I’ve had it for a month now. Also a Norwegian. I’m a musician and producer and played drums every day in my youth without hearing protection. And also rehearsals without protection. My hearing test shows moderate hearing loss in the 6khz range in my left ear (hi-hat side) and low in the same range in my right ear. It started with dizziness and then the anxiety made it appear. Luckily my bass player is a audiograf (dunno what it’s called in english) and told me about habituation. So I’ve found out that my tinnitus is primarily somatic, caused by strained neck and back muscles. I know because it gets higher when I move my neck or hold my head down. After habituation the ringing is gone (thank god) but the hizzing is still there. Albeit at a low volume. Also got hyperacusis. But that’s not constant anymore. Anyway, it doesn’t bother me too much anymore. It’s improved like 70% in a month. I use crickets for habituation. The trick is to keep the volume of the masking sound just below the tinnitus. That way, the brain learns to kinda filter it away. It really works. Also, breathing exercises to lower your pulse and anxiety, because the vicious circle of anxiety makes it worse. So gotta break that first.

Dude you have no idea how much this video helped me! Thanks a lot!

Thank you for sharing your experience! I appreciate your advice. I've had it on and off for many years due to working as a firefighter and also 10 years in a loud shop as a mechanic. Only recently I have had a very stressful time it has gotten really bad. I think you helped me figure out how much my stress has really been a big factor for it being so severe. I will try more of the techniques you shared and see professional help with my hyperacusis. I never realized they were related. Cheers my friend!

Im currently going through it, hell on earth, it had changed my life 😢 my thoughts to everyone on here....panic and flee response is horrible, caused by the hyperacusis... not many doctors and gps aware of this. Plastic bags , rushing water tap, even my sandwiches in alum foil etc, all cause my ears to deafen and pushes a tinnitus attack. Ear plugs, now and then.

Exactly, UK doctors have no clue about this. Going through the same thing. It's been a month. Still struggling but a bit better with time.

Thank you. You articulated clearly how most of us with tinnitus suffer. For me, I can now explain to my doctor my personal experience with this ailment.

Thx for posting. It is reassuring to know we can learn to ignore the ringing.

Thankyou for sharing your story . I have hyperacusis and tinnitus .The anxiety it brings on is hell . I'm having sound therapy and just hoping that in time it will subside .

Very nice video, thank you!!! I hope in the future feeling like you!!!

13:50 feel ya brother, your hope that i would google this, worked. Thanks man, what a great use of the internet, and what a great genuine explaination. Thank you.

Thank you. Very enlightening.

I have been experiencing a ringing in my ears after getting the flu 5 days ago. I am in panic mode at the moment, spending my days googling symptoms and treatments. Anyway this video has really helped me calm down about the whole situation, thank you very much for sharing your experience

​@jamesrockeart195 how it now? Is it completely gone?

The tinnitus we get after flu or cold are usually due to eustachian tube dysfunction as the opening of the tube becomes inflamed As time pass if eustachian tube doesn't open even after cold subsides the negative pressure in middle ear can cause eardrum to get retracted over time and this cause hyperacusis for some reason

Hey, how're ya? I just wanted to share. I had covid some time back and I had what u mentioned, at first it was blocked already for me, then a pop sound, and then a ringing sound. I was worried and thought perhaps it's a covid thing. After 5 days, I went to see a Ear Nose Throat specialist. He didn't say much about my ringing, but he cleansed both sides of my ear with expert tools for $100 per year. It was still ringing then despite the deep cleanse, although the deep cleanse was really good and I could hear much clearer and louder after that. After cleansing my ears he told me if I was very stressed lately, and the answer was yes. He and the audiologist said that stress is a factor that can cause it, though they didn't exactly explain the science. He told me not to focus on it and distract myself. He said the more u focus on it, the more its there. And he told me to get loads of sleep (8 hours a day) and destress a lot by not thinking about work at all. (for me how I destress was exactly opposite, I opened my laptop to clear my emails totally so I could rest with a piece of mind) . So for a few days (1 week) I trained my mind to do other things and ignore it, and it kinda worked. I think there's always a small sound within the ears as normal state. Just don't focus on it, focus on something else, and manage your stress and sleep by having ample quantity of them. Hope it will work for you.

Ive just got over a cold then i had earache which left me with ringing and hearing loss. Im hoping it will go away as my anxiety is through the roof 😢

Many similarities to my experience but my nose needed surgery. My neck seems stiff did any specific relaxation exercises helped? There are exercises for reducing the ringing if you are interested but don’t focus too much about it.

Great info. U could be a dr/therapist too.

