Need to Tell You more
“Tinnitus doesn’t get louder” that’s a very dangerous thing to say to someone. My tinnitus got louder on my right ear, turned out I had so much ear wax lodged in and was so thankful to have it removed and the tinnitus went back down to low.
OMG, Dr. Gans explanation of tinnitus being a benign body sensation is extremely HELPFUL! It makes it so much easier to understand and not be scared of. Mine is not “bothersome tinnitus” yet I’ve become more aware of it which made me worry and after hearing the discussion on this podcast I’m much less worried. I definitely have stress and a little hearing loss that my ENT doesn’t think needs hearing aids but I’m hopeful I can learn to “ignore” my tinnitus more so it doesn’t become bothersome. Thanks so much for your HELPFUL podcasts!
Glad it was helpful, Marsha! You're welcome.

I am from Scotland not much help here doctor Ben is my hero j tried so hard listing to all now I find doctor bens voice does it for me xx
This had me in tears with relief listening to Dr Gans. It’s been so helpful. Thank you Ben for having such a wonderful guest on. She is the best I’ve heard.
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
I agree!!! I saved this video. I need to watch it often.
She is the best ever❤❤ ppl with tinitus god help in all ways🙏
First of all, hands down one of the best videos I have watched! Dr. Ben does an amazing job of providing us, (meaning the people with bothersome tinnitus), very insightful, professional information to help us in our tinnitus journey. Dr. Ben, you truly care!
Wow, thank you, Patricia!
I've been watching videos online for about 4 months since my tinnitus started. This is the 1st video to exactly explain what has happened to me. 1st my audiogram has showed hearing loss above the 7000 hertz. 2nd her description of my personality was right on. I have always been a person who won't stop at a problem until I figure it out and fix it. And the 3rd part started after the election. For the past 2 years I've been glued to the news. Watching and getting more upset everyday. Then one evening the tinnitus started out of nowhere. Well I stopped watching the news and as others have said there's not much I can do to about what's going on anyway. So now I'm working on reducing my stress and hopefully the worst is over. Thanks for all the incredible knowledge.
You're welcome! Be well. :)
Amd how are you now
Does hearing aid help to mask Tinutus n stay positive life ? Anyone with experience pls share
@@mannyportelada6042probably doesn't notice it anymore and thus there is no response lol
@@yasinv3743 I’m curious about this too
Long story short. 40 + years with tinnitus. Never really bothersome at first. Noise trauma from loud band in 2006 sent me into 2 to 3 years of wearing hearing aid noise generators. I fully habituated for let's say 15 years (stopped wearing hearing aids). Had a 6 year old girl cup her hands over my ear while I wasn't looking and screamed as loud as she could directly into my bad left ear. This was about 3 months ago. I'm struggling to believe the comment that T doesn't get louder. I'm back to the hearing aids with sound generators and presently hoping for a re-habituation.
Thanks for the discussion. Very helpful. Her description of those with bothersome tinnitus is so spot on, it's scary. Thanks for once again posting another great video. Hope you keep up the awesome work you are doing.
Glad it was helpful, Craig. You're welcome. 😊
''I don't believe tinnitus gets louder''. Classic quote from someone who's never had tinnitus.
It's ruining my life.
Did you listen to what she actually said? Words are powerful and have an impact on your experience. The noise you hear does not get louder or quieter, but your perception does. At least, that's how I understood it. The noise is always there, but when you are tired/ stressed etc, it feels louder. Also, if your hearing loss worsens, the perception of tinnitus gets more bothersome because the brain tries to compensate for the lack of hearing. I don't know how to explain this properly bc am not a native English speaker. Anyway, I loved this video; it made so much sense!
@@katireijonen I would disagree that the noise is always there, but we only hear it when (stressed/tired/not of the better mindset.) There are times when I don't hear anything from tinnitus. There are times during the day when it changes. I just don't agree with this person in the video. She is not explaining my experience.
You obviously don't have tinnitus.
It certainly can and does change volume and frequency.
@katireijonen
@@harrykey2448
Absolutely right! I've had it for 35 years with not one day of silence. It went from a barely perceptible hiss to a flock of a thousand birds circling above my head. I would actually picture these birds in my mind especially when I tried to fall asleep. I would pretend there were all these birds outside that were trying to keep me from sleeping. That was my coping mechanism. Then I got COVID 2 years ago and my tinnitus went to a level I would have never thought possible.
