I Hear Music in Running Water: Is Oxytocin a Cure for Tinnitus?

WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:12.109 I it's November, eighteen, Wednesday daily emotions. Here I'm John Emotions. 2 00:00:12.189 --> 00:00:16.510 Thanks for listening. I was well, you know, they're trying to the 3 00:00:16.670 --> 00:00:23.899 second quote unquote lockdown in many cities and states around America. Trying to avoid 4 00:00:23.899 --> 00:00:28.940 that topic, I pretty much stay inside unless I have to. Basically just 5 00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:32.780 go to the grocery store on occasion, and when I do that I go 6 00:00:32.939 --> 00:00:38.210 late at night, mask up, hand sanitized when I'm done, wash my 7 00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:41.289 hands when you get home, that whole bit. So I'm not dripping too 8 00:00:41.369 --> 00:00:47.409 hard. I just don't understand, like people that insist on continually living as 9 00:00:47.490 --> 00:00:51.079 this, as if there is no pandemic. That's weird, unless, of 10 00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.560 course, you're shut in and yeah, keep living like that. It's funny, 11 00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:00.200 I guess. My point is the second lockdown is purely due to the 12 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.390 people who didn't wear their masks, and they're the ones who are most upset 13 00:01:03.590 --> 00:01:07.670 about a second lockdown. Well, you dumb focks, if you would have 14 00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:11.469 war your masks the first time, we wouldn't have a lockdown the second time. 15 00:01:11.030 --> 00:01:15.750 Dirt, it's all. We're talking about masks and pandemics today. So 16 00:01:15.829 --> 00:01:21.980 today I'm going to talk about this thing called TNIGHTAS tinitis. I've heard it 17 00:01:22.019 --> 00:01:25.420 pronounced both ways. I say tonights because I used to hear commercials all the 18 00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:29.780 time when I was a kid and they said do you have tenitas? So 19 00:01:29.939 --> 00:01:33.849 I'm calling it Tonightas if you want to look it up, it's spelled Ti 20 00:01:34.569 --> 00:01:42.810 and and it US tenitis. It's basically ringing in the ears. Before I 21 00:01:42.890 --> 00:01:46.730 get to that, I got to back up because here's the part that prompted 22 00:01:46.810 --> 00:01:52.879 me to start looking into a couple of other different things. When you go 23 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.519 to a therapist or psych doctor, they always ask you. One of the 24 00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.120 questions is do you hear voices in your head? Do you hear voices people 25 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:05.430 telling you to do things? And I do not. I have never. 26 00:02:06.670 --> 00:02:13.789 However, I hear music in running water, sometimes in machines, almost always 27 00:02:13.830 --> 00:02:19.580 in running water, a shower, a trickling river, things like that, 28 00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:24.379 not waves, not trying to think, basically running like a Fawcett, a 29 00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:31.490 shower, a river, and in that stream I hear highly articulated musical notes 30 00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:38.289 that are musical to me, person from the Western Hemisphere, so it's obviously 31 00:02:38.370 --> 00:02:45.240 western music and very pleasing. Like I'm not a musician, I'm a drummer, 32 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.840 but I you know, I know music and it's super elegant. I 33 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.840 wish I knew how to play a piano so I could capture some of the 34 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:59.830 songs I hear in the music. When I tell my doctors this, historically 35 00:03:00.550 --> 00:03:07.229 their response is something like Huh. Anyway, apparently it's not dangerous, just 36 00:03:07.389 --> 00:03:16.180 super weird. And the good news is I'm not crazy. So says an 37 00:03:16.259 --> 00:03:21.780 article I've found on the Internet. So I found article on the Internet that 38 00:03:21.979 --> 00:03:27.370 tells me the cause of this music that I hear. Man, I should 39 00:03:27.370 --> 00:03:32.650 have got on the Internet earlier and found out much sooner. So trigger warning. 