    Here Vik is describing the steps to get from Habituation Stage Three (tinnitus no longer distressing but may be slightly distracting and annoying, continue to hear it multple times through the day) to Habituation Stage Four, where you rarely notice your tinnitus and don't care when you do. Congrats Vik for getting there! To get to stage four, you've got to practice what I call "radical tinnitus indifference." I've been in stage four for 18 years. I highly recommend pursuing this. It's like a cure for tinnitus!

      @@drbrucehubbard I was on stage 4 for months and than I went to a freaking nightclub and now I am back to stage 1.
      After I left the nightclub I got that normal high temporary tinnitus but I freaked out, thought it was my normal tinnitus that got louder, and I started paying attention to it for days. That louder temporary tinnitus went away on 2 days, but my normal tinnitus came back because I was paying attention to it again.
      So, people on stage 3 or 4, be aware, do not do things that can get your tinnitus louder or make you pay attention to it again, you can fall back to stage 1.

    Vik, your first video years ago pulled me out of a suicidal spiral. The timing of this one is perfect as I unfortunately had a terrible recurrence over Christmas, and am now in this habituation phase as things settle down and the tinnitus ever so slowly fades. I’ll be listening to this one on repeat, no doubt. Hope your next videos are not too far away 😊

    I got tinnitus on a cold January day in 1982 when I was 16 years old, I am now just about 59..
    I had no choice but to learn to ignore the constant high pitch ringing in my left ear and learn to look at people’s lips to help me hear them talk …
    I cannot hear what people are saying if there is loud music or I’m in a big crowd of people all talking at the same time..
    I just avoid those situations as much as possible…

    Thanks a lot doctor for your great videos, I got tinnitus recently and I have been suffering from it for the last 2 months, until now I didn't get a chance to see an ENT doctor as the medical system is so slow here in Ireland, it's impacting my sleep and my daily life badly.
    I always try to listen to music or something before and while sleeping, but it seems not to help much yet, my brain not able to create the filter as maybe I'm still giving my tinnitus too much attention.
    I'm still hoping to know the root cause of my tinnitus and hoping it's treatable, I went to audiology and said my ear is seems healthy and maybe the ENT could do more checks and maybe an MRI as my tinnitus is only on the right ear, I'm really terrified to have this tinnitus for the rest of my life.
    So sorry for the long comment, just venting.
    Many thanks again doctor. 🙏

    Thank you for this follow up video! I very recently watched your last video (about a week ago). I've been practicing all day, and into the night, retraining my brain to hear the noises around me. Saying or just thinking "I hear ____" and also telling my brain that I'm not interested in those interior noises anymore. Lol I'm not sure if I'm doing it right or not but sure enough I had my first day not being bothered by the ringing...and I've had ringing for as long as I can remember. Again I say thank you for your video! Not just making the video, but giving away life saving information and hope!

    hello doctor, i was very pleased to watch your first video! since everyone else says that this is incurable! but it seems that a lot of people are being cured of it! it is either m trying to convince myself or it is just that people who cured prefer not to talk about it again which is fair!
    i had my tinnitus 10 days ago maybe because of altitude difference, going back and forth between two cities. i have a mild hearing loss at 4000 and 16000hz but the doc said that this is not even considered hearing loss and would affect nothing, but i have ear pressure which i can feel and it stated -3 dapa i do not really know what that means. at same time m having a sore throat with an inflamed sinus which is making my tinnitus a bit loud now. and honestly i was so stressed and depressed before i got it.
    after watching your first video i had a great belief that i would heal one day and i hope you comment on this.

    Thank you for your videos, doctor. I love the way you explain things, being positive but realistic at the same time. I would be thankful if you could help me on the following question: do you think it´s realistic to "silence" tinnitus even if it´s caused by hearing loss? Or is "habituation" the highest goal I can strive for in that case? How about your tinnitus? Was it caused by hearing loss? Or any other cause? Many thanks for your response in advance!

    Prior to me focusing on this low frequency Tinnitus, i have this other Tinnitus that would make my left ear vibrate to the pitch of others voices when they speak on my right side directly. Other times if im not focused on it, its not triggered if im not focusedon it. I am going to see a ear specialist on the 31st down here in Orange Ca.