Before COVID I had tinnitus. After COVID I suffer every day from a medical condition for which there is no cure.
Seriously, this talk was very helpful. The analogies and everything. Helps with better understanding a close relative who struggles with a bothersome tinnitus. Describes their personality very well. Thanks again with the help and guidance.
Glad it was helpful! You're welcome. :)
I've been struggling with tinnitus since September 2022. This is some of the most useful information I have found so far. Please continue to post these educational videos.
How are you with coping tinnitus today?
@@kingsmooth5696 much better. Sound therapy helps me a lot. Managing sleep & the anxiety is key though.
This is hands down one of the best informative educational videos on tinnitus I have come across to. Thank you for sharing this . Extremely helpful.
You're welcome, Toni. :)
If you have reactive tinnitus, you know that it definitely can get louder after exposure to loud noises.
Yes.
I haven’t finished the video yet, but I wanted to say thank you. I always had tinnitus, but in April of 2021 a good friend of mine had some health issues; tinnitus being a corollary. Anyhow, all of a sudden, my tinnitus, which I always knew was there, but paid no attention to it, exploded. It was terrible. I have minimal hearing loss. But, the funny thing is, the tinnitus actually elucidated some childhood trauma that I never investigated, and it sent me on a deep healing journey. I’m actually grateful for it! I’m learning a great deal from your video. Thank you so much!! You both are helping me. Sending love to you both and the community.
Hi B.M., thank you for the comment. We are glad to know that our videos have helped you. Enjoy exploring our other TH-cam videos, as well as blog articles on our Treble Health website.
Excellent discussion. I completely identify with the points Dr. Gans made. I have sensorineural hearing loss, went through enormous work related stress at least 9 months before tinnitus and yes I have that amazing personality. As frustrating as tinnitus was in the beginning, it awakened me to what is really important for me in life. I am making good progress toward habituation of which meditation is a big part of. Thank you for this most informative video.
Excellent! Thank you for the comment, Carmen. We are glad to know that our videos have helped you. Enjoy exploring our other TH-cam videos, as well as blog articles on our Treble Health website.
Stress and anxiety is what I'm getting now becouse of tinnitus and Dr gans as got me 100% right about me
This was an extremely helpful discussion. Dr Gans is the consummate professional. I'm hoping I can follow her advice and make it work for me. Thanks Dr. Ben I really appreciate your channel and efforts.
You're welcome, MrStewbee. We are glad to know that our videos have helped you. Enjoy exploring our other TH-cam videos, as well as blog articles on our Treble Health website.
With all due respect I wasn’t feeling this. It all culminated to like “it’s all in your head” etc “you have hearing loss” I’m sure that’s for some, but not all like stated by the Psychologist. I have had tinnitus since I was a kid, I remember laying in my grandmas room hearing ringing in my ear thinking it’s a normal thing that everyone hears this so went along with my life loving it and forgetting it’s there unless it’s very quiet. Years later into my adult life now it’s louder. Yes, actually louder, because I found out I have been clenching in my sleep, due to stress and anxiety and developed TMJ with tension headaches. When I move my jaw or neck I can change the pitch and strength of the tinnitus. It’s been checked, hearing and all is fine. It’s from TMJ, with massages it is helping but need to train my jaw to stop clenching while sleeping. Now I ask, for someone like me is this all in my head and that’s it’s the same loudness as I was a kid, or is it all in my head and have an amazing personality? 😅 Should I stop the TMJ massages? I appreciate these videos, but I felt left out from this one. However, I loved her explanation of how it’s something the brain registers as serious but really isn’t as it’s honing into something benign like a lens.
I have tmj!
I hear you. I know I have hearing loss because mine is from a loud music event. A stupid day that changed my life. Mine also changes when I clench my jaw or yawn. I also feel tension in my jaw. Not sure what that all means. Wishing you the best and a wonderful recovery ❤️🩹 and the same for us all
This video is very helpful!!
Dr. Gans explanation is amazing. Thank you Ben for doing this video.

