How to Let Go of Tinnitus by Julian Cowan Hill 

This guy knows exactly what he is talking about. It's all about the nervous system freaking out. Get relaxation in your life and the tinnitus WILL reduce drastically.

a legend was born

Thanks Justine. I appreciate a lot your sentiment here. Yes there are some really negative people out there looking for somewhere to dump their venom, rage, and mistrust. This is just fear. I had no idea what I was letting myself in for when I vowed to do my best to help others. I don't take it personally, thank God, otherwise I would never expose my experience on a forum like this. The point is some people will take my advice and get better. The others are free to stay stuck and miserable if they want. I hope they find something that helps them.

I'm so glad I found you. You give me hope and walk me out of the darkness I sometimes feel.

very interesting. I agree tinnitus intensity is linked to nervous system. I heard it's often sensitive people who suffer from it

Hi Julian, I had an extremely stressful 2 years in work due to a situation there. I now have tinnitus. I have no doubt this is what caused it. Thank You very much for your video. God bless you.

Flare ups for me are often caused by loud noises. Just yesterday I had the volume up to the maximum on one You Tube channel because the audio was not good and went to another channel and it was so loud! By the time I lowered the volume it caused a flare up. Brothers and Sisters, let us not panic in these situations and God Bless our dear friend Julian for helping us!

I am very lucky as I have the satisfaction of helping many people let go of their tinnitus. I am happy to report that I still have a life without tinnitus too, after 20 years of symptoms. Your audiologist should be pleased about that. My information is based on my own experience and the experience of over 500 people I have helped. I hope you can hear that. I wish you and your audiologist all the best.

Julian - I am a recent sufferer and find your series of videos most enlightening and refreshing. Thank you for your work and for your willingness to go above and beyond to help others. It is most appreciated.

Increased resistence can lead to tinnitus worsening. Letting go helps reduce tinnitus. Best wishes Julian

I'm surprised by the few people who talk with sarcasm or anger to this guy who obviously have a passion for helping people, and genuinely promote himself in his videos. He's not forcing anyone to buy anything and he's even suggesting to try something else that suits you better. These people confirm his theory, cause they obviously have emotional issues, and so distrust and denigrate others. I wonder if tinnitus is caused by a physical damage to the inner ear cells or the acoustic nerve, why do deaf people has it? And I'd like to ask to the people who with confidence affirm that it's a physical damage that's involved: what test have you been given to actually verify your physical damage? Have you been given an acoustic test and then told you have a physical damage, because if you like scientific evidence you should ask for something more reliable, like a sample of your damaged ear cells to see under a microscope

Just watching Julian’s videos makes me instantly feel more relaxed and my tinnitus calms down. Mine stared after an ear infection and also after a bout extreme stress - I now do 10 minutes of meditation every day via the Headspace app and it seems to settle the tinnitus really well.

You might have temporary tinnitus, but it is most likely to go away by itself. The best thing you can do is relax, focus on feeling comfortable and finding as much well-being as you can and it should back off. I would try not to worry about it and get on with other things. Best wishes Julian

I agree. I lost half of the hearing in my right ear from loud noise exposure and developed tinnitus for a good month afterwards. However I no longer have it (once again) having learnt how to let go of it by normalising it and then shifting the focus away from it and then dropping my nervous system into a deep state of well-being and stillness where the tinnitus backed right off. How's that for a quick reply!

When my tinnitus started in May of 2008 it was severe and frightening. One of the rays of hope I found on the Net was this video that you produced. I took your advice and it was a great help, Julian. Today I'm 100% better. Tinnitus is hardly noticeable. I still believe, like you say, that "tinnitus is a temporary state." One day it will be completely gone! Thank you for this wonderful video!

this recipe saved my life from tinnitus

Mr. Hill i almost cried when i listened to this video. Thank you so much for offering this information. I suffer from several different noises all of which have different intensities and vary from time to time. One that is especially irritating is a pulsing noise (not like a heart beat) but rather like morse code. I was just getting used to my monotone noise and now this. I am 24 and had tinnitus since I was 18 and I have been in and out of depression since. Many thanks for sharing with us.

Julian you look so different here. Old video and short beard. Thank you for all your videos you have made. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

I had blood cancer treatment for the last 2.5 years including bone marrow Transplant and tinnitus started 5 months back. I believe it may due to my newly developed sinusitis/ nose and ear blockage. Now I am trying to get out of this problem. As per my yoga Guru's advice, I started focusing /meditating on this Devine sound and made it as my Devine friend. Initially, I had no sleep for many days and my health was deteriorated. But after my Guruji's advice, now I made it as my friend. As said in bible, There was Word (sound)and Word was God and God was word. So if you have Tinnitus, before treatment the first step should be the acceptance of this sound. Dissolve and meditate in this sound do not be enemy to it.

There is an article on the net, in the Irish times, this guy got it for 10 years, he started meditation which at first didn't work, but eventually it ALL went away when he practised every day. It has to do something with your nervous system. I got tinnitus when my mom got diagnosed with cancer, it's no coincidence...my tinnitus is still here, but the spikes are almost gone, everytime the high sounds go away after a day(it used to be a week), the next time it's less and less, very strange...

I don't know what to say about this, but I can say that all this advise about the nervous system and the let it go sure does work. Not sure whether it works for this sort of symptoms but it is good for other stuff. Thanks.

