D: In this video, Julian and I are going to tell our tinnitus stories. Should I start or do you want to start?

J: You go first

D: OK, I came down with tinnitus on February 15th at 4:30PM in 2002. We are recording this video on August 6th of 2009. Basically, it was a loud howl. I was lying down like this and when I woke up it went crack, and I had this huge hiss and howl in my left ear. And it got to the point, really for me, I was actually figuring out ways that I was going to write letters to my friends and family, because I did not want to continue living with the volume of tinnitus the way it was.

What’s interesting is that instead of going that route, what I did is I decided to pursue some treatments to see if they would help. I did Neuro-Cranial-Restoration which is a chiropractic technique, and I learned something called BioMental Training, which is something done by a German doctor, and you learn how to activate your body’s own healing reflexes with a meditative technique. And what happened was is that I learned how to directly directly lower the tinnitus. I mean if it was here (high gesture with hands), I just learned how to make it go foof (gesture down to almost nothing). I’ve had many many days where tinnitus has not been in my consciousness at all. I can still hear it when going to sleep and waking up at times.

But I do a lot of studio work and musical work, and I actually do these training exercises before I really need my best hearing, and I haven’t done a test to show this, but I think my hearing is better than when the tinnitus started. I’m pretty sure it is, because I seem to have very accurate and very fine hearing.

So really, that’s my story, and to get rid of just that last little bit, and I think that people will see it in my face, and they’ll see it in my consciousness, that frankly, I actually want to move all the way from tinnitus to complete liberation, and maybe that’s stress that I’m causing myself, but I want to let go of tinnitus completely and that’s a goal of mine, and I know Julian has (done just that), so I put together CureTinnitus.org, frankly, because I was tired of flying around the world.

I mean, I flew to Germany, I flew to Denver, I live in Vienna Austria, I flew to Los Angeles California, and then I went to go visit you, so I flew to London. I mean, it was just getting ridiculous in terms of the cost and the personal effort. So, I thought, CureTinnitus.org, I already owned the domain. I figured I could gather people who’ve healed themselves. And that instead of focusing on studying disease, that I would create an organization that focuses on health and on well being, and that by doing that, it would be a part of my healing process.

So, that’s what it’s been for me so far, it’s been a tremendous amount of work for me, it’s been a labor of love. And that’s how CureTinnitus.org came to be and that’s what it represents for me. So that’s my tinnitus story, Julian.

J: Yeah, and just hearing you say that, it makes me realize that when tinnitus gets much better, when we have many days without tinnitus and we’re not focused on it, letting go of tinnitus can involve letting go of the need to let go. So you are no longer bothering to need to let go of tinnitus. And when you get to that stage, you really know that it’s not a problem anymore.

So with me, my tinntus, I’m 43 years old, and I started to have tinnitus when I was 16. And I went to the doctor, and it wasn’t bad at all, and he just said it was a part of getting older. He didn’t really say anything. It was very unhelpful. About 16 years later, maybe a bit more, I had a very stressful period in my life, and my tinnitus went through the roof, and I went to a doctor again, and he referred me to an audiologist, no, I first went to an ENT specialist, who was appalling, and he said “you’ve got tinnitus, there’s nothing you can do about it, learn to live with it, and by the way, you’re deaf.”

The whole thing was a really big shock for me, and I had a very negative reaction to that. Needless to say, my tinnitus got much worse. Fortunately, a friend of the family suggested going to a cranio-sacral therapist, and I had never heard of cranio-sacral therapy. But I will never forget lying down on the couch and this guy put his hands behind my head and just sat there in stillness, and I felt my body going PHEW Pscheeeiuu, and I felt all these senses of pressure and releasing in my body, and I couldn’t believe that I just found myself settling into the couch and my mind just sort of slowed down, and I dropped into a state of well being…possibly for the first time EVER in my life. I mean I was 35 or something 33 years old, and I got off the couch, and I had to drive home at like 30 miles an hour…really really slowly, and I felt really calm and settled, and I kept on laughing.

And I had an extraordinary reaction. And so I went back for some more treatments, and about 6 months, and my tinnitus changed during the treatment as well, and it backed off. It got much more manageable. 6 months later, I had probably I don’t know 4, 5 sessions. I actually woke up one morning in total silence.

