Julian is right. I´ve just started a treatment for my anxiety and the first step I've bee taught is just let your symptoms be, don't try to change them, don't judge them, yes at first is difficult and even more when you have a spike, but if you let them come and be with you, they lower in intensity as a consequence. This is a crucial part of recovery, then when you have learned how to let your symptoms be you are not fueling your anxiety even more and you are in a better place to learn how to relax. My tinnitus is better. My hyper sensibility to sounds has vanished and my ears are not clogged anymore.
Hey man. I’m going through this right now.. I’ve had tinnitus many years and have had bad days.but habituated to it mainly at times it didn’t bother me. But my anxiety at the moment is off the scale and I’ve got sound sensitivity too now. I’m feeling anxiety symptoms all through the day and my attention is on my tinnitus.. it’s hard right now… hope you’re better 👍
You are pretty much the rockstar of the Tinnitus world! Thank you! I have had tinnitus for almost 5 months, been practicing mindfulness for 3 months now... And can really feel it backing off now. Thank you for all these videos!
I have tried tinnitus for 4 months. Tried mindfulness meditation, TCM, acupuncture, bowen therapy.. nothing helps to back it off. I am happy that yours is backing off & I hope I can reach that place soon coz I am spiking quite frequently especially later part of the day & it forbids me from sleeping
@@jeslinchng DO NOT give up Chris.. stay determined to get better. Have you seen the stuff on you tube by Dr Ben THompson..look hi up on "Treble Health" ....he has a lot of useful stuff to say. You are in my thoughts.
Julian thank you for being my mentor and helping me through this rough period in my life. I am thrilled to say that I have experienced days of my tinnitus backing off and letting me find joy again. I am sure I can speak on behalf of all your fans around the world and say "how grateful we all are for your help". Thank you again.
Thanks for your wise words Julian. Ive had mild T for years - not bad enough for it to bother me at all.....then I went through a dark time of extreme stress and grief and my T went from 1/10 to 9/10 almost in an instant. It has lessened a little over the past 5 months as I began meditation and sound therapy activities. I was also directed in your direction by DR Ben Thompson in California and I have to say how I am beginning to make sense of what you are saying, though it has not been easy....it takes determination and time . Thanks again and please continue to offer your wise advice to T sufferers!! Alan, U.K.
Glad to hear you're making good progress now. Yes it can be challenging changing one's mindset but hopefully what I'm saying starts to make sense and becomes commonsense after a while, especially when we look at our own experience and how this influences the ringing in your ears.

Living with that's my new addition along with watching for calm and taking my breaks. Thanks Julian great info. 10yr anniversary for my Tin. Peace and keep it up,, sufferers will start depending on your guidance and true support ....
Thank you Julian you saved me, my T gradually getting to a much better location, pleased your genuine help and understanding of this sometimes baffling symptom is being appreciated. Less stress more patience, is not something in large amounts that we have been educated through in our working lives, but your advise definatelty balances the T to back off. Martin
Really glad to hear it. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a steady on-going recovery. Julian PS If you need further support you can find a lot more help on my app here: www.quietenapp.com
I am 18 and live in Norway, I am stressing a lot with exams and such because of my tinnitus. I got tinnitus a month ago and I struggle with focusing on school and reading to my exams. Do you have any suggestions of what I can do to help me to take the attention off the tinnitus sound when I am reading ? By the way, your videos have helped me so much, I felt so lost in the beginning, but your videos have inspired me to think positive and really try to let go. The work you are doing is extremely important. Finding someone who is that positive about the condition is rare but also so, so helpful!
+Elise Gundersen Hi Elise, do you have any idea what possible triggered the T, since I think this is very important, also to know which changes/or training might help in your case.. Maybe because of the exams stress, (are you connecting a lot of things with the exams, eg building up to much pressure) then it could have triggered this panic mode, in my opinion most important is then to first of all accept this and try to find out in meditation what exactly are the fears and issues and to allow them to express and release the stress, even the panic! this was so in my case the T stopped then finally after several weeks.. it might help a lot to notice that the T is most probably a sort of indicator that the nervous system has switched into an other mode for protection, not harmful, no further panic! but in other cases the T might got triggered physically by wrong posture or/and less regular exercise (since exercise in moderation is also releasing stress).. Good luck & recover to you! Namaste
@@laisa. Hei! Jeg har helt glemt at jeg har det nå og jeg slet veldig med det i starten. Jeg hører lyden aldri med mindre jeg er veldig stressa. Så jeg bruker lyden som en indikator på at jeg må slappe av og stresse ned :)
Thank you so much, I think you are the only one that i can feel that really whant to help us and understand what it is. Im from Canada the french part (Québec Montreal) and i take this time to thank you ALOT because my tinitus is 90% better and i still got problem to sleep but at least during the day i stop listen to it... or focus on it so i dont understand it. I taught at first i was gona live all my live in a PANIC mode but now i can breath a little bit. I whant to be 100% and have complet silence and i know i will get that, it just a question on time and hope. The best sound in the world is the SILENCE so i whant to get back that silence. Thank ! :) Sorry my english is not perfect !!
