Watching your videos have helped me a lot. I'm about 5 months in with T from noise trauma. 2 weeks back i was depressed, and in a pretty bad place emotionally. Googled some stuff in distress, and found your videos. I feel great now, and only getting better. Going through your book now as well.
Thanks Julian. I have constant issues with fullness in my ears, particularly in the left one. I always suspected it might have something to do with my sinuses. I'm going to try the saline solution.
Dear Julian, Thank you for your wonderful videos. I've been examined by an ear specialist and audiologist due to my tinnitus, which has been quite severe over the last 6 months, and whilst the latter discovered mild hearing loss in one ear, the former found no blockages in my ears. Is it possible that despite this, I may still have a sinus problem? Thanking you in advance .
what you taught here is so incredibly valuable it's it's a basic life skill that we should all have when I was 17 my girlfriend I was kind of joking around but she goes oh I got to clean my nose it's really gross but and then she kind of laughed it off but it's not gross oh and I was like yeah that's good it's cool that she's doing that but then I was scared away from it of course it's scary the idea of trying something new for the first time especially water up your nose everybody thinks I think there's a lot of fear that is just after you do it the first time it's easy it's not a problem like anything just use your common sense don't push it be gentle it's very close to your brain but it's and you want we're talking about proper hygiene so obviously you weren't going to do this with dirty hands right . . ?