40 00:03:32.810 --> 00:03:38.129 If you happen to have any kind of paranoia, schizophrenia, paranoid schizophrenia, 41 00:03:39.169 --> 00:03:44.080 please stop listening to this episode and move on to the next one. 42 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:51.960 So here's what caused, or is causing, apparently, my music in my 43 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:58.870 head. It's electronic harassment. The music I hear in running water, apparently 44 00:03:59.069 --> 00:04:04.509 is electronic harassment. Somebody around me, or is following me for most of 45 00:04:04.550 --> 00:04:10.900 my life, is shooting an electronic weapon at me that, when I turn 46 00:04:11.020 --> 00:04:15.180 on water, is able to pick up the sounds. Apparently that are shooting 47 00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:23.540 unheard of beautiful music to my brain. So I think if you're not familiar 48 00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:32.170 with electronic harassment, it's what happens to people called targeted individuals. Don't don't 49 00:04:32.170 --> 00:04:35.129 look that up. I'll just tell you real quick so you can avoid it. 50 00:04:36.569 --> 00:04:42.240 And I'm obviously being facetious. So, yeah, what I'm looking for 51 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.000 the cause of the sinking, not the singing. There's no words, but 52 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.680 the music in my in the my head when I hear running water. Yeah, 53 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:54.269 I run across this. So this is the thing in the paranoid schizophrenic 54 00:04:54.430 --> 00:05:00.029 world, because most paranoids, skidsphrenics have a high powered brain. It's kind 55 00:05:00.069 --> 00:05:04.110 of disengaged from reality, but it's still highly intellectual and can craft very complex 56 00:05:04.430 --> 00:05:12.939 thoughts. So in the paranoid schizophrenics world they've crafted this Boogeyman, or not 57 00:05:13.019 --> 00:05:16.420 a Boogeyman, but the protagonist in their story is the targeted individual themselves. 58 00:05:17.939 --> 00:05:23.569 And you can be targeted for harassment from a number of different ways. This 59 00:05:23.730 --> 00:05:27.850 one's kind of interesting, electronic harassment, basically. And then what they do 60 00:05:27.930 --> 00:05:32.209 is they fall onto existing technology. And sure there's some super high tech stuff 61 00:05:32.930 --> 00:05:39.519 that can detect you by the way you walk. Gate Technology obviously listening technology 62 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:43.720 and things like that's highly advanced heat detection. I mean there's so much that's 63 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.160 been advanced even in the past ten years. So, like any good conspiracy 64 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:54.110 theorist, they take those facts and mix them in with their mythology and create 65 00:05:54.310 --> 00:05:59.589 this whole idea of electronic harassment targeted individuals. But the other really interesting thing 66 00:05:59.589 --> 00:06:03.740 I found was a thing called color harassment. Again, do not search for 67 00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:08.939 this on the Internet. I might lose you down a rabbit hole. So 68 00:06:09.300 --> 00:06:16.180 color harassment is when a paranoid, schizophrenic person thinks the other, the other 69 00:06:16.339 --> 00:06:19.850 person them, are out to get them by the use of colors, and 70 00:06:20.529 --> 00:06:26.329 it's kind of funny because it's all these fucked u s colored combinations like Magenta 71 00:06:26.449 --> 00:06:29.930 and teal mixed together, not mixed but you know, side by side, 72 00:06:30.769 --> 00:06:34.959 rainbow flags and things like that. They're like super freaks out people that feel 73 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:43.279 their targeted individuals being harassed with color harassment. So I digress, but that's 74 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.920 an interesting world. I think it's fascinating, but I can easily get sucked 75 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.310 into it. It starts to feel really be really fast. So targeted individuals 76 00:06:50.350 --> 00:06:58.110 avoid that term on the Internet. Avoid color harassment and avoid electronic harassment. 77 00:06:58.990 --> 00:07:03.579 So anyway, what turns out is the sounds I hear in the water are 78 00:07:04.220 --> 00:07:10.860 another form of Tinitis. So if you hear ringing in your ears normally, 79 00:07:11.899 --> 00:07:16.810 sometimes that can equate to hearing misplace noises when you hear a different sound source. 