I have had it my whole life... it doesn't bother me but I would love to hear absolute silence just to completely relax.

The ringing in my ears gets so extremely bad at night, or in the mornings when it's the most quietest around me. Sometimes I catch myself holding my hands over my ears to make the high pitch ringing sound stop. It's so damn frustrating that I almost cry because I listen to this noise all day, everyday. Day in, day out. Years of it.

Had no idea hearing loss could be this loud.

Dr. House hit the nail on the head! I have been having severe tinnitus for more than a year, but recently learned the loudness of my tinnitus is linked to the level of my anxiety, so recently I've focused on management of anxiety and I feel I'm on the right track.

Ive had it for 3 yrs now and tried everything to get rid of it and of course nothing worked. The best thing that has helped me is to just accept it and realize its not going away and make the best of and be appreciative of all the good in my life. If you keep dwelling about it everyday it will get the best of you!

As a 9 year sufferer of tinnitus I can say with confidence that tinnitus is without a doubt potentially caused by many different things but there are certainly several common issues that exacerbate tinnitus, such as stress, dietary problems, lack of sleep, muscle tension in the neck, jaw and face, vitamin and mineral deficiency and other types of toxicity in the body.

I have tinnitus from loud noise, worked construction for 43 years. Didn’t use ear protection for about half of it. I got hearing aids about a year ago, they make a huge difference, while the noise is still there I don’t notice it much of the time I have the hearing aids in. At night I use a noise machine that produces a fan like sound, helps tremendously. After a while the sound lulls me to sleep like a log.

I recently endured a head trauma resulting in a concussion. My left ear ringing increased by 30%! I’m really having a difficult time with it. Please note: If a person suffers from this, it causes the person to experience anxiety, then depression. Not the other way around.

I wasn’t depressed until I got tinnitus 🤦🏻‍♂️

9+ years of torture for me so far. Every day all day. I have to hear “around” the constant high pitched screaming. And of course severe tinnitus is associated with depression. Duh! Mine started during a temporary Eustachian tube malfunction and hasn’t left since. I’ve had the tests and attempted treatments that did not work. Doctors don’t understand this condition at all and seem to just shrug it off because there’s nothing they can do to fix it. In the meantime, their patients who have it feel like they’re going insane. This video was not helpful. We’re desperate for a CURE!

I just recently decided to search for this "pulse rate" sound I hear in my right ear out. I can relate with the anxiety part of it because, I'm constantly under pressure. Thank you for this video, it's time to visit an ENT doctor.

I’ve had tinnitus for many years yet I’ve had three independent ear tests that gave results that I have exceptional hearing.

Vertigo, loud Tinnitus in both ears all the time. I've lost my hearing so I'm unemployed as well. My anxiety is pretty bad when im all alone .

I’ve had tinnitus since 2011 when I was extremely unwell, it was so loud I could hear it over a jet engine, I was suicidal, I then decided to except it as part of me, once I excepted it the noise reduced considerably, now I have fully embraced tinnitus as my friend and a warning sign to stress and anxiety, it has dropped to a level where I look for it, where’s it gone! Unless your ears are damaged Try and stay calm reduce stress and it will calm right down. It took me 8 years to get well and understand my tinnitus. Good luck As a note, Guildford Surrey ear hospital many years ago invited the public off the street for a free hearing test including the sound room test, nearly everyone had some sort of tinnitus of all different levels, so we are not alone.

Im 20 yrs old n i believe i have tinnitus. Ive been having the worst month since it had started. Idk why it started, but hopefully - praying to God 🙏🙌 - this Tuesday I get an answer from the Doctors.

But the anxiety and depression could occur after the development of tinnitus. This is often the case with correlations -- you know the two things are related, but the sequencing of events when assessed through recollection (a retrospective study, for example) is often faulty. So in some cases, the anxiety and depression could be a result of the tinnitus, not the cause. It's important to keep that distinction in mind. You need a longitudinal prospective study to sort out cause and effect.

