I have high-frequency severe T. One time I played a video on my phone to show my doctor what it sounds like. It’s a piercing shriek. He listened for a few moments and said, “Wow! That’s terrible. …Okay, you can turn that off now.” I replied, “No. I can’t turn it off. I wish I could.”

The most informational explanation regarding ringing in the ears I have ever heard. Most doctors just say it's from one source. Excellent presentation

You are the only doctor I have listened to about tinnitus who gets it. So many doctors, even ENT specialist, think there is a psychological component. They don’t present the physiology you comprehend. Thank you so much. Wish I could have a consultation.

Well now after all of these past 31 years someone understands my issues. Just reading it is so freeing. No one has every explained it so clearly. Four major injuries/traumas and all of these issues...over such a long period of time. Must keep moving...thank you.

This youtube channel should be pinned for everyone. They way the show details is so brilliant. Infact i told my physio chiropractor and vestibular doc to please see his video. Because of his video i am so clearly able to explain my issues to doctor and i am now getting better . More power and prayers to you doctor. 🙏

Thank you, again. At last, a doctor who knows how critical, how basic, structure is to the function of our nervous systems.

My neck was broken in 1991 and not too long after that the ringing began. It just keeps getting louder and more intense to include buzzing and clicking. Anyway, in all these years of searching for help, this video is the absolute best source of information in one place I've ever found. Thank you so much, Dr Hauser! 💛

A superb and highly detailed overview of some of the mechanical reasons for tinnitus. I have suffered with tinnitus for 9 years and I have come to the conclusion that my neck and jaw play a huge roll in causing and sustaining my tinnitus. After daily stretching both my jaw and neck I have finally seen some very real and measurable improvement.

If only insurance would cover at least a portion of these expenses how great would that be and so many people would get some relief . These are real medical problems and I will never understand why they’re not covered while other treatments that don’t even work are covered . Thank you for these wonderful informative videos .

This is the Best explained advice I have ever had, I have all the treatments that I could possibly get at the time, I got it 37 years ago and still suffer badly ,when over tired ,or stressed,you do learn to live with it but it’s always there.

I've been having neck pain for years, having more frequent headaches, I have narrowing of a nerve passage on the right side. At times when I get up at late nights, I can turn my head and the ringing in my ears seem to sound like a rush of fluids. Some days my ringing is intense and my hearing loss is more noticable. I believe your explanation has found something for me. Thanks.

Excellent explanation. Very clear and well presented. Thank you!

OMG A DR. THAT TRULY CAN FINALLY EXPLAIN IT ALL!!!!

This is the most amazing explanation I've ever seen about Tinnitus.

Can’t thank you enough for this insight. I have been saying for over 20 years that my tinnitus is related to my back injury and subsequent body imbalance. When l am in severe back pain my tinnitus is much higher in volume. Great that at last a professional confirmation.

You are the BEST! of all doctors i have come across in explaining this symptoms that I also suffered from for so many years...

I have had tinnitus for years. A few weeks ago I started intermittent fasting. One meal a day. I’m severely insulin resistant heading towards diabetes. Ringing is gone. Apparently mine was insulin. Who knew?

Thank you! That totally makes sense with all the neck/back problems I've had along with injuries. My frustration is finding someone to help me that understands this and can help me.

Excellent video. Very clearly explained and enlightening.

Boy does this make a lot of sense for what I have experienced on and off for 20 years!

OMG. I can't believe I found this. I have been suffering from these exact symptoms, being told its meniere's, but it doesn't go away with anything. I had a head injury a long time ago and have arthritis in my neck.

There is something so calming and soothing to me how you coordinate all the yellow. Chaos makes me incredibly anxious so the matching color of so many things is very calming... Which helps me to take in the information much better. Found your channel after being diagnosed with vestibular migraine and found many of your videos to be helpful.

Thank you for the comprehensive and detailed explanation :)

Wow This is the best explanation I have heard in all my research. I have a disc bulge between my C5 and C6 and have been dealing with horrible ringing and pressure in my left ear for 7 years now and they keep telling me it’s Maniers. I knew it’s because of my neck injury. thank you.