80 00:07:17.689 --> 00:07:24.329 And tonightus is a trip, especially because, by all indications it starts 81 00:07:24.410 --> 00:07:29.730 with some kind of damage to your hearing, to the actual mechanical working parts 82 00:07:29.769 --> 00:07:33.480 of your ear, such as loud music. Of course I've played music. 83 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.360 I'm a drummer, been playing for since I was a little kid, but 84 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.199 I always used to me sintimes the time I was like fourteen or fifteen, 85 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:46.829 playing and live rock bands here in protection like straight up foam little ear plugs 86 00:07:46.310 --> 00:07:50.430 block out much of the noise. So I don't necessarily think the damage came 87 00:07:50.509 --> 00:07:56.470 from that directly. Maybe repetitively. There might have been enough gigs in a 88 00:07:56.509 --> 00:08:00.100 row where I just didn't wear them, but that seems odd at it's doesn't 89 00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:03.019 seem right, and pretty much more them all the time, the ear plugs. 90 00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:07.100 It could have been damage from a concert. There were several times when 91 00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:09.459 I was young and would go to a concert and a lot of times, 92 00:08:09.579 --> 00:08:15.610 the gigantic bass speakers or just the the overall house sound speakers are right near 93 00:08:15.649 --> 00:08:20.089 the front. They're so loud that nobody stands near them. Well, that 94 00:08:20.209 --> 00:08:22.129 also means that there's less people there. So if you want to get to 95 00:08:22.250 --> 00:08:26.449 the front of the stage, that's kind of a soft spot right there in 96 00:08:26.490 --> 00:08:28.240 the crowd. We can go up near the speakers. Well, well, 97 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.639 if you're thirteen year old kid, you kind of get stuck in the soft 98 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.360 spot and you get your head pounded by loudspeakers for an hour and a half. 99 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.559 Again, that might happen maybe twice. So here's what happens with tonight 100 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:48.149 has. Apparently that mechanism in your ear starts triggering a response in your brain 101 00:08:50.110 --> 00:08:56.659 to the point where, even after the trauma to the ear, mechanically speaking, 102 00:08:56.940 --> 00:09:01.419 has healed, it's now become programming in your brain. So it goes 103 00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:07.659 from becoming literally like hearing damage to what you'd almost call a mental disorder, 104 00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:11.889 because it now it's if it's in your brain, it's not part of your 105 00:09:11.970 --> 00:09:15.730 ear and it's just the way your brains working. I guess, what else 106 00:09:15.730 --> 00:09:20.049 do you call it but a mental disorder? So here's where it's get really 107 00:09:20.090 --> 00:09:24.799 interesting. Back in two thousand and sixteen twenty seven, down in Brazil they 108 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:31.399 did a small study on tonightas because they started to understand that it is a 109 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.679 a brain disorder, a mental disorder if you will, and they took fifteen 110 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:45.070 people and gave them oxytosin. In the familiar with Oxytosin, O x y 111 00:09:45.590 --> 00:09:54.700 t OCIAN, oxytocin. So many in the medical or therapy field called oxytocin 112 00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:58.980 the cuttle hormone. So it's the hormone that our body, our brain, 113 00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:05.379 excreets when we feel in love, if somebody gives you a hug, if 114 00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:09.769 you're petting a cute dog or a cat, you start to get this oxytocin 115 00:10:09.850 --> 00:10:13.929 releasing your brain much like dopamine release. Every time you get a notification. 