    New to Tinnitus — Possible Causes: Hearing Loss, Wim Hof Method, Stimulants (Adderall)

    @tylerpoor73, it's likely the Wim Hof. I had the same exact reaction, as did many others who tried the Wim Hof breathing method. I even started a post about it 2 years ago. High-pitched "eeeeee" tinnitus, ears that won't pop, initial hyperacusis, pressure in ears in the very beginning (which...

    Tinnitus Began First Week of June 2020 After Wim Hof Breathing

    @Renfrey, you're most welcome! I have been away for a while but just checking in to see how everyone is doing. If anyone has had progress in reducing their "stuffed ears" or high-pitched tinnitus, please do share. As many of you probably agree, I think we're fighting a two pronged battle here...

    That's a great video! It clearly shows there's a connection between WHM and tinnitus. What angers me is how Wim puts the blame on the WHM participant when he never warns of tinnitus in any of his videos. I remember when I received the intro beginner videos two years ago, there was zero mention...

    @constant eee, sorry to hear about your tinnitus. A lot of us, including myself, deal with this constant high-pitched "eeeee" tinnitus thanks to Wim Hof breathing. My only solace is I got two coworkers to quit before they wound up getting hurt from it. In answer to your question, my jaw felt...

    Tinnitus Began First Week of June 2020 After Wim Hof Breathing

    Hi @Greg9840, I'm sorry to hear about your ordeal. I remember when I did the breath hold I felt pins and needles in my hands and extremities but it went away within seconds. What didn't go away unfortunately was the tinnitus. Like others have said, we suspect Wim Hof tinnitus could be a...

    Your insight is excellent, thanks! Ok, I bought Xlear nasal spray and am trying it tonight for the first time. I'll let you know how it goes. If I see any improvement in time I'll be extremely happy.

    Interesting! To be honest, I never checked out fungal issues as a culprit but I have been using the Xlear sinus rinse and when I rinse with it, and blow my nose, I hear a squeaking noise as if my Eustachian tubes are being temporarily opened up. I did try the nasal spray and can try that again...

    What you said, "victim of Wim Hof breathing" is exactly the case. Wim is recklessly harming people and he doesn't care at all. The guy is a real piece of sh*t. Please let me know how the HBOT affects your tinnitus. I've had this high-pitched ringing since June 2020 and I'd be quite interested...

    The steroids helped but only temporarily. Once the cycle was up, the ringing came right back. I no longer have ear pain but I still can't unclog my ears (as if I'm in a high altitude). The high pitched ringing never stops either. I don't know which ear it originates from. It could be from the...

    I haven't been on the forum in a while but have now returned. I'm very sorry to hear about your experiences. As for the lawsuit, this bastard should be sued for millions for all the misery he's caused people. None of the side effects were mentioned in his promo videos he sent out in 2020 and a...

    Tinnitus Began First Week of June 2020 After Wim Hof Breathing

    I couldn't have said it any better. Last week I found out that a friend and co-worker of mine was doing WHM and I told him to immediately stop it and told him about my tinnitus story. He couldn't believe it and was shocked because he never saw anything on a Wim Hof website warning about...

    Thanks for contributing to the forum, sorry for my late reply! I really hope you're right, about WHM tinnitus not being permanent. I've been dealing with this garbage since June 2020 and it hasn't gotten much better. When I'm active, outside, or among friends I don't notice it. But when I'm in...

    I'd been doing the same unfortunately. Still dealing with the high pitched ringing and stuck ears. I noticed the ringing is at its worst in the morning when I wake up, so that's why I was wondering if this was AFS since the morning is when cortisol release is peaking. I don't know man... I'm...

    @Lukee, I'm wondering if we're dealing with adrenal fatigue syndrome as a result of elevated cortisol during the breath hold which led to the spike in cortisol -> sympathetic response -> tinnitus in a nasty loop. I'm wondering if this has something to do with our type of tinnitus caused by Wim Hof.

    @Petit I agree with @Lukee here. Please protect your ears and please stay away from Wim Hof. I also agree that Wim is a piece of crap. Hundreds of people are suffering from this tinnitus and he does nothing to help. Just peddle his videos to unsuspecting people.
