If everyone else could hear what we hear then I'm sure more research would have been done long ago and a cure found!

true, I had a friend who had severe tinnitus and committed suicide few weeks ago :(

[@Star_Jewel_Realm]

Agreed. More research definitely needed especially in how the brain react to concussions and other type of physical trauma.

[@margarance]

I have had tinnitus all my life and it is one of my earliest memories. My sister is the same. Finally (after many years of being told there is no treatment) I have had a hearing test that confirmed hearing loss and recommended bilateral aids . I’ve talked to my sister and recommended she be tested as well. We both grew up thinking everyone heard the same noises. Mine never vary, never recede. My perception of it varies according to the attention I give and my level of concentration on other things it but ultimately it is a constant in my life. I would love to experience total silence.

[@adriennedunne1748]

Me too. I have to be out in traffic noise for it to diminish. I crave peace and quiet but can never quite get it. 24/7 and on it goes 😔

My husband tells me to just ignore it, I’m trying to learn how to do that.😢

My Mom had Tinnitus for over 40 years! She once told me that the noise use to sound like a plane in the backyard. She also had many other issues. HB/eye problems, Kidney infections, heart problems, etc. She was 89 years old when she died. She was very loving to her Grand and Great grandchildren. She died 6/1/2023. I was her caregiver for the last 3 years and was happy she was out of her misery. It was difficult to see her suffer because she was really a nice person who loved us and our children. The last thing was when she turn and fell off the bed and broke her elbow! My Dad died afterwards on June 14th. He stayed until she left. He use to cook for her and make sure she had breakfast. He also had the same issues except the Titinnus. He was 94 yrs. His memory was excellent! He would remember back in 1940's! They were married for 68 yrs and had 7 children. I learn Pure Bio Energy method of healing that did give her an ease with the noise.

I drink no caffeine nor do I take any pain killers although i was a Alcoholic for 27yrs. I've been sober for 12YRS and 10mths now . I've had tinnitus for 4 years now . Most a high pitch squeal in my right ear . Mine is at its worse when I awake from a sound sleep . I've gotten to the point that I can mellow it out with music or by writing poetry and short life stories . Sometimes I catch myself looking for the sound . I pray for a cute for us all daily . GOD BLESS YOU ALL

[@lauramaeda7214]

I have had 24/7 tinnitus since 1982. I also have multiple health conditions where tinnitus is a potential side effect. The major factor of bothersome tinnitus for me is anxiety and stress. I guess I need to monitor my other conditions to see which conditions exacerbate my tinnitus and make changes in my behavior to reduce its severity.

[@Maintain_Decorum]

1. Caffeine and Nicotine (increases blood pressure) 2. Common medications (pain killers, antibiotics) 3. Alcohol and salt 4. Poor sleep 5. Leaving hearing loss untreated

LOL, same here. I have lived with tinnitus ever since a few back to back concert events combined with irresponsible headphone use in the 70's/80's but hardly ever notice it in my day to day life. I only realize how loud it is when in a quiet environment and since I now usually fall asleep the moment my head hits the pillow, even gave up the life-long ritual of going to sleep with the radio on.

⁠@@garnerjazz58bless you, i just got Tintinus about a month ago. I’ve been reading and watching Utube videos to help me deal with it. My husband got it 2 years ago and I saw how it changed him, he’s able to cope with it now, bless him. He told me it’s in the brain not the ear and that I need to just ignore it cause my brain will think I want to hear it. I’m scared cause I’ve seen what it has done to my husband. So I’m trying to find things to help me ignore it and to cope. I tried listening to the sound videos to help with sleep but I felt like it made it a bit louder, I sleep with a fan just to concentrate on the fan noise instead of my ear noise. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I’ve had tinnitus for many years, and i had learned to live with it. I thought EVERYONE heard those sounds when it was silent. But, in 2021, I had THOSE vaccines and within days, my tinnitus had become louder, especially the spikes. It has never got better. I wish I had NEVER had those wretched injections. They were/are poisonous.