When I was young I was ''too cool'' for hearing protection. Now I have tinnitus and am nowhere near ''too cool'' for hearing protection. I try to explain the importance of hearing protection to the young kids at work. I don't just say they should wear protection I explain how I was too cool and try to explain how much the constant ringing/ hissing sucks. I'm 56, I've had the ringing for more that 20 years and I have a lot more years to listen to it. Oh and the hearing loss is the icing on the cake.

Really helpful information! Enjoyed watching it!

Thanks for the info .

I have it 4 years nearly, horrible symptom ,would not wish it on any one, prayers for peace 🙏 guys ,nite time so hard,,,no sleep

I use a small portable clip on music player with over the ear ear buds on my ear and put ocean wave sounds and soft music on it 24 hours a day even while sleeping. Works very well.

I’ve been having tinnitus for about a week now. I have left side, neck pain, and the worst part is,I am also suffering recently with depersonalization syndrome. The feeling of being in a dream like state when you’re awake, is maddening. I also had a brief swishing sound in my ear. I have an appointment with my doctor coming up. The anxiety is immense.

Your utmost dedication towards your work has gave me full confidence, Dr Abiola, sometimes we do need trust to with a great sense of humor to get things accomplished, I never thought there would be a way to get rid of my Tinnitus Buh you made that possible.

Sorry but I don't believe only 5% of tinnitus sufferers are bothered by this problem.

My problem was I had a severe anxiety disorder due to tons of stress, dont get me wrong, never happened before and Ian 40. That caused a decrees on one of my brain neurotransmitter called GABA. That developed an non allergic rhinitis, extreme with pressure on my chest and problems to breath, extreme anxiety plus panic. 100 or more sneezing every 12 hours. That caused many whiplashes in my neck. That changed the structure of my cervical bones and putted pressure on the nerves that cause eustachian tube dysfunction which eventually rocket launched tinittus. Upper neck Cervical instability is real and cause tinitus.

Such a nice person. I'll listen to him for hours. He explains so well.

Hi all recently diagnosed last year at 21 I’m now 22, mine was caused by stress and it can be very loud at night. I’ve found listening to a podcast really helps. I listen too white noise as well. ❤

It’s funny; I’m watching this in the middle of the night - as my tinnitus is extremely loud right now. Being linked to depression or emotional distress honestly makes a bit of sense the more that I think about it though. I got this months ago, and it’s basically been from one source of stress to the next since then. I don’t listen to loud music, and the only issues with my ears that I’d ever had before this were ear aches from not cleaning my ears - 8 years ago - and my ears being naturally sensitive. Mental stress is the only cause that really makes sense at this point, since even after 3 trips to the ENT, they’re still seeing nothing. I’m also getting an MRI soon as one final check to see if my ears are really fine, or to find the cause of the Tinnitus. Gah

I have had Tinnitus for over 30 years, this was due to me working in a noisy factory! It is like 50/100 budgies tweeting in my ears! There is no cure - yet many blogs on You Tube stating they have a cure for it! What upsets me is that no one can see your defect and many make fun of me in the Tinnitus effecting my hearing, lack of hearing! It also effects ones concentration and one trying to get too sleep! Wouldn't it be great/fun to be able to transfer ones tinnitus hearing to others, so they can hear in what us suffers are going through! Even for just an hour, respect then maybe given? Great honest blog - Many thanks!

Thanks very much for this video. I didn't know there could be an anxiety or depression component to tinnitus, so I'm going to work on it.

I've had a high pitched ringing in my ears for several years now. I discovered by accident that if I cup my hands firmly over my ears and open and close them every few seconds (making a kind of wah wah noise) for 30 seconds or so, that the tinnitis reduces quite a bit. I do this at night if I'm having trouble getting to sleep. It's only temporary but it reduces the noise enough for it not to be overpowering. I've never mentioned this to anyone so can't be sure if it works for anyone else. Try it, maybe it will work for you.

