Having lived with tinnitus for a good few years now, I tend to fall asleep to really mellow music, rain/wind sounds, or asmr videos. Makes it so much easier on those nights that I have trouble sleeping. Oh, and don't worry too much about it long term. You'll be surprised in a year or so how little you notice it. Keep strong! Your music is so definitely worth it.

[@s4shade]

If you still have trouble falling asleep, I would recommend playing rain and thunder sounds, or beach waves. It helps me fall asleep.

[@Lunareclipse3268]

Chronic 'ringing in the ears' often caused by sudden loud noise, but it can be caused by a bunch of other things as well.

[@mivapusa]

At first I was like "Fuck no! Not this guy, not Tinitus for Gavin!" Now... I'm really relieved. It would have been a pain, as well as a litteral loss to the world if your condition had made it impossible for you to do what you love. I can thank you for ever having experienced Dragon Age as I found 'Age of the Dragon' here and decided to play the games. Thank you for all you have given us over the years, and please, please don't ever stop.

[@BlackSwift7]

I grew up with tinnitus, it wasn't fun. What really annoyed me was that no-one listened to me when I tried to tell them about the ringing in my ears(which was deafeningly loud at times). I still have it now, but it's thankfully not as bad. You have my sympathy Gav.

[@DarthXentus]

As for sleeping, try having a fan going in the back ground. Just a small one to generate some white noise. That way it isn't dead quite.

[@shinydomechromehead]

Congrats on 10 mil+ views! The last million was me! :D I have tinnitus too, since I was a kid. It could be worse, I could have hearing trouble that doesn't let me hear your music. THEN life would suck!

[@Spartanjames170]

I only have mild tinnitus I hear a buzzing noise whenever I am in a quiet environment. I cant imagine what a more serious case of tinnitus must be like. Thanks for the music Gavin!

[@115zombies935]

Its ringing in you ears thats constant, it never stops, its 24/7 ringing

[@2KXMKR]

Just subbed to you today, your songs are awesome. I've been singing Nord Mead all day to myself "Chug'a mug'a mead an'another mug'a mead" That part is a bitch! I also suffer from tinnitus and was basically told by a doctor "Nothing we can do so get on with it" so I know how that feels. I find it good to have a small water fountain next to my bed when I sleep or a fan in the room like a comment below me says, it really helps a lot but try your best to just ignore it or you'll get insomnia.

[@vreeshim]

Ireland and hangovers go together like peanut butter and jelly. Hang in there Gavin! Tinnitus is annoying, I have it as well. You do get used to it, and sometimes it's like you don't even notice it. But when you do, it's annoying as hell! That's why I listen to music and play video games as much as I can! Other noise makes the ringing seemingly stop. Big fan of your music, and an even bigger fan now that I know you're Irish!

[@Kuddeldaddldu]

I also have a tinnitus that will not go away, I know how you feel. It's been some years now when you have posted this and I bet you can manage living with the ringing sound in your head. It's the same for me, hardest part is when I try to sleep and the room is quiet. I found "my solution" in a small electric heater which can also blow without heating. Saves money for the power and sweat in the night. :) I'm also addicted to music so I had to try some heaters to find out which one sounds best for me (yes, they sound different!) and then bought ten pieces of the same product cause they won't last forever. :) It has a very agreeable sound and I guess I would still use it for sleeping even if my tinnitus was blown away from one day to the other. Maybe someone reads this and finds a little help in my words.

[@afterlifeavenger]

I know how you mean with the ringing, I've had Tinnitus since I was REALLY young, and really, the only time I actually notice it is when things are just dead quiet, and I can't stand when that's happening because it's just at it's loudest when no sounds are being made, which is one of the reasons I'm buying your albums, because if I'm gonna listen to something, I may as well listen to something good and your music is just fantastic, Gav, thank you for all your hard work, and I hope all the best.

[@vidavid937]

Hey Gav, I know this video is old, hope you're doing better now. I've read that tinnitus can be caused by stress / worry / anxiety or even excessive jaw tension. If you're stressed out, try to calm down, maybe with some breathing exercises, meditation or whatever works for you. It goes without saying but getting enough sleep is important too I think. Hope this helps, all the best!

[@xxLoomy]

Yeah, I have been dealing with Tinnitus with about a year now and I really don't notice it unless I am sitting in the quite reading or when I try to go to sleep at night.

[@awesomefagget]

Its awesome that you are still happy with your life, I don't know, if I had tinnitus I would probably go insane after a day :( so... props to you :)

[@Tent316]

I have that too. Its not as debilitating as people think. You only notice it when you think about it lol. When you forget about it you just tone it out.

