back to my dr and he was no help. then i we to an old family dr and he prescribed drugs which i didnt take. i started to use youtube masking sounds which gave me peace. after 1-2 months my tinnitus went down to 10% of what it was. my brain was starting to reduce the sound. remember tinnitus is yr brain telling u abt a new noise after a while it started to die down. yr body makes many many noises but yr brain know to mute it since it knows what it is. tinnitus is yr brain temporarily tell u abt a new noise then it dies it down. im around 5% tinnitus now and i dont notice it or hear it until i go to bed. and only if i press my ear to the pillow. before sleeping was difficult. the masking videos saved me. reduced my anxiety. suicidal thoughts which i had never had. the despair went away. my life is back to normal
exactly 3 weeks ago, when u were writing this comment, I woke up in morning and noticed disturbing ringing sound in both ears... was completely aghast, when I went to doc and realised tht dont have a solution... living with this non stop noise for 24×7 was traumatizing... every emotion or thought which I believed I can never hve came to my mind in these three weeks... still trying to figure out a solution.... its videos like these n comment like urs, made me realise I m not alone and ppl sailed their way through... it gives me hope and confidence... hope medical and science finds a solution soon..
Thanks for sharing…what I’m hoping for overtime it fades as it becomes so normal to hear
@@Andrew-pp2ql It will with time so don’t despair. once its down to 10% or lower then it just becomes unnoticeable most if the day or days. u will be fine. just stay positive and use the masking videos in youtube to gt a good night sleep. also a fan helps alot.
@@alliberges thanks for the reply….appreciated. During daytime it’s tolerable…at night it sucks. However, using a fan and some masking noises does allow me to sleep fine. Overall, my life quality has not taken too much of a hit so very fortunate…but it still is annoying. Hoping as you said it fades with time. Take care
Bro also same thing i had tinnitus really low i was stressing about that about 2 months i went to another country… and whole thing started my anxiety i am depressed from injury and after a session of gym i came home an man i was like i hear my T in my right ear i started to stressin about that my sleep is so f-ucked up and i thing every time i focus on it its getting worse… for two years lifting weights heavy weights also loud music but only bow when am anxious and stressed out i came more harsh on me…
Great video! I haven’t told any of my musician fellows about my T and hyoeracussis. Some just thinks I’m weirdo using this earbuds every time I hear little bit of loud sounds. Also helps keeping it optimistic. I really know someday it will get better and go away. No doubt about it. And my brain relaxes. Negativity and obsessing about it is not good.
Hello Luiggi. Staying strong and staying optimistic is absolutely vital. It always gets better . You have to remember that. Best of luck 🤞
use always earplugs when its loud. sometimes I forget that and pay a huge price
Man thanks for the video, I couldn't relate more, same happened to me, I didn't pay much attention to the first signals of tinnitus as a musician I went to a gig with no protection and my tinnitus got really worse, that was the biggest mistake of all my life.
Hello Julian. Glad the video was of use.
Brother google “TOT3 by liam boehm” follow his yt and ig.. he helps a lot of people to silence tinnitus.
He helped me, I don’t hear mine much and I went from ending my life to living a healthy guy.
so TH-cam and ig him.. he’s gonna help you a lot to silence it.
Thank you Jack - appreciate your openess
Thank you
Thanks Jack.. I’m going through a pretty bad bout currently. And I play music for a living. I thought of hanging it up and moving on to a different profession but I’m not going to let it beat me. I just currently purchased high end in ear monitors and will be playing my gigs at a much lower volume than before. I must tell you, for a bit I really thought I was going nuts and didn’t think I could go on. Watching your video and seeing all of the comments from others suffering brought me great comfort. Be well my friend. And again. Thanks you! Hopefully the day will come where there is a cure. 🙏🙏
Ed
Hi Ed. Sorry you going through a bad spell. Stay strong and thank you for the kind words .
before watching the video it was better for me, now it is worse. What you say is true.
„Tinitus, tinnitus…
There is some spike someday
and if we focus on it it stays“
I
Had mine 6 month it terrible now hopefully I be ok
Stay strong 💪
This means a lot, thank you
Thank you Luke
This was an immensely helpful video to me. Thank you sincerely!!
Glad the video was of help 🙏
Great video. Fellow musician here. I’ve had tinnitus for almost 20 years and it can be a very wild ride. Great advice here. I cannot stress enough, get those earplugs out at gigs folks.
Absolutely man . Ear plugs keep me in the game . It’s that simple 👍
I've had tinnitus for almost 4 years and your video has the best advice I heard so far. For me the first couple of months were terrible. I couldn't watch movies, all those quiet parts drove me nuts. And I've been an obsessive music collector for years, hundreds of cds in boxes everywhere. As a child I'd disappear into our lounge where the record player was, and spend hours just listening to music. Well, there are periods I don't notice it... the majority of time really. But I still get spikes occasionally. I still listen to music, but only once and awhile which is kind of sad. It's not that I can't hear it well, but my anxiety and tinnitus go up when I put a favorite cd on. Just need to relax I guess.
Hello William. Really glad you found this video useful. Stay strong. Jack
As well as Meds for Anxiety which do Work!☆☆♡♡♡

First got mine when i was about 20. It was hard in the beginning but now 12 years later i became so normal i forgot about it. Unfortunately i got my second Covid round and it became a problem again. Now i have to go through that process again...
Good morning Sir
I was fool in my youth. Loud heavy metal concerts, music, and, as a guitar player, practice sessions. There's no going back, but I should have worn earplugs from the start. Now, I don't leave home without them. Some of use just have to learn the hard way.
Yes ear plugs are important to me too. 👍
Thanks Jack for this wonderful video. Take care.
Thank you Mark appreciate it 👍

Thanks man. Glad the video was of use 🙏
Trust Jack - you will be able to ignor it - hang in there - i didn't think so, but after a while of using some masking - liek fans and stuff - i've gradually stopped thinking about it. may God heal you. m

Hello Andre . Glad the video was of use. Best of luck with your ear plugs . I have a video on how I use ear plugs on my channel too. 👍

I was looking at the eargasm or earos but people are claiming they work or don’t work ?! I’m confused would love your that on that ?
Thank you so much for the work that you are doing to help myself and others with tinnitus. You are a great and informative speaker and very importantly you have a calm and soft voice!
Thank you
Thankyou so much for all your help it's brilliant to hear this
Thank you 🙏
Thank you 😔😣 Its hard

Really helpful and great advice ive had tinnitus for 4, month's now at first I found it very hard to deal with but I have found the only way to deal with it is to except it coz it is not going to go away .if u are new to tinnitus one of the hardest things to do is sleep at night get some pillow speakers and listen to calming music I found it really helpful I was living on 4 hours sleep a night before I tried these if your not sleeping well u will stress more and your T will get louder good luck
Hi Andy. You have absolutely the right attitude. Being proactive and learning to accept, rather than fight your tinnitus is absolutely the right attitude. Best of luck
Thank u jack
First got mine when i was about 20 after a Chris Holmes concert. It was hard in the beginning but now 9 years later i became so normal i forgot about it. Unfortunately i got another tinnitus after 2 death metal concert and it became a problem again. Now i have to go through that process again...
Sorry you going through a spike. I have a new channel called Help My Tinnitus with lots of other videos on . Sending best wishes 👍