My tinnitus has gotten so bad that I was having trouble falling asleep at night. It was manageable during the day because there were other sounds and noises going on, but when I lay down and try to go to sleep all I could hear was the ringing. I happened to stumble upon a AMSR KZfaq video for sleep. This particular one had crickets chirping like a soft summer night sound and an occasional owl hooting. I tried several of these and finally found one where the pitch of the crickets was the same pitch as my tinnitus and they cancel each other out. Luckily this is a 12 hour sleep video so I can turn this on and sleep all night without the screaming in my head!

Excellent vid on this ear condition, many thanks indeed. Very useful. It is so good to hear a Doctor pronounce Tinnitus in the correct Latin way. Americans mis-prounouce it... it is of course the Latin for 'ringing'

I have a neck injury and I had a bad ear infection when I was young... loud music was the last straw... I would just love to enjoy the quiet...

I noticed that quitting caffeine lowers my tinnitus considerably. I've had it for over15 years in the right ear, it started after a bad ear infection. It's a very high pitched white noise type sound, exactly like what you hear the day after you go to a rock concert or night club. It's been stable however and I don't think I have much hearing loss if at all. It used to stress me out a lot because I thought it was a precursor to deafness but I saw a doctor and she told be the 2 were not necessarily related. Now I mostly don't notice it unless I'm thinking about or I drink a lot of alcohol or smoke weed.

It bugged me at first but now I just live with it. I can tell you it is horrible. I've had it for over 20 yrs. Too much loud noise at work since teenager. Protect your hearing

I've had tinnitus my whole life, and the noise is constant. I can remember sitting on the couch when I was 4 or 5 just listening to what I thought, at the time, were my ears. My tinnitus sounds like the old CRT TVs--the ones that have the big picture tubes--when they're first turned on and are warming up. Since I've always "heard" the noise, it's never adversely affected me.

Very interesting indeed. I had an inclination that this was the case. I suffer from high anxiety and depression, and I also suffer from insomnia. My tinnitus has been worse these last few months and several outside influences and tragic events have happened in that time. I have been turning to meditation and calming exercises in the last couple of weeks but I have a ways to go to be rid of and heal from a time of bad life experiences. This information confirmed what I had suspected. Because I recently took a hearing test and have great hearing.

Thanks Doc, that made sense when I have higher levels of anxiety the ringing gets worse

This is crazy. Left ear feels clogged, having whooshing sounds. Anxiety here. Depression setting in due to this being the first holiday season without my mom. This is a very informative video. I’m seeing my doc in January. Thank you.

I have tinnitus for almost eight years. Six weeks after an accident wich causes traumatic brain injury I was summoned to get to work. It was all too much too soon and my brain got overloaded. After the accident I could listen to music, but after I was back to work I couldn’t listen to music a long time anymore. And my heart lies in the music.. 😢

WOW, so very well explained, and helpful

This past year has been the most consistently stressful, horrible experience I've had to endure. Depression and anxiety, chest pains... And now I have this tinnitus. Just broke up with this person. I hope it improves;(.

I am in my 70's and have had tinnitus since my high school days. I realized long ago the affliction came from my shooting on the school rifle team. Back 60 years ago, we did not realize the danger of even the sound of a 22 rifle affecting our hearing. Being right handed, my left ear was closer to the muzzle, so my left ear is the worse. Later in life, I very stupidly went shooting with a friend under a metal roof at the range, again without thinking about hearing protection. WOW did the bang from our deer rifles, crashing back from that roof hurt my ears. The tinnitus became much worse right away from that. It has been about 30 years. I have learned to ignore the constant ringing and it does not affect my sleep. The biggest issue is hearing my Wife talk. Her voice has been proven by a hearing specialist to be in a range I have the greatest trouble hearing. Yet, I can walk through the forest near my home and hear all the sounds the animals, birds and light wind make. I observed a comment from a man who drank a table spoon of cider vinegar in another comment here. I will try it and let him know if it works for me.