[@Schaly]

A persistent ringing noise in the ear or ears. There are a lot of causes for it. It isn't super serious but it can affect a person's sense of hearing because it's heard all the time. It can manifest if all kinds of noises in all kinds of pitches. I'd say google it because my description is pretty fractured. But that's the gist of it.

[@AshenArtifice]

Congratulations on the 10mil views - you deserve it! I've had tinnitus since I was 10. I don't like working in quiet spaces because then I really do notice it and it stops me from focusing (made school exams even more annoying than normal) and being around buzzing machinery (like computers) makes it worse. I usually have my MP3 player with me because listening to music helps to tune out the ringing sound. I do hear sudden, painfuly sharp sounds occasionally, but that's gradually happening less.

[@MrDerpernicus]

I don't know yet if I have tinnitus, but cheers (from a non alcoholic glass(I'm 13)) from a fellow music lover and a great fan of yours!

[@Fullmetalnyuu0]

The Miracle won't be going away any time soon! I love your music, I've contributed financially where I can, and I'm glad to hear that your tinnitus isn't interfering with your life in general too much. You are actually the main reason I play half the games I do. You go, Gav!

[@JulianGreystoke]

I've had tinnitus since I was a kid. I'm really used to it of course. I sometimes notice it when it is very quiet, but I find the sound almost comforting now. I don't like silence, so my ears provide sound for me lol. The soundtrack of my life goes "beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." LOL Anyway, keep being awesome! I love your music! :)

[@Bradatimrkonja]

As a fellow tinnitus...person, I am glad to hear you are habituating to it, it was the same to me. My tinnitus started around the same time yours did too, actually (in november), and the first week was just hell, but it's gotten much better. Now it usually takes 10-20 minutes for me to fall asleep, down from the 3-4 hours of the first night.

[@ZinAgLok]

Since i'm also part of people living with a permanent tinnitus i wanted to tell you that i salute your work and efforts.As for sleeping, i would recommend reading. It helps keeping you focused on something else. Best wishes for the future and keep making these great songs which help with my own tinnitus.

[@RinguPingu]

Glad to hear the tinnitus is "better", if one might call it that. Also burst out laughing right as my dad walked past at "which, in Ireland, is a lot", which earned me a funny look. Looking forward to the new album!

[@Daaaaaaaave]

I've had tinnitus for years mate - Too long standing too close to a bass amp probably - but I've been able to subconsciously tune it out. Heh, sitting typing this now I can notice it again but that's because I'm thinking about it. Trying to get to sleep used to be the worst but now I make sure I've got a ticking clock in the room and my brain can focus on that instead of the whizzing in my ear. Keep going Gav. :)

[@kasegami45]

It really is impressive how someone with tinnitus can post videoes like this with you being happy and entertaining and it really says alot about how awesome you are. BIG thanks from your fans in norway

[@MrAlgorithm]

I feel ya on the Tinnitus. I have it myself. Though mine is a loud hiss rather than a whistle. It makes it hard for me to sleep at night too. Keep up the good work man, the music keeps me from hearing it too. :)

[@darcemercado5205]

I hate when I get that...its only does it every so often but I feel ur pain..hugs...

[@derpyhooves7349]

If only I could "borrow" your Tinnitus for like an year, so that you can get a rest from it. I hope you are doing better now and I wish best of luck, Gavin. :(

[@RPGaddictC]

Huge respect for you man

[@Uriain]

Hey Gavin, not sure if you "need" absolute silence when you are trying to sleep, but I use a fan to generate background noise for me (as I hate silence) so a minor amount of background noise might help you tune out the ringing from Tinnitus. Grats on 10 (11) million views, looking forward to picking up your new album when it comes out :D

[@loorthedarkelf8353]

NEW ALBUM! And amazing hair... I want to touch it... I'm so glad that you're still making music and doing stuff you love despite your health.

[@Nivea76]

Had the same problem going for well over 2 years. Listening to music helped me a lot especially when I wanted to sleep. Hope your tinitus will one day decide to simply vanish just like mine did :)

[@nacolucas]

My uncle has tinnitus. He sleeps while listening to music. Usually the same 20 song list looping over and over. He tells me that makes him concentrate more on the lyrics and lets him sleep easier.

[@Teabone3]

Very talented

[@victornoorts4779]

I discovered your channel 2 days ago, and you are actually very talented. If you got a subject, you can write a song, compose a melody and even sing and play it. Love your concept.

