At 19 years old, I developed severe tinnitus. I was terrified. Desperate. Completely alone. The ENT told me: "There's nothing we can do. You'll have to learn to live with it." And then sent me home. That experience is why I built My Tinnitus Club. I built what I needed when I was 19—and what I wish had existed back then. In this video, I'm sharing: Why apps, courses, and forums aren't enough What makes My Tinnitus Club different How community changes everything for tinnitus habituation Here's the problem with tinnitus apps: They treat tinnitus like a solo problem you solve alone. You download the app. Watch pre-recorded videos. Do exercises by yourself. Track progress on a chart. But when you're struggling at 2am—when your tinnitus is screaming and you think you'll never get better—the app isn't there. The algorithm doesn't know you're suffering. The pre-recorded videos can't respond to your specific situation. And that isolation? That's exactly what makes tinnitus worse. Here's what I've learned after working with 700+ people: Your nervous system doesn't learn safety from an algorithm. It learns safety from other humans. That's not motivational talk. That's neuroscience. We're wired for co-regulation—being around other people who've been through what we're going through. Apps can't give you that. But community can. Why I built My Tinnitus Club: When I was 19, I was born deaf in my left ear—so I only had one functioning ear. At 19, I damaged it at a concert. Severe, high-pitched tinnitus. I was terrified. I went to the ENT desperate for help. He said: "There's nothing we can do. Protect your hearing in the future. Good luck." No support. No resources. No follow-up. Just: "Figure it out on your own." So I did what most people do: Googled endlessly Read horror stories on forums Tried every supplement, sound therapy, supposed cure And I felt completely alone. Years later, when I became a tinnitus coach, I thought: "What if I had this at 19? What if I didn't have to spend years figuring this out alone?" So I built it. A safe space where people can: Learn the most effective tools for habituation (12-week ACT-based program) Be supported daily by real people who understand Never feel alone with tinnitus again I built what I needed when I was 19.

Tinnitus care is no longer just about masking sound—it's about treating the whole person.This week, Shari Eberts speaks with Dr. Maren Stropahl, Senior Director of Holistic Hearing Care and Head of Audiology for Sonova's retail organization, about why tinnitus requires a broader, more integrated approach.Dr. Stropahl explains that tinnitus is not simply an “ear problem,” but a complex interaction between auditory perception, emotional response, stress, and lifestyle factors. The discussion explores the brain's role in tinnitus distress, the concept of the vicious circle, and why habituation is possible when care moves beyond sound alone.The conversation highlights how modern tinnitus management brings together hearing aids, sound therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, digital therapeutics, and—critically—education and counseling. Technology can support relief, but effective care depends on trained professionals who understand how to personalize treatment and empower patients with self-management tools.The message is clear: tinnitus care is evolving. When clinicians combine evidence-based technology with holistic counseling and data-informed strategies, patients no longer have to hear that “nothing can be done.”For more on the SilentCloud app, visit: https://silentcloud.comFor more details on Phonak's hearing aid portfolio, visit: https://www.phonak.comBe sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn, Instagram and X.- https://x.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinhearing/- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearingVisit us at: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/

Some musicians learn the blues. Others are raised inside it.Today I sit down with Doyle Bramhall II, one of the most distinctive voices in modern blues guitar and contemporary roots music. Raised in Texas as the son of legendary musician Doyle Bramhall, he grew up surrounded by the raw musical energy of the Austin music scene, absorbing the sounds of blues and rock from an early age.Doyle has built a remarkable career as a guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer, collaborating with artists including Eric Clapton, Elton John, Gary Clark Jr., Dr. John, Gregg Allman, Sheryl Crow, and Erykah Badu. His playing style is instantly recognizable, partly because he plays left-handed with a guitar strung for a right-handed player and flipped upside down.We dive into the fascinating origins of his musical journey, including the moment when a visit from someone special inspired him to take the guitar seriously. Doyle shares his insight into his personal work developing the Ultimate Breakthrough, a process designed to support energetic and consciousness shifts aligned with one's purpose.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[07:53] Growing up inside the Austin blues scene[17:03] How playing guitar upside down led to the Eric Clapton gig[38:54] From the Fabulous Thunderbirds to the Archangels[44:05] How Stevie's death sent Doyle into a two-year heroin spiral[57:51] What made Sly Stone one of the most innovative artists who ever lived[01:23:46] Staying sober while working with plant medicine[01:35:14] The chain of synchronicities that led Doyle from isolation to his life's calling[01:55:23] How Doyle's healing practice works and happens during a session[02:07:55] The three influences that shaped Doyle as a musicianRelated The Life Stylist Episodes:Not Just For Sleep: Melatonin | The Master Molecule + Next Level Biohacks w/ Dr. John Lieurance | PodcastThe Future Of Chronic Pain & Injury Healing W/ Drs.

