Tips & Remedies for Tinnitus Relief | Wellness Wednesday with Kris Carr 

I have tinnitus for a year now and the best way to fall asleep is using the 4-7-8 breathing exercise. Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, and breathe out your mouth for 8 seconds. Keep on doing it until 💤. It really works!

What a wonderful husband and partner you have Kris. Would love to see him in more episodes. My husband suffers from tinnitus - thank you for the topic.

Hi Kris and Brian - thank you for sharing. I was just doing some work with a tinnitus patient and I was inspired to share that we have made major strides with identifying and removing heavy metals. Metals will over stimulate our nervous system. Also, the reason some of the medications like NSAIDS and antibiotics aggravate tinnitus is that there is also often a parasite at the root. The toxins secreted by these infections can really aggravate the symptoms/nervous system. Maybe two areas to explore. Keep us posted and sending love.

Thank you for this video. I am struggling with sudden onset of tinnitus 6 weeks ago. I went to the doctor but your video gives me more advice than the ENT doctor. Most days are really bad but trying my best to reduce the anxiety attacks. Thank you both.

The "I thought I was going to go insane" quote really hit home. Those first few months are desperate and ugly. Glad you're okay now. I'm in my first year so working on cbt and researching meditation and such. Thanks for the vid!

I was diagnosed with tinnitus and it’s totally possible to overcome it.

Thank you so much for this Wellness episode! I have had tinnitus since about 1996 and this is the first, in depth, exploration of it for me. And I realized I never talked about it in any health care visits, not sure why not??? Very helpful , Brian did a fab job and love that he is from Pittsburgh. And I have to say that you, Kris, have this incredible ability to lead an interview that accomplishes so much and so well done...kudos! Many thanks.

I don’t have Tinnitus but I have chronic pain/illness and many of my thoughts are not positive and do not take me anywhere positive!! Thank you for this information and hope!

💖💖 you guys are so sweet together. I pray soon with so many of us suffering with Tinnitus, a cure will be here 💖

I have Ménière’s Disease, one of the symptoms is tinnitus. I have had constant tinnitus and now intrusive severe tinnitus for several years. I have found a white noise app (has to be cricket sounds now) helps to sleep. I also stay away from sodium in foods. Stress also spikes it for me. Thank you so much for explaining in depth to us. Education is so important to open up dialogue and help to not feel so alone.

I know this is an older video, but it was very interesting to me. I am 62 and have had constant tinnitus since I was around 18. My ex-husband would beat me and slam my head into floors and other things, so that is when it started. I've been fortunate that it's just always been background noise to me, but it is always there.

No wheat no sugar (high carb foods)no salt no dairy products or eggs and only drinking water lowers my tinnitus. While doing this for about a week then I’ll have a soft drink like Coke on 2 consecutive days then get back to high fibre low carb meals and after 3 days my tinnitus completely stops for 2-4 days. I have the Coke on Wednesday’s and Thursdays so I’ll get a silent Sunday and Monday each weekend. I’ve been doing this routine for 2 years at least 50 times and it always works.

I love that you take responsability and action about your conditon and don't just wait for somebody to help without doing something yourself. I think that that is VERY important, very empowering. I love that about you, Kris! You teach about taking responsability, learning, discovering. I agree with this and I'm triyng to live like that! Thank you guys! Love from Italy, Andrea

Sleep suggestions- I use a small Walkman with a single-ear ear bud. I buy them on ebay. I keep a station tuned to the Coast to Coast AM radio show. 2 different topics every night, some are very interesting. Something about the voices helps me fall back to sleep vs. binaural music. I also use the Calming Lavender and Chamomile Baby Magic lotion (Walmart). Oh, and may I suggest a weighted blanket or a 100% cotton quilt for sleep :)

i just found this and really have had worsening tinnitus recently i’m not dealing that well and have high stress. thank you for doing this.

Amen, Kris--there's ALWAYS HOPE!!! So nice for Brian to come on and share his story. Takes getting vulnerable to do that, so kuddos to him!! You guys are lovely, truly. I remember catchin' a glimpse of your I think "friend" then when he was the man behind the camera of some of that early footage of Crazy Sexy Cancer. That's where I was first "introduced" to you, and I've been a KC fan ever since!!! Love what you "give" to us. THANK YOU and God Bless ALWAYS!!

It was very helpful 🙏🏾 I’m 40 and 7 months with tinnitus, it has been tough but we can reach habitation, i hope he keeps posting more about tinnitus.