What a wonderful doctor.

Thank you for the nice explanation.

Bothers me every day of my life for 8 months now. Pure torture! Someone find a cure! Please!!!

I think I'm pretty sure I'm in the 5% with normal hearing--no hearing loss. The times I'm most aware of it are after my body has been cold by being outside in the cold, especially after swimming in the ocean. Of course, in any situation where the topic of tinnitus comes up, then there it is, I hear it, it's fairly loud, like right now. I just gave it no attention until I reminded myself I have it. It's actually pretty amazing to realize it's there all the time.

I blame the start of my tinnitus on that Springsteen concert at the LA Sports Arena in 1986. Then there was that night at The Factory in WeHo about 20 years ago. What a dolt! I should have left immediately. I appreciate Dr. House’s no-nonsense presentation here.

Didn’t know about the connection with anxiety and/or depression. I have had it since I could fire a gun and go to concerts. Did some work on depression and started living a quiet life. It went away. A few years ago stress in my work and one loud bang and it was back. So yes it sucks, I usually goto bed when I can’t stay awake else I won’t fall asleep without help. Nearly impossible to concentrate, have background classical music helps, Chants are good. Have earplugs nearly all the time if I’m alone. Haven’t tried biofeedback yet.

I have tinnitus. It's my own fault. I shot a lot of high caliber weapons without ear protection thinking I was invincible. Every so often, for about a 1-2 seconds, it stops and I can experience pure quiet. I love those moments! What he said is correct in my case. I don't particular think much about it unless it's quiet, and doesn't affect my life in any real negative ways. It's just there.

A week after a flight with a bad head cold, which was quite painful due to inner ear pressure, I developed tinnitus. Not just a coincidence I’m pretty sure. When I first went to a specialist his first question was does it bother you. I said no. He said, great, coz I can’t do a thing about it! That was 10 years ago. Those cicadas just won’t leave.

This August is my 15th Tinnitus anniversary. After the initial year of living in denial that there's no treatment out there, I moved on and barely noticed that noise. But in the last 4 years the noise went from being 6 on 10 to 12 on 10 in both ears. I've also become very sensitive to loud tv noise, can no longer go to the theatres and can't even place the phone over the ears while talking. It's loud to the extent that the ears pain sometimes. It's that bad. Unless there's even 10% recovery from there, I find any kind of information or analysis on the subject to be useless.. with all due respect to those trying to research.

Thanks. That fills in some blanks for me. I looked this up because my ears are currently ringing off the wall.

I have had tinnitus for many years. I always wear ear defenders when operating machinery or when for example mowing the lawn. I live in a rural area which is very quiet. Occasionally my tinnitus disappears for a day or two and I am blessed with true silence but it gradually returns. I have noticed it comes back, or gets worse, after long car journeys with prolonged cruising at steady speeds. I am convinced that, although a motor vehicle is modern and seems quiet the acoustics within some vehicles may have high energy standing waves that have the potential bring on my tinnitus.

Had my ears messed up in the military, they have been loudly ringing for over 40 years now 24/7. I would love even a single hour of silence. My only relief is when I shower, it magically disappears while in the shower. I’ve tried noise apps that have shower sounds and nothing can replicate the relief I get in the shower.

Great video !

I have had to live with severe tinnitus for twenty five years plus, it’s an awful high pitch whistle caused by working in noisy locomotive cabs, I’m death and wear two hearing aids which helps when communicating with people

Tinnitus is not just caused by loud noise. It started with me about 30 years ago after a scuba diving session in which I had a major problem clearing my ears. I had severe pain while trying to clear. It started within a few days after that incident.

8-14-22. In a week I will have a naet treatment ( naet ) for my tinnitus, and I can’t tell you how extremely excited I am as I look forward to it ! Even if the treatment does not get rid of tinnitus 100%, at least it will be better. And “ better “ is fantastic to my way of thinking. I am turning 78 in a few days and have been plagued with tinnitus for the last 50 years. It is so bad that I no longer talk on the phone for its interfering with my hearing.

