LAUD you for your compassion and initiative...
"I really appreciate what you’ve put together. Truly comforting.…LAUD you for you compassion & initiative on this!"
--Bob M.
Appreciate it beyond words
"Delighted, appreciate it beyond words…"
Julian Cowan Hill R.C.S.T.
"If you really look after yourself and learn to get in touch with how you are feeling inside and learn to process that, that is the way out of tinnitus. Most people spend their whole lives running away from themselves, filling their lives with furious frantic activity, proving this, doing that. The best thing you can do is sit with yourself and notice how you are, how you are treating yourself. And if you can treat yourself with loving kindness and really accept how you are with a really wonderful, open-hearted, deep, caring approach, just like you would mother a baby, for example. If you can really look after yourself, your nervous system will change. Nothing is fixed. Everything is constantly changing and flowing, and it is entirely dependent on the way you approach yourself. Look after yourself, and your tinnitus will back off."
Wow, good stuff...“I REALLY appreciate your asking Julian about my questions this morning! You posed them in such a clear and dear way and protective of my ‘identity”. It is amazing that I was home and able to listen. I had over slept, (I am on vacation) had missed an early appointment for my car and so I called, cancelled it and looked on my computer and it was 8 minutes to the broadcast! Was I surprised, delighted and grateful to hear you both discuss the issues that are pressing me. I thank you. I also am taking your website and Julian’s advice and working on awareness of RED-ALERT and difficulty surrendering or relaxing into support. Wow, good stuff. Julian reminds me a bit of Ekhart Tolle. Doesn’t he you? And funny to say, you remind me of myself when you are questioning him! With gratitude”

I really feel you're going to make some peoples' lives millions of times better. I really do.
I would just like to say thank you for what you are doing. This world is really lacking people like you that aren't all about themselves. It really makes me pleased to see that you're getting your and Julian's ideas out there, and I really feel you're going to make some peoples' lives millions of times better. I really do.

Saved my life...--B.
Kevin Hogan
"It's not unethical to say that it's incurable, it's just totally incorrect. In fact, if I go back and I look at the cases that I've worked on, and I've worked with thousands of people over a decade, and the vast majority, are either dramatically better, or their tinnitus is gone. One of the two."
...my tinnitus was gone
""It is not coincidence that I saw your e-mail this am, right at the time I realized my tinnitus was gone."--E. B. California
Dr. Hans Greuel
"I can say in good conscience that tinnitus is curable. That's the bottom line: that tinnitus is curable, and I dare say, for just about everyone who comes down with it."
Please don't tell the ATA"As I may have mentioned earlier, ATA.org is incredibly mediocre (if that much!), compared to your organization. I even found the British T. site far superior to ATA.org and now, I have found you guys!!!"

(Honestly, we want to stay friends with the ATA and we cherish the work they do...so let's keep this one between us...)
Great Conference Calls“…The conference calls are great as we can help each other”

Paul Tobey
"It's such an incredibly low volume if I recognize it once a week it's just because I'm out in the backyard looking at the stars thanking the universe for what it has given to me, and I go 'how did I get to this point?" Oh yeah tinnitus helped me get here. Let's listen to it for a second, let's pay hommage to the tinnitus for a second and go thanks you did some good work. Thank you.
T is becoming less and less noticable"…with the help of this site, I am learning to deal with [edited] and my -T- is becoming less and less noticeable."

You Are Truly An Insipration"I just want to add that you are truly an inspiration and I hope that more people find your website. I find your videos (and especially this one) to be enlightening, and it really gives me hope, and I’m sure others too. God bless."

Literally clearing the fog from 20 years of T
"the information, research, support, and shows with dainis and julian are literally clearing the fog of the T i have endured for 20 years. it’s not about the ears it’s about the body and soul. i’m sure ancient wisdom had more answers to T than the entire medical community has at this time. this site is really quite groundbreaking."
--S
Mental Clarity And Calm
"A very simple thing - progress for me today was after work,instead of "rushing" home because of fatigue, I walked down another street and sat in the sun with a warm beverage. This resulted in some mental clarity and calm, as well a experiencing a choice of a positive new behavior. It felt expansive...'cause T can lead one to be hemmed in."
--Member s.
RE: Gone?
"After a short period of T-free happyness, my T (scale 4/10) came back for a few weeks (stressfull times, bought a house etc..). Did lots of relaxation exercises, stretching and yoga and now it's gone again (scale 1/10). I would like to ask Julian about the following [...edited...] Keep up the good work!!!"
--Member R.
Much Calmer About Tinnitus Now...
"When I started the programme shortly after developing T, I was terrified of tinnitus and felt that I had no control over it. I lay awake at night panicking that it would get worse. I am now much calmer about it, thanks largely to this site and Julian Cowan Hill's e-book which I strongly recommend. I am beginning to realise that my pace of life consistently exceeds my energy levels and that my T is probably connected to this. For me, T fluctuates a lot, but when I have a bad patch I comfort myself that it will probably lessen after a few days if I take better care of myself. I have only had a few minutes of total relief in the past five months, sometimes before going to sleep or early in the morning, but I'm aware that I have a long way to go in the personal wellbeing stakes, so it would be surprising if I were already better. The school holidays are a very busy time for me and the fact that I have got through them without a major tinnitus meltdown is itself encouraging. I shall be tuning in for the next show! Best wishes, D.H."

T subsided...
"After suffering from a catastrophic tinnitus for almost two years,it subsided in the last month to level 5 in a scale of 1-10 and sometimes even to level 2...My question is what will happen when I..."