I am 69 years old and have lived with 50 budgies in my ears for 28 years, it can make a grown man cry at times I can assure you, either that, I could jump off a bridge! I have the odd day when the budgies/ringing halts and I turn into a nice person, my wife can notice the change in me right away! I worked in a tyre factory all those years which was constant noise and bladders bursting, health and safety was not introduced in the factory till the late eighties, so it was too late in one wearing ear defenders as the damage was done! I am finding it harder to coup with this at my old age, but I will try the tips given in this blog -This is my first visit in asking you Tube for remedies for tinnitus! Many thanks!

Claustrophobia, anxiety, and fear are such a good way of describing what happens when you first get tinnitus. There is no where to hide. It is terrifying to have the constant noise in your head nonstop.

Good information and suggestions. Walking works great for me.

Wow ! 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 Thank you SO MUCH. I've been struggling with this for 2 1/2 years. The audiologist as well as my ENT each simply told me "Hang in there; good luck." 😞 SO DISCOURAGING. Various videos are now popping up as I've been discussing this with my cousin. I hear buzzing, thumping, and humming. A vibration constantly goes up through my foot, my bottom, and permeates my head. (It seemed to have come on after dental work from a major gum infection) Oh ! Kris, I just watched the end where you mention Brian is four months in. 😊 The topic of tinnitus lead me here to you for my first view; I will be watching more of you, for sure !! Thank Y💜U.

Thank you. This is coming at about 3 months into my tinnitus and is incredibly helpful and heartening. Thank you!

Thanks for posting. I suffered severe 'floaters' post an accident (paint in the eyes) and my brain learned over time to shut them out (mostly ... still see them sometimes) and likewise it seems the brain can adapt to this debilitating condition for which I now suffer.

My husband has perfect hearing and has tinnitus in both ears.

Look up Julian Cowan hill

Such a generous episode! Every detail shared is helpful and inspiring for those of us who live with this condition. Thank you!

Great video, hope you both are doing well. Not sure if the tinitus is still present, but if so, I can highly recommend the videos of Julian Cowan Hill. Very helpful :)

I was wondering if you have any updates on how Brian is doing with his tinnitus now that it has been a few years since the start of it? I hope he is doing well.

Having lived with Menieres disease for about 20 years I have come to learn that my tinnitus is actually a barometer. Normally I only hear it if I think about it . It's always there. However, if it gets louder or includes a popping sound I know I might be coming out of menieres remission. No biggie any more as I just roll with the vertigo! It's nowhere near as violent, frequent or debilitating as it was when I first developed it. On the positive side, if I need to sleep in a noisy environment, I just sleep on my good ear and let my tinnitus act as white noise🙃.

Thank you for sharing and your insights...

I have had tinintis for more they 50years,ex military,,so I have learn to live with it !!!

Hi! Loved watching you two and taking in such useful information. Did you mention something about alcohol consumption? Eating habits.... coffee? I'm just trying to cope with the tinnitus that has been getting stronger in my "head"🙉...and thinking about giving up on wine and coffee....I don't know!!😄. Cheers guys!

💚 Brian, You said it's been a couple months since it really hit you ? It seems like you've learned and experienced SO MUCH in this short time.

I'd be interested to hear if you tried the hypnotherapy and if it helped what approach did the hypnotist take.

COVID 19 gave me tinnitus never have I ever had this in one ear when ever my heart passes gets stronger not in exercise way but just like anxiety stress that when it get annoying me

Beautiful couple. Thank you for sharing this very valuable information with us. I too and some family members suffer from this condition.

I notice it mostly at night and I notice it the least when I'm outside and working in the garden. Maybe this may be because I am involved, distracted and enjoying my time there.

Yes come back GREAT TEAM

Thanks so much for sharing this video! I’m struggling to cope with tinnitus for 3 months now. Has Alan had any progress from two years ago? I can’t find any updated videos! Thanks again Best always CC

pink noise or organic pink noise sounds played regularly or hours at time as quietly as possible or to sleep have helped success stories restore hearing and disrupt and fade tinnitus. I’m resonating with Peter Studenik who damaged his ears at a rock concert but healed his tinnitus. Also urine-therapy, drops in the ear regenerates fibrous ear hairs

As far as dealing with Spikes.. I’m now 11 months in with Tinnitus. And I’m having 2 or 3 days of very quiet T in my left ear and sometimes I forget about it on those days. But after 2 or 3 days of quiet I get a Spike that is in both ears and in the middle of my head. The strange thing is my spikes are normally brought on after a nap or falling back to sleep. Any insight on the Spikes?

I’ve had it for decades from going to so many rock concerts in the 80’s. My ears would ring so bad after a concert. I have to sleep with a fan on. I do t like perfectly quiet rooms.

Thanks guys, great info.

