If everyone else could hear what we hear then I'm sure more research would have been done long ago and a cure found!

Watching this video is making my tinnitus louder because I’ve now started thinking about it Thanks Doc !

I used to have tinnitus so loud that I couldn't sleep because of the noise. When I went from a high sugar and carb diet to the keto diet, I lost it. I think it took about 2 weeks before tinnitus stopped after changing my diet😌

I have had 24/7 tinnitus since 1982. I also have multiple health conditions where tinnitus is a potential side effect. The major factor of bothersome tinnitus for me is anxiety and stress. I guess I need to monitor my other conditions to see which conditions exacerbate my tinnitus and make changes in my behavior to reduce its severity.

My tinnitus was caused by a dramatic change in my pain medication. I had covid in 2020 which scarred my lungs and now I am on oxygen therapy, which affects my blood flow; I take medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, over active bladder, anxiety, pain management, advanced neuropathy and I suffer from the results of a malignant tumor on my right perotid gland, and I could still go on. Sleep is a "concept ", and I'm so tired, all the time. That's my reality. If not for my faith, I know I couldn't make it. Thanks for your videos and for listening.

Thank you for being just about the only doctor or person to present this information. Most of the other stuff turns out to be clickbait.

Very informative , thank you 👍

Thank you Maam, Very informative...❤

Thank you this was very informative.

This is spot on. Thank you.

This is very beneficial ! Thank you

My Mom had Tinnitus for over 40 years! She once told me that the noise use to sound like a plane in the backyard. She also had many other issues. HB/eye problems, Kidney infections, heart problems, etc. She was 89 years old when she died. She was very loving to her Grand and Great grandchildren. She died 6/1/2023. I was her caregiver for the last 3 years and was happy she was out of her misery. It was difficult to see her suffer because she was really a nice person who loved us and our children. The last thing was when she turn and fell off the bed and broke her elbow! My Dad died afterwards on June 14th. He stayed until she left. He use to cook for her and make sure she had breakfast. He also had the same issues except the Titinnus. He was 94 yrs. His memory was excellent! He would remember back in 1940's! They were married for 68 yrs and had 7 children. I learn Pure Bio Energy method of healing that did give her an ease with the noise.

That was so lovely that you suggested to expect the tinnitus with alcohol or salt, genuinely real world advice, thank you 😊

Very informative video

Congratulations doctor! all this five is the reason that creating makes stronger Tinnitus,i can confirm this cuase this is my conclusion by living with tinnitus now and at list 10 years.possibly is the cause also. A great Thank you for your confirmation and scientific explanation 🙏🙏

My tinnitus always gets louder in the evening and after night's sleep it gets less sometimes I can hear the blood pulse,

My tinnitus was triggered by gluten. Took me a lot of trial and error to work it out. I’ve given up grains and no tinnitus.

Thank you!

Coffee noooooooo! Tinnitus forty years. High pitched...it can be almost unbearable. Mostly I have found that when I am focused on something it is not there. The worst thing Is when my surroundings are quiet. No hearing loss at 73. Vertigo. Have tried every diet and fasting over the years. Doesn't seem to make a difference. This was a very interesting video for me. I have seen many and this is the first that talked about the don'ts! Smart cookie there!

I've been dealing with tinnitus since I was around 10-12 years old (now 62), it's very high pitched. The first thing I noticed was the quieter things are in a room, the louder it is. Because of this, I started playing environmental sound CD's at night. I found what works best for me is, the sound of ocean waves, no music, no birds, just waves at low volume, full bass and low treble. Been using this since my mid 20's and sleep good 99% of the time. That said, I've noticed my tinnitus has gotten worse since getting the covid vaccine, but I have not caught covid.