Thank you! Just by listening to you my tinnitus perception is lessened. I just started reading your book. Thanks!

Physical sound is translated into electrical impulses by the cochlea. Beyond this the auditory cortex of the central nervous system translates these electrical impulses into hearing. If our internal sensitivity is turned up too much we start detecting all the nervous impulses of the central nervous system as sound, rather than just the physical impulses from the outside world. Deaf people have a pulsing central nervous system buzzing with nervous innervation. This is heard as tinnitus.

You gave me hope. Thanks a lot just for this! I'll keep on to follow your channel.

As for my name, it might seem pompous, but it is just a way of reminding myself that I can overcome whatever may happen.. Such as with tinnitus. A positive attitude makes all the difference, and your video's strengthen me in that belief :) Kind regards Alex

What I have reported in this video is taken from direct clinical experience. When a person's central nervous system comes out of fight or flight in many cases tinnitus backs right off. This is true for my own story and for many of the people I work with. Please contact me directly or look at my website for further information. I think you may have some trust issues that would be good to unpack in therapy.

There may be something in this. I have had tinnitus for 20 odd years and it never really bothered me. Just over a year ago I put myself in a very stressful living situation. One day, after a few months, the ringing became unbearable and soon after I had electrical clicking noises added to it. On top of this hyperacusis. Two things help me. Drinking alcohol - it relaxes me and the noise in my head lessens (not a healthy therapy), the other is EFT, emotion freedom technique. Im looking at meditation to destress.

Everything I say is true and is taken from my own direct experience. My advice to you is to find people who have let go of their tinnitus and learn from them. This may help you. Saying it is a bunch of bull without understanding how they did it is not a strategy that will help you let go of yours. You are entitled to keep your mind closed and stay stuck in your tinnitus if you want to.

Sorry to hear about your mother. Life can be really challenging sometimes. Until you can afford therapy or counselling, the best thing you can do is hang out with close friends and talk lots and hopefully get support. Also you may want to consider joining a tai chi class or yoga. This is not expensive at all. After a few classes you will know how to practice these amazing body practices yourself. They will help you more than most other things put together! You will learn how to relax deeply!

I got tinnitus symptoms after a sinus congestion attack 15 days ago. I had to completely redo my diet, start meditating, exercise, and Allegra DAILY. Doctors told me to continue taking the Allegra, hot showers, keep my self cleaned out. But 15 days and it's the most annoying "cricket" sound if I'm really quiet. It's so HARD to let go of the sound at night. The day is fine. But when I'm alone and it's quiet, I CANNOT let the sound go. I'm trying to move on. This is all new to me. I already was a high stress, high anxiety person....so maybe I was already setup for this, and the congestion episode made it all come down crashing. This has literally changed my life in 14 days.

Sorry about the deteriorating sound quality on this video. I will do a new video soon. Julian Cowan Hill

Yes that background noise was hard for us folks with tinnitus!