I had this issue early last year, and I panicked so much that I grew my tinnitus, now I have tinnitus and the vibration of my left ear still happens from time to time when I hear some pitch of sounds. I asked the doctors and all of them said they can’t fix it. It’s more like a neurological thing.

      please help me with an opinion. I have tinnitus and I sleep very well with it. I wear earplugs when I sleep before the tinnitus started and I continued after, even if I hear it louder because of them, (my ears are perfect and I go for regular check-ups, without infections or wax ) I sleep very well and I don't wake up from noises around me and I'm rested, so I hear it less during the day because i have good sleep with ear plug
      my question is: can the earplugs worsen the tinnitus or cause it, considering that I sleep very well with the plugs and the tinnitus? should I give up? it helps me to be very rested
      thank you I appreciate all your work

      I also used to wear earplugs to sleep prior to getting T. I think this might be my reason for getting T. The plugs cause your brain to focus on what it hears inside your head and not outside. Well.. that's my humble opinion.

    Dr vik, I find your strategies and tips very helpful thank you so much sir , gives me hope . I wish there was more Doctors like you on this world . I had developed my tinnitus from shooting with no hearing protection about 2 months ago it was extremely loud now I just hear it in quiet places or when I plug my ear and it’s just a slight hiss. It seems I get moments of silence in the mornings . I find it kind of odd but gives me hope . My question is does this work for unilateral tinnitus as well? I had went to an ent basically saying I had to live with it and also my hearing is Perfect . My first hospital visit I was put on prednisone and told I had fluid in my ear I believe it cleared up by the time I went to ent. I’m 2 months in i do feel so much better than I did when I first started . Going to give it a try makes sense on how to set up that filter and train your brain to not hear it at all and getting out of that negative loop of tinnitus .

    Hi, I am also a medical doctor from Turkey. I have tinnitus for 40 days, I learned a lot from your videos and benefited. The point I want to ask is about the character of tinnitus. In my first days of tinnitus, I heard only one sound like whistling, it was sometimes increasing and sometimes decreasing. But a few days later I heard a second noise, it was a humming noise, it dominated following days but I still have two different noises in my right ear. Is it because I am focused on my first sound and produce a second one on my own; does it have a clinical importance to have "double tinnitus", or is tinnitus always a tinnitus whether there are two, three? Thanks you so much for sharing your experience.

Quit is now my enemy . I can only let you know my thoughts as I have had it so long. First thing is except it not many people can stop the noise the sooner you realise it’s with you for ever it helps you deal with it. I sleep with a soft head band with built in speakers at night with relaxation music it really does work. At night if my family in bed again I’ve purchased great quality blue tooth headphones so I can watch tv at night and keep my buzzing at bay . All these exercises you see on you tube hitting your head with spoons and tapping your head with fingers forget it. Some people are lucky it can leave them but it’s only a few there is no cure I know I’ve got mine till the end . Realising this has helped me but I have many bad nights still . It’s a battle for sure . I pray 🙏 for you it gets better or even it leaves you for good .

      Typically I don’t think about it too much, but not hearing it at all is challenging.
      And I don’t want to run from it either or be afraid of it.
      I have sleep ear buds that I use when I sleep. And I put on a podcast or sound therapy with crickets and water stream sounds.
      I used to need a lot of volume to mask it, but now I barely need any volume at all.

      @@MrKennyBones Maybe the next step is not masking, thats what I did for habituation.
      The first weeks you hear it a lot, but over time you will go to bed thinking about other things and will even forget about tinnitus.
      Its just important to not freak out and have negative emotions towards it, if so it may get worse.

    What if your T is extremely loud? Is it really possible to get the volume down? I mean if you read the stories of Peter Studenik & Carol Lee Brook- they claim TRT really helped them and they both had severe T like myself.

      In both videos I don't get the message about the 'cure'. Have now listened to both videos. Your explanations are a bit confusing. Sorry.

    Makes sense what you say Doc....but my tinnitus reminder every morning and every night is the fact that I wear hearing aides. Any ideas? On how to try and forget about the fact that you have to put them on and take them off every day? Hearing aides do help me with the tinnitus during the normal work hours because they are setup to amplify my audio frequency gaps and so they have a masking effect on my tinnitus.

      I didn't have hearing lost but have had T for a long time. I am in the same situation as you now though and may need a hearing aid in one ear...I think though that it doesn't matter if you completely forget consciously...I think it is more like getting over an ex partner.....You can still think of them but not feel any emotion because your heart isn't broken and it don't bother you no more....I think that is how you get cured....You can remember you had it but you don't hear nothing no more because your filter works again in your brain. ..It's all about healing your filter so it goes back up and filters it out as pointless noise not to bother noticing.

    Does the room have to be quiet at night ? I always sleep with a tv bc I think about work a lot. Now when tv is off I hear rumbling with a random high pitch in the very back that varies. Is this bc of a lack of sound from my tv ? I also have TMJ on that side
