Have you ever read Rock Steady by Joey Remenyi? She's an audiologist and neuroplasticity therapist who did a LOT of research on Tinnitus and Vertigo. And has basically the same message, your brain can filter the sounds out when you stop focusing on it with fear, hatred, annoyance etc. Its incredible!
Wat a load of shit when it’s blasting at u in the nighttime with positive attitude and not really thinking it’s bad maybe my brain is retreaded it cost me my job cuz I lost sleep
@@thpain9501 I totally understand! That's how I felt at the beginning.. But it's possible to not constantly feel negative and scared about it. Once you learn that Tinnitus sounds are safe and belong inside your body. You can start to change your reaction to it. And that is the way to get out of it. Truly! Mine is waaay less loud nowadays. Just because I'm less focused on it and easing back into my regular life. I Sleep again. I do not fear the sound anymore. Of course it's a process and It will take time. I'm not fully habituated yet. But I'm getting there. And so will you. For a lot of people the sound will even fade out and dissappear over time. I don't have hearingloss btw. My ears are healthy. I got them checked. So It really is something psychological. And you have the power to change this experience!
It's actually not uncommon to have hearing loss without tinnitus or vice versa, and the relationship between the two can be complex. Tinnitus and hearing loss often occur together because they can be caused by similar issues-like damage to the auditory system, which could be from noise exposure, aging, or other health conditions. However, not everyone with hearing loss develops tinnitus, and not everyone with tinnitus has significant hearing loss. The reason for this difference lies in how each person's brain and auditory system respond. Tinnitus is believed to be related to the brain's attempt to compensate for missing sound input due to hearing loss. When there’s damage in the auditory system, the brain might try to “fill in the gaps,” which can create the perception of a ringing or buzzing noise. But this process doesn't happen in everyone. Some people with hearing loss have brains that adapt without producing tinnitus, while others may develop it as part of their brain’s response to the missing auditory input. Additionally, other factors like stress, genetics, and overall health can also influence whether someone experiences tinnitus. So, while hearing loss and tinnitus often go hand-in-hand, it’s not a guaranteed pairing. It’s highly individual and can depend on a variety of biological and environmental factors.
I had moderate to severe high frequency hearing loss for many years, but no Tinnitus until I went through a particularly stressful time. Then the Tinnitus slowly started to surface.
I am sorry but this can be sound advice for mild -moderate. I am a catastrophic sufferer. I have violent tinnitus, that is very very high frequency and metallic. I get jolts of sound which physically hurt my ears and crunching sounds I can feel at the back of my head. You are fine with your tinnitus? great. However, you shouldn’t assume everyone can “change their emotional reaction” to a debilitating condition that should have a cure by now. Also, I find it weird how you have podcasts with Treble Health, which is all about sound therapy, yet you have videos claiming its not the best thing for tinnitus, yet Dr Thompson says it’s possible to reduce tinnitus loudness and intensity with sound therapy. You are not giving people hope.
Hi, Thank you for sharing your perspective. I can understand how frustrating and even isolating it can feel, especially when tinnitus is as severe as what you're describing. My own journey with tinnitus has been challenging too-I was born deaf in one ear, and I experience severe hearing loss and tinnitus in my remaining ear, so I know firsthand how consuming and painful it can be. Tinnitus affects each of us uniquely, and I recognize that no single approach fits everyone. Some people find relief with sound therapy, while others benefit from techniques like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help reduce the emotional impact. This channel aims to present a variety of tools, not to imply that one approach is "the best," but to offer options that people can explore based on their own needs. Dr. Thompson’s insights on sound therapy, for example, have helped many people, but I understand that it’s not the answer for everyone. Out of curiosity, I’d love to hear more about your hearing situation, as hearing loss often affects tinnitus perception. If there’s anything specific you’re looking for, I’m here to help guide you to resources that might be useful. I know relief can feel elusive, but please know you’re not alone, and I’m here to support you in any way I can. Wishing you strength, Frieder
@@tinnituscoachfriederYes, I know you have a severe level of tinnitus. I don’t think your a bad person, I am just frustrated because people think tinnitus is no big deal and that it’s a psychological issue. It’s a complex neurological medical condition which deserves the same attention other ailments get. I cannot just accept mine and what it has stolen from me. I am 32 years old and it started after a sinus and ear infection May of 2023. My hearing loss is as follows: bone conduction is perfect 0 decible line up until 4k. There is a mild drop at 6k then moderate drop at 8k. This continues in a downward slope in the upper high frequencies. I hear fine and do not have an impairment. I tried hearing aids and they didn’t help me at all. The sounds I hear are bizarre, shrill and very violent and oscillating. I dont get any traditional ringing or pure tones.