This explains a lot, I had massive stroke Dec 2019 now I have constant tone in left ear. Stroke affected RT side.

I've had LOUD tinnitus in both ears for over 45 years. It doesn't bother me near as much as the hearing loss does. It's just something I have to live with.

I've had tinnitus since at least my teens, 40 years and counting. I can still hear little/quiet noises better than many other people around me.

The Temporal lobe is a significant part of the limbic system. Now there is some truth in what he says however he is really discussing what increases the tinnitus and gives advice regarding reducing it and NOT what causes it and why it stays. There are so many causes apart from continuous loud noise. Meniere’s disease, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, Head injuries etc. blood vessel disorders linked to tinnitus, medications that can cause tinnitus, head injuries, ear bone changes and so on. Why it continues has to do with 'MALADAPTIVE NEUROPLASTICITY' and the basic function of the central nervous system. I've written a paper as part of my research 'MALADAPTIVE NEUROPLASTICITY AND IT’S RELATIONSHIP WITH AUTO NEUROSENSORY FUNCTION'. I am working on a therapy system to eradicate tinnitus [in some instances and/or considerably reduce it] and will be starting clinical trials on the 1st of July. I will keep everyone posted.

My tinnitus was caused by my spinal CSF leak. I get a lower pitch of tinnitus when I have Intracranial Hypotension, and a higher pitch when I go into Rebound Hypertension after an epidural blood patch. There's a sweet spot between the two states when I do not hear tinnitus.

Thank You very much

I am doing "Shunya mudra" and "Prana mudra" for my tinnitus and It is helping me a lot in calming down the sound as well as it helps with hyperacusis. It's also very simple and easy to do.

My noise is so loud when I'm stressed and quiets down a bit when I'm peaceful.

My tinnitus is almost gone certainly alot alot better as I was suicidal at first. I got it about 5 months ago from an expolsive music event. What I learned is the ear gets drawn in like to protect itself thus taking all the tiny bones in the ear out of alignment. So I constantly massaged my ear by using coconut oil and working my finger deep in the whole and working it out and wide. And then get behind the ear where it joins to the skull and get in there. Keep at it. It's taken me months of every day work but it's almost all better.

I developed tinnitus a couple years ago seemingly randomly. No hearing loss. It was very bad at first, I heard multiple different pitches and wooshing, which were different in both ears. It has somewhat subsided over the years, I can live with it as It is though.

He is great 😊god bless.

When I asked my GP about it he told me it would eventually go away as I lost my hearing in my old age. The chiropractor made a comment about going to too many rock concerts while I was young, I’ve been to maybe three in my entire life. I’ve been suffering for about 20 years and mine is in both ears and a constant staticky tone. When other noises are prevalent, I don’t hear the sound.

I have depression and anxiety. I never thought of the 2 being related. Thank you. Also: I have been taking Lipo Flavonoid for several years. It reduces the noise down to about half, making it tolerable. You can get it over the counter in pharmacies in the eyes-ears section. It is expensive but worth it. Hope this helps

Thanks doc. I don't notice it unless someone brings it up or when I have the flu.