Julian, I've had T for a couple months now and a couple days ago I started noticing everytime I would swallow and the subsequent ear pop(pressure change). I think it's always been there. It's just louder and noticeable now because I'm hyper focused on ears, noises, internally focused, etc... It's to the point where I sometimes feel anxiety building before I know I have to swallow. Can you speak to this? Thank you for what you do.
Yes, this exactly. It is difficult but can be done even if you fail every once in a while. Internal tools are more important and can bring the T back into a safer space I think... you have to integrate its presence.... then again I'm a noob!
Thank you very much for sharing with us your knowledge on tinnitus. You have helped me so much, just listening to you I feel peaceful, I would like to get therapy with you but unfortunately I live in Florida. God bless and please continue sharing,
Hi Julian. I’m from Singapore. A cranial sacral therapist told me that her associates in US and her feel that CST works better with low pitched tinnitus. This is disappointing coz I have loud high pitched
So I've been thinking about it. For the past year I have been so stressed. First my heart was flip flopping all over the place. The I got eye floaters. Then my heart would race just from getting out of bed. Then getting dizzy right before falling asleep. Then dizzy all through the day, and now tinnitus like I have never experienced it before. My grandfather got sick 5 months ago, and I started taking care of him, even though I hardly had energy for myself. But I stepped into this role, and used my reserves. Themn 2 weeks ago my mom lost her dog. I was sad yes, but she was/is very sad. So I have been there a lot for her. And now I just heard back from a cranial sacral therapist that if my tinnitus was brought on by loud noices, that could be hard to help me with. SO! How long of not being stressed will it take.before it will calm down a bot. I am really freaking out. I am known for panic attacks and generalized anxiety attacks. So I am scared I'm going to have to contact a euthanesia clinic. :(
Hi there - I have a similar story - what caught my attention was that you said you had eye floaters and the racing heart. Me too. One in each eye. I have gotten my heart under control I think - but weird that we have the same symptoms. I was very stressed out due to a diagnosis - but that has passed. I get very tired sometimes. But overall I am really improving. I don't know what caused it. when I got it - I had just started working out hard in a very loud gym - but I don't really think that was it. I was also taking a strong medication - wouldn't mind comparing more of our stories - but would rather do it privately. If you want to contact me I have a gmail account - first part is ssorige. I didn't put it together because some of these sites block email addresses. Don't know if this is one of them or not. Contact me if you can. I'm in the US - Ohio to be exact. Thanks!
I deeply wish you are better.. 🌻 That last sentence was hard to read as I have thought the same myself. Luckily I have gotten better the past months but it's still a hard thing to live with. I wish you the best 💕
Hi Julian, thanks for an other great video, yes this is very important practising it was sort of my focus too before mine stopped, there is also this biomental training for Tinnitus from a famous German doctor which I guess it is also addressing this.. (might be bit like neuro programing since if the system after longer periods of stress, several shocks etc it can adapt a different mode, this mode was somehow useful for the duration of the stress etc to avoid further damage, could be kind of shut down I guess and all the information which was not be possible to work on once should be worked off afterwards bit by bit to remove the stress and will support the stress release). this should be practiced contineousely and with great patience and grace since to sort of reprogram the mode of the nervous system.. Namaste
I think finding things that are enjoyable and focus the mind on the body are very helpful. Not good to overdo things or force oneself into a regime. This adds stress. The way forward is to de-stress, relax, enjoy, let go....
Thanks Julian for the reinforcing statement/ reminder you wrote. I am going to download your two books in the next few days. Thank you for sharing your experiences also.
It depends on how you are and how you settle and what happens in the meantime. But generally as you settle and feel safer in yourself things tend to get better. This can be a gradual process that takes time.
Not at all. Taking the attention off the tinnitus can be very helpful. So the sound of a fan, music, outdoor noise, waves (look on you tube for endless natural sound videos) are very good for distracting you. I believe distracting the attention off hearing completely by focussing on the body is the best way forward however, as this settles the nervous system and is likely to help the tinnitus go quieter and quieter, which is what you want.

Using any kind of fan in a room to mask T will it make it worst??