[@randal_gibbons]

It wasn't the vaccine. You probably got COVID and were asymptomatic. There is a link between tinnitus and COVID but nothing to support a link between tinnitus and the vaccine.

[@87Rado]

I've been dealing with tinnitus since I was around 10-12 years old (now 62), it's very high pitched. The first thing I noticed was the quieter things are in a room, the louder it is. Because of this, I started playing environmental sound CD's at night. I found what works best for me is, the sound of ocean waves, no music, no birds, just waves at low volume, full bass and low treble. Been using this since my mid 20's and sleep good 99% of the time. That said, I've noticed my tinnitus has gotten worse since getting the covid vaccine, but I have not caught covid.

[@CBrolley]

mRNA “vaccines” have caused a lot of problems, many of them much more serious that tinnitus. Don’t get any more boosters.

[@wildriver7133]

I'm almost unvaccinated, and I have had COVID multiple times. The reason I'm unvaccinated is I'm allergic to Polyethylene. I'm also a US veteran, and the VA health service sent us all a memo in 2020 telling us not to take the vaccine if we're allergic to any of the ingredients! I said I was almost unvaccinated, because in the day, in order to keep my job I was required to be vaccinated even though I knew I was allergic - I almost died.

[@dawnkrajenka2521]

My tinnitus was caused by a dramatic change in my pain medication. I had covid in 2020 which scarred my lungs and now I am on oxygen therapy, which affects my blood flow; I take medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, over active bladder, anxiety, pain management, advanced neuropathy and I suffer from the results of a malignant tumor on my right perotid gland, and I could still go on. Sleep is a "concept ", and I'm so tired, all the time. That's my reality. If not for my faith, I know I couldn't make it. Thanks for your videos and for listening.

I have moderate to profound hearing loss and have Oticon S2 hearing aids. Being a rock n roll drummer for much of my life was what I believe the cause of my hearing loss. I have had Tinnitus for the past 20 plus years in both ears. Something strange is when I had Covid, I noticed my tinnitus was completely gone. Although it was only temporary, it was such a relief not to have that constant ringing in my ears. But it came back of course. In my next life...I am wearing hearing protection 24/7. ☺

[@claudioriotti-riotmtbexp]

Same here! When I see people at concerts, especially kids, with no hearing protections, my heart sinks! 😢

[@alancarlyon340]

I have had tinnitus for 40 years now, due too working in a loud factory! I turned to drink because the buzzing in my ears were so loud, I could not sleep! I had a hearing aid, but only used it when being with families and friends, because my ear hurt at the entrance of my ear! I have excepted that there is no cure, so one has to handle the frustration of the buzzing! I can go weeks with no buzz/ringing of the ears, then I receive a spike that lasts for weeks! I do not add salt to my food, but I do drink a lot of coffee. This might be a coincident - But each day around 5pm, after tea time, I lay on the sofa facing east, when out of the blue my tinnitus starts up, yet once I stand up and start working around the house, the tinnitus stops? My spikes of tinnitus has improved over the years due to me creating drinks that I think helps! I stay clear of sugar, I use honey, lemon, cider vinegar, cumin/black pepper, turmeric, garlic, avocado, nuts, yet stay clear of red meat and take away! Use traffic light system on food packages when shopping! Keep away from the red! Doctors don't have all the answers to our body malfunctioning - I love using KZbin and finding answers to my defects/ailment/s!

[@rolandlickert2904]

My tinnitus always gets louder in the evening and after night's sleep it gets less sometimes I can hear the blood pulse,

[@cruisersism]

At night it is always quiet less busy and the day is always louder, this is why you notice it more at night time. I read a head massage for 10 min helps with it. Worth a try.

[@nawtyturnipp787]

Tinnitus is a pretty crappy thing to suffer from - but I have found all the things that you mentioned in this video have an effect on my tinnitus in one form or another. If I drink too much caffeine my tinnitus freaks out and its the same with booze too, although fortunately I dont drink too much. But also if I dont sleep too well its the same thing - loud tinnitus. I wouldnt wish condition thing on anyone - its really not great.