Sushmita: yes I have it too!!! Posted a comment previously with my matter, however, if you sleep slightly 'elevated' using pillows (even a travel cushion) it really helps to some degree - just try it 😴 ❤

I have had tinnitus for 40 years now, due too working in a loud factory! I turned to drink because the buzzing in my ears were so loud, I could not sleep! I had a hearing aid, but only used it when being with families and friends, because my ear hurt at the entrance of my ear! I have excepted that there is no cure, so one has to handle the frustration of the buzzing! I can go weeks with no buzz/ringing of the ears, then I receive a spike that lasts for weeks! I do not add salt to my food, but I do drink a lot of coffee. This might be a coincident - But each day around 5pm, after tea time, I lay on the sofa facing east, when out of the blue my tinnitus starts up, yet once I stand up and start working around the house, the tinnitus stops? My spikes of tinnitus has improved over the years due to me creating drinks that I think helps! I stay clear of sugar, I use honey, lemon, cider vinegar, cumin/black pepper, turmeric, garlic, avocado, nuts, yet stay clear of red meat and take away! Use traffic light system on food packages when shopping! Keep away from the red! Doctors don't have all the answers to our body malfunctioning - I love using UKposts and finding answers to my defects/ailment/s!

1. Caffeine and Nicotine (increases blood pressure) 2. Common medications (pain killers, antibiotics) 3. Alcohol and salt 4. Poor sleep 5. Leaving hearing loss untreated

I have tinnitus 24/7 but very rarely notice it as I just dont think about it. However it does get intrusive and quite loud when someone mentions it or as in this instance it pops up on my UKposts feed as an informational video. As it was by Dr Cliff's channel I decided to watch and possibly learn something new and helpful. Not a good decision as I now have jet engines screaming in my head and its going to be a long flight until I can get my brain to lower the volume. Im not complaining as its just part of life that you need to accept and learn to live with. I have had friends who didnt have hearing problems or tinnitus but have passed away. So although it can be annoying its not a big deal in the bigger picture and I find its best not to think about it and then it fades into the background. Takes effort and practice to stop your brain hearing unwanted sounds from the past but it can work most of the time and tinnitus only becomes apparent when under some stressful situations or when I read or hear the word.

To the point and ''NO BS'' THANKS......

From Bogotá Colombia, Thank you very much for your important information

Thank you for the video! It was nice to "hear" a new perspective on what might becausing the tinnitus. I also feel called out because I do most of the things that you mention may cause it, or make it worse. I needed the reality check that I might be making it worse and I'll be trying to cut out the bad habits and starting new ones (getting enough sleep!) Subscribed and now digging into the rest of your content. Cheers!

I've always had tinnitus. I believed it was normal. Cheers Rosemary Western Australia 73yrs

I have moderate to profound hearing loss and have Oticon S2 hearing aids. Being a rock n roll drummer for much of my life was what I believe the cause of my hearing loss. I have had Tinnitus for the past 20 plus years in both ears. Something strange is when I had Covid, I noticed my tinnitus was completely gone. Although it was only temporary, it was such a relief not to have that constant ringing in my ears. But it came back of course. In my next life...I am wearing hearing protection 24/7. ☺

6. Hearing aids. I have hearing loss and tinnitus in both ears, but in the ear also affected by Meniere’s there are certain frequencies I find particularly irritating. When such sounds are amplified my tinnitus doubles in volume.

Fortunately I've become accustomed to a constant 8,000 cps scream in my head. My wife says there is something wrong with my hearing aids but no matter how loud I turn them up, the tinnitus distorts many words.

I have had hearing loss and tinnitus for tens of years, I was fitted with a hearing aid and it made my tinnitus worse. An ent told me nothing else could be done and they don't know the cause of it all and I need to learn to live with it so I started by removing the hearing aid that made things worse.

I give a thumbs-up after the video, since appreciation is based on the content, and I don't know the quality of the content till after I've seen the video. I'm curious what your understanding of the thumbs-up is, since you request one before the viewer had seen the video.