Hey Tinnitus Friends & Family, After working with over 700 people with tinnitus through personal coaching and MyTinnitus.Club, I've seen what actually works for tinnitus relief—not just theories from studies, but real-world results from real people. This video covers the 5 most effective strategies I've consistently seen help people move toward habituation: Nervous System Regulation – Why tinnitus is more than an ear problem and how creating "islands of relaxation" reduces reactivity Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – How to make space for difficult thoughts without being consumed by them (not forced positivity) Community & Co-Regulation – Why isolation keeps you stuck and how connection rewires your brain's threat response Sleep (Done Right) – Stop fighting wakefulness and learn to allow sleep instead of achieving it Values-Based Living – Why waiting for habituation to live your life actually blocks habituation ⚠️ Important: This is NOT about promising silence, herbal cures, or expensive hearing aids. Real tinnitus relief is about retraining your brain's reaction to tinnitus—not eliminating the sound. Real examples from MyTinnitus.Club members included ✅

Tinnitus is een van de meeste voorkomende aandoeningen als we het hebben over gehoorbeschadiging. Om hier aandacht voor te vragen wordt elk jaar op 3 maart de Dag van het Gehoor gehouden. De dag, in het leven geroepen door de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie, heeft als doel om gehoorverlies te voorkomen. Maar wat weten we van tinnitus? En hoe ziet het onderzoek ernaar nu uit? Dat alles bespreken we deze ochtend met epidemioloog Inge Stegeman, zij doet onderzoek naar tinnitus.