OMG, I am in love with Dr. Jennifer Gans
I'm thrilled to hear that Dr. Jennifer Gans' insights resonated with you so deeply! It's wonderful to feel empowered and understood, especially when dealing with tinnitus and other challenges. Thank you for your positive words!
Very very helpful!!!!She understands it perfectly. My lens is stuck with me because I sustained it from a concussion, at the same time around my father passed and I lost a relationship combined with a high functioning mentality. So I think this hypervigilance I was already in motion and just became an inevitable disaster for me once I started hearing the sound. It's reasuring to know somone like her understands it step by step. Brilliant and thanks.
A concussion yes in some cases it can spike or cause yhe symptoms you r having with the death being made worse
❤ this was very helpful. The information was presented in a very thoughtful way. Thank you. And thank you for pointing out about how important our words are. So many people use the words, my tinnitus. The word "my" indicates ownership. My house, my dog, my job Etc. Our mind is always listening. You are claiming ownership when you use the word MY. Use more generic words, the tinnitus in my brain is loud today. Put some distance between the condition and how you feel about it. This goes for using the words, my diabetes, my cancer, my heart disease. It only takes a few seconds to rephrase what you're going to say to stop owning the condition. Give it back. I love the comparison to the paper tiger. I'm going to save this and listen to it when I am feeling stressed out about the perception of tinnitus. Thank you
This video was AMAZING!!! I have been habituating well b/t stage 2 and stage 3 and then a spike hit and my anxiety spiked with it. I feel as if Dr. Gans was speaking directly to me regarding stress. Benign body sensation is not an indication of something greater - fabulous explanation - that along with opening the lens of the amigadla. Incredible. Thank you, thank you, to both of you. (I am going to watch this again.)
Glad you enjoyed it, Elisa. Enjoy exploring our other TH-cam videos, as well as blog articles on our Treble Health website.
How are you doing with tinitus today?

Super helpful, amazing info from the doctor. Have her on again!
This was super helpful along with the other video you did with the German doctor. Of all the info ive seen on this..the work/info youve provided has been the most informative!!
I'm so happy to hear that you're finding our videos helpful and informative, our team is constantly monitoring new research updates and working with other professionals in the field to keep the tinnitus community as up to date as possible!
This lady has described me down to a T.
(Pun intended).
Seriously tho, this is the best episode yet.
Ben, you’re doing wonders for the community in getting these amazing people to talk about the T.
Keep up the good fight x

Wow Dr. BEN YOU JENNIFER are so intelligent! What a great interview! You guy made me feel good today! Many thanks to you both. I vote for JENNIFER to be added to the Treble Health Team! I believe she would be a great asset! Thank you
Great to hear that. Thanks for the suggestion, George! :)
Another amazing informative video by Dr. Ben.
Glad you enjoyed it, Billy! :)
Fantastic podcast. I have high frequency hearing loss and tinnitus. I am currently seeing an audiologist and using sound therapy. CBT starts in August. My T started 6 months after I retired from a stressful job that required me to be firing on all cylinders at all times. I took great pride in doing a good job. I was/am an amazing personality. I never heard that “diagnosis” before now. I have often wondered if my retirement and my tinnitus were linked somehow. Thank you both.
Thank you so much! This is incredibly helpful information and makes so much sense to me.
You're welcome, sallyatch. Be well. 😊
It was really helpful and much needed information. :)
Glad it was helpful, Vidushi!