Yes! I’ve been getting regular tinnitus recently and find “popping” my ears makes it go away. I have some auto immune conditions can tinnitus be related to this? I’m only 27 and I’ve always had it occasionally since I was a kid
It’s been almost a month for me it still hasn’t stopped I read people’s comments in your videos that have had it for months and people who have had it for years it’s really scared me I went to the doctor she said my ears were fine i dont know what to do now
Please have a look at these videos: th-cam.com/play/PLxZrSQ0Jpqb_CHpAs9UP_vjwmCDOUWmel.html They may help orient you to how to set up a support network and learn to self-soothe and settle your system.
The fear response causes is the structures of the ears to tighten up and become constricted. Best to try eating within an eight hour window every day (intermittent fasting) and give up dairy for a while. Also please massage your face, jaw and behind the ears every day to help your structures release and open up again. You can find techniques on how to massage the face on my app called Quieten www.quietenapp.com/ under the section basic techniques. The more you relax the more the tubes open up and the more the hypersensitive hearing system calms down and starts ignoring the world again. You can also rinse the sinuses with saline solution. Please remember the happy ears are very good at filtering out irrelevant background noise and only focusing on hearing what is important. If you would like to organise an online session to talk this through in what detail and to suggest other things that may help you get on the road to recovery please email me at info@juliancowanhill.co.uk
Im curious if chewing, processed foods in modern diets and facial shape changes have contributed to this malady of so many health issues? Oldest native tribes have amazing teeth, facial shapes.
Yes. Doc said to me, there is a tube between your mouth your nose and your ear that equalises the pressure in your head when you swallow (this is why swallowing helps when your ears pop on the plane). So if these tubes get blocked or filled with fluid that pressure can't equalise. It feels uncomfortable and it can mean pressure builds up behind your eardrum
Do u think a saline solution is strong enough to remove fungus or mold from the sinuses/eustachian tubes? Fungus and mold are supposedly two big causes and they can work their way through the eustachian tubes etc to the ear.
Hello Julian if I have tinnitus and sinus also. Is there a possibility that you can feel like your going deaf for example not hear fully well or especially a muffled because of the sinus. In my ears when I yawn or swallow I hear popping and crackling in my ears.
Yes, this can happen. Fasting can help clear inflammation and Buteyko breathing can help open up the sinuses and the respiratory pathways. I recommend doing the evening face massage and yawning on my app - go to level one techniques on the matrix and find this amongst many useful practices for tinnitus there: www.quietenapp.com You can also organise a session with me to talk things through in detail here: info@juliancowanhill.co.uk Best wishes Julian
hey julian. Im sorry but i dont know where else to ask. I would like to ask you a question regarding tinnitus. After i got T, i noticed that when hearing music, the music gets kinda distorted or i hear stuff that i should normally not hear if that makes sense .Sounds that normally would be too quiet or too ambient to really give normally a thought or an active listen but they bother me as they distort the music experience. An example would be hearing the crunchy distortion behind the bass guitar or little snipets of glitched production. Is it possible since i have hyperfocused my attention into hearing like you rightfully say in your videos, thats the reason why it happens? I know my description doesnt really help you understand the problem but its actually really difficult to describe it myself. Thank you in advance. Best wishes and thanks for your videos
This comment is 5 months old so sorry if my reply isn't very useful now, but I felt exactly the same some months prior to developing T. I remember I described it as "it seems as if I had changed the audio settings", like when you adjust the sound on your TV from "clear voice" to "cinema" to "dolby surround" and so on... in the sense that the elements you hear are the same but they sound different? And also yes, what you say about the crunchy distortion of the bass guitar which normally you wouldn't notice, I make midis as a hobby and I used to think I needed a new soundfont because everything sounded so bad, and soon enough I realized that it wasn't just those midis, as songs that I've been listening to for years were also sounding strange, so it had to be my ears... Another thing I found odd was that I used to not even check whether I was using each earphone on the right ear (as in, I didn't check if it said L or R) because to me it made no difference in what I heard, but after developing this symptom, I could immediately tell when the earphones weren't on their correct side. Anyway, for me that symptom is gone now! It lasted about half a year... Oddly enough, I actually stopped hearing sounds distorted WHEN I got T. Right now things sound fine to me again except for that extra high pitched voice that the T is adding, of course... but we'll get rid of it thanks to Julian's help! :)
Three months ago my sinusitis started getting worse due to polyps so I operated and get some relief. But few days before flu started that developed strong sense of congestion In sinus plus I experienced sudden sharp pain and ringing in my left ear. It's been almost a week Dr. Prescribed me antihistamine and nasal wash but until now there is no improvement. Is there any hope of going this ringing sensation?
Where do you buy these tubes that can shoot the saltwater or saline water up your sinuses ? I can only find saline nasal sprays which only create temporary relief of sinusitis but nothing that suits your description. Any links would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I used saline in my nose and the ringing left for about 30s then it came back. Do you think I have sinus blockages and was in my ears? It’s weird how doing the saline stopped the sinnitus for a while. Please reply. I really do feel my sinuses blocked and I have ear wax. I gotta go to the doc soon to get the wax out
Hey I also got tinnitus from a sinus infection turns out I got otitis media (fluid in ear) and my t started to go away after my sinus infection was clearing but came back when I got sick again, I recommend you check with your doctor to check your ears, nose, your t could be caused by inflammation or fluid in ear
I had sinusitis, and tinnitus started in my left ear, after filling the middle ear with phlegm, now the tinnitus is gone and I've done everything to make it go away. I don't know if it can disappear with it, but I don't know what to do, either adaptation or depression, science knows very little about it, I don't see a way out, vitamins, medicine, nothing solves it.
Arguable the way out is out of your head into a calm relaxed body and coming out of fight or flight and distracting with things you love doing and keep you focused.