[@Star_Jewel_Realm]

My audiologist said my tinnitus originated from a concussion I suffered when I was eight years old. He suspected it was triggered by damages to my inner ear. It is inoperable and permanent. 🙂The best we can do is manage the symptoms as best as we can.

[@andrewwatson5360]

I have tinnitus 24/7 but very rarely notice it as I just dont think about it. However it does get intrusive and quite loud when someone mentions it or as in this instance it pops up on my KZbin feed as an informational video. As it was by Dr Cliff's channel I decided to watch and possibly learn something new and helpful. Not a good decision as I now have jet engines screaming in my head and its going to be a long flight until I can get my brain to lower the volume. Im not complaining as its just part of life that you need to accept and learn to live with. I have had friends who didnt have hearing problems or tinnitus but have passed away. So although it can be annoying its not a big deal in the bigger picture and I find its best not to think about it and then it fades into the background. Takes effort and practice to stop your brain hearing unwanted sounds from the past but it can work most of the time and tinnitus only becomes apparent when under some stressful situations or when I read or hear the word.

[@shorty7363]

Fans or other noise machines like tv or radio are always on so I don't have to hear the ringing inside. Maybe try those things.🤷

[@andrewwatson5360]

@@shorty7363 Thanks for your advice, much appreciated. However my tinnitus doesn't bother me at all usually as I don't think about it. It's only when it is mentioned in conversation that I become aware of it. I've had it for over 40 years and it's not going to disappear anytime soon. I don't worry about anything that I can't control or change so I put it out of my mind. Tinnitus is generated by our brains which can be trained to ignore or reverse some perceptions. E.G. mirror imaging. It's just mind over matter.

[@markdecker6190]

Sounds like (no pun intended) like we're experiencing the same things. Mine is a steady whine sound and unless I think about it I don't pay much attention to it, and I'm able to sleep just fine without noise generators. All that said, I'd kill for just five minutes of complete silence!

I'm 75 and have had it since about age 26 , non stop. Had a low ringing on and off before that. How bad is it? Real bad. Loud , most of the time. Been taking Gaba 750 mg. once a day for about ten months now. Also, have gotten the blood pressure under control. One of the two, or a combination of the both is working because the ringing/hissing sound is lower. Somedays, yes it's high. Who knows what triggers it? I wear ear protection while doing anything that makes loud noise. Loud noise always makes it worse. Also "wind." Riding with an open window in the car will make it worse later on in the day. I've heard pro and con about the supplement, Gaba. For me, I think it has given me some relief. I've had no side effects and it's inexpensive. So, whether it's my lower blood pressure, or the Gaba, I'll keep taking it. Took over 6 months of daily use to notice a lowering of the noise. Maybe it's all in my "head", huh? Anyway, hear's my advice to everyone that's going crazy because of the constant noise in their head: Look at it as the cross you have to carry. Life isn't fair . . . period. Most of my friends are in the cemetery. Others are crippled. Some in nursing homes. I'm a Vietnam combat vet and life-long rough carpenter. I'm lucky to be alive, that's the way I look at it. God bless. Stay strong.....

Thank you doctor for the video and the information and education. My ringing can be excessive and fluctuate intensely. I do have pretty extensive cervical stenosis which has contribute to this greatly. With that said, my question is regarding salt. I don’t eat fake manufactured salt I don’t eat boxed and prepared foods that aren’t foods at all. I do use organic Celtic sea salt as a nutrient in pink Himalayan salt. Would you consider these to be two types of salt that would increase my tinnitus? Thank you if you see this and reply, may the Lord bless you and keep you and your family always. One.

