My experience with Tinnitus

[sirtinycreep]

I had it for a week, and it drove me nuts. Thank God it went away!!

[XxRattxX771]

@sirtinycreep How is that possible?

[amc1851]

there are different types of tinnitus, they depend on the root origin. For example, i discovered that mine was just the symptom of a cervical missalignment, i started by changing the bed for an orthopedic model (pillow top), i also changed my pillow for a memory foam (ultrasoft one), and got a deep massage to my neck and back, and VOILA! tinnitus to almost cero!!! but that was just me of course.

[armabarma]

you need to refraise the speaks about tinnitus ..as he dosent speak

[vientodepaz]

Tinnitus caused by insufficient blood circulate in your ear?...

yo tengo el problema que todos ustedes tienen,

el sonido en el oido por un year.

me hecho ver con doctores pero nadie me da la causa porque tengo el sonido en mi oido.

un doctor me digo que puede ser un tumor

y que me haga unas tomografias..

no me los hago aun, ya que aqui en USA

es muy caro.

ya no se que hacer!...

[amc1851]

You dont necessarily need to have a tumor to cause tinnitus, tinnitus can be the result of even a neck pain due to a too high or hard pillow, and unconfortable and too old bed, drugs (medication being taken for too long or certain antibiotics), too loud music, an accident in wich you hit your head, spine or neck, a bad diet, sitting too long in front of a monitor with your head and neck incorrectly positioned, too much caffein, too much salt, high blood preassure, diabetes, lack of sleep, STRESS

[haydenman2]

my tinnitus started as a low ring then moved up to the sound of a old TV turned on , now its a very loud ring , its wakes me up at night and i just want it to go away, I never got around any loud noises to cause it, it just happened on its own , my doc is looking into the possibility that I may have a tumor

[KingMike87]

Translation please??

[warlockerable]

In what language?

[KingMike87]

English

[warlockerable]

Sorry, i write your answer down, before i wachted the vid. i thinked he speak. Sorry

[silversoldiers100]

oh i get it

[Arcane587]

I can't understand sign language, but I can certainly understand how painful it is to live with tinnitus.

It's really scary. It gets worse as your hearing gets worse. I try my best to keep my hearing from getting worse for that very reason. Maybe mine will go away soon...

[4everRock666]

tinnitus is a bitch that deserves to be banished to the bowels of hell itself. mine is really minor though, i just get worried and i here it, but ill get used to it

[RunOut1724]

haha well put. Yeah it is a bitch, mine is getting worse. Playing guitar in a band doesn't help. I'm going to have to stop playing for a bit because i know it's not doing any good.

I wish anyone with tinnitus the best. Stay positive!!

[4everRock666]

yeah, staying positive helps a shitload, and earplugs too :D

[amandeep1234567]

@4everRock666 Same here man

I only get it when i think about it :/

Do you use earplugs when you go clubbing or loud places??

[4everRock666]

@amandeep1234567 yeah, i went a Heavy Metal festival once. at the end of the night, i was surprised my ears did not ring after 7 hours of head banging and loud music. earplugs can really really help you, it helps to keep a pair in your pocket all the time

[MrVoiceofreason123]

@4everRock666 Yeah earplugs are good for metal concerts anyway because it cuts out some of the white noise so you can hear the music more clearly with greater detail anyway.

[billyandgeorgie1508]

@amc1851, i've had it for 6 yrs now and at one stage i was ready to commit suicide as it was that bad.. on a rating out of 10, 10 being the worst, mine was 20..!! it was HELL & i mean HELL.. stress makes it worse so i have calmed down and i do self hypnotherapy as i am now trained as a clinical hypnotherapist.. anyway it is much better now probably around 5 out of 10.. but if you or anyone who reads this can tell me how to get rid altogether i would be very grateful.. thanks

[katekat0]

you sign wayyy too fast for me.

I have very minor tinnitus, i hear it daily, but its so quiet sometimes i don't notice it

[hairyreddick]

I agree I wish I knew sign or someone could translate, I want to know more about what he knows, Ive got it to, and this seems so important.

[bittenof]

if he took that tone with me i would have to hit him,cant believe some folk

[ignaciomarley]

WHAT'S TMJ?

[weepaul666]

hey, mine is related to tmj aswell! you're actually the only person ive come across with the same condition as me. my symptoms are jaw pain, headaches and i find it hard to exhibit normal facial expressions. i can barely hold a smile. i think thats the worst part of it. do you have that or anything similar?

[weepaul666]

yeah i guess when u have tinnitus, you can use everyday sounds to put it in the background. ive had it for 2 years now but i feel im getting more used to it

[Mikey1724]

@weepaul666

will you go deaf???

or is it in some cases of tinnitus like this guy in the video???