I have had tinnitus since 1993 after a car accident. Over the decades I have tried just about everything.I have it on both sides....however about 3 years ago I went to an NAET practitioner and it went away on my right side.NAET is an allergy elimination technique. It would have been nice if it all went away.The band plays on 24/7.....I have absolutely have not experienced silence for over 30 years now.Everything that was mentioned in this video I do not indulge in except the sleep part....however I do sleep way better with an Earthing mattress cover....so I get approx. 50 hours of Earthing every week. Cheers....!!!!

Thank you doctor for the video and the information and education. My ringing can be excessive and fluctuate intensely. I do have pretty extensive cervical stenosis which has contribute to this greatly. With that said, my question is regarding salt. I don’t eat fake manufactured salt I don’t eat boxed and prepared foods that aren’t foods at all. I do use organic Celtic sea salt as a nutrient in pink Himalayan salt. Would you consider these to be two types of salt that would increase my tinnitus? Thank you if you see this and reply, may the Lord bless you and keep you and your family always. One.

Unfortunately going to ENT and Audiologist and General Practioner did zero. No answers however I also have been on HRT to assist with my headaches. No one as of yet as helped with why I got sudden.

My audiologist said my tinnitus originated from a concussion I suffered when I was eight years old. He suspected it was triggered by damages to my inner ear. It is inoperable and permanent. 🙂The best we can do is manage the symptoms as best as we can.

Is there any promising research to cure hearing? 

Just what I needed to know. Looks like The Lord placed this informative video in my path in perfect time. Recently, I have been hearing like the sounds of rushing ocean waves 🌊 in the atmosphere. I love the ocean but not the constant sound when I'm trying to sleep. 😂

Can we take calcium tablet or magn or nuerobion tablet

There appears to be some evidence to suggest contracting covid makes tinnitus worse. Mine definitely is as I now can hear it during the day as well as at night. The only other explanation is starting on Digoxin around the same time as getting covid?

Stress is worse for Tinnitus. Had it for 4 years. Liam Boehm has really helped me. I was a 9 out of ten now Im a 2.

My Tin-NI'-tis...is loudest when I wake up at night..to go Pee, bc of my BHP problems!! I also have had HBP for years, ..getting lower by losing weight & walking!!

My tinnitus volume spiked after my stroke and covid shot. Alcohol at night calmed my nerves and seemed to silence the ringing…. After my stroke, I gave up cigarettes and cut alcohol down to one beer a day, developed insomnia, now I’ve got ringing like crazy 24/7 and use expensive hearing aids, they do help but I do miss bourbon at night, tobacco too.

I've been advised to take Duloxetine (SNRI) but it has tinnitus as a common side effect. The doctor was telling me that it was related to the possible increase in blood pressure and it wasn't a direct but rather an indirect possible side effect. They told me that a lot of common medications have tinnitus in the side effect list because of the same reason. Have you had any experience with clients using this type of antidepressant? Any further input on the topic you could give me? Thanks!

I have hearing loss and tinnitus in both ears and I can't use my hearing aid because it make more louder wat to do n also have some other health problems...

What I hear is just like the ringing you get in your ears after a sudden loud noise such as a gunshot, but it never goes away. In general it never varies except a few times a month when it might change pitch and sound different but then it clears up after a minute or two and goes back to what it was. I have been diagnosed with mild hearing loss because when in noisy settings conversations are hard to make out. So ever since I've had this, I have made good use of hearing protection even if the noise isn't all that loud, but especially when using power equipment, even a vacuum, as well as in the movie theater (simple ear plugs). My tinnitus and hearing loss isn't getting any better but it appears not getting any worse either.

What is treatment of ANSD?

My Tinnitus has increased greatly over the past 2 months and I don't know why. Many times a day I have the sensation in both ears, at the exact same time, many times during the day, of a squeezing pressure-like sensation that hurts and for a second or two causes dizziness. This is a radical departure from my decades of Tinnitus which has always been a low buzzing sound. SInce the symptoms are a radical departure from normal, I best go see the doctor.