@@Jupiter_in_suburbia Hi there, I can hear and see the depth of your frustration, and you’re absolutely right and all of these are very valid points you make! -tinnitus is far from a simple psychological issue. It’s a complex neurological condition that deserves genuine understanding and attention, especially because it can deeply affect our lives in ways that others might not fully understand. I know this but you know for reasons of simplicty and brevity it is difficult to craft content every time in a way that it serves all purposes of understanding. Would you not agree? At least it got us somewhere: into a dialogue where I can tell you that your suffering is legit and I hear you. But I can also tell you that we are here and ready to help and support unconditionally, even though the medical community might not sometimes address our needs and concerns sufficiently! Your tinnitus sounds severe and uniquely challenging, and again it’s entirely valid to feel as you do. Many people in our community have experienced similarly intense symptoms, and even when it feels overwhelming, they’ve found that with time, compassion, and the right strategies, things can get better. We focus not on controlling the tinnitus itself but on gradually building resilience, managing the emotions and anxiety it brings up, and finding ways to reclaim peace, even with severe cases. If you’re open to it, I’d love to invite you for a quick chat. Or, if you’d prefer, you can join our community for 7 days for free to connect with others who truly get what you’re going through. We’re here to support you and to slowly, together, work towards finding relief and a sense of control over how you respond to this. You don’t have to face this alone. Take care, and know that we’re here for you. Frieder
I too suffer at this level. I can't listen to certain sounds, my ear vibrates an screeches, it's unbearable. Two years on..... Its been discovered that, I'm suffering TMJ an this is causing my issues an currently being investigated. My anxiety has been through the roof as there's no respite an worse while trying to sleep. It gets worse during stress or bending down, just horrendous. The TMJ (jaw clenching during sleep) seems to likely be the cause as my temple muscle is pushing down on my eardrum. Recently after a sinus infection I started getting vertigo an that ear drum was bulging. I was given buccal medication which did help an exercise to help balance the crystals in my ear. It's also been discovered I have a trapped nerve in my neck, due to all the clenching of my teeth, it's taking two years to find all this out so, don't lose hope, it might well be a TMJ related tinitis. I too have the crunching sound in the back of my neck, this is all down to the tension of TMJ. Since the regular exercise of my neck an the prescription of amitriptyline at night, it's greatly improved, please don't give up hope, not all tinitis is just how it is an many don't understand the complexity of TMJ cos you don't even know your doing it. The crunching in my neck was the start of muscle leading to all this diagnosis of TMJ an this is a treatable condition!
@@angiemacslilmitesanmore Thank you for sharing your story-it sounds like you’ve been on such a challenging journey, but I really appreciate how you’ve shared your hope and progress with others in this comment. TMJ-related tinnitus is indeed a complex condition, and it’s amazing to hear that you’ve started seeing improvements with the right diagnosis, treatment, and exercises. It’s also very true that stress and anxiety can amplify tinnitus and make it feel even more unbearable, so addressing both the physical and mental components, as you’re doing, is incredibly important. Your story will likely inspire others who might be dealing with similar TMJ or tension-related tinnitus to dig deeper into potential causes and treatment options. If you’re still exploring ways to manage tinnitus and stress, I’d love to invite you to check out some of the resources and strategies I offer through my platforms. Many of my clients have experienced significant relief by combining science-based techniques like mindfulness, CBT, and ACT with tailored exercises to address underlying causes.

I have some friends with known hearing loss and don’t have Tinnitus and I also have hearing loss with tinnitus. Confusing