So Knowledge is the key to Tinnitus? That is indeed helpful. A great, big fat thank you from a tinnitus-afflicted person. ❤
I've had the enormous pleasure of working with Dr. Gans on my own tinnitus journey, and can personally vouch for her expertise. One of the wisest clinicians on the subject of tinnitus today.
Thank you! 😊
Very helpful and definitely makes sense for me. Thank you 🥰🙏
Glad you liked it, Lori. 😊
You're very much welcome. Be well.
So helpful and grateful for this interview!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Her argument for hearing loss across all persons seems to rest on the idea that all in the "bothersome" category have hearing loss above 8000. If she does not measure it, and her patients' doctors don't measure that, then how does she know?
Great comment. I have no hearing loss at all and actually have very sharp hearing. But I do have bothersome tinnitus a good deal of the time.
@@capyboppysame here, tinnitus in my left ear for 25 years. But my hearing is fine !
What I find bothersome is not my tinnitus, which has been going on for nearly 30 years, but this gal's assumptions of her patients prior to her questioning and diagnosis of their symptoms. Maybe someone vets them first and only admits those with hearing loss, stress, and amazing personalities 😅 I appreciate Dr Ben's efforts to summarize and clarify every now and then (but I don't feel she does) However I do feel her "benign body sendations" terminology is very helpful. 😀
Then what do u suspect caused it just wondering why
Thank you for this well articulated video!
You're most welcome! I'm glad that you found the video well articulated and informative.
This is a VERY good video. I'm saving this. To listen to again while laying on floor with my weighted blanket here at age 53 and lost 10 pounds from this . Im 5'7 and don't like being only 120! But my fear and continuous super high anxiety from this high pitched noise and low humming in right ear and clogged feeling ears and sensitive to noises now.........all of it has caused me to react to this as a MAJOR threat to my future instead of accepting it!
I don't function same. Don't eat much. Only have one more week off work to use.
Gotta accept this soon. This "Paper Tiger" as she says.
I’m exactly the same and I’m right there with you. Last night I was sobbing and screaming in my bed. Today, I’m still depressed, but at least I haven’t cried *yet* (about to go to bed)
Going to play some white noise and draw on my iPad a little and hopefully this melatonin kicks in.
Sending you some of the positive energy I have to share today ✨
@@xxo5294 .... Omgosh!!!!!! Well listen here right now!!! It is about 3 months later and as I type the ringing is same of course bUT I'M BETTER!!!!! I've acclimated to it and I didn't think this was in any way possible! I still get quite irritated sometimes. Especially the second I turn off my car. Uughh. The worst.
I hope you are ok and PLEASE hang in there because I'm living proof you can live normal with this. I have severe Tinnitus and 3 different tones!
I went through hell in 1st month. Pure hell. I was so scared ...... I couldn't go to work or eat or do anything but curl up in a ball freaking out.
My nervous system went into fight or flight mode and damaged me and it took 2 months to recover from that.
Maybe you know but I will say again, you will be absolutely fine. You just end up living with it. It becomes a part of you and its crazy how your mind learns to tune it out as loud as it is. No way would I have believed that. It just took nothing more than time. Every day to the next. Plain old time.
So I did end up crying and my life is still miserable. Nothing will help this curse go away. I’m slowly accepting all we can do is get used to simply existing miserably (as opposed to living, I don’t feel like I’m living) or “habituate”, I guess is the candy coated way of saying it
Iknow just whatvu mean just existing not livimg at all in through the mostbtragic things a human can go through i an good at .that butvthe chronic tinnitus ear noises r really the worse to deal with its a invisible monster that alot of thick ppl just don't get it or even want to ifbwvery adult has to suffer like we do nothing would ever get done I know that

HELPFUL! Thank you for this profound information.
“Amazing Personality”, Dr. Gans …. Love it!
“Too much Stress”
“Hearing Loss”! I had a test done in 2014 that reported no hearing loss, but memory loss is definite. I still have the hiss and should get tested again. I will work on the stress with positive affirmations. Thank you both for The Show. God Bless You!
Thank you, I definitely learned and understand more about coping with tinnitus. This is 100% helpful to me.👍🏼❤️
I'm delighted to hear that the information provided has been helpful for you in understanding and coping with tinnitus. 💜
Keep the research going
This video's explanation of what tinnitus is and how to manage it was extremely helpful. When I told my doctor about it she said "oh no! You know there's no cure for that!. which scared me and the stress/anxiety set in. I have the 3 personality traits you mentioned. The knowledge I gained watching this have helped me manage my tinnitus. I hear it now as light music playing in the background and can manage it with stress relief, meditation and sound apps (If it spikes at night). Thank you both for this.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're so glad to hear that our video provided you with helpful information on managing tinnitus. It's wonderful that you've found ways to cope and that you now perceive it as light music in the background. Keep up the great work with stress relief, meditation, and sound apps. We're here to support you on your journey!
Very very helpful. Thank you Dr Ben. I need to take the quiz and get connected with your program. Is the quiz best place to start?
She's amazing thank you Ben and dr Gans

She is one of my favorites. When it gets bad I always listen to this.
Think you would ever make a sleep talk down video that plays sound therapy the rest of the night??
Yes, that's an interesting idea! We'll definitely consider creating a sleep talk down video that incorporates sound therapy for the rest of the night. Thank you for the suggestion!

