@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...

@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...

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...

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.

@Surej, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I, like many others including yourself have been dealing with the constant "eee" tinnitus from Wim Hof for quite some time. In my case, since June 2020. In my own opinion, I see Wim Hof as a bastardized form of pranayama breathing which could...

Interesting, consider yourself lucky. The nausea was really bad and driving back from the beach like that sucked. I felt like I was driving with a really bad hangover. My guess is it may have something to do with any kind of inflammation or damage that could have happened to our middle ear...

Hey man, I'm really sorry to hear that. When did these other symptoms start for you? I had pretty bad hyperacusis in the beginning and I think it got better as time went on. The liquid in the ears sucks. And your tinnitus is getting worse? What is the sound you're experiencing right now? Is it...

@Lukee, hey man! I'm still here... and still hearing the damn "eeeeeeeeeeee" in my head. How are you doing? Have you been making any progress? I feel like part of this is dealing with some type of physical damage or nerve damage that we have to slowly overcome. I've been taking my Ayurvedic...

This is where I had purchased mine: Vadik Herbs, Saraswati Churna, 100 ct Hey man, how's everything going! By the way, watch out for that Valsalva maneuver. I was following a YouTube video about 6 months ago (Austin Guo) where he recommends doing a few Valsalva's back to back to heal tinnitus...

Are you still experiencing pressure and pain in your head when you bend over?

I believe mine is in both ears but my left ear is definitely more problematic. When I went to my ENT last year he didn't find any wax. I wish that was the cause of our tinnitus, would make things very easy. But I feel like there's been nerve damage or ETD that's been caused. Not to say we can't...

Hey guys, how's everything going lately? By the way, has anyone had any luck with Magnesium? I took transdermal Magnesium the other night and in addition to it knocking me out to a good night's sleep, my tinnitus was very low the following morning. I'd used this brand in particular...

Got it. MSM sounds very interesting. So you have inner ear pressure when you bend over to tie shoes etc? That's what I was experiencing last year and it went away after I had used the Prednisone. But now this left ear issue is starting with some pressure. It feels like an ear ache to be honest...

With the Saraswati I noticed results in the first day. It was that immediate. It had more of a benefit to the nervous system in my case. It made me feel extremely relaxed, acted as mood booster, and I didn't notice the high-pitched ringing as much. The only discomfort was the raise in blood...

My left ear has been problematic since the beginning and was unable to unclog. It hadn't bothered me much but after the Reiki treatment I'm noticing the feeling of it trying to unclog itself. So that's more of what I meant. When I was yawning before my left ear did nothing. Now I'm at least...

Welcome and I'm very sorry you've joined us here. I think all of us share the same symptoms. It it my sincere hope that we can figure out these symptoms and get healed. It's all trial and error experimentation unfortunately. Hang in there. If you need a board to come to, this is the place.

Update on me. So I tried Reiki the past two weeks and without telling the Reiki Master anything we conducted a remote distance healing and I swear I felt heat in my left ear and the tinnitus dropped down to nearly zero during the session and a bit after it. After the session she said she felt...

I personally wouldn't listen to ANYTHING Wim has to say. I got hoodwinked because I was receiving his stupid email blasts around the height of COVID-19 last year and thought I'd have to commute back into NYC, so I was freaking out about having to take the bus back to work. I wish I had a time...

I used to play in a band 20 years ago and had a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier in back of me at all times. I did use ear plugs but I'm sure the noise didn't help. I've always been to my fair share of rock concerts and would get ear ringing lasting 1-2 days. But, WHM was what did it for me. I've...

I haven't done them in a while but I will actually start doing them again because they helped my ears and ET feel better. I definitely recommend doing them if you have ear pain!

Thanks @Renfrey and hey @Lukee! Guys, I have my second meeting with my doctor tomorrow and will give you an update along with information on the regime I'm on with her. I know I've been AWOL the past several days (work has been kicking my butt) but I'll be back more regularly and I hope to have...

You haven't experienced any side effects from the tracks? I think I listened to the first one a while ago and I didn't like the way it made me feel, I almost felt a bit nauseous. I can always try it again though.

Do you feel any increase in heart rate or dizziness by taking the Tru Niagen? What side effects do you feel from it, if any? This sounds really interesting. I'm still waiting for my new Ayurvedic meds to show up. Hopefully they will in the next few days. I'm very interested to hear about...

Ahh, you're the other member here seeing an Ayurvedic doctor, very cool. Sure, my first doctor prescribed 500 mg of Saraswati Churna to be taken in the morning. If you can handle it after 1-2 weeks, you can up it to two pills but I would try 500 mg first and see how you feel.

@Lukee ok, I spoke with this new Ayurvedic doctor and got her take on all the supplements I've been taking. We'll see man... she said the reason why my blood pressure might have gone up from the Saraswati Churna was because traditional Ayurvedic medicine might be too powerful for those raised on...

Hey @Renfrey, I have not tried those sound tracks that you guys use. I think I'll try them actually. Can you reply with the link? Thanks man!

Awesome man! Let me know how your session goes and what the Ayurvedic physician prescribes for you. Yea, I can't wait to go back on the supplements. These past 2 weeks have been pretty bad, ringing wise. What is your supplement regimen right now? I've not yet tried Taurine. Is there any side...