[@wildriver7133]

One thing you didn't mention, that I have found, and I don't know if it affects others is: Wi-Fi We lost electricity one night and I had the best sleep ever, since I had stopped OTR truck driving! I wondered why that was. Turned out to be Wi-Fi. The second I turn Wi-Fi off in my house, the buzzing in my ears STOP. Now, I turn off the Wi-Fi every night (to my ISP provider's dislike) and sleep soundly with no tinnitus symptoms (loud buzzing) in my ears! Whenever I'm out of range of a strong Wi-Fi, the buzzing lessens, and is completely silent when I'm outside working in the yard or field - we live on an acreage. I am healthy otherwise and take zero medication, nor have I taken any medications for years! You may want to check out this phenomenon for other videos.

[@wildriver7133]

In addition to powering down our Wi-Fi, I also shut off our cell phones and store them overnight in a Faraday Can, so they don't affect my sleep. So, it's worth an investigation if you'd ask me; because I cannot be the only person in the world that gets tinnitus from strong "radio" signals.

I've had my tinnitus for 2 decades. It never varies, only my attention to it varies. I notice you always call it 'tinnitus perception'... very interesting.

[@markdecker6190]

What I hear is just like the ringing you get in your ears after a sudden loud noise such as a gunshot, but it never goes away. In general it never varies except a few times a month when it might change pitch and sound different but then it clears up after a minute or two and goes back to what it was. I have been diagnosed with mild hearing loss because when in noisy settings conversations are hard to make out. So ever since I've had this, I have made good use of hearing protection even if the noise isn't all that loud, but especially when using power equipment, even a vacuum, as well as in the movie theater (simple ear plugs). My tinnitus and hearing loss isn't getting any better but it appears not getting any worse either.

[@oluwadayoolubode8050]

Same as mine, the problem with mine is that I can't even consult an ENT Doctor because my family couldn't afford it. And I love music a lot, esp. jazz music. Goodbye to music, such a shame.

My Tinnitus has increased greatly over the past 2 months and I don't know why. Many times a day I have the sensation in both ears, at the exact same time, many times during the day, of a squeezing pressure-like sensation that hurts and for a second or two causes dizziness. This is a radical departure from my decades of Tinnitus which has always been a low buzzing sound. SInce the symptoms are a radical departure from normal, I best go see the doctor.

[@user-vv7ye6xk2g]

When l lost my hearing on my right ear, my ent doctor told me to take vitamin b3, stay away from noisy places. He also told me that my hearing on my left ear was decreasing. That was his help.

My tinnitus sound like airplane engine, 24/7. God help us!!

Avoid stress. I have tinnitus due to mid frequency hearing loss due to exposure of loud sounds. Tinnitus is far worse when I’m under stress.

Don't worry - my own content calls me out on my bad habits that make my tinnitus worse, too! (Haha) Happy to have you here.

[@outofcompliance1639]

I have had it for 40 years, it is loud, but I only notice it when someone brings up the subject of tinnitus.

[@jamesmoore1456]

Put up with tinitus for decades and hearing my pulse is fun too..went to doctors for help. Lots of tests. No help have t been back..

[@djmarion8074]

The only thing that makes my tinnitus worse is time. It started back in 1998 as a slight buzz, and progressively got louder. It is around 2.4 kHz.

[@pedrocols]

I had an episode of vertigo. Visited my primary doctor. Visited the audiologist. Had an MRI. I reported tinnitus. At the end the doctor told me I just "had back luck" about the vertigo. After the MRI they found nothing wrong. Go figured.

[@Pablo-hu6lq]

Is there any promising research to cure hearing? 

[@alphaomegastables]

My Tin-NI'-tis...is loudest when I wake up at night..to go Pee, bc of my BHP problems!! I also have had HBP for years, ..getting lower by losing weight & walking!!

[@TimeSurfer206]

"Caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and salt..." I don't do two of those at all, any more, those are the alcohol and nicotine. I HAVE noticed that my tinnitus seems to worsen dramatically when I am horridly dehydrated. I am also starting to wonder about the role parasites might play.

[@DubeyjiRailway]

What is treatment of ANSD?