And so after what had been like 18 years or really, I mean having tinnitus, and I had really bad tinnitus, I’m not going to go into all the gory details, it was very bad. To go from that into silence was very very inspiring, and I was so amazed by this process, I decided to train with a cranio-sacral therapist, and when I was a student I started practicing on people with tinnitus, and I’ve just always had a busy practice, even when I was a student. I started helping other people with tinnitus.

And my tinnitus would come and go. It would come back and it would back off and it would spike and it would do all sorts of things. But over these last 10 years, it’s receded into nothingness. And it takes a hell of a lot to bring it back these days. I mean, if I go skiing for 6 hours non stop, or if I drink 3 or 4 cups of coffee or if I have a cold, and that was always a bad thing for me, these days it might just appear in the tiniest way, but it’s very very brief, and very temporary, and it backs off very very readily. And I’ve gone from one extreme to the other.

And that’s why I set up my practice, and I’ve helped loads of people with tinnitus, and I’m very very grateful to my tinnitus, because it has transformed my life, and it has taught me how to listen to the body in a way that I never would have dreamt possible. Before, I used to live in my head. I was in a head space, which tinnitus loves.

But tinnitus said “listen to your body” and that’s what it’s doing, it’s getting you to listen to your body. And by really learning to do that, I’m very grounded these days, and I’m very in touch with well being. And that’s why I haven’t got tinnitus. So this, health-o-meter that tinnitus has become has really led me into a lifestyle that suits me and a space of health and well being that I’ve never been in before. You know, I’ve never been so well. You talk about aging being difficult, but if you really look after yourself, actually, you can feel better, quite a lot better.

So that’s really my story with tinnitus, and because I’ve let go of my tinnitus, I can’t bear it when other people have tinnitus, and I feel like I really want to help them let go of tinnitus, because I know it’s a moveable feast. You know, everything changes and nothing makes me more angry when somebody says there’s nothing you can do about tinnitus, because it is simply not true. I know we can do a lot to help our tinnitus. I know this. You know, doctors have said “that’s nonsense,” and I say “I know. It’s true. I can’t pretend any other way.”

And I also know with clients, having worked with hundreds of people, that other people can let go of it too. So, I’m in this sort of interesting, strangely positive situation, but I struggle when other people have it, because I want them to let go of it too.

    I practised habituation naturally for over 20 years and it worked great. No one new I had tinnitus and this was my greatest strength. Now that I have come out of the closet, it has suddenly become an issue for me. Okay, so I’m trying to habituate once again. I thought tinnitus was normal and never gave it any power, this was my greatest asset!

    It suddenly became louder in 12/09 due to many factors, stress, deaths, ipod too loud, etc…

    I know it can go into remmission, or perhaps even be cured. This is my experience!

    I hope this short comment helps. I want to freely help anyone who suffers from T. Please let me know how I can help!

    I first noticed the ringing in my ears November 1, 1977. It has been with me since then. Sometimes I can go for days without hearing it, other times it can get quite loud and intrusive. I just decided that I wanted to *cure* it — the medical people, plus others, say it’s incurable, but I’m sure it is indeed curable; that saying it is incurable is only a negative (and incorrect) suggestion. And when I googled tinnitus, I found your website, so I guess I’m ready to cure it. I’ve been doing self-hypnosis for years, but could never figure out what sort of suggestions to give myself to cure it, since whenever I try to do self-hypnosis for the tinnitus, it suddenly becomes VERY LOUD. So I’m hoping you will have some good suggestions for self-hypnosis. :-)

    Do I understand rightly when I say that your cure is hypnosis?

      Hey Percy, ahh…no that would not be accurate. We offer a program that helps you attain physical, emotional, mental, and personal well being. You begin to “peel the layers” of tinnitus, it backs off some…sometimes people experience temporary spikes…then things settle more. We offer a thorough program that walks you step by step “out” from tinnitus. The rest of the videos explain more, and feel free to give me a call at 1 317 713 1177 if you have any further questions. That’s a 24/7 voicemail and I’m happy to call you back…

    Hi,

    I currently have Tinnitus and have so for about 8 months. I am 41 and otherwise very healthy.

    I am trying to understand how your program can help cure tinnitus using a good outlook onlife and well being. While I hope it does work, it was explained to me that due to a small amount of hearing loss my brain is now looking for those high pitched sounds it can no longer hear and therefore creates the tinnitus.