This episode is sponsored by Welbeck - providing beyond better healthcare.  In honour of World Hearing Day on March 3rd, we're talking about something most of us take completely for granted… until we can't hear the waiter, the TV suddenly “too quiet,” and everyone starts mumbling. This week, we're joined by leading ear surgeon Joseph Manjaly, Consultant Otologist & Auditory Implant Surgeon at OneWelbeck ENT and Clinical Lead at Royal National ENT and UCLH, who spends his days quite literally changing how people experience the world. We get into the surprising truth about hearing loss — including why it's not just an “old person thing,” how midlife hearing loss is now the biggest modifiable risk factor for dementia, and the everyday habits that could be quietly damaging your ears. Joe explains: Why hearing loss happens (and why it's not always about ageing) The link between hearing loss, brain health and dementia Tinnitus — what that ringing actually is, and what you can do about it The biggest myths about hearing (yes, we're looking at you, cotton buds) The incredible technology already restoring hearing — and what's coming next Plus, we talk about the emotional side of hearing loss; from isolation and confidence to the life-changing moment when someone hears clearly again. Because hearing isn't just about sound it's about connection, memory, and staying engaged with the people you love. And after this episode, you may never put a cotton bud anywhere near your ear again!  Join Our Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1115099072702743/?ref=share_group_link Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/selfcareclubpod/ YouTube https://youtube.com/c/SelfCareClub TikTok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLnXyS1S/ Email hello@theselfcareclub.co.uk  Website www.theselfcareclub.co.uk Studio production by @launchpodstudios Music by purpleplanet.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Ryan: First off, I would like to say thanks for all that you do in supporting a healthy community, it's greatly appreciated. My question has to do with what and how much physical activity should you do while you are sick, along with what additional health modalities would you suggest. When you are sick or feeling like you're getting sick, do you continue hitting your 10,000 steps per day? Weight lift? Cardio? HIIT? Continue working out but at a reduced intensity? Should you substitute some activity for red light? Sauna? Yoga? And how would this differ from a cold to a fever? Thanks again!      Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral and as always thank you for being such a champion for us out here :) A friend swears that Milk Thistle helped her when she was battling liver cancer. I have NAFLD and am working to reduce it, and besides the ways you have outlined to help (episode 3017), I'm wondering if milk thistle could be a good addition? Thank you so much - have a blessed day:)      Dawn Marie:  Hi, Dr. Cabral. I had mono as a child, and again in 2023 when I was 48 years of age. In 2023, I was on day 17 of the detox when the mono re-emerged and I was quite sick, almost requiring hospitalization--liver enzymes quite high, thickening of gallbladder walls, and enlarged spleen. My doctor actually wrote me a referral to a surgeon to likely have my gall bladder removed! Thank goodness, after years of listening to your podcasts, I knew to do some research and discovered that after I recovered from the mono, all would return to normal and they did. My understanding is that Epstein-Barr "lives" in the liver and is difficult to fully heal from. I'd like to "kick it out" for good. Is there a way to fully heal from EBV? Is there any risk of it re-emerging if I try to do another 21-day detox?      Dylaini: Hi Dr Cabral! Thanks for all you do, you're a wealth of knowledge! I am working with a lot of tinnitus clients and some claim it's from being in the military and being exposed to loud noises, do you think this is simply a "stress" on the body and isn't necessarily a permeant issue from being exposed to loud noises? Thanks again!     Josephine: Hi Dr Cabral, you've been an amazing ing help to me over the years, thank you. I'm a 44year old woman living in Australia. I have idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (IGH) on my legs and arms. I get this much more so than brown pigment spots. I understand sun protection is the best way to prevent this, however I'm wondering if you have any tips for how to treat it (most sources say pigment won't come back) and also what supplements or topical treatments (excluding sunscreen) might make the skin less susceptible.

Hey Tinnitus Friends and Family, 120,000 people search for "tinnitus sound therapy" every month. And most of what they find is incomplete—or just wrong. I'm Tinnitus Coach Frieder. I'm ACT-trained, I've worked with over 700 people, and I'm the founder of My Tinnitus Club. Here's what I actually tell my clients about sound therapy—the truth you need to hear. In this video, I break down: The 3 types of sound therapy: 1. **Masking** – covering up tinnitus with external sound (white noise, fans, music) 2. **Sound enrichment** – background sound quieter than your tinnitus 3. **Notched sound therapy** – filtering out your tinnitus frequency to retrain your auditory system What sound therapy CAN do (short-term benefits): - Reduces contrast between silence and loud tinnitus - Provides temporary relief - Helps with sleep and difficult moments in early stages The 3 major limitations no one talks about: 1. It doesn't retrain your nervous system - Sound therapy distracts you, but doesn't teach your brain that tinnitus is safe - If you're using white noise 24/7, your nervous system is still in fight-or-flight - You're covering up the alarm bell—not turning it off 2. You can't use it everywhere - Business meetings, social situations, when battery dies - What happens when it stops? You're back to square one - You're stuck on a crutch instead of retraining your brain 3. It creates dependency - I've worked with people who panic when masking stops - The opposite of habituation - Teaches your brain you can ONLY be okay when you can't hear it Here's the truth: Sound therapy is a tool. It's not the solution. The solution is teaching your nervous system that tinnitus is safe to experience—**even in silence.** I can meditate with my tinnitus blaring. I can hear it over a four-lane street. But I have zero reaction to it. Why? Because my nervous system learned safety. What actually creates lasting tinnitus habituation (from 700+ cases): 1. Nervous system work Your brain learns through lived experience (not just understanding) that tinnitus is safe. 2. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - Accept difficult thoughts and feelings - Defuse from catastrophic thinking - Live by your values despite tinnitus 3. Community and co-regulation Your nervous system learns safety from being around other humans who've been through this. That's not motivational talk—that's neuroscience. 4. Tools for your triggers Sleep work, anxiety regulation, spike management—personalized to YOUR nervous system. This is why My Tinnitus Club exists. It's not just an app. It's not just pre-recorded videos. It's a community where you work through ACT tools together, with: - Weekly live group coaching with me - People who understand what you're going through - Personalized support for your journey Sound therapy can be part of your toolkit—especially at the start. But the foundation of real habituation? Nervous system work, ACT, and community. Ready to start? Take the free habituation quiz: www.habituate.online It takes 2 minutes and will help you: - Identify where you are in your habituation journey - Understand what's keeping you stuck - Get personalized next steps After the quiz, you'll get access to our free 4-day guide on tinnitus habituation.

