Be wary of "if I don't do this I won't get better!"

If you are feeling vulnerable or desperate with tinnitus, please pace yourself and put calming, soothing, therapeutic support mechanisms in place first. Once you feel more robust you can then maybe start things such as fasting or cold showers. Take things gently, follow your gut instincts and common sense and please do not do too much. Try things out and then stay with what helps you. Everyone is different. We all have different needs. The underlying mechanism is when you feel safe, calm and on top of things, it is normal for your nervous system to downregulate the alarm bells. Be wary of grasping onto too many different things and feeling you need to do them or else..... You will get better if you aim for feeling safe inside yourself. Safe contact, safe people, safe practices leaving you feeling well inside.

I see videos created by Julian as the most effective comfort and cognitive therapy for people with tinnitus!

[@pullman5250]

You’re a tinnitus GOD .. thank you for all these wonderful videos you keep posting, if it wasn’t for your expertise on tinnitus we tinnitus sufferers would be lost in a desperate struggle.you make us see the light at the end of a dark tunnel. Bless you.

[@Anita-silver]

So important to be gentle and calm. Nothing good happens when I push things. Thank you.

[@jesusramos2231]

Thank you for making this video, Julian. You're absolutely right that if you're feeling like you need to make sure to do a bunch of different things on a list perfectly and some may be really hardcore, it creates stress and anxiety. I know bc I'm doing such a program so I'm going to remember to relax and do things gently and not sweat being perfect about everything.

[@TommasoGreco]

Absurd. You uploaded this video right today during which I've been thinking too much about the things I should start to do for healing. It's the right day for me for listening to your advices. You're right: one thing at a time!

[@stonie-uu3be]

Hi Tommaso. How are you today with the tinnitus?

[@sams81]

You are a wonderful person. Thank you Julian!

[@hannad.2104]

You're so helpful. This is such a great reflexion about how the human brain works and how this relates to the tinnitus. I totally agree with your vision. Thanks again! I'm slowly making progress thanks to you! I trust my common sense as well.

[@LuisKemmerich]

Thank you!

[@GOGOLH]

You're a treasure, Julian. Thanks for all you videos!

[@pokebliss]

thank you.

[@deantonna]

Great advice- as always -Julian, T is stressful enough without launching headlong into extreme fasting regimes.

[@Italianwoman-fz9cj]

I really needed this i dont know what I would do without your videos looking it up it scares me thank you so much

[@pius3685]

How are you now

[@KathyMcDevitt]

Julian this is such a great video! I was feeling this very thing trying to do too much and trying to do it perfectly.

[@aimhigher7805]

Hello fellow tinnitus sufferers, Funny story how i got mine, 3 weeks ago now, i was smoking marijuana late at night and my dad comes out saying hes got tinnitus, i asked him whats that and hes saying its a ringing in his ears, i go back to my room, then i hear the ringing... and it hasn't stopped since, freaked out for 2-3 days and went to an audiologist, and they said it cant be helped, started doing my own research and came across Julian, after a few of his videos and a couple of days to adjust and realize that it is just a symptom of the unhealthy lifestyle i live,(smoking,drugs,diet,exercise,emotional stress ive held onto which i didnt even think was there and normal day to day stress) , have also found that if you can get into a deep-state of relaxation it can kinda fade out but also affects the following day being much quieter, simple massage by partner could achieve this, i have made some changes to my life style and the noise has significantly dropped away, im hoping to tackle these greater demons/habits shortly and hope the tinnitus completely falls away even when im listening for it. Many people suffer from it ive just found out alot of my friends parents have it. thank you Julian i will spread the knowledge.

[@user-ye9hn7tb2z]

We have the same experience. When I learned about Tinnitus through googling online then I went to quiet room and tried to hear it BOOM!!! I heard it and since then my T did not go away. So now I am in the process of rewiring my brains !!!

[@alanalang3591]

How are you now?

