Back in the days that I used to make dance music and intended to do that professionally, I used to go to loud club nights and eventually I damaged my hearing as as result. I also had a car accident and wisdom tooth removed in the same time period and so now I have ringing in my ears constantly... I found this great teacher and healer in London who has cured his own tinnitus and now helps others - his advice is truly great!
Julian Cowan Hill has a great perspective on Tinnitus, rather than trying to chemically 'fix' the body, he accepts that tinnitus is basically a warning sign that you and your body are under stress - so it follows that if we get to the roots of the stress, then bring calm and a new relaxation - then we can heal. While it is true that some tinnitus can be caused by physical/mechanical problems (including misalignments in the spine and blockages in the blood system), it is also true that in many cases it is pure stress of a psychological, emotional or chemical kind that is at the root of the problem.
In any case, relaxation and destressing will always help us to deal with the problem, which at times can be debilitating and frightening.
In this video, Julian describes why using a 'masking device' that attempts to distract us from the ringing is not really the best solution. Even better is to come into our own body by feeling more, which has the effect of helping us to be more calm and reduce the stress impulses that may be triggering the tinnitus.

Thanks. These various components of the 'system' of self are involved, yes - though the actual deepest cause for the presence of dysfunction may differ slightly in each of us.
should i know all this sir?
Guess i have to study again lol
hehe.. well, the mainstream method of education for health care is typically compartmentalised and lacks the holism necessary to ensure that the various pieces of the puzzle of the human system are all understood as one. i wouldn't expect dental training to address the full spectrum of issues pertaining to tinnitus and brain function any more than i would expect a car mechanic to be able to explain the molecular structure of oil - but we can certainly do our best to be self aware and self educated using the best tool ever created, the internet.
yes ... until and unless u hear about them ... then only u can check them on the internet... i am glad i came across through ur post... and i cant stop thankking you :)
oh, you are welcome! thanks for being you! :)
I don't know about ringing but I get the buzzing sound in both my ears sometimes. Fairly regularly I think.
I've had no head injuries so that's out of the question. It probably is due to stress. I don't know if meditation would work for me as I don't think I can stay still for such a long time. But it's still worth a try..
Thank you for sharing this
one thing to check is whether or not the sounds change when your blood supply changes. if the sounds pulse along with your heartbeat then there could be a blockage or something pressing on a blood vessel somewhere.
It's not a pulsating sound as far as I've experienced. It's just a regular buzzing sound like a horn of a car..
I worked as a barista in a coffee shop for many years and I think the loud noise from the coffee grinders gave me tinnitus. :-(
Some specialists say that tinnitus is often due to damage to the tiny hairs in the ears - though I have not personally seen definitive proof of this. In any case, putting a really strong focus into relaxing and de-stressing will help anyway. Hint: Coffee is a stimulant ;)
Since I live out in the country now and have taught yoga since 1999, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp at relaxation (I teach restorative yoga primarily). :-)
I haven't been a coffee drinker for about 10 years now (which was funny since I was a coffeeshop manager who didn't drink coffee). I blame the headphones I wore as a kid and then the loud coffee grinders we used to make espresso. Oh well.
In my experience, tinnitus can have various causes, but the more we understand the mechanics of it, the easier it is to heal. This is because tinnitus includes a self reinforcing mechanism connected in with fight/flight.
This guy explains this and he actually healed:
My brother had a bad bang on the head 16 years ago so he is stuffering with a ringing right ear. It's pretty unbearable at times, loud noise and booze can certainly turn up the volume.
I know a few other people too that have tinnitus. One was helped by a hearing aid. Not sure what the others are doing about it. I hope they find relief, and soon!
Thanks! What has helped me the most so far is improving my diet to include a wide range of nutrients that were missing, plus having chiropractic care and massage. Sometimes after 30 minutes of thai massage I don't notice tinnitus at all. In my case I have physical damage to my jaw too which may be involved, so it has been tough to identify exactly what needs to be repaired - however, I just aim to fix everything anyway!
Resistance to the sound is also something that can make it harder to deal with. Advice I received from a yogi at one time was to ask 'what are you running away from?' - often it is pain.
My brother was sitting on a chair, someone banged and turned his head slightly, he heard a slight "click" in his neck and that was it. The noise has been there 16 years now. He just try not to think about it. The best thing you can do is to get on with your life and learn how to ignore your tinnitus and meditate daily
Numerous people have healed tinnitus permanently - denial doesn't fix anything. The fact that it began for your brother with a neck movement, is a clear sign that chiropractic adjustment may resolve it for him.
Keep music at 60% of full volume or lower when using earbuds. Don't listen for more than 60 minutes at one time.
Earbuds can be particularly problematic, particularly the type that have a rubbery seal.
The percentage is less important than the actual loudness in decibels - which is not always going to be easy to measure, so the key thing is to be sensitive to the volume and have it quieter rather than louder.
Hearing loss is also influenced by the duration of exposure to stimulus, not only the intensity. While tinnitus is still more elusive, audiologists do understand acquired hearing loss and once damaged, we've seen little evidence that physical structures used to hear can repair themselves. Tinnitus or not, protect your hearing, folks! :)
Woow it's a very good treatment @ura-soul, I often wear hansed in a long time, So my hearing starts to interfere, I've gone to the doctor, But my hearing is still bad. Thank you brother already sharing very useful information.resteem
This is the reason why i love steemit. We just get knowledge related to different topics. Anyways my friend is suffering from tinnitus and it has been sometime now. This advice to her can really change her life. It happens more to her when she is alone. Hope she has better alone time for herself after receiving such an advice.
I too feel this ringing on my ears, it was kinda scary at first but now um used to it..I think people with sinusitis and stress feel this thing
This is fantastic! My step father is ex-military and has suffered since a bomb went off not too far from him.
I will forward this to him now! You are a star 🙏🏻