    I fail to see how you can simply have a good outlook to turn it off, it is a neurological disorder that cannot be remedied because the hearing can never be returned to normal. Please explain?

      Dear Darren,

      Why do you summarize our program as “use a good outlook on life and well being?” Have you read Julian Cowan Hill’s eBook and applied the 4 guidelines from our program?

      To explain, we guide you to choose appropriate physical and emotional/mental therapies that work for you. Your personal outlook is a part of things, and how you live your life certainly affects your health. We’ve covered the science and theory on various Cure Tinnitus Shows, to which members have access, which you can watch (risk free, money back guarantee, evaluate for $1 for a whole month), if you like.

      At our site, you learn from the collected knowledge of people who have already healed themselves. Does that help?

    I guess my point is that I was told that Tinnitus is a result of hearing loss and as I said above, the brain makes up for those frequencys that it no longer hears, hence the ringing sound.

    So therefore, I fail to see how how watching a video about the “Theory” and “science” about the problem can actually cure it.

    I agree that how you live your life affects your health, that is a truism. But how I live my life does not affect the fact that the Tinnitus is there.
    Living a healthy life with a positive outlook is a great thing, but to relate this to a cure for tinnitus to me is akin to sticking your head in the sand.

    If it were as simple as wishing it away 99 percent of people would not be reading this website.

    As for using a healthy lifestyle and positive outlook to deal with tinnitus, I am all for that, but that is hardly a cure and really only a matter of pretending it is not there when medically and it is as the cause of it still remains and cannot be repaired.

    I am not trying to sound negative but am looking at this from a real point of view. Please correct me where I am wrong.

    Thanks
    Darren.

      Dear Darren: Where are you coming up with the assumption that we advocate “wishing tinnitus away?” Since you’ve asked, I can respectfully reply that you are “wrong” with certain parts of your logic. More “illogical” than wrong, but I’ll use the term “wrong” for now…

      You are wrong in that you haven’t yet made an assessment of what you are judging. It’s like saying “I don’t like Florida” without ever having been there.

      It’s not “bad” to be wrong, it’s just that continued reasoning based on false assumptions leads to shaky conclusions.

      Can you honestly say that seeking out people who have healed themselves is “sticking your head in the sand?” I benefit greatly from having made contact with people who’ve healed themselves as well as the therapists who’ve helped them.

      Our program is much more thorough than just “wishful thinking,” and I’d like to approach things in such a manner so that you can grasp that. I’m also perfectly happy with my efforts not working. If you want to call us a bunch of head in the sand wishful thinkers, that’s really OK with me. In general, people come to us when they are ready to create a therapeutic plan that will help them manage, reduce, and eliminate tinnitus.

      The thing about tinnitus “elimination” is that everyone (placed in complete silence) actually has tinnitus, so you can’t heal people from something that is a natural part of their immune systems. But you CAN heal from having heightened awareness of your tinnitus.

      There are a lot of assumptions in your message that bear to be tested. Conjecture is not a safe place to be when making decisions about your health. I’d much rather know the science, gather feedback and input, learn from those who’ve achieved what I’d like to achieve, and then move forward.

      Hey, and if that doesn’t work for you, I’m totally cool with that…you know? Don’t join CureTinnitus.org then. It’s OK. If you want help, join. If you feel ready and right about joining, then join.

      It’s totally risk free, and you really don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.

    Hi, please dont take offense to what I wrote, I am merely asking questions.

    Can you explain this statement to me please?
    “The thing about tinnitus “elimination” is that everyone (placed in complete silence) actually has tinnitus, so you can’t heal people from something that is a natural part of their immune systems.”

    That is not true as prior to having tinnitus, I NEVER had any sound when placed in complete quiet.

    Again, in your last reply you speak of reducing, and eliminating Tinnitus, and that is fantastic if you can, but the reality is that you cannot eliminate it. In fact by saying you can you contradict yourself from the statement I quoated above.

    i really hope this works. when or if i join this(most likely when) that my tinnitus will go away. i would like to know how long it would take, like on average how long does it take, my tinnitus is brand new and i don’t want it to get worse since im still young and im sure that i will have alot of tragic emotional moments to make it worse when i get older. im thinking a little too much right now, just to draw the attention away from the noise, and its causing me to feel a little tense around the neck and shoulder area.