Hey Tinnitus Friends and Family, Today we deal with the questions of : "What caused my tinnitus?" This is one of the most common questions I get as a tinnitus coach. And after working with over 700 people in coaching sessions and at My Tinnitus Club, I've seen every possible cause of tinnitus. But here's the truth most people don't understand: your story is individual. And that matters more than you think. In this video, I break down: The 3 main causes of tinnitus: Hearing loss or damage to the auditory system Age-related hearing loss Noise-induced hearing loss (concerts, headphones, loud environments) Acoustic trauma Ear infections or earwax buildup Ototoxic medications Stress, anxiety, and nervous system activation Tinnitus isn't just an ear problem — it's a nervous system condition Chronic stress puts your nervous system in fight-or-flight mode I've seen people develop tinnitus during burnout, divorce, grief, panic attacks Their ears were fine, but their nervous system was screaming Physical issues: neck, jaw, or circulatory problems TMJ (teeth grinding) Neck tension or cervical spine issues High blood pressure or vascular problems (pulsatile tinnitus) But here's what most people miss: Two people can have the exact same cause of tinnitus — but completely different experiences. Example: Person A habituates in 6 months. Back to living life, barely notices it. Person B is still struggling 2 years later. The sound hasn't changed, but the reaction has. Why? Because habituation isn't just about what caused your tinnitus. It's about: Your nervous system's current state Your history with anxiety or trauma Your support system (are you doing this alone?) Your relationship with uncertainty and control Whether you've learned tools like ACT to regulate your response Here's the truth: Most tinnitus doesn't have a reversible cause. You can't undo hearing loss. You can't go back and avoid that concert. You can't erase the stress that triggered your nervous system. What you CAN do is teach your nervous system that tinnitus is safe to experience. And that process? It's individual. Why I'm telling you this: I see people waste months or years trying to find the "one thing" that caused their tinnitus. They think: "If I can just figure out the cause, I can fix it." But obsessing over the cause? That's what keeps you stuck. Because habituation isn't about fixing the cause. It's about changing your nervous system's response to the sound. And you don't have to figure that out alone. At My Tinnitus Club, we don't treat tinnitus like a formula. We don't say: "Do these 5 steps and you'll be cured." We say: "Let's figure out what YOU need. Together." Because habituation happens when: Your nervous system learns safety (through lived experience, not just understanding) You have tools for YOUR triggers (ACT, nervous system regulation, sleep work) You're not doing this alone (community, coaching, people who get it) Your nervous system learns safety from co-regulation — being around other humans who've been through this and come out the other side.

Send a textA high-pitched dental drill and suction shouldn't drown out the most important sound in the room: a patient's voice. Blaise Delfino sits down with Dr. Michael Walker (dentist) and Dr. Jamie Hand (audiologist) to unravel how modern hearing protection can quiet drills and suction without muting crucial communication, and why tinnitus may be the first warning sign long before a hearing test shows a shift. The result is a practical, evidence-informed guide for anyone working in a noisy environment. First, we compare everyday foam or silicone plugs with active devices like SoundGear Phantoms. You'll hear what changes chairside when the noise floor drops but speech is preserved: faster coordination with assistants, fewer breaks to de-glove, and smoother, safer procedures. We dig into real-world workflow differences across restorative and surgical cases, and how open-bay designs compound exposure when multiple tools run at once.Next, we unpack fresh survey findings from hundreds of dentists that reveal a striking pattern: tinnitus reports are higher than expected even when self-reported hearing loss seems average. We explore why delayed testing and ultra-high-frequency damage can mask early decline, making tinnitus a critical cue for prevention. From cumulative exposure science to the limits of standard audiometry, we outline what professionals should watch for and how to act sooner.Finally, we get tactical. We talk fit, comfort, and hygiene, and lay out when to choose active hearing protection for continuous communication versus passive, high‑fidelity options or semi-insert bands for assistants on the move. We also highlight a culture shift in training: pairing dental and audiology programs to normalize protection, teach proper fitting, and make hearing health part of everyday PPE.If you practice in a noisy clinic—or care about someone who does—this is your playbook for protecting hearing without sacrificing clarity or care.