Very informative interview. Please invite Dr Jennifer Gans back to discuss pulsatile tinnitus. Thank you
Mine started December 28. Scared the heck out of me. It's Feb.. 17 already habituating, i forget about it a lot now, first week couldn't sleep. Sleep like a baby now. It's really not like a lot of people say it is. It's more our imagination than anything else I think. All you people that just got it , you'll be fine quick positive attitude.🙏
Thank for your nice writing because its so New inside me
@@baysays6975 Same here going on my first full week of intense ringing and cricket chirping in my left ear..The first few days where almost suicidal, I went to the ER they did nothing, scheduled with an ENT I'm seeing this week. Naturally I went to the net and read the stroies of people who said they're lives are over etc..Since then I've found this wonderful chanel, and have kinda begun the early begining of acceptance. I use the crickets sound therapy for sleeping and to help me relax during the day... I'm now able to sleep most nights, still have rapid up and down stress and anxiety, but I have moments of relative peace.
@@colinkillian9265can I ask if you had a stressful event right before you noticed the T?
Everything she talks about is my situation to a tee. Once I listened to her explain it to me my tinnitus pretty much went away.
I agree. It's 4 months in for me now and the 1st month was a living hell and full of petrified fear.
I can't believe I can say I'm ok now. It's all about habituation. All there is to it. It just happens by default.
No far from thr truth as can be ita totaly a physical ailments not your imagination that is a real insult to the ppl tht have it chronic no dr ever told me it was my imagination ever or anyone that have trur damage thR is totally false to say that mYbe for u it is
Yes, very helpful!!! I am one of those with the amazing personalities 😮
She makes so much sense and described me.
Oh my Gosh thank you I have just developed tinnitus and everything that is being said is me I am a fixer and yes person, I am getting so much help from this and as soon as the audiologist give s me the results next week I hope I can start to unstuck myself and heal to a manageable levels of tinnitus,
Extremely helpful
Glad to hear! Be well, Anibal! 😊
Helpful, thank you😊
So glad! You're welcome, Mplaca. Be well. :)
This is helpful 👍
Helpful description of what's going on. I live very rural and the ENT I went to 50 miles away was like no help. Told me to come back in a year, lol. I had very low tinnitus until I got Bells Palsy almost a year ago from the covid booster. Then the tinnitus went through the roof !
I got tinnitus after my 2nd covid-19 vaccine shot. It changed my life
@tonima4784 yup, it sucks. Damned if you do and Damned if you don't. I took the vaccine and lost the gamble. If I was to do it again I wouldn't get vexed. I keep myself isolated as much as possible and forever will . Now my face is all messed up so I don't want to interact with anyone I don't have to
This sums up my tinnitus:
Amazing personality check
Slight hearing loss check
Stress check
I developed tinnitus in Dec 2021 following 6 months of health anxiety from long covid, along with losing a longtime friend to lung cancer just after Christmas.
The description of the personality sums me up a treat and my audiology test said I have slight learing loss in the higer frequency's.
Having moderate success with mindfulness but awaiting ENT (nhs in UK) which will take a while due to the 7.5 million waiting list.
Helpful, thank you dr. Ben

I’m two months into my tinnitus journey. This video was quite helpful. Thanks so much to Dr Thompson for his work.
Glad it was helpful! Be well.
How are you doing now?
About the same. I have moments during the day when it disappears, but as soon as I realize I don’t hear it, it’s there again. Coping with it by using the masking sounds on You Tube and Spotify when it gets bad.
Very helpful, thank you
You're welcome!
Awesome video

I'm doing her MBTSR course online, and it has definitely helped! (Having good masking sounds when I feel that I need a break has been essential too.). She described my personality to a T. 🙂