I've had a loud buzzing in my head. For 10 years. Mine came from lost of high pitch hearing in both ears. Duke University in Durham said mine is terminal and Chronic. I've tried some of these therapy and it hasn't helped. I'm the only one that has it in my head. The rest of You have a ringing in your ears.

Good video. You must of had a moderate Tinnitus. Your right it's the 'emotional reaction' to it. Easier said than done. How is your hubby now?

Also a drummer hear . It started with a bad placement of a main speaker at a gig . A year in it has decreased and I can play drums again at a reduced volume. Totally understand you and I also have lived your journey to recovery .

I've had tinnitus for 2 years and found relief by doing PEMF Therapy on my cervical or neck and slightly above, just under the ear, now it's mostly gone, maybe twice a day the ringing might reach a 2.

Very cool, thank you so much!

Such a great explanation thank you

Can u give more tips

Great review

I am Enjoying your Video, I also have Tinnitus (Ringing in my Ears) the loss of Hearing gives us back in return Ringing in the Ear, I notice things we Drink and Eat and like you said, Stress cause it to Ring Louder, I try to pretend it is Music and I focus elsewhere, Coffee the Caffeine is not, good for it, Chocolate and Salt, I am Vegan so, I don't consume God's Beautiful Animals for I am only, a Temple said, God for we consume their Extra: their Pain, Fear, Grief and their High Stress Hormone, Cortisol, too! and too much Wax can be People problem, too, I also try to think how Lucky, I am and See what other People are going through and that Helps, me, too, Wonderful, Video, you both are such a Beautiful Couple, have a Wonderful, Sunday, love, Diana Lipski 💕 Praying for your Beautiful Dog 🙏

Since I m menopause I have gotten tinnitus last October til now.

I haven't read all the posts I don't know anyone discussed the relationship of tinnitus to Elders Danlos Syndrome and tinnitus involving essentially instability of the cervical spine. This results laxity in ligaments and or degeneration of the spine cervical spondylitis or both. There would be other symptoms as well i.e. numbess

Hi Kris & Brian! Thank you so much. I've had tinnitus for 20 years and it has been flaring up since last summer. I appreciate hearing your discussion--it was validating. Question: I wanted to watch the video about working with your spouse that you two did together a few weeks ago but the link I saved no longer works. Could you direct me to it? My husband and I are building a business together about relationships, life and health (he had had cancer, I had a chronic illness since I was a kid and we live a life of joy, silliness and wonder) and we'd love to watch it. Thanks! Sending lots of love and appreciation your way. Annie

When u come on next time please give more information for relief

Hey Brian! This is the TreeBanker half of our team. Thanks for bringing the dude energy to Kris' work. I have motorcycle and Rock & Roll induced tinnitus too. Annie and I really enjoyed watching the two of you presenting together and hope to see you in front of the camera in the future. Happy New Decade! -Dan

I just found this. I just listened prior to yours a podcast by Dr. Ben Thompson an audiologist in the US interviewing Dr. Michael Golenhofen in German, an ENT specialist who has worked with & treated tinnitus over 25 years. He is working on an initiative to help other doctors, ENTs, etc. know how to diagnose & treat. He has narrowed down from many disorders to 3 subtypes of tinnitus that are 80% cause What you are describing may be type one. And says to defocus. Sounds like that’s what your working to do. I have type two. It is sensory motor disorder, somatic-sensory. This is where there is a mono lateral sound, high pitch sound, hissing sound, pulseitile like heart beat, no lack of hearing loss, sudden onset. Cranialmandibular, TMJ, neck, jaw, disorder of the brain stem. He advises see ENT, have x-ray, audiogram, see dentist about TMJ, osteopath or Chiropractor. Magnesium, tryptophan, a serotonin precursor, muscle relaxant. Focus on cause of the tinnitus. Stress is caused by the tinnitus. The 1rst type you describe , the stress causes the tinnitus. The third kind is cochlear which involves hearing loss. He tells about treatment for each of these. Watch his podcast. It is very good. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Is there a link to the tapping meditaion they mentioned?

Hi both, great video and thanks for sharing. May I know how often do yoj play some music's or sound to mask the ringing inside? is active listening to other sound helps to retrain the brain to habituate to tinnitus? Thanks

ps. would be more than happy to jump on a zoom/whatsapp call and quickly go over some of the tests that you could start with to collect as much information about cause as possible. just wanted to offer :)

Have had tinnitus for 30 years or more. If one goes to a good acupuncturist very early on, it can be gone in one visit. I did this. I actually have a very good Chinese acupuncturist. One visit--totally gone. But that night I slept until about midnight, awakened loving the silence, sat up, and it immediately came back in one ear. I continued my visits and was told after about 6 visits to take a break. My break was ten years and way too long. I have been told now that my nerves are too stubborn to move at this time, and that acupuncture cannot help. Nothing has helped. I don't want a masking of it. That's about all I find on RU-vid. I want it gone.

