Tinnitus made me thinking life over. I had to make choices I avoided so long. It brought me closer to myself. You cannot hate tinnitus (or chronic pain, or, or...) it is you. Love yourself. Meditation is a great way of 'getting rid of the daily crap', bringing you closer to who you really are. Excellent thoughts here, Carl. Very useful.

[@armandoriviere4189]

Hey Carl, what a coincidence, while I was meditating the day before yesterday, I got some relief of my tinnitus. Now I found this great message. Thanks a lot, it works!!!!

[@zeuschowie7473]

Hi Carl... Thank you for your tips... Ive had Tinnitus for over 2 years now... And my tip is learning to ignore it... When i lay down to go to sleep at night i have an air purifier... A cool mist humidifier... And of course i play rain sound on my phone near my bed... So..all those sounds create a good distraction from the ringing in my ears... I focus on hearing those sounds which are relaxing sounds... Then i fall asleep... Hopefully with some type of Miracle this Tinnitus will go away... But if not..I will deal with it.. Wishing you & everyone with Tinnitus the best!!

[@susannatubertprat9007]

Wishing hoy and everyone with tinnitus the best. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

A couple months ago I got a ear operation called a stapedectomy. Ended up with two horrible complications. Severe and relentless tinnitus. And hyperacusis. By far the biggest struggle of my life right now putting me in a dark mental state. Watching your video was very inspiring. I've been trying to practice meditation but haven't been successful to this point. Who did you think was the most helpful in teaching you to meditate. Thanks again for your inspiring video.

[@Berte_1]

How are you now?

[@alanbrooke-feather7567]

You are SO correct in this! I have been meditating for around 4 months now for tinnitus and am beginning to get better at it. I have always been bothered by the stray thoughts entering my thinking during the process and thinking this meant I was not meditating correctly but you have reassured me that this means I am actually getting things right. You have given me a real confidence boost...thanks. Alan U.K.

[@nathanpage6188]

I really appreciate you sharing this. I can't seem to meditate because my ears are ringing soooo loud. I am thankful that you shared your experience. It seems you used it more like a guide/teacher.

[@Meckanimal]

Comes at the righ time . Started dealing with tinnitus for about a year now . Came to accept it and finding a way to cope with it .I still hope it fades in the futur . Thank you for sharing your story. Using breathing techniques i learned in the book BREATH by James Nestor helps me as well

[@iamcarlpaoli]

Yea, breathwork has been very valuable. Thank you for sharing and I hope you are feeling better.

[@ankitchawrai7297]

@Meckanimal any progress?

[@outlandraider]

This was great. I had noticed some of these similarities with my own tinnitus. I'm going to try your meditation exercises. Thanks for putting this out there.

[@Syedyunuss]

In Raja yoga book by vivekananda.... When u r practicing meditation/prana yama.... (prana means life breadth or liveliness ) If u move into cosmic state u will hear a bell ringing continuous sound .... It is a sign that ur meditation is giving good results.... Next comes other peoples thought readings and next comes etc etc.... These r all extra ordinary powers ... Which if we dont get entangled in them and move on..... Then u will enlighten , then u will know what is what,. Existence, salvation, god, angels, creation.... There r many things which most of them not know and they guide as per thier knowledge and experience or ignorance..... If u care for truth god will embrace u and directs u to the what lies beyond our sphere.

I like your identification for tinnitus presence.

I had a tinnitus in April, the doc couldn't help me, but I found Zen Therapy after five days and it helped immediately.

[@jeffamoruso4301]

As someone that has only been suffering for 10 days with tinnitus, this gives me some hope. I can hear the constant INSANE ringing over TV, bathroom fan, conversations. It's been impacting me greatly. I realize that if this doesn't go away, this will be a long journey. It's insight like this that gives me hope through the high anxiety and tears.

[@iamcarlpaoli]

I’m sorry to hear you’ve been struggling with it. I trust you will be able to work with it in a way that will give you peace soon!

[@Itsjennaaaay]

Hi’ did it ever go away for you?

[@silverporsche1959]

I have the same issue, the rigging in my ears is so loud and clear. I find it so helpful during meditation, for me it opens the third eye. I am also able to raise the sound level so loud to the point where my eye and forehead will convulse. I find it a nice tool as apposed to a problem

[@sharpedance]

Thank you for thoughtfully communicating your experience with tinnitus and meditation method. I have had a little tinnitus on and off throughout life and had not thought of it as a problem until it became a constant ring in my ears at about age 58. Your words are reassuring that I can find a way to live with this with less stress.

[@juliesetten-hicks2215]

I’ve heard about these techniques many times but the way you described how to meditate was so clear and concrete. I hope to be successful as you are when dealing with the spikes of tinnitus. Thank you.