[weepaul666]

@Mikey1724 Nah. I've had tinnitus for 3 years now. It really depressed me for the first couple of years, but I'm starting ot get used to it now. I don't really notice it now, unless I go to loud places, then it'll annoy me for a couple of days after. You won't go deaf with tinnitus

[Mikey1724]

@weepaul666

well i've had mine for like 5-6 days now not clearly as long as u had obviously lol

but yea ive been really depressed this past week but doin all this research online and reading different stories i've learned being positive and just learning to deal with it is the best way to beat it so now im being positive and its not that bad i honestly dont think its bugs me alot i tried holding my nose and blowing and it actually seems to take the pressure out of my ear but slightly lol

[BlackRain100]

I dont understand signs, but I know how painfull tinnitus is.

[Neur0ticism]

Beautiful signing, wish I knew what you said, but I need to learn how to sign first. :)

[xsblader]

ahhh..... he has such a way with words......

[woofiegrrl]

Lots of people want to know what he is saying. It is too long for a complete transcript, it won't fit in comments. But he says to try gingko biloba for help with tinnitus. I will try to send him the full transcript I made so he can post it.

[pacheks]

can someone please summarize what he is saying?

[THE7thHAND]

hey, subs would be great, you can do them with tags...

[AVGN4life1]

.....

[MyImaginaryWorld]

I didn't understand a thing, but I hope the tinnitus isn't causing you too much trouble.. :(

I want to learn sign language.. once tried to learn the alphabet, but thats it..

[THEW1TCHER]

where can i learn this speach? i dont have to "speach" ist, but i want learn listen it!

is there any page "for free" ?

btw, i dont have any skills in it!

[AnnieTaylorz]

I am going try it.. I just am tired of it because i have it for 2 years straight.. nonstop.. its crazy.. i am going buy and try it.. if it works.. THANKS YOU!!.. whats more i do believe in herbs.. how dumb i am that i didnt check out for tinnitus

[8CaptainJackSparrow8]

i wish i knew sign language

[tetsHOT]

i have tinnitus

[midnightguild]

Don't know what he said, but it looked cool..

[SidBOB1]

Can someone Translate?

[RachelQZ]

For example, I don't know what the health food stores you listed are...

[FaithAndKarma]

i dont have tinnitus from exposure to noise but from stress it comes and go

[KrazyVideoGamePunk]

Does the stress effect your ears hearing?

[FaithAndKarma]

yeah when under pressure and when im tired I get constant buzzing noises and high pitches in my ear that is totally deaf no hearing at all which I find irritating, music doesnt bother me or loud noises

[KrazyVideoGamePunk]

That sucks, my problem is I can't understand if I am losing my hearing to loud noises or if its possibly just stress and it makes it seem like I can't accept loud noises and is also creating the Tinnitus.

[lovergurlz10001]

the tinnitus campaigns are better for people who dont already have tinnitus because if u think about tinnitus it just gets louder and worse

[fonebender]

I have tinnitus from exposure to load noise. Had ot for over a year. It's in both ears, loud as balls. I've gotten used to it, sometimes I forget I have it and tune it out, but when I think about it, it's right back in my face. I had special plugs made, and don't crank the amps up anymore

[blackberryjuice1]

man, if parents want their kids to turn down the stereo or stop using their iPods, they should just educate them on tinnitus!

[XTIRP8]

i think i have tinnitus in my right ear, it kind of seems worse when i keep worrying and thinking about it

[blackberryjuice1]

yeah, that's the catch 22 of awareness campaigns for tinnitus.

[XTIRP8]

what that all about?

[McIntyGames]

@XTIRP8 me too. do you know how yours started?

[XTIRP8]

@McIntyGames yes i only became aware of it a few years ago. can you remember those little white fun snap things that you throw on the ground and they make a small pop? we had some of them and my friend chucked one and the bastard thing went in my right lug and popped and it was ringing really bad for weeks afterwards. it cleared and now i only notice ringing when i think or worry about it. strange

[crabgrejo]

fire jutsu!

[ctreve93]

I have bad tinnitus in my one ear but it comes and goes, but the weird thing is if i put pressure rite below my ear kinda on my side neck it goes away. but when i remove my finger it comes back.... does anyone else have this??? Is this still considered tinnitus?? someone help?

[eyupjudd]

i cant seem to get it to work with mine, this is only my first experience of having it thats lasted more than one night, i just hope it goes

[AlpineNInfinity]

no, but its deffinately treatable in your case. see a ear nose an throat specialist

[chopin65]

I do not understand signing but I understand your suffering. I have tinnitus. Normally I have it under control but lately it has been getting worse. I have been taking zinc supplements, and I avoid coffee and tea. It helps a little. Good luck man.