A different kind of video today. I'm filming this right after my therapy appointment. It's been a difficult couple of weeks for me — burnout recovery, workload, and some personal challenges I've been navigating. This video isn't polished. It's not heavily edited. It's just me, being human, and sharing something I think is important: You're not alone with tinnitus. And I'm not alone either. Why I'm sharing this: Tinnitus is incredibly isolating. Most people tell me they feel like they're the only one experiencing it — and that isolation is often worse than the sound itself. But here's the truth: 15-25% of people experience tinnitus. Millions of people around the world are going through exactly what you're going through. The feelings — anxiety, despair, anger, isolation — are not unique to you. They're part of the human experience of this condition. And when we feel alone, tinnitus gets worse. Loneliness and isolation do one thing: they make you focus more on the sound, perceive it more intensely, and get stuck in the same vicious cycle of thoughts and feelings. Habituation moves further away when you're alone. It comes closer when you're connected. Why I built My Tinnitus Club: I built this community because I know what it's like to feel completely alone with tinnitus. I was 19, deaf in one ear, and the ENT said "there's nothing we can do." I needed: People who understood A space where I didn't have to explain Support that wasn't just an app or pre-recorded videos So I created that space: My Tinnitus Club. It's not just a program. It's a community where: You meet people from around the world who share your experience You practice ACT tools together (not alone) You realize you're not the only one — and that changes everything Because your nervous system needs to hear: "I'm fine. Other people have been through this. I can do it too." That's how habituation happens. My message to you today: Whether you connect through YouTube comments, or join us at My Tinnitus Club, or find support somewhere else — please don't do this alone. I've had a difficult week. I'm going through my own challenges. And what I need most right now is connection — people who understand, who care, who remind me I'm not alone. You need that too. Not because it's nice to have. Because it's how your nervous system learns safety. And safety is what creates habituation. Coming soon: I'm working on a full webinar about how ACT and community work together at My Tinnitus Club. I'll let you know when it's ready. For now, if you want to explore the community or learn more about our 12-week program, visit www.habituate.online. Thank you for being here. Thank you for allowing me to do this work. And thank you for being part of this community — even if we've never met. I'm grateful for every single one of you. Let me know in the comments: How do you deal with isolation when tinnitus feels overwhelming? See you next week. — Frieder P.S. I'm human. I try my best. I stand for what I believe is right — connection, care, and community. That's what this channel is about. That's what My Tinnitus Club is about. And I hope it helps you feel a little less alone today.

Wondering if the ringing in your ears is tinnitus? In this episode, clinical audiologist Joe Powner, Au.D., CCC-A, sheds light on the various sounds associated with tinnitus. Tune in to learn about its causes, symptoms, and why it affects so many people, including veterans. Understanding these elements is crucial for effective management of this condition.

Why do you see static, hear ringing, or feel disconnected during a migraine? In this episode, I break down the neurological symptoms most people don't realize are actually migraines. We're not talking about head pain here, we're talking about visual auras, brain fog, tinnitus, and that strange feeling of being disconnected from reality. I explain why visual symptoms like scintillating auras, visual snow, and palinopsia happen in your visual cortex, not your eyeball. You'll learn why tinnitus comes and goes for some migraine sufferers and why constant ringing is harder to reverse. And I'll walk you through why brain fog and depersonalization are actually toxicity symptoms, not personality traits or anxiety disorders. Here's the key insight: these symptoms happen when your brain cells don't have enough nutrients to function optimally, when metabolic waste builds up, or when cellular voltage drops. Your body isn't broken, it's adapting to less than ideal conditions. And when you restore what's missing, the symptoms improve. This episode is for you if you've experienced strange visual disturbances during migraines, if you hear ringing that comes and goes, if you feel foggy or disconnected even without head pain, or if you've been told these symptoms are just something you have to live with. If you're having 8+ migraine days per month and you're ready to address why your brain is generating these symptoms, I can help.