[@karlosrolero]

I've read the other day on my local newspaper a news about tinnitus (noticed it because of you) and they we're discovering some things that could go into the making better the life of the persons affected, so this could be good news for you :D (sorry for the grammar, I'm not a native english speaker).

[@Zyandrah]

and dont forget the EPIC singing voice to go along with it!!!

[@402THUNDER402]

Happy 10+ Million views Gavin! You are the best!

[@VelocityClanStudios]

Glad to hear your coping with it.

[@renji691]

Great Job Gavin, love the music :)

[@astucity]

I have tinnitus too, so I know what you mean when things get quiet that's when you notice it. At night I sleep with white noise around me or else it would keep me up all night.

[@MissYaotl]

Congratulations! Wishing you all the best.

[@Scatty16]

love your music Gav! Your music and you're awesome!

[@simone6090]

Keep up the great work Gav. Looks like I'll be picking up the new album for my birthday.

[@portaljumper339]

Thanks for the music, and I can't wait for the new album! Glad to hear that you are dealing with the tinnitus so well.

[@videosoftheweek7]

Wow you are freaking amazing

[@Ironhide667]

congrats on the views and I can't wait to buy your next album, your music helps me stay happy while grinding away at my job thank you so much for it!

[@UltimateAnarchist]

I'm sorry to hear about the Tinnitus

[@danmenard6917]

Keep on trucking, Gav. And congratulations on 10+ million views

[@Linkforlife199]

Thank you for your music! I am so glad I came across your channel when I did and I cannot truly express how much I have enjoyed your music over the past few years.

[@VredeGaming]

As a lifetime tinnitus 'sufferer', it's kinda weird because you talking about it is the first time since I was a kid that I've really noticed it a lot. In other news, your music is still bloody awesome, long-hair-Gav makes me happy, and I have nothing green for the 17th #badirishman.

[@229Poseidon]

It's great to hear you're able to kinda tune it out! I hope it only continues to get better for you. I love your tunes and I can't wait to hear what more you've got coming!

[@ArtJediZarith]

i glad you are fighting this and not letting it get the best of you keep up the good work. Nice music

[@Pagemaster22193]

WOh and by the way have you considered getting a fan for your room Gavin it might make the room noisy enough to where the noise won't be as noticeable

[@chaosknight8428]

sorry to hear about your tinnitus staying but glad its not going to effect you to much

[@Ericsicons]

glad you are getting used to it I am still struggling with this after 4 months, I am musician as well and this is probably the last condition a musician would want to get

[@davegrogg]

Congrats on the 10... or should I say 11 million views, my friend! It is well earned.

[@Lukos0036]

Sorry to hear about the tinnitus. I was born with it and I still get sick of it. Wish there was a cure for the stupid crap our bodies do.

[@Bodeeez]

I have tinnitus. As a kid I had chronic ear infections. A result was doctors putting in over 11 sets of Tubes into my Ear Drum. A lot of scar tissue is there. It actually resulted in a 20% hearing loss as tested by an audiologist. But a side effect was I could hear ultrasonic noises like dog whistles. I do hear ringing a lot though. And I found out actually that Fluticasone Propionate which clears out your sinuses helps with clearing out your ears if used enough.

[@dickmarrinator9057]

Congrats Gav! I know what you're going through, nice to know you won't let the tinnitus stop you. Keep up the great work. Happy 11+ Million views!

[@danteencon]

I've been worried about ya since the last vlog so it's great to hear your doing good keep up the wonderful music and i look forward to the new album!

[@eidolonTV]

wow. miracle. youre great.

[@DanicaShardae201]

such pretty hair! I like it. and I'm glad that you're happier Gav, no one wants their favorite artist to be unhappy. Absolutely cannot wait for your next song!!!!

[@RIDWAN1337]

Thanks a lot for all your efforts! Supporting you is an honour to us.

[@seahawk97838]

Great to hear from you. Congrats on 10 million views you definitely deserve them.

[@Thegamingbrosstudios]

congratulations gav good to hear from you in a vlog again sad to hear your tinnitus is going to be perminant but as you said at least when you are focused on other things you stop noticing it keep up the good work mate :)

[@voiavictor]

Keep on Gav. I one think that you are one of those amazing persons that even if life makes them problems, they still smile and keep on

[@HUGHJ99]

Sorry that your tinnitus is permanent, I've had mine for about a year and a half. Thankfully, it isn't as bad as when it first started. A white sounds machine has been great to help me sleep at night.