Thanks, Doc! Fantastic information. It aligns with what I felt intuitively is happening with my neck area and blood flow pattern thereabouts. The more available information, the less anxious the condition can become.

Excellent explanation. Thank you sir!

Thank You so much for your informative video! I just had the misfortune of seeing my GP at Kaiser who replied to me that nerves and my spine have NOTHING to do with the Tinnitus that has suddenly plagued me, when I mentioned to him that I had suffered a major skull injury 25 years ago and have arthritis on my Atlas. It took much control on my part not to tell him that he turn his Medical PHD and seek employment in a field other than medicine. He prescribed nasal spray and prednisone!! It is maddening to find that I, with my degree in Accounting am more knowledgeable than the "Doctor".

This is the best explanation of ringing in the ear I've heard. My tinnitus started last year "after" I contracted COVID-19. I had a severe recurring cough with headaches, and was so relieved when the coughing subsided, but the tinnitus remains to this day. The sound is low key muted, and reminds me of the "Pack Man" chasing and eating the prey.😌

Brilliant, with great information. Thank you. The yellow aesthetic is masterful.💐

I’ve been sick 23 yrs from various spine issues including this. The top ENT Dr in my area spent 3 hours having staff test me but no one could explain this !! Even though I’m completely fused THIS is a distraction n painful. GREAT job 🙂

This the most comprehensive and flawless remarks ever made by a competent doctor other wise most of doctor have been nincompop ..

THE BEST EXPLANATION THANK YOU

This all makes so much sense. I've had tinnitus for years. I have degenerative disk disease and sciatica. The vertigo started 3 years ago. Now it's frequent. It's nothing I'd wish on an enemy. So, now i realize that I need to take salt out, for starters. It always happens when I wake up in an awkward position too. Thank you for your videos

Very informative and well explained. Thanks

Excellent video, thank you 💪

Wow, great explanation!

Wow! You explained all my issues in a nutshell. Thank you for this. Sharing with others who have similar issues.

Thanks. Great info.

Fantastic lecture. It explains very well why I, a person with cervical osteoarthritis, who was for 3 months suffering with pulsatile tinnitus, had it disappear when one day I heard this loud crack in my cervical spine area. I must have had a carotid artery narrowing as the result of cervical instability and somehow the crack was a signal that it had realigned to a normal alignment.

Thank you so much, I have métiers disease and had surgery in 1991. Over all I am better but I also have MS so I have some other nerve issues that this video helped me understand so much better, thank you.

Excellent explanation...thank you for clarifying the cause of tinnitus❤

Wow thank you so much for this information it makes more sense now that I can understand more about what’s going on with me thank you for this information🥰

I have degenerative disc’s in my eco and started having tinnitus last October and it is now every day , very high pitched and I feel it is in direct relation to my neck problems, I am undergoing physical therapy for my neck pain and migraines from it also , thank you for this video, it explains a lot

Truely an expert in your domain. Thanks.

Excellent presentation. Thank you very much.

I have cervical stenosis and my hearing so I understand more now my nerves in my right hand numbness thank you ,excellent presentation you give......I'm in the uk

Thank you! Great info.

Excellent information thank.

This info on Tinnitus from Caring Medical is helpful I have been experiencing this for about 2 years after having symptoms of Covid

Great info. I have a back surgery and neck fusion surgery and now I have tinnitus, I never had tinnitus in the past so this makes sense !

Great information.

Thank God I literally stumbled across this very informative way of explanation. I've had tinitus for many years which has now become worse and just being told there is no cure. I am definitely going to ask for a specialist to look into it. Thank you !!

Best information ever for tinnitus wow 👏👏👏👏. I wish I can meet this doctor!! I just have ringing in the left only that is high pitch but comes and goes.

I believe my Eustachian Tube Dysfuction has been caused by Cervical Instablility as had shoulder and neck pain prior too my Right Ear getting blocked. Its been 4 weeks after my middle ear infection and still have more pressure on my right side. It has helped having long covid since July! I will now seek to tell my GP on Wednesday that I believe this is the root cause why my ears have more pressure and even some Tinnitus! Hopefully this will start to actually address the main issue now. Great video Dr Hauser! Much respect from the UK!

It is super interesting, thank you!!