In this episode of the Atlas of Chiropractic podcast, Dr. John Stenberg delves into the complexities of somatosensory tinnitus, particularly its connection to cervical chiropractic care.

Hey Tinnitus Friends and Family, From panic attacks and 24/7 masking to hiking in the mountains and sleeping in silence — this is Agi's tinnitus habituation story. Agi, a teacher from Austria, developed severe, intrusive tinnitus at 29 after already habituating once as a teenager. What followed was one of the hardest periods of her life: constant anxiety, weight loss, dependence on loud masking, and the feeling that her life was over. In this conversation, Agi shares how she moved from fear to acceptance — not by making her tinnitus quieter, but by changing her relationship with it. She talks about: • Realizing she had developed a phobia of her own tinnitus • Working with a therapist specializing in exposure therapy • The turning point when she stopped believing her catastrophic thoughts • How she learned to accept anxiety and annoyance — without needing them to disappear first • Why she now welcomes new tones instead of panicking about them • The difference between silence and peace (and why we confuse the two) This isn't a story about tinnitus going away. It's about someone who can now lie in bed in complete silence, hear her tinnitus clearly, and genuinely not care. If you're struggling right now, Agi's message is simple: believe that habituation is possible for you — even when your thoughts tell you otherwise. It takes time. It's not always fast. But it happens. If you want support on your habituation journey, visit **habituate.online** for free resources and my 4-day email introduction course.

Send us a textThe ringing is real...and so is the plan to fix how we manage it. Blaise sits down with Jeffery Reagan, a heart transplant survivor, tinnitus patient, and founder of Tinnitus Learning Health Network, to share a practical blueprint for transforming tinnitus care through a learning health network that centers outcomes, empathy, and shared data. Instead of waiting years for guidelines to catch up, Jeff shows how patients, clinicians, and researchers can collaborate in near real time to reveal which therapies—CBT, TRT, sound therapy, hearing aids—work best for specific subtypes and life contexts.We explore the watershed moment that pushed Jeff to act, the structure of a learning health network, and why placing the patient's voice at the center changes everything. You'll hear how standardized measurement with tools like the Tinnitus Functional Index and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory lets clinics compare results, reduce disparities, and end the dead-end phrase, “there's nothing we can do.” Along the way, Jeff introduces the team guiding this movement, including leaders like Dr. James Henry and Dr. Donna Murray, and outlines concrete milestones: pilot sites across VA and academic centers, a rebrand to the Tinnitus Learning Health Network (TLHN), and a path to insurer buy-in through real-world evidence.If you or someone you love lives with tinnitus, this conversation offers both hope and a plan. We talk funding models, data culture, and how machine learning can guide (not replace) clinical judgment to speed up the path to relief.

What makes tinnitus distressing for some people—but barely noticeable for others?In this in-depth conversation, clinical psychologist and tinnitus researcher Dr. Jennifer Gans explains why tinnitus is best understood not simply as a sound, but as a brain-driven experience. Drawing on neuroscience, clinical experience, and mindfulness-based research, she explores how the brain's response—rather than the sound itself—plays a central role in tinnitus distress, and how that response can change over time.Dr. Gans discusses why accurate education is foundational to effective tinnitus care, how anxiety and stress amplify tinnitus distress, and why habituation is a natural process—not something patients need to force. She also shares insights from her work with thousands of tinnitus patients and introduces her new weekly column at Hearing Health & Technology Matters (HHTM), "Tinnitus Education Corner," focused on evidence-based education and practical guidance.This conversation is designed for clinicians, researchers, and individuals living with tinnitus who want a clearer, more grounded framework for understanding—and reducing—the impact of tinnitus in daily life.Check out Dr. Gans' weekly column at: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/tinnitus-education-cornerLearn more about Dr. Gans and her work at: https://mindfultinnitusrelief.com/Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn, Instagram and X.- https://x.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinhearing/- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearingVisit us at: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/

