Tinnitus-do you know what it is?-
About 50 million people in the US know it, mostly kids, young people. Millions more outside the country.

I am not talking about a little ringing you may hear every now and then, or a mild annoyance.

I am talking about the OTHER kind, the millions of people suffering from DEBILITATING noise, LOUD NOISE, permanent and hard, very hard to deal with. I've seen lives ruined, I've seen hopelessness. And I simply cannot accept it.

The primary Tinnitus Organizations that help with the extreme cases are doing what they can, but they still face the indifference of many. Now that thousands of our Military are returning home with DEBILITATING Tinnitus, now finally, the Government and many other outlets are beginning to pay attention to this sad situation.

I am a first a music fan, musician and filmmaker. I am also a Tinnitus sufferer

Chances are, your favorite rock, hip hop or country idol has this problem but tells you nothing!

Play this loud (ironic isn't it?) and you'll see the nightmare that is TINNITUS and then think about your life style.

This is not meant to be negative...it is a simple message. Enjoy life, listen to music (like I do, love music:), but BE CAREFUL, watch your ears, feel what your body is telling you if you are in a noisy place. Use EARPLUGS if its too loud.

In the mainstream Film and Music world, people like Moby, Trent Reznor, members from bands like My Bloody valentine, Pearl Jam, people like Keanu Reeves, people like like Will.I.AM, composers like Danny Elfman... (you'll be amazed of the actual list...its long) etc, they have this and struggle with this.

And it is a struggle for many, many in the MAJORITY, so, again, I am not talking about a minor noise. And in the case you DO have a little noise, please protect yourself. It is a warning sign, not trying to freak you out (but I must be strong, because sadly, being upfront is the only way sometimes to get people's attention, in this world).

NO, I am not telling you: Panic, danger!, red alert!, all I am saying is....take care of your ears, enjoy volume but don't overdo it, be careful. Visit The American Tinnitus Association for more info.

This condition happens to anyone, in any age (believe me, this ain't just for old people)

TINNITUS- Let's help create awareness
AWARENESS = FUNDING FOR A CURE:)

  • Hello!, if you wouldn't mind. Please copy the video code of this video (right of this page) and paste it in other forums, blogs or sites you think would see this PSA.

    Awareness=funding for a cure, if this nightmare is not known, or if people don't know, we will never see a cure or a decrease of Tinnitus case, which unfortunately are on the rise..

    Please help us spread awareness!

    Thanks

  • If you arrive at this page and like the PSA, please copy and paste the video code in other sites, in other blogs and forums!

    It is important that we create awareness about this tragic problem.

    Awareness= funding for a cure

  • PLEASE, HELP US GET THIS MESSAGE OUT THERE. Tinnitus is a new epidemic and it is getting worse.

    Use the video code (above -right) and use it to paste this video in blogs, forums, everywhere.

    Awareness can only mean more funding for a cure!

    Thanks.

    Me too! I got tinnitus when I was at your age before

    and I lived with it since then. Only 2months after

    starting this solution offered by the site:

    StopTinnitusToday.info

    and this is the only solution that made it better.

    and after a month, it was completely gone. I

    think you should try it also. It might help ur

    problem..:)

  • I'm 15, having it since I was 12.

    It's just getting worse and worse...

    I can't sleep at night, I'm constantly afraid and my life is just getting fucked up.

    I haven't been listening to loud music.

  • The dangers of loud noise should be obvious to most people, but it's not. We live in a time and culture where loud music is encouraged. We often forget how loud things really are. I've played my music way too loud most of the time and I'm scared of losing my hearing, so I'm stopping and taking more responsibility. Please value your hearing.

  • @66EscapE oh ok

  • @DarkYoda0025 WELL THIS IS DIFFERENT IT STAYS FOREVERRRR

  • DAMMMM ITTTTTTTTT I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS NOBODY TOLD ME!!

  • @josecassella Can I get a hard copy of this PSA with your intro at the end, not the beginning?

  • All doctors I’ve visited recommended me to live with my tinnitus. Where does tinnitus come from ? amalgam - antibiotics - coffee - alcohol - nicotine - drugs - stress - mobile phone - loud music - noise? First help I received after years of a doctor with the EarNoiseEliminator for treatment at home. I've bought it immediately. Result : less pain - less noise, better hearing and improved quality of life. I d’like to recommend you the EarNoiseEliminator

  • DONT WORRY GUYS!!! ULL GET USED TO IT . I KNOW IT SUCKS IN TEH BEGINING BUT ULL LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT AND ITLL JUST MAKE U A BETTER PERSON! I FEEL UR PAINL ITLL ALL BE OK!
