Why & how you can recover from chronic tinnitus (not just manage or cope with it)

Please never stop uploading. You fill me with so much hope

Tears flowed as I watched your video. I remember the October morning I woke felt a pop in my ears and then heard tinnitus. I thought it would last a minute or two and disappear. That was 18 years ago during a period of incredible stresses. Most of that stress continued for another decade. After a significant change in my life I broke down. About 7 years ago I started enduring episodes of vertigo. All the while my tinnitus was with me. I’ve seen many medical specialists, but it was a physiotherapist who has helped me most. He also recommended you. I’m learning to mend myself and your video and its methodology I’m hoping will help. I know it’s in me to go back to that balanced and positive woman of old. Kind Regards.

42 years of tinnitus and have always been told the just deal with it... Found your KZbin channel because of ongoing PPPD issues for the last 2 years. During this time, the tinnitus became louder. Now I have a goal to get rid of my PPPD issues and the tinnitus.

Awesome!! Well done! Not only is this great for tinnitus but the way you break it down is amazing. And wow, there is just so much overlap in chronic pain, chronic dizziness and tinnitus. Can’t wait for all of this knowledge and techniques to become mainstream! Thanks for the pioneering work you are doing in that ❤

[@lisaottosson4935]

[@farleydbk]

I recently heard an interview with you on the curable app and I’m so glad I found you! My tinnitus started 5 years ago after an extremely stressful year. After it started, I was hyperfocused on it and determined to make it go away. I can’t even begin to tell you all the doctors, alternative practitioners and protocols I tried. I happened upon the mind body world a few years ago, but mostly that is about pain, so I didn’t think it applied to me. My symptoms were tinnitus and some other odd neurological symptoms like a weird whoosh sensation in my ear/brain when I am between sleep and waking. I haven’t been able to fully convince myself that this could be tms, but hearing you explain it I am coming around. Looking forward to diving into your other videos! Thank you!

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Welcome!!! I am sorry you have to be here right now but you are totally in the right place.

[@riverofwellness]

Wow! I have just come across this video! For the first time after three years of really distressing tinnitus and trying everything to find some ease, I have never listened so intently, or heard such an amazing description of how and why tinnitus is heard. This video has given me a new sense of hope and understanding. I will listen on! So very much appreciate all that you are doing to help.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

You are so welcome, I'm so glad my explanation made sense to you.

[@randynavarro6101]

You are the BOMB Dr Yo! Thank you for this video. I’ve never had any kind of dizziness or tinnitus until a few years ago go when anxiety went thru the roof! Thank GOD the anxiety has gotten WAYYYY better now just dealing with the lingering symptoms, seems like they don’t wanna go away…

[@22cobbie]

I have both chronic dizziness (after a severe BPPV vertigo episode a year ago, diagnosed PPPD by neurologist) and tinnitus. Am also dealing with PTSD from a dog attack 3 years ago. I feel it's all connected. Sounds are part of my PTSD. So that was an interesting connection to make today. I do think I had a little bit of tinnitus before, but it's a lot worse now. This gives me some hope that I can tone it down. Thank you for all of your videos! I'm going to do the free course soon!

[@TheSteadyCoach]

You're in the right place!

[@simonwood1853]

Thank you so much for such an informative video. Gaining the right knowledge and understanding the symptom really helps and helps deal with the fear which is such a major component of tinnitus. Thank you again for all you do!

[@AnitaPerrine]

Over analyzing the sensations turns up the volume and keeps you sensitive . Catch yourself and Just let it be!

[@kevincinar]

I ve had tinnitus for 4 years now. It all started from that. From that point I had several physical symptoms that led me to anxiety and panic

[@TheSteadyCoach]

You’ve had such a tough few years. Much love to you. Hang in there.

[@israeloliveira9750]

Thank you so much! Everything falls into place now... when I was suffering from chronic dizziness, I had tinnitus very frequently, nearly every day... sometimes 3 times a day. But they only lasted for a few seconds. When I got better from dizziness, the tinnitus happened less and less frequently. Today I still get some ringing in the ear every now and then, but sometimes I barely notice it or don't really pay my attention to it. It happens very randomly, and very rarelly.

[@belovedbytheKing]

Wow this is so very interesting. I've had tinnitus for over 30 years - it developed a few months after my dad died. Then 3 years ago I suffered from Sudden Acute Hearing Loss in my right ear and became deaf in that ear overnight. My tinnitus increased in volume at that time and the dizziness remained along with hyperacusis in my left ear and misophonia in situations with loud music and vibration. I don't fear the tinnitus nor have anxiety about it. But I can get upset at church when the music is constantly too loud and the vibration is overwhelming (they won't reduce it.) I look forward to learning more to see if I can recover more from these challenging issues.