Taking Better Care Of Myself
"information on T is settling in to my psyche, some underlying depression issues are being addressed, I'm getting on with life, taking care of myself better, and doing things I enjoy more. I have even recently shed a negative friend or 2...thank you"

Your site has helped IMMENSELY...
"I'm just 26 and enjoy loud music so was terrified when I thought my tinnitus was getting so bad that I'd hear it all the time. I went into a state where I kept monitoring it and thought that it had suddenly gotten really bad. This was about a week ago and coincided with a very stressful day so I suspected that had something to do with it. Your site has helped IMMENSELY in alleviating my concerns about it and now I'm pretty much totally over the fear that I'll have ringing in my ears my whole life. In fact, since a few hours after reading the information on your site, I've stopped noticing it at all, and I'm not worried about it when trying to sleep (I don't hear it during the day now because I'm not listening for it and I'm more relaxed so its quieter). Now that I'm proactively relaxing myself and trying to be happier in my life, the ringing has mostly subsided and I can only hear it when I put my fingers in my ears to create complete silence. From suicidal thoughts to complete peace in under 2 hours. Thank you again!!" PS: I even went to a Metallica concert last night and forgot to bring my earplugs -- and the tinnitus has not flared back
-Tegan Nejad: Perth, Australia
PPS From Dainis: Yes, we do have stories like these, though for some members, the process takes longer. In any case, it's enjoyable to come "out" from tinnitus and experience well being. Thanks Tegan for sharing :-)
What do you do when you can’t find the reason as to what is causing the tinnitus spikes? i.e. When the tinnitus is variable? It is difficult to see how calming the nervous system will help when there is no pattern as to when it is loud or quiet. Thanks.
My tinnitus seems louder when I lay down (tinnitus attacks at night)This morning in bed. When I change my position in bed, it goes away for a while. Then after a while my mind searches automatically for it and finds the wind:S.
THen it sounds more like a windy noise. And when…Really frustrating, cause at day I can get distracted eassily. Is this sort of tinnitus also to get remisson from? It’s not really a beep…
Is this common?
Julian,
If you watched the Jennifer Battaglino Interview. What do you think of it? Her vision etc.
I’m starting to think my wife is abusive towards me. I looked these “10 Signs Your Wife Or Girlfriend Is An Emotional Bully” up at a site called Shrink for Men: http://shrink4men.wordpress.com/2009/01/30/10-signs-your-girlfriend-or-wife-is-an-emotional-bully/ also, with what you can look up at wikipedia, my wife is verbally and emotionally abusing me, and she even hit me before. Lately, I feel super-emotionally beat down and kind of like everything is spinning, because over the last few years, i’ve asked my wife to stop verbally and emotionally abusing me and i’ve shared with her all the details about what i think is going on and what could help. but her verbal abuse is totally relentless, and i’m talking more about her not letting me finish my sentences, her talking over me, her negating basically everything i say, her disregard for normal requests like cleaning up after herself, her getting so crazy mad when i ask her normal questions like “honey, where did you put the glue?” the list goes on and on and on and i feel disrespected every single day. if you really want to look at it, our whole life is a shambles, my career is a wreck, and my wife simply doesn’t keep her promises…i keep thinking she’ll start doing what she says, and she’s really believable when she says she’ll be somewhere, do something, stop the verbal abuse, etc., but then the pattern just starts over again.
The thing that really gets to me is that a few years back, I tried out a “Law of Attraction” type meditation and prayer…and I did it really regularly…and my wife totally changed the way she treated me. But then I felt like I was controlling my wife, that her behavior was actually directed by me, if that makes any sense. So I stopped…but then she got really really abusive.
Her abuse is mostly behind closed doors, so I feel totally isolated. Divorce proceedings favor women to an insane degree, and we have kids…so I wind up feeling trapped, confused and very emotionally charged.
I honestly just wish she would stop with the verbal abuse.
So, it seems pretty obvious to me that my relationship with my wife is a big cause of my tinnitus, but when I even come close to mentioning that, my wife goes ballistic. I mean…I feel like I’m just asking her to treat me with kindness, you know?
I’m not sure if you can help me on the Cure Tinnitus Show, and I don’t know if this is the kind of stuff that you talk about, but thanks for your work, I can see how all this stuff here makes a lot of sense…and I’ll be checking out the show…
Julian,
Is the following issue fear/anxiety-related?
I went to manual therapist..A fysiotherapist..
In the waiting-room, I always hear my wind sound overwhelming me in silence…in silence at home it’s never that bad…
I am almost a year at home, feeling depressive, burned out, so maybe fear is kickin in?
Thanks for bringing up and discussing my question. I enjoyed listening to the dialogue this brought about. Julian’s comments that noone really knows why the spikes happen and why tinnitus sometimes gets significantly louder from one day to the next really brings something more fundamental into question for me.
How can we use tinnitus as a healthometer or as a friend trying to give us a message, to take better care of ourselves? The healthometer idea is fundamental to the philosophy of this site. A gauge is surely only useful if its results can be interpreted with some accuracy. A case in point for me is that last weekend my tinnitus backed right down to almost nothing for a day(bliss). On that particular day my child was very ill and in alot of distress and my partner was unfortunately away for the weekend – so not ideal conditions for my overall wellness I can assure you! BUT if wellness is the oppositise of tinnitus then this must mean I was well?
I am not trying to be arguementative here I promise. This is just an observation. I am trying understand and to deal with tinnitus as best as I can.
Regards, Mary
…just noticing that the music “ducking” did not work in the show conversion…it’s TOO LOUD in the intro…I’ll look into that!