tinnitus comes from the chloela inside the inner ear, when you hear a really loud sound that is just you hearing a wave of compressed air, this pressure wave when hitting your ear causes the chloela to lay down and touch each other, tricking them into sending a signal to your brain saying you are hearing this sound, the pitch,tone and volume you experience is based solely on what parts on the inner ear took the damage, it is not coming from inside your brain, how can hearing a loud sound make your brain do anything? this is a false statement, if you want relief for your tinnitus, take organic mint oil on cottonballs and keep in your ear for a full day once a week, i did this method every other day for 2 weeks then went to once a week, the mint oil stimulates the chloela inside your inner ear, do not shove the cotton deep in your ear it should fit in and feel like a earbud from music device, i noticed a distinct change after the second day, also i should mention as mint does stimulate the chloela the first time maybe even second time doing this you may get tonal changes in the sound you hear, this is normal for while you have the mint oil in your ear, do not make assumptions until you wake up next day after trying this, and the next doctor that tells you to learn to ignore it or to just learn to deal with it, slap them for me

i have it also thank you, robert....

Would you mind sharing the tapping session fro tinnitus that you use? I would be ever so grateful! Thanks.

Very good information... thank you ! and btw really cool presented. (edited hehe)

Cool

what are you thinking? how can you tell the brain while hearing this unbeleivably LOUD noise that overpowers anything that it doesnt effect you?

Hi folks! Just wondering how things are with Brian’s tinnitus? Merry Christmas!

I have it unfortunately and it is very loud I hope I can cure it one day thank you for sharing this today every little bit helps. I am very healthy in my diet and natural products I use but still no relief as yet.

Hey Kris I just discovered your channel thought I need to watch this video because like your husband I have the condition too have had it for 16 months and I’m only 20 years of age so can only imagine how it’s been affecting me but the tips you’re husband gave seem very helpful so I’m gonna start trying to imply some of that I’m just wondering how does he keep his thoughts process to the here and now and not all over the place also really appreciate it 😊

Have the headband with speakers , they help VA Audiologist gave them , downloaded Niagara water sounds that seems to help , causes sleeping problems & even when I think I slept ok I can be fatigued the next day as if I worked all night ?

i have tinnitus that comes and goes on right ear for a few years. advil seems to set it off as does any processed food like bread white and brown crackers pastas desserts . seem to do better with whole foods and raw foods.

What's the name brand youall use ?

Where do you get your CBD? Some of it just makes me sleep. Are there different kinds of CBD depending on what you need it for?

How is your Tinnitus? I got it too from an ear infection.

It's weird the other day I went out of town to a higher elevation and I didn't have it for two nights.

You guys are amazing for sharing everything that happens to you. Kris you and your husband are adoreable. I have tinnitus and this is invaluable. I do have some informaiton that i will email you

Do you think it could be nerves in the head, I ask because I went from silence to ringing in ears all in a matter of 2days, after a metal bucket fell on the back of my head, the back of my head went numb and by the next day I had ringing in ears, ended up in emergency room twice in one day because of ringing. Still have it but doing better.

What about restless leg syndrome? Need some needed tips please.

I have a question…… I fear my tinnitus is worse then others because it sounds so load in my head. Is it possible there are higher levels of tinnitus? Also if this is the case can it be treated the same.

I heard hyperbaric oxygen chamber can potentially reduce or eliminate tinnitus for some people. Worth a try.

Almost 2 months with noise induced tinnitus. Luckily it went down and I can only hear it in a quite setting. Has anyone taken prednisone for tinnitus?

❤

Synapse xt helped with it.

Wat about vtm d3 n magnesium. Yes please he needs to come back

Its awful i got it in one ear mild years ago i managed to forget about it then i had a accident 30 days ago and its in both different tones its terrible in its state now.. im in the figut or flight mode 30 days now..

I was told it is connected to clenching our teeth

Thank you for everything you do Kris, you're so sweet, loving and wonderful. Please watch Peter Glidden ND in this video for important information: mytotalnutrition.lpages.co/understanding-the-cause-vertigo/ Tinnitus may happen due to the loss of structural integrity of the skull, therefore the body puts connective tissue in the lacunae ("tunnels" through which the cranial nerves goes through), problems start when the connective tissue touches the nerve(s), Ouch! Please let me know if you'd like more information. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.

Mines came about three weeks ago after taking an Advil for a headache. There’s been a ringing in my ear ever sense. Very annoying, but trying to manage

What amount of CBD do you use?

Liam stops Tinitus will fix it