Wow Amazing ✨Thank you God Bless🙏🙏

Well, oddly enough, I never had any mucus issues if that’s what you mean by asking about my use of tissues/Kleenex. I just felt tired/exhausted all the time and decided to change my diet to a healthier diet. It does work. I’m 64 years old and I feel better now than I’ve felt in the last few years. Much more energy.

Exactly what is happening to me. Soon will see doctor and have this information. Too bad you are so far away. But I have tremendous information. Thank you doctor. Is there a cure? Not crazy about invasive treatment. Excellent video? You’re awesome!

Thank you very much.

Excellent!

Yes excellent information

Thanks a lot !

tremendously interesting!!

This is excellent clinical science

Ok I’m definitely going to have my CranioSacral therapist address these issues and get a cervical adjustments

Doctor is genius

Salute to Your Knowledge

Thank you for this information. I never had tinnitus until 3 months ago when I asked the chiropractor to crack my neck. That night I noticed a very high pitch sound in my right ear and it's been none stop after that. I went back and told him, he re adjusted me but my ear is still the same..

Thx Dr. Hauser, I've had Tinnitus since I was born, and it got worse on Military service. I spent 1 yr on a newborn nursery ward and 20 Incubators all humming at once, really messed my hearing up even more. I hear those Incubators 24-7, but I also have some of the other Tinnitus hearing tones. Especially High Pitch, and I can hear my Heart beat at times. I also have a small "narrowed" ear canal in my Left ear. I wanted to say thx for teaching me why and what all this about. I've had many Ear doctors but none explained it like you have. I wish I could have a consult to see you to maybe correct or help me with this terrible issues.

Thank you so much for explaining the symptoms of possible cause of ringing in the ears.

Great Explanations....I have the pulsating type occasionally, I.e. like the pulsating heart....I also was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia...

Good explanation! Something mechanical can be my root cause as well. Right after a month as Tinnitus appeared at right side, my neck is piched terribly. With some carefull streches now is OK, sos-so. No hurting pain at least. But it taken months. I have high pitch constant buzz at right side. but neck pinched at left side somewhere C3. It also experienced temporary pause in my Tinnitus in the firts copuple of weeks right afert boxing exercise. Shacking the head at each punch. So some mechanical problem, sure, with aging-I feell cracking at C1 as well in the last couple of year.

Excellent explanation! At least now I begin to understand something more than "it's in your brain" reason and "try this or that supplement" to see if it goes away.

Really solid explanation. My dentist insists tinnitus is caused by teeth grinding. My ENT insists it is neural feedback. The dentist thinks it can be cured with a mouthguard (it wasn't) and the ENT thinks it is incurable. I'm looking into bimodal stimulation to see if that will work, as it is less expensive for me than flying to Ft Myers.

The pitch of my tinnitus changes with the movement of my head and neck. Many times I can hear my heartbeat pulsing like a swoosh sound.

My ringing is continously, all the time.

Glad to see an M.D. on this subject. I have had 35 radiation treatments for throat cancer, yes it worked however I now have tinnitus. Could this have caused it? Thanks very much.

Thankyou so much Dr. Hauser I've had ETD eustachian tube dysfunction and tinnitus since 22 yrs. No till date has explained the cause with so much precision & clarity. I've had cervical issues since a long time though nothing severe. Yet it seems chronic issues can gradually create other problems. Iwas tired of hearing it was psychological.

This the most detail understanding of what I am going through. I was told it was because of some loss of hearing.. this loss was back 20 yrs ago and now I have Tinnitus?? that is what the Ent argued that my brain just figured it out.. Thank you Bless you for helping us to understand this horrible condition.