[@faizannaseer1901]

How it is going?​@@user-ye9hn7tb2z

[@rimahaddad8074]

Thank you julian for always giving us this safe place to go to . I personally feel much better just listening to you . I had tinnitus 5 months ago and already read your book . Still need to buy the recent book tho , I tend to have loud ear- piercing sound few times a month and the other times it's just bearable . I want to believe that there will be time where I'll just stop hearing this sound at all.. I can't go fasting tho because of my stomach ulcer . Did you do fasting to get rid of yours ?

[@melodyebuskin5490]

Omg, you just described me!

[@saidayad6790]

Hi mate , great video once again ! Looking forward to our next Skype session in a couple of weeks time. Thanks , from Sydney , Australia.

[@bookiejones4916]

It really is getting your head around that T is a stress related symptom and that rushing around in a desperate state to find things to stop it is the worst thing you can do because it just creates more anxiety and hence more adrenalin and cortisol in your system. I suppose it is a process of gradual lessening of the symptom than smashing it away into orbit.

[@pf316984]

Hi Julian. So glad you posted this video. There are a few people on KZbin ( you know who they are ) that have good intentions but also affect those that are most vulnerable with this condition, myself included. Thanks again for all your assistance over the years. Mike.

[@jdunn101ify]

Mota Mike Good point, getting very wary of a certain other person posting about this on KZbin on a very "follow my advice or else" aggressive attitude.

[@martineacott9330]

I have been following your posts and advice for a few months now and really feel an improvement, not only in tinnitus perception, but in mind and body generally, most likely as a result of yoga practice and self care. One thought I keep coming back to recently however is whether the tinnitus is the whole problem. Are other issues still processing for which tinnitus gets the blame. Have any of your videos covered this Julian, and is it a common trait? Perhaps a more accurate way to describe the feeling is, "is tinnitus really the problem today? Am I tired, irritable or disappointed with something for which tinnitus is getting the blame without looking at the actual issue?"

[@eveb843]

I will wait to hear from you before I call, just incase you are with a client... Best Wishes Evelyn.

[@eveb843]

Julian, Would Wednesday be convenient to call, if so what is the best time for you? Thanks Evelyn.

Hello mr Hill, i come from Germany, sorry for my english, i have yesterday a root canal treatment, and my Tinnitus is lauter, it is normal?

[@tm4913]

O get tinnitus a lot when I first wake up why.

[@michaelmccormick296]

Hi juilian, is getting spikes normal? I thought I had mine under control but now it's spiked and noise has been so loud for a week now,really getting me down

[@alanalang3591]

How are you now?

[@djvirtudazo5027]

Hey julian,is still possible to get rid of the T while under medication?? Im currently taking 0.25 clonazepam.. Thanks..

[@JulianCowanHill]

Yes it is. I still recommend yoga or tai chi and having a good hands-on therapist to help you settle. This can work through the meds.

[@djvirtudazo5027]

@@JulianCowanHill thank u so much julian and will do seek hands on therapist soon..God Bless..

[@mxluke1104]

Hi julian. Alot of your videos seem to be aimed at people who have just got tinnitus. I have had tinnitus now for around 7 years and find every time i have a spike it feels like i just got tinnitus again and it really gets me down and depressed,even tho i have managed it for so long. Is this normal ? as i really seem to struggle every time it spikes,and it allways spikes with stress never loud noise ?

[@kimberleyjc1994]

In the same situation!

[@geoffm4003]

Me too! 7 month spike after 7 years. Anxious and very depressed worse than initial onset.

[@eveb843]

Good morning Julian I messaged you while you were on holiday, asking when you were back and you told me, I want to come and see you and fully intended to do so, but I am worried you are not going to be able to help me, I have had t every day, all day all night, sometimes 3 or 4 different noises/ sounds at the same time for around 11 years, so I am worried to hear you say there's nothing you can do for me... Evelyn

Please call me on 07910 315167. Of course you can get better. We just need to get your fear and activation levels down.