My Easter diet most definitely didn't help, lol. All the cakes, sweets, chocolate, occasional beer. Pretty much everything that tinnitus sufferers are told to avoid. Yea man, this condition really sucks. I can't even watch a movie on tv because the tinnitus starts ringing over the movie. So I...

@Kran3050 Our experiences mirror each other's to a "T". Both ENTs I went to had no answer for the oxygen deprivation being a culprit in tinnitus. Actually, the first one ruled it out completely and said there were no signs of barotrauma from my MRI. I have no idea... I know when I first went on...

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. It seems that you and I got our tinnitus around the same time, except for me it only took two sessions. It's very disheartening also that no one from the Wim Hof camp wants to address this in order to help those that are suffering from the high...

Hey @Lukee, the ear ache is totally gone. I think I had blown my nose a bit too hard after doing the sinus cleanse last week. The past few days had been rough... the high-pitched ringing was evident for sure, especially with all the bad eating that was taking place due to the Easter holiday. Too...

Hey @Lukee, I'm counting the days man until April 12! At this point, I cannot wait to get back on my Ayurvedic supplements. I just want an explanation for the rise in blood pressure. If I hear a good reason for why it happens and that it's not something to be overly concerned with, I'm going...

Thanks for the tip. As I type this, my left ear is aching (probably from blowing my nose too hard). I'll try it again tonight but I won't blow my nose hard. As for your headaches, it could very well be those things you mentioned. A few years ago I had really bad migraines from too much...

Hey, that's exactly the sound I hear when I blow my nose after using the nasal rinse. A high-pitch squeak. Both ears actually squeak, but I am pleasantly surprised every time I hear the left ear squeak because that's been the more problematic ear this past year. How many days a week would you...

Guys, just wanted to update you on something. So, I've been using a nasal cleanse (i.e. XLEAR) the past few days. After I use it and blow my nose, I can hear popping occurring in my left ear but now I've got ear pain and what feels like some ear fullness in my left ear. So, not sure what's going...

@Lukee I think he was going by my MRI which I had done last summer. I'll read the MRI results off here. I suspect our conditions might be similar due to how we all developed our tinnitus: "Findings: No region of hemorrhage nerve edema is seen. There is no mass effect nor midline shift. There...

@Lukee, ok... I'm going to get a second opinion from an Ayurvedic doctor on the supplements, only because the one supplement (Saraswati Churna) made my blood pressure go up slightly. Then again, I'm very sensitive to supplements. Anyway, I was told by my previous doctor that this effect should...

Hey guys, I hope you've been doing well. So, I was waiting on one last supplement that finally came in the mail and now I've begun my supplementation program. For the past 2 days I've been consistently doing my Ayurvedic supplementation which consists of taking Dashmoola and Yograj Guggulu in...

Hey guys! I've been swamped with work lately but I'll have something to add this week and you'll see me back more regularly! Btw, I've added a new tool to my regime, Xlear Nasal Cleanse. It's a squeeze bottle Neti Pot that has a unique solution that contains Xylitol, which is supposed to help...

@Lukee, how's everything going man? Any news on your end regarding your CST sessions? Nothing new with me as of yet. I'll be coming back to the board more regularly this week. Last week I just got slammed with work. Hope everyone is doing alright.

Awesome to see you're getting positive results with CST. What is the amount of Magnesium you're taking, out of curiosity?

@Lukee you and me both. This experience has really opened my eyes to alternative forms of healthcare. I did some reading into this topic and found this link: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/5th-chakra-and-tinnitus.1428/ Someone mentions pranic healing (closely related to reiki healing...

Good for you! Let me know how your next session goes. I sent my CS therapist all of the info we found on WHM and going into parasympathetic etc, and have her reading them. I'm hoping my next appintment with her will be quite interesting. Regarding your sensations, I can tell you 1-2 days after I...

I do feel I've made improvements as far as ear pressure go. Definitely. The last things to get healed will be the ringing and lack of ear popping. So, on a side note, the past few days I've been practicing deep meditation and I've noticed the tinnitus dropping after I get out of the meditation...

Interesting theory! Regarding your morning symptoms mine are just the opposite! I feel like the tinnitus is loudest as soon as I wake up. Caffeine, white sugar, stress, and cold damp weather seem to exacerbate it as well. Cold dry weather not so much, but dampness and rain, definitely. I can...

Do you find the cold showers help alleviate the tinnitus at all? That's something I never tried. I know tonight when I came in from the cold I could feel my ears sort of closing off and the tinnitus got aggravated (possibly pointing to inflammation?) That sucks about lack of healthcare, sorry...

I don't know if it's the same crackling you guys are referring to, but when I swallow I do often get a crackling noise coming from my ears. I've been attributing it to possibly ETD because my ears won't pop correctly. Now here's the weird thing... when I blew my nose tonight I could feel air...

Hey guys. Sorry for my angry rant in previous post. I know the intention of this thread is to exchange ideas and experiences to help each other ultimately find a cure for our WHM induced tinnitus. I had just gotten so angry last night about this whole Wim Hof experience that I needed to get...

Yes, when I swallow I hear that crackling too. You're not alone. I feel like our symptoms are all pretty much the same... ears that either won't pop or fullness, high pitched "eeeee" tinnitus, which means the injury we all suffered is probably the same or similar. Off topic... it honestly...