Here are the subtitles for this video in Polish: 0.02 Witajcie, nazywam się Julian Cowan Hill 0.04 i chciałem wam powiedzieć jak uwolnić się od szumów w uszach. Sam miałem szumy w uszach przez 0.08 szesnaście lat. Przez cztery lata były one bardzo intensywne ale 0.11 teraz już ich nie mam. Wiele się nauczyłem o szumach usznych 0.16 podczas procesu uwalniania się od nich. 0.17 Jestem terapeutą, Przyjmuję w centralnym Londynie 0.20 i leczyłem już ponad 400 osób cierpiących na szumy i dzwonienie w uszach i chciałbym się z wami podzielić 0.24 tym, czego 0.25 nauczyłem się o tej dolegliwości. Po pierwsze, co to za choroba ten szum i dzwonienie w uszach? 0.30 Przede wszystkim,nie jest to choroba uszu jako takich. Jest to choroba całego układu nerwowego, 0.34 wywołana wtedy, kiedy nasz układ nerwowy automatycznie uruchamia stan “walka lub ucieczka”. 0.40 W tym stanie stajemy się tak uaktywnieni i napięci, 0.43 że nasze zmysły, 0.47 sposób w jaki postrzegamy świat poprzez słuch, wzrok 0.51 węch, smak i tak dalej 0.54 staje się bardzo wyostrzony i wrażliwy. Gdy więc jesteśmy w tym stanie najwyższej gotowości bojowej 1.00 nasz słuch staje się tak aktywny, 1.03 że zaczynamy rejestrować nie tylko dźwięki dobiegające z zewnątrz 1.06 ale też zaczynamy słyszeć i rejestrować to, co dzieje się wewnątrz naszego ciała. 1.10 Tak więc to co się dzieje to to,że impulsy z systemu nerwowego odbierane są przez uszy 1.16 poprzez nerwy słuchowe i dosłownie cały system nerwowy dźwięczy nam od różnych informacji. 1.24 Ucho środkowe staje się tak aktywne, że jest w stanie słyszeć i rejestrować te rożne impulsy i 1.29 manifestują się one nam jako piski, syczenie, odgłosy świerszczy czy dzwonienie w uszach. 1.34 Chory może też słyszeć jakby przemieszczanie się płynu w głowie lub 1.38 niektóre osoby czują i słyszą bicie swojego serca oraz 1.42 zmiany ciśnienia za każdym razem gdy przełykają ślinę. 1.45 Trąbki Eustachiusza otwierają się i zamykają i to może być słyszalne i brzmieć jako trzask lub wybuch. 1.50 Chorzy zaczynają słyszeć 1.53 różne odgłosy w głowie od świtu do nocy i 1.57 to właśnie jest definicja zjawiska szumów usznych. Człowiek staje się nadwrażliwy i super pobudzony. 2.00 Tak więc 2.04 aby uwolnić się od szumów usznych 2.06 trzeba pomóc całemu układowi nerwowemu chorego i 2.11 wyjść z tego stanu najwyższej gotowości bojowej, stanu bycia zbyt uaktywnionym, 2.14 o nadmiernie rozwiniętej wrażliwości i zbyt reaktywnym. 2.18 Cokolwiek pomaga uspokoić nasz system nerwowy, pomaga wyluzować się 2.22 i wyłączyć się, to bardzo też pomoże zlikwidować uciążliwą percepcję szumów w uszach. 2.25 Wiele osób zostaje uwięzionych w tym stanie najwyższej gotowości bojowej po latach 2.32 stresu i napięcia nerwowego, latami pracując za dużo i ciągle się przemęczając 2.36 Czasami szumy i dzwonienie w uszach pojawiają się po 2.40 ekspozycji na głośny hałas. Dla wielu osób 2.43 pójście na głośny koncert może spowodować szumy uszne, które jednak zazwyczaj znikają następnego dnia. 2.48 Jeśli wasze szumy i dzwonienie w uszach dalej wam dokucza także długo po tym, 2.51 jak słuchaliście głośnej muzyki, to jest to sygnał, że wasz system nerwowy 2.56 jest zbyt aktywny i że jakaś jego część uczepiła się tego dźwięku 3.00 i nie che go puścić. 3.04 Jest naprawdę dużo różnych powodów pojawienia się szumów usznych, 3.08 Czasami ludzie zaczynają doświadczać szumów w uszach gdy zmieniają miejsce zamieszkania, 3.13 rozwodzą się lub zaczynają pracować za granicą lub gdy mają trudny okres w pracy 3.17 przez parę miesięcy i potem pozostają trwale uwięzieni w tym stanie najwyższej gotowości bojowej, 3.22 Tak więc by uwolnić się od szumów i dzwonienia w uszach, 3.25 trzeba znaleźć 3.29 odpowiednie wsparcie, które pomoże cierpiącemu 3.32 zrozumieć jego problem i wyluzować się na wszystkich płaszczyznach. 3.37 Dla niektórych osób najbardziej użyteczne będzie poddanie się 3.41 terapii, która opiera się na pracy z ciałem. Jeśli ktoś jest bardzo spięty i 3.44 trzyma dużo stresu w ciele, 3.48 na początku jest mu bardzo trudno samemu się wyluzować bez profesjonalnego wsparcia od 3.52 fachowca, który może naprawdę pomóc ciału rozluźnić się. 3.56 Osobiście wybrałem terapię czaszkowo-sakralną (craniosacral therapy) 4.00 Jest to fantastyczna terapia i pomogła ona mojemu systemowi nerwowemu rozluźnić się 4.05 od środka. Kładziesz się na stole do masażu, 4.09 terapeuta dotyka cię bardzo delikatnie 4.12 i to pomaga ci wejść w głęboki stan wyciszenia i relaksu, znacznie bardziej 4.18 intensywnego niż kiedykolwiek doświadczyłeś. Taki stan ma bardzo korzystny wpływ na chorego. 4.23 Im bardziej zdołasz się wyluzować, tym bardziej twoje szumy i dzwonienie w uszach się wyciszą. 4.26 Im bardziej się zrelaksujesz i skoncentrujesz się na normalnym kontynuowaniu twojego życia, twoje 4.29 szumy uszne zaczną zanikać.Tak więc jakakolwiek forma 4.34 terapii, która pracuje nad ciałem i pomaga ciału wyluzować się, jest bardzo użyteczna. 4.38 Jeśli także macie jakieś zaburzenia lękowe, chciałbym zarekomendować psychoterapię, 4.44 by zająć się wszystkimi tymi problemami, które mogą cię męczyć, będąc dalej ukryte w ciemnych 4.47 zakamarkach twojego umysłu. To może bardzo ci pomóc i 4.52 odkryjesz nowy 4.55 stan dobrego samopoczucia i spokoju. 4.58 Jeśli cierpicie na szumy uszne, będzie wam bardzo pomocne 5.02 rozwijanie dobrego samopoczucia w ciele. By wyeliminować szumy w uszach 5.08 zdecydowanie polecam szukanie pomocy u specjalisty. 5.11 To wam pomoże rozluźnić się i puścić. Najważniejszą rzeczą jest właśnie to - wszystko puścić, 5.15 także analityczne myślenie. 5.19 Zamiast tego trzeba koniecznie skontaktować się z waszym ciałem. Im bardziej jesteście w kontakcie ze swoim ciałem 5.24 tym łatwiej możecie realnie znaleźć gdzie przetrzymujecie rzeczy i 5.29 wtedy je puścić. Nie da się puścić tego o czym się nie wie. 5.32 Tylko poprzez wejście w kontakt ze wszystkimi kwestiami, które są w środku was, możecie zacząć je puszczać 5.37 i to jest moment w którym szumy uszne zaczynają odchodzić. 5.41 Chciałbym wam polecić moją stronę internetową: www.cst.eu.com 5.46 Znajdziecie tam mnóstwo informacji na temat szumów i dzwonienia w uszach. 5.48 Jest tam kilka dokumentów, które możecie sobie ściągnąć za darmo. 5.53 Jest tam także książka o szumach usznych która można ściągnąć, zatytułowana 5.57 “Szumy uszne, z tyrana w przyjaciela”. 6.00 Podąża ona i dokumentuje podróż od momentu jak 6.03 zaczynamy żyć z szumami u uszach, jak jesteśmy im na początku przeciwni i jak traktujemy tę dolegliwość jak jakiegoś demona, 6.07 nienawidzimy go i z nim walczymy. Lecz gdy tylko nauczymy się trochę radzić sobie z szumami w uszach, 6.12 to dolegliwość ta zamienia się w użytecznego przyjaciela i staje się jakby termometrem naszego zdrowia, 6.17 który pomaga wam zdrowie utrzymywać. Uczycie się radzić sobie z tą dolegliwością i zaczynacie ją akceptować. 6.22 oraz pozwalacie by wam pokazywała kiedy robicie rzeczy właściwe , 6.25 bo wtedy dolegliwość odchodzi oraz pozwalacie by pokazywała kiedy 6.28 robicie coś nie tak, bo wtedy wasz stan się pogarsza. 6.32 W ten sposób idziecie we właściwym kierunku; szum w uszach stała się waszym 6.35 termometrem zdrowia wewnętrznego. Więc 6.38 za każdym razem, gdy słyszycie że ktoś źle się wypowiada na temat swoich szumów w uszach, 6.41 to najlepiej uścisnąć mu dłoń, podziękować i pożegnać go 6.45 i znaleźć innych ludzi z pozytywnym nastawieniem do szumów usznych, 6.49 którzy wiedzą jak pomóc swojemu systemowi nerwowemu wyjść 6.52 ze stanu najwyższej gotowości bojowej, ze stanu walki czy ucieczki. To jest stan przejściowy, 6.57 i jak tylko zaczniecie lepiej się o siebie troszczyć. wszystko zacznie zmieniać si na lepsze 7.02 więc przestańcie niepokoić się szumami usznymi, które tylko pomogą wam się lepiej zrelaksować 7.06 i wasze postrzeganie tej dolegliwości zacznie się z czasem zmniejszać, 7.10 Życzę wam wszystkiego najlepszego i jeśli będziecie w Londynie i w okolicy 7.14 skontaktujcie się i popatrzcie na tę stronę internetową. 7.18 Znajdziecie tam wiele informacji, które wam pomogą. Wszystkiego najlepszego. 7.20 www.cst.eu.com