[@andrewbarnes5802]

Sorry to hear about your tinnitus problem Carl but glad to hear you've found ways of managing the pain. You mentioned on here about breathe work some time ago and at the time there was no way I could breathe in and out over that time period. With work, I'm now very conscious over my breath work, specifically nasal breathing. I wouldn't say I meditate but by listening to yourself, James Nestor and lastly, Patrick McKeown who has featured on School of Calisthenics podcast a couple of times, it has improved my health and my sleep no end. I hope that you can continue to fix these problems.

[@iamcarlpaoli]

Thank you for your concern and sharing, Andrew. Breath-work, meditation, and my hand balancing have been key to reframe and build. Glad to hear you are doing well.

[@MajaGray]

Love how you were able to reframe the ringing and now are able to use it as a tool to be able to check in!! 🙌🙌

Loved this so much thank you Carl!!! Such interesting feedback that your tinnitus gives you when things aren’t aligned or your cup isn’t “full” in certain areas. Now to apply this thinking to my daily practice, meditation is such a beautiful and powerful tool I use as one of my daily elevators. Thank you for explaining it in such a way that would make people new to it, more comfortable with the amazingness of being present ❤️🙏

[@touficfarah7075]

Wonderful many thanks. Are you aware of Sadhguru and his teachings, which help one distinguish the self from the mind?

[@sarahanderson7811]

Listening to you is comforting. About a year ago I woke up in the middle of the night with a very loud ringing in my right ear. I have it all the time in both ears but mostly in my right. I too would have panic attacks and went to many doctors. Even had a CAT scan with no answers. Finally, Spirit revealed to me that it was my connection to the energy of source/my higher self. I have found mediation has helped. I definitely don't hear it as much when I quiet my mind. But sometimes the ringing is much worse and I won't sleep for days. I came across this video the other day/ I feel spirit lead me to you. This helped explain it much better and I need to pay attention to what is going on within me and around me. I still struggle but am comforted when I know I'm not alone. Thank you, Carl.

[@iamcarlpaoli]

Hi Sarah, Thank you for sharing. Glad there is some comfort in what I shared in this video. Whatever tinnitus may be a product of, the one thing that is certain is that it can help create attention and focus, but it’s up to us to choose what we want to focus on. I choose to focus on our well-being.

[@iamcarlpaoli]

Glad to hear that.

[@concettahoughtaling4015]

Thank you for this video, I will start today with this, I just noticed this ring in my ear a month ago, and had a hearing test too, came out perfect. Usually my negative thoughts make it worse, and scary thoughts that is a signal of a bad disease. I have had panic attacks and negative thoughts for like 10 years, so I hit better and now I hear the ring. It’s annoying, but I will try the meditation 🧘‍♀️ I comes and goes, some mornings I don’t even hear it than others all day long. I have to accept it, and try to focus on other things ! Thank you 😊

[@Itsjennaaaay]

Hello, did you ever find a relief?

[@PluviophileTraveller]

Love your insight here. It makes me feel like my Tinnitus could actually serve a purpose. Whoa. I’ve also been thinking more lately about being “awareness” so your video reinforces that. Thank you!

When you do not get enough sleep your tinnitus presents itself. I've just past my 5th year with it. Eight hours is what I've always needed to be rested and well. Since getting tinnitus I am woken after five, and there's no more sleep, just being awake and tired/unrested. Your meditation advice is helpful. Thank you for it.

[@LONDONIA2072]

Thanks for the video. I’ve had Tinnitus for some years but it became worse a few weeks ago until I was obsessing about it all the time. Like you I had used meditation but started doing it more regularly and personally I think it is the key to understanding what tinnitus is and being able to live with it. And as you said it almost seems like a marker in life if something is out of balance - emotional stress, relationships, worry generally etc. To see tinnitus as something almost useful rather than scary and isolating is challenging at first but eventually very valuable.

[@tammyhachey3154]

Fatigue, (or poor sleep) and having negative thoughts starts (signals) a higher pitch /volume for me, I struggle with prevention because once I’m in a spike no meditation can get me out of the cycle. Maybe I’ll meditate more regularly but sometimes as a parent there’s no avoiding fatigue.

[@debashissikdar7582]

Thank you so much Carl. I too am worried with my condition as I seem to be having an onset of tinnitus which manifests in the form of a spasmodic buzz in my left ear when my surroundings are quite - like late at night before going to bed and early in the morning after waking. This problem first appeared towards the end of 2019 when I caught a cold. i didnt report this to the doctor thinking that it might be due to the cold and would pass away once the cold was cured and it really did in about 2-3 months time. It resurfaced in the middle of 2020 when I was very stressed with problems with my vocal cords and my voice therapist told me that these things often happen due to increased mental stress and subside when the stress reduces and it did disappear again. It has now reappeared. I am having to work late nights for the past several months and am being deprived of sleep. I will follow your advice and see if it goes away. I am yet to consult a doctor. I am interested to know if you ever took medicines or underwent any other therapy for this problem and if so, if you have been able to do away with medication/therapies with the help of this practice of meditation. Thanking you in advance Debashis