I always have to have some kind of noise on, be it tv, radio, or a fan. I can't stand silence because all I hear are my ears ringing! I sleep with a big box fan too. I have a battery powered noise machine for when the power goes out. The external noises help me to not hear the internal noises.🙉

I’ve had it since April one. Seeing an audiologist next week. Bt I only hear it wen I’m alone

Tinnitus ear ringing can start around peri menopause and goes away with estradiol and progesterone scripts - all the HRT is super protective for middle aged women. ❤

Tinnitus is a pretty crappy thing to suffer from - but I have found all the things that you mentioned in this video have an effect on my tinnitus in one form or another. If I drink too much caffeine my tinnitus freaks out and its the same with booze too, although fortunately I dont drink too much. But also if I dont sleep too well its the same thing - loud tinnitus. I wouldnt wish condition thing on anyone - its really not great.

Aspirin sure cranks mine up.

1. Loud Noises 2. Headphones/Loud music 3.Head injuries 4. Caffeine/Energy Drinks 5. Medications such as BC powder and pretty much anything age related.

I use a fan, a white noise machine, and a rain sound black screen UKposts channel to sleep.

Thanks for the video. Just curious why you didnt mention Meniere's disease? Its definitely a cause for tinnitus and directly related to salt intake and the severity of tinnitus.

I have it 6 years and 8 months a horrible symptom, stay safe everyone, get a hearing aid to mask it,,don't listen to loud music, best wishes for you all, 🙏

I had an episode of vertigo. Visited my primary doctor. Visited the audiologist. Had an MRI. I reported tinnitus. At the end the doctor told me I just "had back luck" about the vertigo. After the MRI they found nothing wrong. Go figured.

I got bit under control on it I am doing exercise here at home

Metabolic T is harder to deal with than mechanical, dietary or hearing issue drivers....

How about hydrocephalus?

I've got a hissing in left ear, and an electrical type Ringing in the right ear. Plus hyperacusis. It doesn't yet spike regardless of caffeine, alcohol etc. Not reactive.

"Caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and salt..." I don't do two of those at all, any more, those are the alcohol and nicotine. I HAVE noticed that my tinnitus seems to worsen dramatically when I am horridly dehydrated. I am also starting to wonder about the role parasites might play.

Thanks for pronouncing the word correctly. A lot of people pronounce it wrong. I find that annoying.

I have since 3 years hearing loss top don't know what should me do

I've been a Hum sufferer for almost 15 years. Can you help? I live in Northern Arizona.

Duz epilepsy medisen kos tinnitus I have had tinnitus for 4 years

One thing you didn't mention, that I have found, and I don't know if it affects others is: Wi-Fi We lost electricity one night and I had the best sleep ever, since I had stopped OTR truck driving! I wondered why that was. Turned out to be Wi-Fi. The second I turn Wi-Fi off in my house, the buzzing in my ears STOP. Now, I turn off the Wi-Fi every night (to my ISP provider's dislike) and sleep soundly with no tinnitus symptoms (loud buzzing) in my ears! Whenever I'm out of range of a strong Wi-Fi, the buzzing lessens, and is completely silent when I'm outside working in the yard or field - we live on an acreage. I am healthy otherwise and take zero medication, nor have I taken any medications for years! You may want to check out this phenomenon for other videos.

A physical therapist insisted i stretch my neck forward and down. I said it causes headache and ring in ears. She said thats a medical problem and refered me to my doctor. My doctor agreed but did nothing. After a couple more PT apps i quit going bc she wouldnt listen and was making me worse..

I think mine is originally from being on antidepressants for years. I noticed one spring after a particularly bad allergy season that my tinnitus got worse. If I could do one thing to improve my health And the health of other people it would be to find a cure for this. I'm just so tired of it, its been over 10 years.

I have cervical spondylitis. I'm guessing it's linked?

I have given up. Loud crickets in both ears. Just try to drown the noise out. Years now. 1st started with exposure to an F5 tornado. Ear pressure was incredible.