Here are the subtitles in Italian for this video: 0.02 Ciao, mi chiamo Julian Cowan Hill 0.04 e sto per dirvi come liberarsi dall’acufene. Io stesso ho sofferto di acufene per 0.08 sedici anni. E’ stato molto intenso per quattro anni e 0.11 adesso non ne soffro più. Ho imparato molto sull’acufene durante 0.16 il processo di liberazione. 0.17 Sono un terapista che esercita nel centro di Londra 0.20 e ho trattato ad oggi più che 400 persone con acufene e voglio condividere con voi alcune 0.24 cose che ho 0.25 imparato su questo disturbo. Prima di tutto, cosa è l’acufene? 0.30 L’acufene non è propriamente un disturbo dell’udito. E’ un disturbo dell’intero sistema nervoso centrale 0.34 che compare quando il vostro sistema entra nello stato chiamato “Combattere o scappare”. 0.40 In tale stato diventiamo così attivi e allarmati 0.43 che la nostra sensibilità, 0.47 il modo in cui noi percepiamo il mondo attraverso l’udito, la vista 0.51 l’olfatto, il gusto e così via, 0.54 diventa molto acuto e molto sensibile. Di conseguenza quando siamo in stato di allarme accade che 1.00 il nostro udito diventa così attivo 1.03 che finiamo con sentire non solo il rumore che proviene dall’esterno 1.06 ma percepiamo anche cosa accade all’interno del corpo. 1.10 Così che possono esserci impulsi dalle orecchie al sistema nervoso centrale 1.16 lungo il nervo acustico o ogni altra parte del sistema nervoso centrale che letteralmente ronza di informazioni. 1.24 La coclea nell’orecchio diventa così attiva che potete sentire questo rumore, 1.29 che si traduce quindi in un fischio ad alta frequenza, sibilo, cicalio o cinguettio, 1.34 Potete anche sentire i movimenti del fluido nella vostra testa, 1.38 Alcune persone sentono le pulsazioni del cuore e possono sentir 1.42 cambiare la pressione ogni volta che deglutiscono. 1.45 I tubi di Eustachio si aprono e si chiudono, e questo può essere percepito come un forte scoppio. 1.50 Una varietà di suoni dentro nella testa 1.53 iniziano ad essere percepiti in continuazione. 1.57 Questo è l’acufene. Significa essere troppo attivi, troppo sensibili. 2.00 Quindi 2.04 quello che ci aiuta a liberarci dall’acufene 2.06 è aiutare l’intero sistema nervoso centrale 2.11 ad uscire da questo stato di “allarme rosso”, di essere troppo attivi, 2.14 troppo amplificati, troppo reattivi. 2.18 Qualunque cosa aiuta il nostro sistema nervoso a calmarsi, lasciar andare 2.22 e spegnersi, risulta di grande aiuto con l’acufene. 2.25 Molte persone vengono intrappolate in questo stato di allarme rosso dopo anni in cui sono 2.32 stati ansiosi, stressati, hanno lavorato troppo, sono diventati sovraffaticati. 2.36 Alcune volte l’acufene compare dopo 2.40 esposizione a forti rumori, per molte persone 2.43 andare ad un concerto rumoroso causa acufene che il giorno seguente scompare, 2.48 Se il vostro acufene continua anche dopo 2.51 essere esposti a forti rumori questo è un segnale che il vostro sistema nervoso 2.56 è un po' troppo attivo, e una parte di voi ha trattenuto questo suono 3.00 e non vuole lasciarlo andare. 3.04 Ci sono veramente così tante diverse cause dell’acufene. 3.08 Spesso le persone sviluppano l’acufene quando cambiano casa o 3.13 divorziano, o lavorano all’estero, o hanno un periodo difficile al lavoro 3.17 per alcuni mesi e restano intrappolati nello stato di allarme rosso. 3.22 Quindi quello che aiuta a liberarsi dell’acufene 3.25 è trovare 3.29 il giusto tipo di sostegno che ti aiuta 3.32 ad elaborare i tuoi problemi e lasciar andare ad ogni livello. 3.37 Per alcune persone la cosa più appropriata sarebbe avere 3.41 una terapia che lavora sul corpo. Se stiamo trattenendo molta tensione 3.44 e stress nel corpo 3.48 all’inizio è molto difficile lasciarlo andare senza il sostegno di 3.52 un professionista che può veramente aiutare il tuo corpo a lasciar andare. 3.56 Personalmente, ho seguito una terapia cranio-sacrale 4.00 che è fantastica, e ha aiutato il mio intero sistema nervoso centrale a lasciar andare 4.05 dall’intero. Sei sdraiato sul tavolo, 4.09 un terapista crea il contatto. E’ incredibilmente gentile. 4.12 questo aiuta il tuo sistema a cadere in un profondo stato di calma e rilassamento, molto molto di più 4.18 di quanto sei normalmente abituato. Questo è incredibilmente benefico. 4.23 Di più lasci andare, di più l’acufene se ne va. 4.26 Di più ti rilassi, ti concentri e vai avanti con la tua vita, 4.29 e l’acufene inizia a svanire nello sfondo. Quindi ogni forma di 4.34 terapia che lavora sul corpo che aiuta il tuo corpo a lasciar andare è utile. 4.38 Inoltre se avete molta ansia mentale consiglio la psicoterapia, 4.44 per aiutare ad espandere tutti i problemi che ci disturbano nei profondi 4.47 recessi della nostra mente. Questo può essere di grande aiuto 4.52 per aiutarci a trovare un nuovo 4.55 centro di pace e benessere. 4.58 Se avete l’acufene, una delle cose più utili è 5.02 sviluppare benessere nel corpo. Per concentrarsi su arrestare l’acufene 5.08 consiglio veramente di cercare il sostegno di un professionista, 5.11 che vi aiuterà a mollare e lasciar andare. E’ tutta una questione di lasciar andare. 5.15 E tutta una questione di uscire dalla vostra testa 5.19 ed entrare in contatto con il corpo. Di più siete in contatto con il vostro corpo 5.24 di più potete realmente trovare dove state trattenendo le cose e allora 5.29 lasciar andare. Non potete lasciar andare quello che non sapete. 5.32 Solo entrando in contatto con tutte le cose che sono dentro potete iniziare a lasciarle andare, 5.37 e questo è il momento in cui l’acufene inizia ad andare via. 5.41 Quello che vorrei suggerire è di andare sul mio sito web: www.cst.eu.com 5.46 troverete molte informazioni sull’acufene 5.48 e alcuni documenti gratuiti che potete scaricare. 5.53 C’è anche un libro sull’acufene che potete scaricare. E’ intitolato: 5.57 Acufene, da tiranno ad amico. 6.00 Segue e registra il viaggio in cui 6.03 iniziamo con l’acufene, siamo molto avversi ad esso, che è un assoluto demone. 6.07 Lo odiamo e lo combattiamo. Ma non appena impariamo a trattare l’acufene, 6.12 esso diventa in realtà un utile amico e un termometro della salute 6.17 che vi può guidare a ritrovare la salute. Imparate a trattarlo e accettarlo, 6.22 e lasciate che vi mostri quando state facendo la cosa giusta, 6.25 quando svanisce, e lasciate che vi mostri quando state 6.28 facendo la cosa sbagliata, quando peggiora. Capite quindi quando 6.32 siete nella giusta direzione. L’acufene è il vostro 6.35 termometro della salute interno. Quindi 6.38 ogni volta che sentite qualcuno parlare male dell’acufene, 6.41 suggerisco di stringere la mano, ringraziare e salutare, 6.45 e di trovare persone che hanno un atteggiamento positivo circa l’acufene 6.49 e sanno come aiutare il vostro intero sistema a uscire 6.52 dallo stato di “allarme rosso” o “combattere o scappare”. E’ uno stato temporaneo, 6.57 e non appena iniziate a prendervi cura di voi stessi, le cose inizieranno ad andare meglio. 7.02 Smetterete di essere disturbati dall’acufene, che vi aiuterà a rilassarvi di più 7.06 e allora la vostra percezione di esso veramente inizierà a diminuire. 7.10 Vi auguro tutto il meglio, e se venite a Londra e se siete in zona 7.14 entrate in contatto con me e guardate il sito web, 7.18 troverete molte informazioni che vi aiuteranno. Vi auguro il meglio. 7.20 www.cst.eu.com