[@carolinemorrison-ot4fc]

For me the ring comes on suddenly. My ears will have alot of pressure that day. The ring comes on and if I notice it and adjust my head or neck posture it fades back out after a few secounds or minutes. I believe it is on a day where I have high sensitivity to sound and the higher pressure in my ears. Sometimes I have a moment of hearing going out and coming back in a secound or two. Always involves the increased ear preasure feeling. I have not had all day ear ringing. I feel for the people that do. Now I understand it. No doctor has explained it. They just log it into their computer file. Thank you for this information. Very helpful!❤

[@ninaandroski8858]

Would you recommend not using a white noise machine? I use one so I don't have to hear the ringing sound in my ears at night when I'm sleeping and it's really quiet. Is using this just reinforcing to my brain that there's something wrong? Should I stop using it?

[@wendylocke4537]

Thank you for your insight, Doctor. I was diagnosed with Menniere’s after almost 14 years of periods of violent vertigo. I had a procedure to my left inner ear several years ago and the vertigo stopped until a couple of months ago. I now have very frequent episodes of brief spinners with simultaneous buzzing in my left ear. My ENT and neuro-otologogist say it will be difficult to identify the cause. I’m also seeing a neurosurgeon in case it has a cervical cause. I’m hoping to learn more to get to the bottom of this.

[@DiamondForevah]

Thank you dr.Yo for another video. I got pppd and tinnitus after my doctor told me to cold turkey Xanax and after 3 years I’m still here with many symptoms. Will you ever make a video for people like me who got sick after a cold turkey? It seems for us it’s more difficult to recover.. I’m not dizzy anymore but if I move my body head or eyes I get so fuzzy and tired with brain fog I have to nap

[@mal-nx6xs]

I heard that I should be extra careful when it's a low sound. Is that true?? I had this weird low sound for 30〜40 seconds and it disappeared. (I feel like I shouldn't be thinking about it too much for my mental health lol)

[@kaustavhalder]

My tinnitus happens when I get too anxious. Already done the audio tests and all came out clean. So mine seems to be anxiety triggered. Its like a long high pitched sound always going on and on. But after doing a lot of calming activities for months the Tinnitus has gone down a lot. Probably as you suggest I learned to ignore the sound and make it not that important so the brain learns to negate it as it negates so many noises our bodies make like chewing food.

[@arshmaanali714]

I experienced anxiety for approximately two years, with numerous symptoms manifesting during the initial phase. These symptoms would last for a few months before subsiding. However, over the past year, I've been experiencing persistent internal tremors and continuous moving sensations. Initially, I felt these sensations physically, but now they're primarily visual. Additionally, I've been experiencing various eye symptoms, including: 1. Visual snow 2. Persistent afterimages (where images remain in my eyes for a few seconds before disappearing) 3. Visual motion disturbances 4. Drowning sensations when assuming specific postures I also experienced tinnitus, but it subsided a few months ago. Unfortunately, the other symptoms persist 24/7 .Would please guide me whether all theses thing are normal?

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Visual symptoms and snow are common here. Of course you want to get medical clearance before assuming they're neural circuit symptoms, but here are some relevant videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWGpZ6GVhqdnn7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5iXn5iid5mAi8k

[@leonkennedy3398]

Unfortunately i went deaf from the start of my symptoms so my tinnitus can't be fixed. Although my Cochlear implant helps minimize it

[@lisaottosson4935]

I have learned that impaired hearing or deafness doesn't mean that you can't get rid of the tinnitus at all, it's still the brain doing it and the brain can be retrained!

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Leon, you're part bionic (we audiologists think cochlear implants are super cool)! While the "neural noise" is a lot higher when you don't have any function in one ear, there is still brain interpretation involved. From my perspective, the brain still has the capacity to understand that neural noise differently. I hope the tinnitus is just annoying and not very discouraging and distressing to you.

[@leonkennedy3398]

@TheSteadyCoach ya I just embrace it and it's rarely an issue for me. Become friends with my tinnitus:)

[@lisaottosson4935]

[@justinsheehy1]

I know it's semantics, but I get tripped up on the phrase"prediction error". Particularly the word "error" Technically, the brain isn't wrong, it's actually working the way it was designed. it's just in a heightened state of vigilance. Therefore, its action may be distorted, by being highly attentive in a way that doesn't serve us well.