My tinnitus started in my left ear as on and off ringing in one ear after my very first DVT and no hearing loss, then after my final DVT it became apparent in the other ear, and at the start, it was disturbing so much so that it caused years of Vertigo and Meniers disease, loss of hearing. I have suffered also from panic and serious anxiety attacks. I have hearing aids but they do not help with the tinnitus! I attended as a one of patient a group for tinnitus sufferers as their is no cure for it! I have had loads of hearing tests with audiologists whom point out my deafness. I cannot hear so well the normal auditory noises that I'm supposed to hear, but hear the workings of internal machinery and know when an airplane or helicopter is due to fly overhead, because I hear it at a long way off, in short I hear the pitch of noise that others do not hear at all...strange but true! Tinnitus leads to a lonely life, because I've spoken to others with the disorder and they say the same, people have not got the patience to put up with us, or to speak on a level we can understand by talking one on one close by, preferably looking directly at us. In groups of people all talking at once, this sounds like being underwater or gobbly gook. Hearing aids unless having a component that facilitates tinnitus does not help but amplifies the condition which is permanent! The hospital group I attended many years ago after getting over disturbing vertigo attacks said that treating the tinnitus as a friend rather than an enemy would keep the tinnitus at a level of non disturbance..I tried this and it worked. Tinnitus that is raised to a level so high pitched as to almost drive one crazy is an eg of something not being right inside our bodies, and is alerting our attentions to this fact! Years ago the high pitched frequencies did disturb me so much so that I had to sleep with the radio on low to absorb the background noise..In todays age the tinnitus is very bearable.. Meditation is relaxing and helps me a lot! High frequency noises are a hazard as is music played too high, this sets off the tinnitus. In the daytime I have to listen to moderate to low radio waves which help me forget I have the tinnitus buzzing away....it sounds just like static electricity from pylons...buzzing equally in both ears 365 days all around the clock! Non stop. If for any reason the frequency is raised so too is my reaction too it, it means I'm becoming stressed by it, and something isn't right somewhere in my body! At the moment it's levels are bearable! Unless someone actually has tinnitus themselves with hearing loss, they will never understand how a permanent sufferer feels, and will suggest clueless remarks to them! This condition and others I have through no fault of my own, has left me at odds with many people including family members whom do not understand it at all! I find enjoyment in my alone time and with the many hobbies I have, as opposed to being around others! I have been accused of being aloof and standoffish, not completely true, but of which I largely ignore, because I'm fed up of having to repeat myself! Thanks for sharing!

A veterinarian mentioned that consuming colloidal tin might help with the ringing of the ears. It keeps the little hairs flexible and standing up.

I feel so sad for my dad who struggles quite badly with this

It used to come to me time to time since childhood and it wasn't affecting me, but 15 days ago it started and getting worse every day to the extent that I couldn't focus or even sleep normal.

Thanks 👍

I had tubes in my ears as a kid and was prone ti ear infections. And then military too, i noticed it as small buzzing growing up but as i got older, its been an intense ringing that get louder over time and its like complete sensory overload. High pitch noises working in server rooms, gun fire from ranges and screaming.

I've had it for decades but only hear it when I think about it.

Some thing that is helped moderate the tinnitus that I have, is good quality noise canceling headphones or earpieces.

Good to know that because I've got anxiety disorder get the ringing in my left ear

I suffer from tinnitus several times a week. Sometimes it feels like it's traveling from one ear to another and at times I have a sensation of fluids or fullness in my left ear. I was also told that I suffer from Meniere's disease and I also have Sjogren's Syndrome, which dries my ear canals and makes them itch constantly. I wonder how many sufferers of autoimmune disorders have these problems also.

I've never known a moment of true silence in my life. As far back as my childhood, I always heard a certain, high pitch. The nurse in my elementary school would tell my mother I had hearing loss. I didn't. The tone they were saying I had missed was in actuality the one I always heard, so I disregarded it in the hearing test. The last time I spoke with an ENT specialist about my tinnitus was extremely frustrating. After several hearing tests, he told me to do my best to ignore it and sent me on my way. It's fascinating that it has now been found to be originating in the brain, rather than the ear.

I work in random shifts. And when i didnt sleep well or get tired i heard it more.

I have had tinnitus for 43 years, which started after I went into a coma for 2 days after being run over. I live well with it, but if I stopped, I believe it would be very pleasant to listen normally again.