[@mariamercy7317]

Just what I needed to know. Looks like The Lord placed this informative video in my path in perfect time. Recently, I have been hearing like the sounds of rushing ocean waves 🌊 in the atmosphere. I love the ocean but not the constant sound when I'm trying to sleep. 😂

[@jeansroses7249]

I wonder what He will tell you to do or take to get rid of it; please post it here

[@julieseier4201]

I had it look at a long time ago they tested me on the maneuvered no they can't fix it

[@julieseier4201]

They saw what it was doing to me

[@julieseier4201]

I don't like fire works

[@julieseier4201]

I use to listen to music and did video tapes it bother it in loud noise can't go on trips it bothers me in car and boat airplanes

[@sitaramprabhu6004]

Can we take calcium tablet or magn or nuerobion tablet

[@dhc4186]

Nice presentation, however, nothing really new learned. Does anyone know why tinnitus gets worse after a nap? I have read of a few others experiencing this in comments, but never discussed by the experts!? Good luck out there with all you experiencing tinnitus. I like my hearing aids with built-in AND adjustable masking sounds. Also, it can never be said enough times, ALWAYS protect your ears from loud noises by wearing adequate hearing protection when required!

[@annmarierogers791]

Im going to give up coffee lessen my salt intake, my lack of sleep i have no clue how to improve, ive tried so many things! Ive had tinnitus since 2018

[@grimacres]

All good if you actually can afford insurance. 61 years old and still no insurance that is affordable. My solution to tinnitus is to keep a steady flow of sound going into my ears. I sleep with headphones on.

[@user-qn5os9gq8i]

I’ve had it since April one. Seeing an audiologist next week. Bt I only hear it wen I’m alone

[@digitalchris6681]

What? Give up coffee and red wine? Nah, I'll tolerate the tinnitus....

[@user-ck8zu9tm1o]

I was told that wine, women and song exacerbated my tinnitus so, I gave up singing.

[@vladi6569]

My man! 😂

[@priyankaaugustusvlogs]

I have hearing loss and tinnitus in both ears and I can't use my hearing aid because it make more louder wat to do n also have some other health problems...

[@kevinmcnamara704]

I have it 6 years and 8 months a horrible symptom, stay safe everyone, get a hearing aid to mask it,,don't listen to loud music, best wishes for you all, 🙏

[@janne2744]

I've had tinnitus in my right ear since a car accident many years ago. It settled to an acceptable level and the vertigo eventually disappeared. I have long covid, two years and this last year, another two noises. Another hiss, along with the usual and a noise like a squeaky wheel. My hearing is OK but the noise is too much added to the already symptoms of long covid. My neck and shoulder that side are problematic due to overuse. Wondering if that's anything to do with it. In the uk so no choice in treatments etc.

[@houndmother2398]

I think mine is originally from being on antidepressants for years. I noticed one spring after a particularly bad allergy season that my tinnitus got worse. If I could do one thing to improve my health And the health of other people it would be to find a cure for this. I'm just so tired of it, its been over 10 years.

[@janetcorbin2642]

A friend and I took antidepressants for years, now we both have it, she a month before mine in 2022

[@rachaelcookaud2695]

A lot of research is now confirming that the same mechanisms/neurotransmitters responsible for anxiety and depression could also be why tinnitus is noticed more in some people than others. Tinnitus is much more intertwined with the brain overall than we initially thought.

[@cheryllightfoot2260]

Thanks for pronouncing the word correctly. A lot of people pronounce it wrong. I find that annoying.

[@roseallen2439]

Also, people have a condition called hyperinsulinemia. I believe it's called insulin resistance. Eating a lot of carbs and sugar causes my tinnitus to elevate.

[@junknapper]

Aspirin sure cranks mine up.

[@trevorbright9493]

There appears to be some evidence to suggest contracting covid makes tinnitus worse. Mine definitely is as I now can hear it during the day as well as at night. The only other explanation is starting on Digoxin around the same time as getting covid?

