Almost a year living with tinnitus for a hearing loss in one ear but i have T in both, at the beginning was awful because my mind recognized this sound as a threat. I went with so many specialists and all of them told me ``you can do nothing about it´´. ``you have to learn to live with it´´ and it was devastating. And then i found sound therapy, it helped me in some many ways. Today I no longer care about this anymore, i dont know if im habituated cuz i can still hear it even more when im in completely silence but its like my brain saying ``who cares´´ so yeah like you have said before.. you can live happily with tinnitus. BTW i saw you in a tik tok video then i followed you in ig and now im here, it is good to know there is people out there feeling the same way as me.
Ahhh, your journey with tinnitus is truly inspiring. Sound therapy really is a game-changer - I listen to white noise every night! Thanks for supporting and for sharing your experience, it’s super valuable for those seeking help and inspiration to push forward ☺️
Hello my tinnitus sister, I’ve been on this journey for 3+ years now. On the habituation, because of fluctuations, some days still bring negative thoughts back. I think part of the problem is that the good days build high hopes that I’m on the right track then when it comes back with a revenge it makes me think that all the “progress” is reversed. I’ve tried many times to relate the louder days to anything external, and cannot pinpoint to anything. All the best. Adrian.
Hey! When I first started the journey of habituation I honestly thought it was as easy as going from point A to B. It’s actually a huge roller coaster and it’s normal to have ups and downs. When I had my first bad day, similar to how you explained, I felt terrible. I felt like I had only made progress to my standard tinnitus sound and thought there was no hope with fluctuations. These bad days are the most important days to try to apply these techniques you’ve been learning. You have to push through, keep being busy and be mindful of these negative thoughts coming in. Remember that it’s okay to have these days where you can’t seem to apply techniques to, it’s all part of the journey. I like to look back on them once the fluctuation has passed and think about what I was most worried about.
My tinnitus is also inside my head! I feel like we're in the minority on that? I just woke up one morning and there it was. The first week was horrible. Now I'm 2 months in and I'm almost the old me again. I've learned to put in the background and continue my day, the volume has decreased a lot though as well! CST and massages for tight muscles have helped a lot as well. Thanks for sharing your story and putting out such a positive vibe!
Hello! I had the same case, I had tinnitus for 1 month now, I just woke up at night and notice the noise and then BUM there was a big orchesta on my head. Now I notice it less and less, it's still there and I have not got trought it currently, but it passed just one month. I think this is a symptom of anxiety, at least, is what doctors say. I think I always had it. Any suggestions for getting throught?
@@jaumeivars I think you have to address the root cause of the tinnitus, the anxiety. That's what I'm doing also, with therapy. Meditating, yoga, mindfulness,... all these things calm your body and mind and they help me too. I notice the tinnitus only 10% of the day, if that. I hope one day I wake up and realize that I haven't heard it in weeks :) good luck to you!
Thank you for sharing your experience and sorry for the late reply! It does feel like we're in the minority with tinnitus inside our heads, but it's comforting to know we're not alone. I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling more like yourself again after just two months. It's amazing that you've managed to put it in the background and that the volume has decreased. CST and massages for tight muscles sound like great strategies-I'm happy they've helped you. Thank you for your kind words and for being part of this supportive community. Take care and keep up the great work on your journey! How are you doing now?☺️
How do you manage to cope ? How loud was yours? Mine keep increasing . It’s day 16 for me and it’s getting hard everyday and feel very depressed and low
Hello Caris, very good vid I'm 10 years of tinnitus, with a huge spike 1 year and 7 months ago. I agree with everything you said on the vid. Sleeping is the most important, so cut off naps, and try to go to bed and wake up with an alarm cloock every day on the same time. Getting a sleep routine is much important. I also use sound to sleep (water running and waves) Take care
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! 😊 I'm glad you found the video helpful. I completely agree-establishing a consistent sleep routine is crucial. Cutting out naps and sticking to a regular sleep schedule has made a big difference for me too. Using calming sounds like running water and waves can be a lifesaver for a good night's sleep. Take care and stay strong on your tinnitus journey! 🌟
Hi I found this video and this is what I need it. I had tinnitus for one year now and at the moment I’m going through a spike and not doing well mentally or emotionally. Thank you for this video
I’m so glad you found my video. I felt so alone in my early days with tinnitus, so I completely get it. Thank you for the lovely comment, and I wish you brighter, more positive days ahead. Keep focusing on you and don’t let tinnitus stop you from doing what you love. 🤍
Hello dear, I've had tinnitus for a while now, (just turned 23 1st Jan) i don't actually remember when i did not have it! Anyway, for a while now it was fairly low, almost unnoticable and i think i have habituated well as i could go months ignoring it! Recently, for past month or so I have been experiencing some pressure in my head along with feeling of pressure and blocked ears (currently being put on medication for this to see if it will help). All of this has caused a spike in my tinnitus, and all of a sudden for the first time in a long time it has caused bad anxiety about my tinnitus, i am suddenly becoming depressed. Thank you for sharing your experience and helping others like us 🙏 it takes some of the stress away :)
You're not alone in this journey, and reaching out for support is a positive step. It's great that you're seeking medical help and trying to address the underlying issues. Keep focusing on the proactive steps you're taking, and don't hesitate to share your feelings and experiences with those around you. You're stronger than you think, and your openness about your journey is already helping others going through similar challenges. Wishing you strength and positivity on your path to better health! 🌟
I’m 20 and I’ve had tinnitus for over a month right now. It just started out of a sudden after a cold & I went to different doctors & they told me I have Eustachian tube dysfunction with retracted eardrums. It’s weird because obviously that was a relieve for me cuz that would mean it’s probs temporary. And that stopped the fixation & the stress on it and now I’m not bothered by it anymore. Stress rly makes it worse ! I am also glad I got to experience this ringing in my ear because I’m also someone that literally wears headphones 24/7 and got this warning on my iPhone every hour LmAo. So now I know it’s important to protect my ears before it’s too late. ( gonna throw my jbl in the trash can fr) I also love to hear your & many other ( young ) ppl their story because having this experience made me being so interested in what tinnitus rly is and how it’s possible to live with this symptom/ condition. I am glad to hear ur feeling better than last yr:) now I’m gonna finish watching this video hahaha
Don't have the condition to your guys point But when I sleep at night I hear a slight ringing but it never really affected my sleep I understand the addiction to listening music on earphones I listen to it at work, gym, walks. Such a majority of the day. But not too loud volume Then I understand that I don't hear the ringing most of the day because a lot of my day involves noise. It's a way to escape discomfort. Whether it be alcohol, overeating, driving fast on the freeway after a long day at work. They are all escapes from the stillness and silence.