[@KrzyFkr]

Good job Gavin! I'm glad you're able to work through the tinnitus and do what you love doing. Kepp up the good work my friend! \

[@Lairdom]

It's actually a lot easier to sleep with tinnitus by having some white noise on the backround. I keep a fan or my computer on and whirring sound makes it so much easier to sleep. I can't sleep I complete silence anymore.

[@vonmelomane]

Glad to hear its getting better for you now! Very excited for the new album too! :)

[@OmenofBane]

Glad to hear you're doing well, and in a good place too Gav. Rootin for ya always bud.

[@chanming2396]

Gav hope you will be well

[@CaptainRed1000]

Aww Gav, I'm really sorry to hear that! I had really hoped that you would recover! Sorry to hear that!

[@SuperDracula1992]

goodluck!

[@Chokah]

Congrats and the 10mil+. Glad to hear your adjusting to the tinnitus as well Gav . If I might suggest. A friend has a similar issue, he uses a radio turned just loud enough to hear it set to static. Basicly just a bit of white noise to help you sleep. Hope it helps.

[@UptightGentleman]

I never thought to ask, actually, I grew up with it and never questioned it, as I said I thought it was normal.

[@ThePoiuytrewq232]

Your hair looks magnificent. And bummer about the tinnitus, thanks for keeping up the good work Gavin. Loving Joker's song right now!

[@Stupidiusity]

Whatever life throws at you, there is always a way to overcome it! I hope that is a lesson you will learn from your Tinnitus, Gav, cause I know how obsessive it can become (some people actually went crazy after the ringing got particularily loud). You have all my cheers! (And you can be sure I'll buy Level 3 when it comes out)

[@LordRaidenDrake]

Best wishes from Germany!

[@sudburymagic]

:) Congratulations Gav, thanks for all the fantastic music you've been providing for us for all this time. And a special thanks as a lot of Miracle of Sound songs have helped keep me sane these past few days while I go through crunchtime for my degree :)

[@ShadowSlayerB24]

Hope the tinnitus gets better! Thanks for the music it's great that you carry on despite the challenges you face

[@Zoukiji]

Keep up the good work Gav, I will be a constant supporter for someone of your talent. Just work with and make what you want to make, because that's when you're the best at what you do. Good health and well deserved views : ) Take care

[@Saberblade152]

Good to know your doing well Gav, shame that the tinnitus won't go away but it's good to know how well you're handling it.

[@jungyman365]

Hey Gav, glad to hear that the tinnitus has got easier to manage since you found out you had it, and glad to hear that things are going well for your channel and everything. Not much else to say, really. Oh, loved Best I Can by the way. Also, where did Cyber Psychosis go?

[@lordnathan1]

Hey Gav. I hope you keep doing what you love doing. And i don't know what tinnitus is like but don't let it stop you from doing what you love. You just keep making good music and we all will keep buying them. And happy 11+ million views

[@Icedemon565]

So glad you're feeling better Gav. Hope to see you create another miracle for us soon.

[@CardinalPiggles]

A new album sounds great to me. Can't wait. Glad you're doing well too

[@AXenosProductioNZ]

Congratulations with the views Gav :D Definetely going to buy some music now :D

[@SakarulaJ4F]

Keep strong bud!

[@Booper3]

So happy for you Gavin! Great that you can move past your health issues!

[@TheSegert]

im very glad to hear that you are feeling better. greetings from the netherlans

[@ItCameFromUpNorth]

Glad to hear you're feeling better Gav, greetings from Finland. :)

[@lunavixen015]

I'm so glad you're not letting your tinnitus get in the way of what you like and enjoy, I have bought all three albums level one two and three, they are fantastic.

[@BobbyBlackhearts666]

It was one of the best days of my life when I discovered your channel while playing Dark Souls. After hearing that song, several others, I just couldn't stop listening to them! They all have their unique feel to them, like their respective games. It's really incredible too. I love the music, I love the lyrics also, my native language is hungarian, but I love english, so I really pay attention to the lyrics. So, I wish you good health, inspiration and all the best! :)

[@AerodactylArmor]

So glad that you are doing better!! Excited for the new CD in April, Keep on rocking the free world Gav!!

[@yeayeayeawatev]

congratulations on 10 million views. thank you for makeing music for us and continueing even though you have this ailment. i will continue to share andf like your videos. and tell everyone i can about you its always a pleasure to hear your art :)

[@EdwardBerner]

Great to hear you're feeling better :) I really love your music and it would have been sad indeed if the tinnitus had forced you to quit making more of it. Also, I'm eagerly waiting for Level 3, April can't come too soon :)