I'm dealing with visual snow, with about 80 constant visual symptoms, and loud tinnitus. Recently, I developed something called CPPS. Or chronic pelvic pain syndrome. It's crushing. One thing I realised was that all of these things are a "red alert" or constant hyper activation of my nervous system. Upon doing research about how to treat my CPPS, I came across some books, and recovery stories, that seemed to describe ways of getting out and healing. These ways are always a body/mind combination. For example, meditation, TRE (trauma releasing therapy - or shaking it off ), and even restorative exercise to lengthen the muscles. Also being a more aware, conscious, grounded person is a big deal - and being able to look at the symptoms without identification. This is overwhelming in a sense, because we are not taught skills of self regulation. Yet I am starting to believe that I've been in a state of sympathetic activation for perhaps the last ten years or more. My goals are to focus on meditation, being outdoors, self regulation, trauma release, and strengthing my tight muscles. I'm starting to believe that my tinnitus and visual snow, where a precusor to this, and all of these problems are a combination of muscular, stress, and hyper activation. All working together. To calm down, in every sense of the word. Is to heal. If any of this makes sense, let me know. Because all I have right now to work with, is my own intuition. And it's hard relying on that, while moving forward some days. I believe several months of these practises will bring huge rewards. And the fact that I find it so very hard to begin, is also an indication that I am in fact in some kind of freeze mode.