How do you make the brain not think about the ringing? Because whenever my brain keeps on looking for the T sound automatically (i just had it for 10 days now 😢). Any advise? I tried to make myself busy all the time, but my brain does multitask by actively looking for the ringing sound

I also have tinnitus from a cold/flu and still suffer greatly from it (it started 5 months ago). It's really great that you've gotten habituated to it. After how long did you start to stop noticing this noise all day long and being able to push it into the background? And now you only hear it once a week or when you consciously want to hear it?

Tinnitus we get after cold or flu are usually due to eustachian tube dysfunction due to infammation around the tube Over time if this eustachian tube doesn't open after flu goes away as a time passes the negative pressure in the middle ear can cause retracted eardrum and it causes hyperacusis like vibrationg sensation u feel when someone talk loud voice

Hi I’ve had a cold and have had ringing doctors said it was Eustation tube dysfunction. Ear feels full of fluid still. My ears are still popping and clicking. It’s my left ear .

I got my tinnitus in 2017 from a cold too. I don’t know if it was caused by the cold but ear congestion made it very noticeable.

I have had it for 11 years. I now wear a hearing aid and have pulsatile tinnitus. I listen to white noise or a fan every night. You just have to live with it. Not easy but I go for days not hearing it but then have days when it is hard to deal with. Hyperacussis is hard to deal with too.

I have a similar story... In October last year I got sick with the flu. I woke up one morning with a bell like ringing in my right ear. Like church bells going off in the far distance. I have had this before when I got the flu or a cold and it always went away after a day, not this time. My ears felt blocked and I kept the faint bell like ringing in my right ear. I thought it would go away after I recovered, but it never has. I only got louder. So so loud. After about 6 months I decided to go to the doctor. My ears were fine, no wax, no inflammation, but a little fluid behind my eardrums. I got some nasalspray (non addictive) and if it hadn't improved after two weeks I needed to come in again. They also told me to pop my ears (pinch nose and blow out of nose). Two weeks later I was back. Checked again and everything was the same as before. They checked my head and ears with a sound fork and all was fine. They advised me to rinse my sinusses with a neti pot and after that the nasal spray and keep popping my ears to open up the eustacian tube. Again for two weeks. Still nothing. One thing changed though. My bell like ringingen gradually changed to a steady beeeeeeep. I can only hear it when it is quit. Night time is hell. I use an app to play rain sounds and that really helps, but it is so frustrating. My ear is still clogged. I feel like I have a bunch of cottonballs in my ear, but my hearings seems fine. I got a cold at the very beginning of september and now my left ear feels clogged and on the night of 10 to 11 september I had a high pitched ringing in my left ear. That is gone now luckily. But my stess levels were of the chart when I heard that ringing. I sometimes have a sharp pain in both ears and feel my heartbeat in my right ear. Very frustrating! 21st of september I have to go to a hearing doctor and really hope they can help!!

It will go away if you start eating with whole organic foods. Avoid eating anything in the package like salty and sweet foods. Get some exercise and be sure to sweat out the toxins from your body. The symptoms could last between 6 months to 3 years. The nervous system must have been affected as well due to bad posture and radiation from cellphones blue light. Avoid stressful and toxic situations. It will get better.

Hi I still have it and it’s been two months and I’m used to it nkw

Fucking got this from a cold 🥶 right now on week two of hoping it goes AWAY

this happened to me at 73. virus so severe absent fever but congestion displaced my right ear drum. It sounded like a construction site in my head. Three medications resolved the issue and prednisone brought the inflammation down to level where my ear drum self adjusted.ENT said he could manually adjust if it did not do so naturally. Problem is I was left with some form of pulsatile tinnitus which is a almost constant buzzing through my body especially noticeable sitting Of course these morons are clueless and i have thoroughly investigated any other possible causes This year i developed vertigo in the other ear and spent 3 days in hospital 11 weeks and still not entirely resolved. All I can say is i have had all scans and tests but not really a full immune panel and I have had to conclude this is due to ageing. Funny how i never heard my parents or anyone having these difficulties and the ever increasing list of auto immune diseases is a source of anxiety. Never heard of any of them either. I have none of those either as I am medically sophisticated enough to establish through symptom checks if it was a possibility. One neuro suggested a hematologist oncologist. I had a fit no symptoms for any and I told her straight out i would have been dead by now if leudemia, myelomas or lymphomas were present. i give up with these people

I went to the same thing more or less. Now I also hear a hum next to the tinnitus, lucky me :) (kzread.info/dash/bejne/mGefk7OwqJy_YLQ.html) Starting a CBT now advised by my general practice doctor. I still protect my ear from loud noise which I think is normal to do because in traffic it can be quite loud. I fall asleep with an app playing relaxing sounds like you said. Hyperacusis gives me trouble concentrating and hearing things in noisy environment. Thanks for you video, I do have it under control more or less in a way I can enjoy day to day life.

from covid ?

Are you sure your Tinnitus isn't simply caused by loud music? The flu was probably just the final trigger.