I have had tinnitus for about 20 years. After 10 years, I figured out it was due to a reaction to food. After that, I realized it flared up if I had a lot of alcohol, carbs, or sugar. I've been trying to figure out what herb, vitamin, or nutrient could counter it. I tried everything, and it would not go away. I knew it was some sort of inflammation due to my diet. Then one day, out of nowhere, I woke up, and there was no ringing. But how? I ate ice cream and had a beer the day before. My ears should be screaming. Then it hit me - I had been taking a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar for a few nights. It was somehow toning down my ringing. By the third day - it was silent. I need to keep investigating this - but it seems it has something to do with it. Right now, I have a very low ringing, but I haven't had any Apple Cider Vinegar in a day or two. If you try it and it works, please let me know. Cheers

Mine started when I took the antibiotic Cipro. I've had it for 30 years. It ramped up in volume for a couple of hours one day recently and I was in a panic as it was absolutely unbearable, torture, but fortunately went back down to it's usual more lower volume hiss. Depression and anxiety has nothing to do with mine. And giving a personality test used by psychiatrists is ridiculous.

I have had ringing in my ears for years. I have MS. My MS is in my brain with lesions. I didn’t have the ringing when diagnosed. Wasn’t until years later. Would that be a factor? I also have diabetes, anxiety and muscle tension. I do not have any hearing loss. I manage to ignore it most of the time. But of course night time, when quiet, more difficult to ignore. I get MRI’s of my brain every few years. Could it be seen on those images?

It seems like tinnitus can be caused by various things, but also various things can be done to get rid of it. I've heard of people who have had tinnitus by noise trauma but they have changed their diet and got rid of inflammation and the the tinnitus has gone. Has anyone else here experienced this? I have had years of bloating issues and I think I am lactose intolerant, so I am hoping cutting it out will reduce my inflammation and help my tinnitus. I have also done allergy tests and white sugar seems to be an issue.

I have tinnitus but I don’t have anxiety or depression

Two years ago I was leaving my office and I suddenly had a loud ringing in my right ear and noticed that sounds had a robotic/metallic quality. I went to the doctor the next day because the ringing was so loud I couldn't sleep or concentrate. The doctor couldn't see anything physically wrong so referred me to an ENT. After about 2 weeks-before I was able to see the ENT- it started to fade and eventually went away. It was miserable and I have great sympathy for people who have been dealing with it for years!

I was diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera about 2 years ago. Last week I was "blessed" with Tinnitus. My Hematologist said that Tinnitus is a result of PCV, along with quite a few other uncomfortable symptoms. I've used a white noise machine for 20 years due to my insomnia so when the Tinnitus started, I didn't notice it when I was trying to sleep.

I have adhd and anxiety problems. I'm 30, got tinnitus after a big infection on the throat on ears and sinuses. And after the medication. Mine is loud. But I also had tubes put in before I was a year old. But literally just got tinnitus. The pain part is true. My wife checks my back for pimples sometimes and after I got tinnitus, any pain intensifies it. It's linked to our emotions and pain receptors. This is interesting. I'm not even mad, just annoyed lol

Approximately 15 years ago I caught the flu. It was the worst case I ever had and I saw two different doctors. I took Advil and Tylenol every day and I was vey congested. Finally when the flu passed bingo I noticed the high pitch sound I learned to be tinnitus. To sleep I run a fan on the end table by my bed. I am very grateful that in all the years I’ve put up with it the volume of it hasn’t gotten much more. Other sufferers have not been so lucky.

I am not depressed or have anxiety, do have a lot of pain, but my hearing loss and tinnitus come from acoustic trauma while serving in the US Army Infantry, hearing protection was not an option most of the time, so I would like to see something about the causes of that, wakes me up, changes pitch and volume non stop[

Sounds like a high pitch constant whistle, never changes!

THANKS SIR for trying to find a cure. Huge respect! I hope you will find an effective cure! Thanks again!!! Respect!

My hearing is perfect but tinitus suddenly came on me about a year ago and it is destroying my life. I do belive it is from at least in my case depression and anxiety life for me as for everyone is stressfull.