@shusterandy Thanks for getting back to me. I hope that you can find out what is the cause of your Tinnitus and get some relief. when I was younger the doctors thought that I had 'Glue Ears' which is caused by mucus build up within the middle ear. Anyway good luck with whatever you decide I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

My T came on during financial trouble, getting married and producing an album, plus work demands on top of that, no wonder I crashed and burned. I now see a light thanks to you and your video, it was so succinct that it just spoke volumes of truth to me and I'm acting on your advice immediately. Thank you for caring enough to share this knowledge. I now see a light thanks to you and your video, it was so succinct, just spoke volumes of truth to me and I'm acting on your advice immediately.

Letting go or coming out of fight or flight not only affects the perceptions and causes them to settle back to normal levels of sensitivity, but it also helps the body's tension release. So if there is chronic tension in the jaw, working directly with this area can rebalance TMJ structural issues, and if the body is relaxed alongside, then a freer jaw is more likely to continue. Ear infections need to be dealt with carefully. However when we let go our immunity also strengthens. Best wishes J

Hey I want to thank you, 6 months suffering and I do notice if I am relaxed or with certian people it is gone or very quite, I will start listening to it and then go from there, you just brought hope into my life.

As a craniosacral therapist who developed tinnitus after surviving an airplane crash, I can relate to the stress component. I can also substantiate that craniosacral therapy is the only thing that worked and I agree with Julian's theory and his explanation of how CST helps. When I first had the tinnitus, I was not as involved with CST as I now am, and everything I read was very discouraging. It was only after deepening my CST practice, that my tinnitus simply went away with the CST.

Your accent is helping my tinnitus. By the way, I have no doubt some of this is true. People think of the body in too simplistic terms. Our nervous system is extensive and we can be affected in ways we don't even grasp. It's far more receptive than we understand. My chiropractor taught me this. He works very gently with people's bodies and never cracks them. He works with the nervous system over time.

Great video - I must admit it was hard to hear from background noises but love your understanding of what is actually happening to the body

I've had it nonstop for six years in my left ear (high pitched squeal) after going on an airplane with a cold. My ears were completely blocked. It was also at a time of great emotional stress. A couple of weeks ago a different kind started in my right ear, a low buzz. I hope your methods work for me. Thank you for posting these videos.

Genius.....I totally agree. Tragic how no doctors or specialists have ever mentioned this to me...I meditate but this is another path...Thankyou....

Wow.. fight or flight response? Ultra-sensitive? I feel like a superhero now!

im 21 years old and have tinnutis in one ear(right). it's a roaring sound and a feeling of fullness in my ear. I lost my mother at 19 while in college and now im living on my own and work a part time job no sick time, i quit school to pay bills and food and have no way to getting medical help or counseling for my condition. Therapy and couseling would be a big help for me. I do believe you when you say it's a nerve issue. I'm alone and have sleeping and anxeity issues. I miss my mother.

he's right in that it's helpful when your nervous system settles down. I don't really hear my tinnitus when I am high lol

If you look at my website there are loads of free papers on how to let go of tinnitus. Meditation may take a long time to help. Hands on help from therapists who know how to settle your nervous system may be a happier route. Call me if you are freaked out and need some advice. Ps I am not selling snake oil and do not need more clients. I like helping people get on track.

I woke up with a blocked left ear and ringing inside this immediately made me go into a panic attack as I suffer with Anxiety for years I had the ringing all day in my ear and it was causing me so much anxiety so this video has helped me a lot. Thank you so much.

Yes. This is exactly what I figured out about my Tinnitus.