I put some oil in there yesterday and today I’m blogged and don’t hear as well. I’m feeling scared because mine is not sinus. I had bad ear pain last night and this morning my tinnitus is worse and I feel clogged
Yes, but the central issue is that your hearing sensitivity is probably high and you are detecting sounds that normally sound quieter and are more ignorable. Please practice the evening face massage on my app in level one techniques. Yawning and massaging are incredibly helpful for opening things up. www.quietenapp.com Hope this helps, Julian
The daily cycle of rousing for the day and switching off for the night may be too activated - like the idling speed of a car being too high. The jaw can be tight if you grind your teeth at night with frustration and unexpressed rage anger or injustice etc. Hope that makes sense. Best wishes Julian
I think only if you eat the salt as it can rise blood pressure. If you rinse your nose with salt water, I don't think it will have any effect on your blood pressure.
I have tinnitus and when I do a sinus rinse I can hear crackly "noises" in my ear canal and sinuses as if there's some sort of blockage. Any idea what may be causing it?
@@JulianCowanHill Ok thanks for the response. Can you briefly explain what you mean by "nervous impulses" in this context? And is there any way to clean sticty eustachian tubes without going to a ENT doctor?
Sure. Nervous impulses flow through the whole nervous system constantly and when we are too switched on or alert the auditory system detects and registers these impulse. In happy relaxed times, the auditory system knows this innervation is irrelevant and unimportant and so ignores them and filters them out of our awareness. Best way to clear them is to do plenty of gentle jaw-wiggling yawning causing the ears to purr and the tubes to pop eventually. The more we relax the more the tubes open and close - (parasympathetic nervous system function improves). Fasting if this is appropriate (eg not diabetic etc) is an excellent way of clearing gunk out of the system. Drink water and have no food for a couple of days and you can feel the difference. Fasting is a big topic and needs to be entered into gently with no extreme behaviour. Olive oil drops in the ears once a season can help melt wax build-up too.
Too bad my nose are 100% blocked. If I did that, I’d be dead haha. Nights are the worse, when the screeching in my ears finally allow me to sleep, I start suffocating with sleep apnea. Every single night. Lost weight, changed diet, technically an “athlete” now, but the damage is done. I’m in my early 30s. Best advice I can give you youngsters, STOP EATING ANYTHING PACKAGED AND GET OFF HEADPHONES. Have a nice life
I've had tinnitus for years now but I couldn't hear it much when I was out in about like driving, talking to people when there is noise going on. But recently I injured my thumb very badly at work and when I went to ER after I had a shot of morphine I sat up really fast and i like felt some fluid go into my ear and it's been really loud ever since like I don't know why if it was the trauma of the injury or what IDK but now I hear my tinnitus where ever i go and I'm really sad and depressed I just wanna cry cuz I used to only hear it in silence now I hear it every where now it discourages me I'm just so sad. But yeah it might be sinuses in my right ear because feel like my right ear is full and has fluid in it or it has pressure or some thing.
I've watched hundreds of these Julian and found this the most beneficial.. thanks.

Has the ringing on a decline now?
How do you fell now? N you know some time?
You’re talking about the buteyko method, that helped me so much along time ago with my breathing.
Thanks Julian. I have constant issues with fullness in my ears, particularly in the left one. I always suspected it might have something to do with my sinuses. I'm going to try the saline solution.
Hey did u try the saline? Did it work for you? I used the saline and the ringing left for about 30s then came back. Idk why
@@mannyprays1164 so is the ringing still there after additional sinus rinses?
Dr. Ho Lee Phuk yeah but you learn to live with the ringing. Don’t fear it and it gets lower certain days you know. Depends on stress and studf
How are you now? Is your tinnitus gone
T in both ear or just 1 ear ?
Dear Julian, Thank you for your wonderful videos.

Piratebreadstick research shows tinnitus associated with hearing loss can be treated with a hearing aid
which in turn makes it go away

Great video thanks mate !
Im curious if chewing, processed foods in modern diets and facial shape changes have contributed to this malady of so many health issues? Oldest native tribes have amazing teeth, facial shapes.
I find that having a healthy bite, jaw and dental system help our hearing system stay in balance. So I would tend to agree with you.

Sir i have nasal congestion at tinitus due to devaited nasal septum
So u mean inflammation in nose and sinuses can cause tinnius?
Yes. Doc said to me, there is a tube between your mouth your nose and your ear that equalises the pressure in your head when you swallow (this is why swallowing helps when your ears pop on the plane).

Avoiding dairy, sugar and wheat in your diet. Exercise and stretching would help to circulate your blood.
Any natural remedy for fungus or mold that can be in the sinuses?