Tinnitus, in my case is bearable while wearing hearing aids. When I take them out in the evening, the tinnitus increases significantly. I take a medication that causes hyponatremia, therefore, I have to make sure to eat more salty foods than in my past. I have experienced symptomatic hyponatremia. I have will gladly accent increased tinnitus to avoid hyponatremia. As annoying as tinnitus is, it doesn’t compare to hyponatremia.

From the comments it looks like everything under the sun causes it. We're screwed.

When i put cat tv on with birds, Seems to notch ringing down

What do I do when my ears ring all day everyday from the time I wake up to the time I fall asleep? It literally keeps me awake at night every night, so I have to take sleeping medication just to get a few hours of sleep! And this has been going on since I was 17 and I’m 41 going on 42 in August! Please 🙏🏻 and help will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Mine seems to increase when catarrh levels in my nose and ears is high.

Salt for me for sure

What? Give up coffee and red wine? Nah, I'll tolerate the tinnitus....

I started having this after I took the flu shot for the first time!

When l lost my hearing on my right ear, my ent doctor told me to take vitamin b3, stay away from noisy places. He also told me that my hearing on my left ear was decreasing. That was his help. So, my question is: what is the point of going to an ent, audiologist if they have no cure, except suggesting hearing aids..l lost my hearing on left ear as well 2 years later. My tinnitus sound like airplane engine, 24/7. God help us!!

Number 6- Carbohydrate consumption. HIgh Carb/Sugar consumption causes inflammation that can inhibit certain enzymes of metabolism. Alpha Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase is one of them. The rate limiting enzyme of the TCA cycle, AKGDH requires TPP. TPP, Thiamine Pyrophosphate, is a metabolite of Thiamine. Glycolysis is the pathway that utilizes carbs. It has Pyruvate Dehydrogenase. PDH also requires Thiamine. So, as one consumes sugar, their need goes up exponentially, while they are consuming a diet that contains even less. BTW, Thiamine is required for nerve cell and myelin sheath repair. This is often the cause of tinnitus.

My audiometry has always been fine, but there is still tinnitus in my left hear. Does it exist a test for frequencies higher than 8000 hz?

Don't notice it til I lie down like now. Never noticed it all day because I'm busy all day. Now quiet no TV. I'm hearing it

Wow how did the algorithm know my tinnitus is raging tonight? Stress because my dog is anxious and having an issue 🤷‍♀️

All good if you actually can afford insurance. 61 years old and still no insurance that is affordable. My solution to tinnitus is to keep a steady flow of sound going into my ears. I sleep with headphones on.

You need to do a little reading up on Salt.

What does it mean when alcohol makes my tinnitus go away for a while? I only drink a little once a week. But the evening that I drink and the day after my tinnitus is gone.

Has anyone experienced a worsen of tinnitus from sound therapy in hearing aids. I suspect mine is. The more I turn them up the more hearing loss i experience. Specialists say no but here I am with louder tinnitus and more hearing loss.

Also, people have a condition called hyperinsulinemia. I believe it's called insulin resistance. Eating a lot of carbs and sugar causes my tinnitus to elevate.

I've had tinnitus since I was born - it only seems loud to me if I am in a room with no background noise - I have no issues with anything else & I regularly have my hearing tested every 2yrs - nothing has changed (I'm 52) I find if I am doing something I don't really hear the tinnitus - I know its there but it doesn't affect my life - I just tell people & they speak a little louder.

THERE IS NO WAY I AM GIVING UP MY COFFEE ☕️!!!!

I have 2 forms of tinnitus the other one is called musical ear syndrome which is much more horrfic and has a great impact on my daily life I am also def without my hearing aid s does anyone here have musical ear syndrome.

Any fruit increases mine

Caffeine makes no difference to me and nor does alcohol, I sleep well and don't take any painkillers regularly.

Nsaids also increase tinnitus the next day

Spread more awareness on Susan shore device

I smoke and drunk coffee it has no effect on my tinnitus and I don't take medication s sleep yes is important.

Please ask TV stations not use backround music its bad for people whith tinitus😢