How is it possible to have tinnitus one day and not the next? How come I had tinnitus for 20 years and don't have it any more? It is certainly true for me and for a lot of people I work with. When people come out of fight or flight the symptoms improve dramatically. When the neuron stops being excited then the tinnitus subsides. If you think about it, every single neuron in the body is affected by adrenaline and is excited by fear, anxiety and stress. Undo this excitement and the nerves settle.

Thank you Julian Cowan Hill Your advice all make sense to me I will listen your other videos too Thanks mate

best advice i've seen so far, thanks

One of the best videos on Tinnitus!

I’ve had low levels of tinnitus for a long time. However, after starting a keto diet along with intermittent fasting, my tinnitus seems to have gotten much worse.

I absolutely loved how he articulated this information. I have done a lot of research on this subject (amongst many other things) and understand what he is saying but I really liked how he explained this information. GREAT JOB!

Thanks! Julian for the very informative information and giving people hope from Tinnitus

I got it from a sonic sound that was set off in a police cell where I was held for a day. It was so painful and my life has been shit for 3 years! I have all kinds of sounds and pain, discomforting vibrations and I get why people want to die. Stress does make it worse but it’s not what caused it. The sounds therapies make it worse, I dont have a ringing, I know what that ringing is everyone gets for a few seconds from time. The bevy of sounds go from a piercing 12khz down to a low hum with shimmering and scramblings in between. It hurts and I feel pressure. Even the skin around my outer ear feels charged with particles bouncing around, sometimes feels like burning. Silence is gone.

I'm sure he's spot on & though I have yet to hear it I appreciate already by his approach & his desire to share that he will help many here BUT Do it again without the drilling that + tinnitus deafens me ; )

I have found your advice to be really encouraging and supportive. Thank you!

You are brilliant, I respect and admire your work. I am in a bit of a struggle with tinnitus, I was in a real state of fear for 8 years and finally developed tinnitus. SO now it is time to learn to release. I am struggling , fighting the sound as little as it is it takes over my existence and makes me more nervous.

yes, it really is about learning to live with it and just forgetting about it but for some people, the condition is very severe and in that case they should get proper treatment to alleviate the symptom.

@mrmickyed dont panic! the more you panic the louder it gets! it is very important to RELAX! tinnitus is actually a nervous system problem. the more stressed out you get the more your nerves go crazy. actupuncture help me out a lot! just two sessions. you really have to learn to not panic though it is the first most important step. the sound will never go away, but you can get it to a quiet enough level to where you can live a normal life

My biggest fear is that my grandmother, aunt, and recently my mother died from Alzheimer’s, and all 3 had tinnitus before developing Alzheimer’s. I have only had tinnitus for a year, but recently it has gotten, at times, very loud. I understand it is not an ear or hearing issue, but a brain issue. I have retired from 20 years of teaching public school, always with teenagers. It seems like as stressful as teaching is, I did not experience tinnitus until I retired. My stress is now minimal, but after only noticing the tinnitus first not even a year ago, it has ramped up exponentially. I have been on anti anxiety and depression meds for years. I told my psychiatrist about my tinnitus. He changed my meds, but the tinnitus has gotten worse. I don’t know what to do.

I have tinnitus. It started when I was awakened to something, November 2016 (not gonna mention because of negative backlash) that put every cell in my body in fight or flight mode just like Julian says could be the culprit! I definitely agree with him 100%. I was in fight or flight mode for probably 5 months straight. My tinnitus came instantly and was extremely bad.....extremely loud. I have noticed that the last two months the tinnitus has eased a little. Only after I have learned to accept what I was awakened to. I still have it but I am going to try to learn how to meditate. I have never meditated in my life so I guess I will be doing some research on meditating. I would however like some more information on what someone mentioned about swimming. Someone wrote that they took Julian's advise and did the meditating and swimming exercises but didn't say what type of swimming exercises. Can anyone help me with more info on these exercises? Oh, and how I have dealt with my tinnitus.....well, I have just learned to accept it and live with it. I would love to hear silence again but if I never do, I will not let my tinnitus destroy me. Thank you Julian for all your videos....they have helped me tremendously :)

It is very much based in the on-going stress response. Lack of sleep, over stressed about life, etc.

thank you julian. when i am in london, i will come by. (i live in the states but i travel quite a bit.) just for posting this video, i would like to try your therapy. thank you.

I'm not sure if this will help but that's ok. I'll keep watching his videos to see if he has any other ideas.

Thank you Julian.

I always hate the negative people, some people cure their tinnitus within months (my mom for example) and for others it takes years, it's such a strange symptom and everyone is different. I've been suffering from it for 2 months now but in the last week I experienced an improvement, I take more time for myself try to relax. It used to be very high and sharp, now it's a buzz/white noise, it even faded three times this week after exercising/ meditation. I hope it goes away completely one day.

Thank you for sharing on my road to help for the last for months of testing.

I believe I have it too. But that's mainly because I used to turn my volume up on my earphones. Yeah u got to live with it, but I don't minder that much. My left ear is buzzing free.

Hyper stimulated nervous system. I’m thinking that prolonged fasting could help too.