I m from India. Thanking and greetings🙏 to Ross hauser who can explain this phenomenon very well.I am also a victim of cervical instability, and caring medical videos had helped me to come out the series of misdiagnosis for cervical instability and helped my carer to diagnose it accurately. It's an honour for me to have such a super human in this planet. Long live #Ross.... 🙏

Thank you

Thanks you for posting i think i may have some of these issues

With tinnitus, I've been so lucky. Until my 50s, it was always only ever a low grade whooshing sound with intermittent spells of more bothersome ringing that never lasted too long and intermittent accusations of suffering from selective hearing. Lol. From childhood thru 30s, hearing tests always confirmed that I have excellent hearing. Meanwhile, from a very early age, I insisted on sleeping with a fan blowing in the room for white noise, even in winter. In my teens, I went to work at a fast food joint where the radio was constantly playing and there was a constant sizzling noise f/all the fried foods not to mention the constantly crackling customer order speaker. Hearing issues, especially sound sensitivity, got a little worse, but nothing too bad. Then, in my early 50s, I started getting ear aches. They got severe enough that I was sure there was infection. Three times I went to my Primary Care Physician who would have a look, pat me on the head, and send me home like a good little hypochondriac. Finally, one day I saw his PA who took it more seriously. He tried a few things that didn't work, then sent me to a specialist. The specialist couldn't find anything wrong, either. Suddenly, I had an idea. I'd had other neck issues, so asked if severe neck tension could be causing my earache. He said definitely yes! Now, for ALL my neck related issues, I do a lot of stretch, strengthening, and self-massage exercises to relieve neck & shoulder tension and improve posture. Some of my other neck & ear issues include: intermittent sound sensitivity (hyperacusis - pink noise may help?) including, once after an evening at a loud concert, sound distortions; hearing my own heartbeat, temporarily relieved by moving my head/neck until I find a quiet position; TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome - I found exercises on KZfaq that directly address TOS after, yet again, doctors didn't want to address it); tension headaches; occasional mild dizziness; and, weirdest of all, brachioradial pruritis. MRI of neck spine has shown nothing majorly wrong with the bones, just the beginnings of a little fusion in one spot. Instead, all these issues seem to be about poor posture, tension, repetitive use injuries (like wielding a sledge hammer to do demolition work or painting the kitchen without taking a break), and the same occupational hazards suffered by most who have a desk job and forget to take breaks. Acupuncture has helped at times, sort of. That rare massage therapist who really listens was helping before she moved to Mexico. She not only provided symptom relief, but also educated me about tendinosis, muscle tension, and sticky facia. Sounds a little fru fru, but don't knock it! Some physical therapy has helped. A big help came from the following web site: deeprecovery.com. I purchased their Neck Track and some balls of various sizes and densities. I've also gotten GREAT balls at the Dollar Store! I kept experimenting. I found videos for such things as ulnar nerve flossing and other weird stuff, a lot of which actually does help. One example: I have a sock into which I've inserted a WalMart regulation "soft ball" (it's not really soft), then another, smaller ball (that is really soft) that I purchased from deeprecovery. I stack them like a snowman, using the sock to keep them aligned, then I lay on my side on a floor mat and position the side of my neck such that it's resting on that smaller, softer ball. The bigger, harder ball elevates it so that it can reach my neck. Using the weight of my head to push my neck into the snowman, I can then massage those hard to reach areas on my neck and at the base of my skull. That's just one example. This is SUCH a long comment, but offered in the hope that it helps others, especially those in rural areas with limited access to medical providers. Mostly, just don't give up. Validating, educational posts like this from Caring Medical are SO helpful and encouraging. Hang in there!

Thank you, doctor for the great presentation. Now, how to find doc near me who will listen.

MY GOODNESS EVERYTHING YOU SAID SURE MAKES SENSE DOCTOR. WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS TESTING ON MY LEFT SIDE. I CUP MY RIGHT EAR AND IT IS QUIET, BUT THE TINNITUS ON MY LEFT SIDE SURE CAN GET LOUD. Susan

As tinnitus may be related to vascular conditions, it seems reasonable to start by monitoring and, if necessary improving, one’s cholesterol (LDL), blood pressure and blood sugar levels through dietary, exercise, stress and sleep interventions.

The first time I had the worst vertigo was after my first jet flight. For months I would go to a doctor to get antibiotics and then was sent to a ENT and he said “Oh. I can have you healed in 30 minutes”. He gave me some exercises to do and sure enough! I was all cleared up! I still do those exercise every time I get the least sign of vertigo. When I was young there was a phrase people used to say. “They’re rocks are off.” Now I know what that means. The crystal’s in the inner ear are out of sync.