She is brilliant!
Right! :)
My amygdala just went
"dam..... im busted" and i feel a whole lot better.
I've heard this 30 million Americans are not bothered by their tinnitus before. I think it's important that the perceived volume of someone's tinnitus is the main factor whether its bothersome or not. I'm pretty sure if the 30 million people had tinnitus like I do, the vast majority world find it bothersome.
Pretty sure of that what do u think would likely cause increased volume for example how much hearing loss someone has especially in higher frequencies ?
V true
Hi Dr Ben, do you know if there are a lot of research and progress of experimenting of medical that come close to fix tinnitus? How could I participate the trials? I live in Oakland, California. Thank you!
Very helpful 👌
Glad to hear that, Mike. Be well.
Super helpful! Understanding this. I thought the tinnitus was drowning out my hearing. But it is my hearing loss that is causing the tinnitus.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Yes its true the loss of function is making up for the loss just not sure why some pplthat have enough loss experience this I think about 30 percent but i tend to think it's really more than that and that I itself should be studied why that happens 😮 one drool me thzt they actually do have it but dint agnolige it or notice it but not sure of that quite strange some dr say its the way the brain failed to delete it so rtherefore it must be also a brain malfenction the delete gate is broken I somewhere in the brain so tinitus is both issues a broken hearing system or damaged both cochlea and audio nerve usus6 both if cochlear is damaged then the hearing nerve is not getting the signals but the brain 🧠 is failing to delete it this must be studied extensively but idk why it's not being done it should be a major priority
someppl thT hav
I wish this woman would explain why my parents have bad hearing loss and no tinnitus. I call BS on the everyone with tinnitus has hearing loss. My bet based on her faulty logic, everyone has some level of hearing loss in that wide spectrum. 🤦♀️
I think the T comes temporarily after the hearing loss but goes away once the hearing is gone. Surprised tgeir ENT didn't explain this.
Amazing thank you 👌❤️
You're welcome 😊
Honestly many people are very much bothered by tinnitus, they just can't afford the outrageous expense of the help offered! That's the real truth! It's to damn expensive!
We understand the cost may be out of reach for some. The cost depends on what is appropriate for your needs. We have a variety of different devices for people who have tinnitus only, tinnitus and hearing loss. The price range can be between $150 and $450 per month, and we have 0% financing options. It's hard to say what the cost is for the program the plan that will be best for you. The best first step in this process is to attend a free discovery call with our tinnitus specialists to learn about our program. We have openings Monday-Friday at several times per day. Here is the link to schedule a discovery call at your convenience: calendly.com/treble-health-audiologists/tinnitus-relief-discovery
Do u ever wonder for example celebrities who have very legendary amounts of hearing loss loss from either noise injury disease or some other defects?? MKes u wonder how they really cope
She is right on point..
Brilliant!
I cried when I heard her talk about "the amazing personality" of people who suffer from bothersome tinnitus as being people who are "very sensitive, who pick things up, and who are AWARE"... describes me to a T... I'm also highly contentious and detail-oriented to a fault of being perfectionistic, and always wanting/needing to figure things out to solve them. There are many gifts in these attributes, but also some very real struggles and difficulties, and I'm a person with bothersome tinnitus. Hopefully, our sensitivities can be used to unhook or unstuck ourselves as well.
This is me as well.
How are you now ?
@@DanGalsberg602 Thanks for asking. I'm happy to report that although my tinnitus hasn't gone away, my brain has habituated to it fairly well, and I'm able to listen to music and enjoy my life again. Even when I hear it, it doesn't bother me so much anymore. Although I would absolutely prefer it wasn't there, I'm not letting it get to me anymore. How are you doing?
@@DanGalsberg602 Also, I just want to say that a big part of what helped me recover was specific meditations for tinnitus on the Insight Timer app, and a LOT of self-counselling as I am a therapist and life coach. If you want these resources, or feel that talking to someone could be helpful in your tinnitus healing journey, I'd be honored to help where I can. Don't hesitate to reach out.
@@JDubeta that's great news. I'm glad you have gotten back on track.
I'm doing well. I'm having an episode that's is getting better by the day.
I can tell you eventually it will be gone and you'll forget about it.
I've had it before and for me it all comes down to stress overload.
Once I get myself back onto solid ground the tinnitus and other manifestations of the stress will be an old memory.
Sleepwave & Relief these are two apps I was recommended this summer after being diagnosed with pulsate tinnitus this summer in the UK by the NHS. My condition only is apparent in quiet environments and these two apps I have found very useful. Great Video thank you
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing, Derek. Be well. :)