@milks0ap002 When I put on earplugs when I work at the airport I still have the slight ringing. I still do necessary tasks without thinking about it My hope is that you can go throughout your day not being consumed in thought by the ringing
I'm glad to hear that you've found some relief and answers from the doctors regarding your Eustachian tube dysfunction and retracted eardrums. It's such a positive step to have a better understanding of what's going on and that it might be a temporary issue. Even if it's peace of mind!! Thank you so much for sharing your story, it means a lot to everyone reading the comments! I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video, and take care!
This is a really helpful down to eath video. I've had it for 7 months and the best thing I did was to have acupuncture from an authentic TCM practitioner. It didn't cure my tinnitus but it did reduce my anxiety so much that the sound no longer bothered me. Maybe it helped bring the habituation process forwards. Anyway I agree with all you have said and thanks so much for sharing this.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad the video was helpful. It’s great to hear that acupuncture has eased your anxiety and made your tinnitus more manageable, even if it didn’t cure it. Sometimes reducing stress can really help with the habituation process. Thanks for sharing your experience-I appreciate it!😊
Hey! I developed mine about a month ago. I listened to really loud music on a daily basis. Never considered the impact it would have. Gone to a clinic but not to an actual specialist, yet. I am fine during the day, but sleeping is a real challenge! I loved sleeping in complete silence, could never really sleep with noise. Music doesn't work, open window barely works. I'm a bit stuck at the moment.
Hey, thanks for the comment and for sharing your story with tinnitus! It’s no surprise that sleeping is a common challenge with us all. In my experience, finding the best sounds and aromatherapy have really helped - along with a solid routine! Stess was also a big thing and still is - work in progress with the management there. I find it enhances my perception of tinnitus and makes it a lot worse at night!
@@Ssharma67 Hey! Getting used to it now. I've got these noise cancelling earplugs called Loop and started wearing them at events & gyms so it doesn't get worse. Sleeping fine now; took a while but got used to it.
@@roshnigurung7722 Hey! Still struggling with it. Try using earplugs under your headphones. Ditch earphones to headphones! You are not alone, many of us are in the same boat
I didn’t leave my house when I had terrible spikes and in 2020, this was consistent. When I attempted to go and socialise my tinnitus would always overpower people and I eventually couldn’t face it anymore. After wearing hearing protection I thankfully no longer have spikes this bad and I now have coping strategies that help me during these moments. Don’t let tinnitus stop you from living your life, it only makes things worse. Focus on the present and don’t worry about the future with tinnitus, habituation will come naturally and with time 💫
Good question! I started noticing a difference in my well being after 3 weeks of practise CBT exercises. The Oto app helped so much with this!!! After a year I was fully habituated. I feel like I’m still evolving on my habituation journey and always finding more ways to keep myself comfortable ☺️
Hola he leído un comentario de una señora en un video sobre el aceite de ricino y a ella se le mejoró mucho poniéndose 6 gotas de aceite de ricino virgen sin hexano, templado (para calentarlo ponía un par de minutos la botellitas con cuentagotas en un vaso con agua caliente) en cada oído por 20 minutos por varios días no recuerdo bien si empezó a mejorar después de 11 días o mas tiempo, normalmente el cambio empieza a los 21 días, si alguien que lee esto y quiere probarlo ...... 😉
Thanks for sharing that tip about castor oil. I haven't tried it myself, but it's interesting to hear about different methods people have found helpful.
I am one of those ~~WORSE~~Cases. Yes I have thought I would possibly have to take my life. But I don't want to though. Im now doing everything I can to stay here for me as well as my husband I love so much. I've had this since 1994 but it suddenly got worse a week ago. Audiologist currently investigating this spike.
