welcome everyone dr mandel here millions
and millions of people worldwide are
suffering from tinnitus
this ringing hissing roaring sounds that
you're hearing in your ears
this is a condition that most doctors
don't understand
although what i'm going to share with
you today
is going to help many people out there
to reduce that noise
first i want to briefly explain
how we hear noise sound waves travel
into the ear canal until they reach the
eardrum the eardrum passes the vibration
through the middle ear bones or ossicles
into the inner ear
the inner ear is shaped like a snail and
it is called the cochlea
inside the cochlea there are thousands
of tiny hair cells these hair cells
change the vibration into electrical
signals that are sent to the brain
through the hearing nerve which is
called the auditory nerve the brain
tells you that you are hearing a sound
and what the sound is now there are many
hair cells within the cochlea and these
hair cells can be damaged from loud
sounds
and when these hair cells are damaged
they die and they do not grow back so
it's the auditory nerve that's sending
this electrical activity to the brain
and because these hear cells are damaged
that electrical activity becomes
distorted
causing you to hear these weird sounds
that we call tinnitus now most
physicians believe that this is the only
reason why you're getting tinnitus and
that's not true
let me explain a little bit about the
eustachian tubes you have two eustachian
tubes it's a canal that connects the
middle ear to the nasal pharynx which
consists of the upper throat and the
back of the nasal cavity it controls the
pressure within the middle ear making it
equal with air pressure outside the body
so when you yawn swallow or chew the
estation tube opens behind the nasal
pharynx
and it does so so air can come inside
the eustachian tube
to have equal balance between the
outside of the ear and the middle ear
and when that pressure is off balance we
start building more pressure and
inflammation
which causes tinnitus ringing in the ear
ear pain and many other symptoms
so think back when you had a cold a
sinus problem you were congested you
were diving deep in the ocean you were
up in a plane and your ears pop
when you yawn wide like when you chew
gum
those gestation tubes can open up and
equalize that pressure again now what
about people who suffer from allergies
it's the same thing
the estation tubes are being affected
and that pressure is affecting the
middle ear which affects the inner ear
which directly affects the brain the
main nerve that controls tinnitus which
is ringing in the air
as well as dizziness
is cranial nerve eight called the
vestibulocochlear nerve
yes
you bet we're going to stimulate that
area
that's going to be one of our techniques
to help you with your tinnitus so the
first technique is going to be superior
to potment and we're going to stimulate
the suboccipital region
let me explain
you're going to feel the ridge
underneath the back of the skull
i want you to take your thumbs like this
and put it right underneath that ridge
and we're going to go up like this 10
times 1 2 3
10. now i want you to do it fast
now go back 10 slow
one more time 10 fast
this neural stimulation is going to send
messages back to the brain as the brain
will communicate through the nervous
system
you'll feel a tingling a sensation
you'll feel
as if you're more alert now we're going
to stimulate the estation tubes by doing
so you'll feel a lot of warmth
immediately after
you're going to get drainage if you have
sinus or congestion you're going to see
great changes you first might want to
take a tissue and wipe the oils off your
ears because when we grab them with our
first two fingers
of both hands we don't want it to slip
take your first two fingers grab your
ears on both sides like this get in
there and grab it
and you're going to pull out and a
little forward but you're going to do it
10 times the same rhythm we did
initially with the other technique
grab it you're going to pull out a
little forward like this 1 2 3 4 5 6
8 9
grab it again and you'll go fast again
this time one two three four five six
seven eight nine ten and you go back
slow again one two three four five six
seven eight nine 10 and go back 10
fast again 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.
you'll feel a sensation immediately
because you're stimulating those
gestation tubes by causing that
stretching throughout the whole entire
air region now we're going to stimulate
the external auditory canal
that is your outer ear
we don't want to use our other fingers
only our thumbs we don't want to use the
nail side use the fleshy part you're
going to put it as far as you can inside
the holes of your ears and you're going
to do the same rhythm 10 you're going to
push in and pull out push in and pull
out 10 times like this one
two
five six
and you'll feel like a popping sensation
that's what we're trying to do we're
trying to change pressure now we'll do
10 more that are fast
now 10 that are slow
you'll feel a nice suction in there
and 10 that are fast
i know it might feel weird or even sound
strange that popping sound that pressure
that's what we're trying to accomplish
we're trying to re-establish
communication between the ears and the
brain
now the last part of this technique is
very powerful we're going to stimulate
underneath the mastoid process if you
look at the mastoid process that is
located on the temporal part of our
skull
just for your knowledge the scm or the
sternocleidomastoid muscle attaches here
yes when there is neuromuscular
involvement particularly of the scn
muscle that attaches underneath the
mastoid process from stress contracture
neck problems
that can cause tinnitus
so we're going to use the knife edge
which is the outside part of the hand
with little fingers on both sides
you're going to feel right behind the
ears the mastoid process
right here
you're going to take this area
put it right underneath it
okay this is what it will look like from
the back
but i want your hands underneath that
mastoid process and we're going to come
up ten times like this one two three
four five six seven eight nine ten and
we'll go ten times fast
good and you should feel pressure
underneath there and you're stimulating
it ten times slow
10 times fast get underneath there and
just stimulate it
now that last technique is powerful
you should feel lots of neural
stimulation increased blood supply to
the entire head
that's what we're trying to accomplish
trying to reset
the inner ear and the brain
so regardless of how bad your tinnitus
is
or the doctors who have told you that
you have to learn to live with it
there is always room for healing the
body is a self-healing organism
this technique is safe so do this
technique once twice or even three times
a day
you will see progress
if we can reduce the amount of tinnitus
that you're suffering from
you're going to be a very happy person
please share this with your friends and
family leave your comments below and
most important make it a great day
i'm dr alan mandel