In my case, my tinnitus is the result of nerve damage to the hair cells in my ear due to trauma from loud noise. My understanding is that the nerves which previously received sound impulses no longer receive them, then rewire in a non-functional way thus producing the ringing. Tinnitus is frequently accompanied with hearing loss, so my hearing is less acute, not more acute. I'm currently looking into tinnitus re-training therapies as a way of attempting to reduce the noise.

hi, you wrote me the same not long ago, and ur right, whether this therapy nor my will help in case of physical damage. But in 95% the origin is psychological, very often stress. I do not want money, I have enough, just wanted to help like Julian, none of us is a "snake oil salesman"! Live with ur tinnitus or at least try to get red of it, its up to you.

I would love to publish all the results but I am bound by confidentiality and would need permission from every client before I could do so. Roughly speaking, 15% make a complete recovery after six sessions or so, and hear nothing in silence. Most clients, maybe 65-70% experience a dramatic improvement of symptoms where T becomes quieter and more manageable. The rest feel better in themselves but unfortunately don't experience much change with the T and don't come back.

So again, a dysfunction of the sympathetic system... We're overstressed, too much thinking of not being safe.

I hope you can find someone who can help you let go of tinnitus. It is possible. I have done it and many others have too. I recommend you find people like us and allow positive possibilities to enter your mind. Staying stuck in negativity is not going to help you, and treating people who can help you with disrespect is not going to allow you the help you need. I wish you all the best in letting go of your tinnitus.

Ive had anxiety and panic disorder for years, the techniques I use for relaxation help with those but the pulsatile tinnitus I've had for five months now isn't getting better. I'm in therapy and do CBT but it hasn't gone away. I use a white noise app to mask the sound and Im constantly listening to ambient sounds to get psychological relief but I can't be in a quiet environment without the intermittent swoosh in my ear bugging the hell out of me.

I've always been able to hear my pulse at times. I thought that was normal. Wow.

thankyou so much for posting this video

i have never thought about it after 7 years of tinnitus, but it actully hear a pop noice everytime i swollow... right now i cant stop think about it.

I have tinnitus for more than 10 years and been through with a lot of doctor and test and the medicine. I am wondering if i have to go see neuology because when i was very young.. something hit my head and when i woke up .. i was in the hospital. I am wondering if this injury caused tinnitus.

i got it after a cold. Now i am really sad about it, and it makes it worse. I try to be positive but i am always reminded of the high pitched sound.

I am experienced ringing tinnitus since last 10 years. It is start from second day after the eardrum perfection operation. Is there any solution? I'm fed up from this problem

@TheJepperen Yes you are correct. Tinnitus is when your hearing can start to deteriorate. As I mentioned I have had a 40pct hearing loss when I was born courtesy of my brother contracting German Measles while my mother was pregnant with me & passing it on. Tinnitus does occur usually because the nerves in the ear connecting to the ear drum are damaged. I am 40,just went for a checkup 3 days ago & my hearing is still ok. Not 100pct but ok.

Thank you for this informative video. I have been having it now for a few months. I have 2 sounds, ringing and another one like an insect in th ear. Both are still fairly faint.

Really great summary and perspective. Thanks for sharing. Have you ever tried EFT for tinnitus? I heard it can be of help for so many disorders.

Thanks for the advice.

I developed tinnitus after a tonsillectomy at age 16, and TMJ not long after. It has gotten worse over the years. I am now 53 and have eagles syndrome symptoms that tend to occur from over-stretched ligaments; damaged ligaments tend to calcify and cause a myriad of problems.

I had covid, pneumonia, h. Pylori,congestion, depression, anxiety and then tinnitus 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲help!!!!!!!!!!!

Julian bro i am from India I am suffering from tinnitas a week but i dont understand english if you make a video in hindi language I really thank full to u.

@firehandszarb You have the right idea. I have tinnitus & have since I was born. I did the exact same things that you have described & it does work. When I was a child to get to sleep I would have my tape player under my pillow & listen to it while going to sleep.You are the only one that I have come across that actually gives good advice on how to cope with the constant ringing. Thank You. I get irritated when people spout rubbish without even having Tinnitus & telling us what they think it is.

Great video!! thanks very much.

Hi JUlian. Thanks for all your wisdom and helpful advice. I have had T for 8 months now and been trying to help myself with meditation, tai chi at home and working through your book. I have some good days where I think I am making progress and periods where I have the noise, sometimes it will flare up without warning even when I am feeling very calm. Do you think I would get more from tai chi if I were in a class? Also I have finally managed to find a CST therapist and am meeting up for the first time in a few days. I hope I will be able to derive some benefit from this. I know its a journey with ups and downs, please keep posting your supportive sessions. Alan

Thank you and I agree with you, In my case I got since I started listening to 528 hz music or any meditation music using headphones or earbuds.

Thanks for this. I've had a little noise in my ear since I was about seven. Lately it's gotten louder. Could be that it started when stressful things happened in my life, and the stress set in that way. It's interesting that this man is talking over some construction noise. My tinnitus sounds like a keening, high-pitched electronic tone, but I don't think that means anything.

I don't call myself an expert at all. I have completely let go of my own tinnitus after having it for 20 years. I had it extremely badly for 4 years. I couldn't even hear the phone ring or hold down a job. Now I don't have it at all. I help other people let go of their tinnitus. I have worked with nearly 600 people overr 12 years or 6000 hours of work. I have pretty good results. That's all. If you have a problem with that, then that says a lot about you. You need to deal with your anger.

That website behind you is not working anymore? Is there a new website?

Ty for this info.