[@jefferyneu3915]

Tinnitus, in my case is bearable while wearing hearing aids. When I take them out in the evening, the tinnitus increases significantly. I take a medication that causes hyponatremia, therefore, I have to make sure to eat more salty foods than in my past. I have experienced symptomatic hyponatremia. I have will gladly accent increased tinnitus to avoid hyponatremia. As annoying as tinnitus is, it doesn’t compare to hyponatremia.

[@joshuablovsky1744]

Just wait till it gets worse. You have no idea.

[@mskat1954]

I have given up. Loud crickets in both ears. Just try to drown the noise out. Years now. 1st started with exposure to an F5 tornado. Ear pressure was incredible.

[@shaytate]

Do you think yours is middle ear spasms? MEM. Mind is crickets too.

[@tehblizz]

I've been advised to take Duloxetine (SNRI) but it has tinnitus as a common side effect. The doctor was telling me that it was related to the possible increase in blood pressure and it wasn't a direct but rather an indirect possible side effect. They told me that a lot of common medications have tinnitus in the side effect list because of the same reason. Have you had any experience with clients using this type of antidepressant? Any further input on the topic you could give me? Thanks!

[@SandyBurris]

I am right now reading a prescription of side effects from Duloxetine wondering if it has caused my Tinnitus to increase so dramatically. I've been off of the drug for 4 weeks and still have worse Tinnitus.

[@richardgilbert1430]

Bupropion, the Doctor neglected to inform on side effects, of which, tinnitus is the most common side effect, as reported by the manufacturer. Shame on this doctor.

[@dianaherring8594]

Good to know. I take both meds mentioned! See PCP today!

[@tehblizz]

@@dianaherring8594 Almost 3 months in and I'm doing super fine, tinnitus hasn't changed in volume/tone but I'm doing much better overall!

[@seabreeze7378]

Wow how did the algorithm know my tinnitus is raging tonight? Stress because my dog is anxious and having an issue 🤷‍♀️

[@Swechh_Soul]

I have tinnitus in my right ear that exactly falls into the rhythm of heartbeat since November 2021. I also feel a split in my right jaw every time I chew some food. Is there a cure for this?

[@gallaghim]

I've had a mild-moderate ringing in my ears for as long as I can remember, but can't recall when it started. I think my hearing itself is okay, I had a hearing test last year and the guy literally said I had the hearing of a teenager (I'm middle aged). I did go to quite a lot of concerts in my youth without ear protection, and played in a band for a year or two, ditto. But I don't feel my exposure to loud sound is anything much out of the ordinary. I haven't been to any concerts for a few years. What's weird though is I don't know if it has gotten worse lately, or if I'm just noticing it more. I'm wondering if my long term taking of high blood pressure medication is causing it.

[@knotslip8862]

Thanks for the video. Just curious why you didnt mention Meniere's disease? Its definitely a cause for tinnitus and directly related to salt intake and the severity of tinnitus.

[@rachaelcookaud2695]

This video was intended specifically to point out things people may not know they are doing that can make their tinnitus worse. Ménière's disease is not preventable so it was not included in this list, but salt is certainly a factor in Menieres disease symptoms.

[@julieseier4201]

I got bit under control on it I am doing exercise here at home

[@saminasolangi1941]

I have since 3 years hearing loss top don't know what should me do

[@alisalavine1052]

You didn't mention autoimmune tinnitus. Diseases that been damage the TMJ can lead to this type of tinnitus: psoriatic arthritis, axial spondylitis, ankylosing spondylitis. There is also autoimmune tinnitus w/o spodyloarthropathies.

[@redfaman]

1. Loud Noises 2. Headphones/Loud music 3.Head injuries 4. Caffeine/Energy Drinks 5. Medications such as BC powder and pretty much anything age related.

[@juliejohnson6753]

Ever since I was a kid, I thought the saying "silence is deafening" was real. 😢 In 2009 I was diagnosed with Fibromuscular Dysplasia. It explains a lot, but there is no cure.