116 00:10:13.330 --> 00:10:18.730 Well, every time you feel loved, you get oxytosin. Now they can 117 00:10:18.169 --> 00:10:22.879 manufacture oxytosin and give it to people. That's how they did the test down 118 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:28.320 in Brazil. So they gave fifteen people oxytosin and they found that it actually 119 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.919 fucking works for the tonitus. They're not sure how it works, but this 120 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.750 small study showed it works. So they recently like it's the end of two 121 00:10:39.789 --> 00:10:41.789 thousand and twenty. Right now, November, just starting a study in New 122 00:10:41.830 --> 00:10:48.190 York that should be done in the next six months with thirty people and they're 123 00:10:48.190 --> 00:10:50.860 going to, you know, eliminate any flaws in the test and move forward 124 00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:56.340 with the same thing. People with Tenitas give it them and comes in a 125 00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:58.980 form of a nasal spray, so it's not even that difficult and Oxytostin is 126 00:11:00.019 --> 00:11:03.330 relatively cheap to produce. So the great thing is if this new study works, 127 00:11:03.610 --> 00:11:09.889 we could have a cure for this tonitus by the middle of summer next 128 00:11:09.929 --> 00:11:13.169 year. So weird thing about tonight. As for those of you who don't 129 00:11:13.210 --> 00:11:16.490 have it, if you don't think about it, you can function just fine. 130 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.399 Like when I take my hearing tests, I can hear all those notes. 131 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.279 It's a strangest because a lot of times that the tone I hear in 132 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.799 my Tonitas is similar to one of those hearing test tones, one of the 133 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.870 super higher frequency ones that here in the headphones when you're a kid. It's 134 00:11:35.909 --> 00:11:39.070 like that. But if I'm not thinking about it, I don't hear it. 135 00:11:39.950 --> 00:11:43.029 I A lot of times I'll listen to noises or whatever when I go 136 00:11:43.110 --> 00:11:48.620 to sleep, kind of washes it away and normally just doing something so I 137 00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:52.700 don't notice it. It's not that big of a deal. It's probably why 138 00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:56.059 they just don't study that much. Like you can live with it. It 139 00:11:56.179 --> 00:12:00.259 doesn't affect your hearing it, but it does affect your mental status. That 140 00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:01.289 kind of stresses you out. If you don't want to hear it, you 141 00:12:01.330 --> 00:12:05.330 end up trying to block it out. Like imagine the incessant dog barking. 142 00:12:05.649 --> 00:12:09.370 If you just move to a neighborhood with incessant dog barking, it would drive 143 00:12:09.409 --> 00:12:13.850 you fucking crazy. Well, people who live there three months don't even notice 144 00:12:13.889 --> 00:12:16.480 it. They would notice it if the dogs stopped parking. So to me 145 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:22.000 I would notice it if the ringing in my ears stopped for the better. 146 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.840 Sure, probably relax a lot, a lot easier, but when I'm saying 147 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.389 is I can still function with it. But I just found it funny. 148 00:12:30.470 --> 00:12:33.750 That's like oxytosin. That kind of explains it. I don't think it's any 149 00:12:33.789 --> 00:12:39.190 secret that I don't feel like loved, like there's nobody in my family that 150 00:12:39.830 --> 00:12:43.419 makes me feel love, like nobody tells me they loves me or gives me 151 00:12:43.460 --> 00:12:48.259 hugs or anything like that. So it makes it no, it's been that 152 00:12:48.259 --> 00:12:50.139 way since I was a kid. To my mom was the type of Hugger 153 00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:54.379 who like kind of a light hug, pat you on the back, Pat 154 00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:58.289 Pat like a church acquaintance hug. I never really like felt cared for. 155 00:13:01.090 --> 00:13:03.850 Not whined about him, just saying it's a reality the way my brains been 156 00:13:03.929 --> 00:13:07.090 programmed. So that's why I think it's interesting. If so, maybe if 157 00:13:07.129 --> 00:13:11.570 you weren't hugged enough as a kid and you don't feel loved, you have 158 00:13:11.649 --> 00:13:15.879 a lack of oxytocin in your body and your mind. There for tonight is 159 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.200 gets worse. So I'm just wondering anecdotally, if you have tonight as do 160 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:26.360 you also feel unloved? Is there a correlation? So, anyway, let 161 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:35.950 me know what you think. I'll talk to you tomorrow. And now back 162 00:13:35.990 --> 00:13:35.389 to the wall.