Hey Tinnitus Friends & Family, Sleep problems are one of the hardest parts of living with tinnitus. In this episode, I talk about why tinnitus so often feels louder at night, why sleep can suddenly feel impossible, and—most importantly—what actually keeps insomnia going when tinnitus is involved. If you've ever found yourself lying in bed exhausted, monitoring your tinnitus, worrying about another bad night, or feeling pressure to “force” sleep, this video is for you. We'll cover: • Why tinnitus itself is not the real cause of insomnia • Why your body isn't broken—but actually doing its job • How nervous system activation (not lack of sleep) keeps you awake • Why trying harder to sleep often backfires • What helps sleep return naturally, even when tinnitus is still present I also share my own experience of sleeping 7–8 hours most nights despite severe tinnitus, and why many people I work with are able to restore sleep once the struggle ends. This episode is not about quick fixes or forcing silence. It's about understanding safety, letting go of performance pressure, and allowing your nervous system to relearn that the night is not a threat. If you'd like to explore this work more deeply, you can find additional free resources, interviews, and support inside the Habituation Hub:

Hey Tinnitus Friends and Family, Habituation is one of the most misunderstood concepts in tinnitus recovery. In this episode, I lay a clear foundation for what tinnitus habituation actually is — and just as importantly, what it is not. Because when people expect the wrong thing from habituation, they often feel stuck, disappointed, or like they're failing… even when progress is already happening. If you've ever wondered: • “Why do I still notice my tinnitus even though I understand it?” • “Does habituation mean silence?” • “Why do spikes make me feel like I'm back at square one?” • “Am I doing something wrong?” This episode is for you. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why habituation does not mean constant silence • Why habituation is not a mindset trick or a single breakthrough moment • Why understanding tinnitus intellectually does not automatically calm your nervous system • Why monitoring and checking tinnitus blocks habituation • What habituation actually looks like in real life • The subtle signs that habituation is already happening • Why habituation is simple, but not easy • What truly helps your brain and nervous system stop treating tinnitus as a threat I also explain why habituation often feels complicated — not because it is, but because people try to do it alone, under pressure, and while constantly searching for certainty. A key takeaway: Habituation isn't something you decide. It's a gradual shift in how your nervous system responds — and life continuing despite tinnitus is part of what allows that shift to happen. How this tinnitus podcast can help: This episode exists to give you clarity, orientation, and reassurance — not miracle cures or false promises. Understanding alone won't retrain your nervous system, but it can help you stop fighting the wrong battle.

While many perceive tinnitus as a problem solely with the ears, it is actually a neurological condition occurring in the auditory brain. The Auditory Brain Connection Because the brain possesses neuroplasticity—the ability to adapt and change—this "brain buzz" is not necessarily a permanent condition.In a deep dive into the subject, Dr. Ben Thompson, an audiologist and tinnitus expert, reveals that Tinnitus is not a disease itself, but rather a symptom of an underlying issue within the auditory system.  The Impact of Stress A healthy brain typically utilizes a filter mechanism to tune out background neural noise. However, during periods of significant stress, grief, or health anxiety, this filter weakens. This leads to a state of hypervigilance or a "startle response," causing the brain to perceive tinnitus sounds as much louder and more threatening than they truly are. Clinical Pathways to Recovery Recovery begins with sound therapy to avoid total silence, utilizing soft white noise to create a soothing environment, and maintaining proper sleep hygiene to regulate the nervous system.  For persistent cases, specialized interventions such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) and bimodal stimulation can help the brain habituate to the noise. The outlook is highly positive: with a structured protocol, 80% of patients experience a significant reduction in symptoms within six months. In this podcast you will learn: Why tinnitus is a neurological "brain buzz" rather than a disease. The way high stress and hypervigilance weaken the brain's internal filters. Immediate strategies for relief, including sound therapy and sleep hygiene. Clinical options like Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) and AI-driven hearing aids.