Wow! So grateful to have found this channel. Everything makes sense now. I am suffering for years but all my doctor's keep saying that nothing that can be done. I have almost all of these symptoms. The pulsating tinnitus is driving me insane. Thank you for the informative video❤🙏

exceedingly interesting

Thank you for this clear presentation! I only have mild tinnitus, but I have long believed that my Eustachian tube dysfunction and trigeminal nerve discomfort are caused by an old injury in the cervical region. Unfortunately, here in Ontario medical specialists (in any field) are hard to find and most of them have learnt nothing since completing med school. If you have ETD your physician will refer you to an ENT specialist who will probably tell you that ETD is not a problem, or at best will advise you to use an antihistamine. It seems amazing in this day and age that we don't have doctors here in Canada who understand that spinal injuries and instability can cause neurological issues, but that certainly seems to be the case, from my experience. I have given up hope of ever getting any sort of help with my Eustachian tube dysfunction.

I'm so glad I found this, I have had ringing in my right ear for years with repeated sinus infection on that side. Also degenerative cervical disc disease for 35 years. I am finally being being referred to a head and neck doctor.

Very interesting video. I was in a car accident when I was 14 and suffered whiplash. I didn’t know until maybe 10 years ago (I’m 48) that my neck is straight, that it doesn’t have the natural curve because of the whiplash. I also have a recurring nerve impingement at my C5-C6 vertebrae. I didn’t know that cervical instability could be the cause of my tinnitus. I really should discuss this with my neuro. I’m about to do some more research now! Thank you!

Great explanation Dr. What about the Tmj Dysfunction and tinnitus relation! The cervical instability could be the result of TMD which can be corrected by an Gnathologyst. Please explain this important subject in your future videos. Thank you again for the video.

I’ve had pulsations in my ear for most of my life, it comes and goes but definitely worse when I’m sick. Yet I have not had any injuries in my life that would have caused it, although I did have scoliosis that was corrected by a chiropractor.

I have the deviated uvula, tinnitus, visual snow, and other symptoms. This makes so much sense. I am working with a NUCCA Chiro now but plan to get to caring medical some time.

Watching this a year later... I have tinnitus(a high constant ringing). I get lightheaded from time to time. I have an inconsistent high systolic BP(one day it's good, the next it isn't). I've had a CAC scan and I have a little plaque in my LAD(index of 120). I've had my carotids scanned and their bilateral functionality was perfect. I have no other diseases, and a BMI of 18. I'm on a 40mg statin. No other medications. I'm a former athlete and have crashed many times cycling. Including a slow speed head on with a car(lucky to be alive actually, walked away. Mild concussion. Windshield glass in my shoulder). I've recently had an MRI and have spinal Stenosis, caused by a combination of disc herniation (C2-C6), arthritis, and a modic type II observation on C4. I've never had a brain scan, or a diffused MRI to measure spinal cord health. And I have even worse issues in my lumbar spine. Luckily my thoracic spine is perfect. Next week I see a Neurosurgeon. So, weird question, would cervical spine issues increase ear wax production (on one side). And would these issues cause vitreous detachment?

Have been living with tinnitus for about 10 years. It was gradual- off and on- over about a two year time span. Then it became full-time by 2011. It is a high-pitched hissing noise, reminds me of singing high-tension power lines. Recently, I had a couple days where I did not have the noise and I have no idea what made it stop. Then next day it was back. Also, I had noticed a few years ago, that if I had a lot of physical activity, such as working in the yard, cleaning house, lots of walking around, lifting or moving furniture for a day or two, exersise, it either temporary goes away or lessens to where it isn't as loud. However, later it comes back. Maybe it is a spinal/cervical connection? I used to get a lot of pain in my neck at my desk at work, but have not had that problem for a some time. Also, when I worked in a call center back in 2005-2007, I was exposed to some very loud high-pitched ear-piecing noises about twice or so per shift, that came through my headphones on outgoing calls. This noise all started about a six months or a year after leaving that job, so figured that was the cause. Now I'm not sure what the cause is.

I have tinnitus for 18 yrs now. I very well knew all that different pitch sounds inside my ears😢 It's a torture every minute and every second of my life.

Gargling is a great exercise for the Vagus nerve

Still loving all of the yellow you carefully and intentionally put into everything from dishrags to your glasses and clothing !
