Tinnitus has been linked to exhaustion, stress, depression, and memory problems.

Your mind is receiving messages from your nervous system all the time, but most of these messages are handled without your conscious awareness. In the case of tinnitus, your brain and nervous system are receiving messages from your auditory system that has come to your conscious awareness despite the absence of external stimuli, which becomes unpleasant and difficult to deal with, as these messages can trigger the autonomic nervous system and the “fight or flight” response.

Hypnotherapy can help work with tinnitus by helping you habituate or acclimatize yourself to the condition, so that it’s no longer as disturbing. We do this by helping you consciously realize that these signals do not require your conscious attention, and that you no longer need to respond to them. Then, since this is a difficult process to accomplish with your conscious mind alone, we use hypnotherapy to help your subconscious and unconscious mind accept that these signals no longer need to be responded to, and thus no longer require your conscious awareness.

By helping you relax, and removing the negative emotions associated with these stimuli, as well as helping you deal with stressors in other areas of your life, hypnotherapy can help you become desensitized and habituated to the symptoms of tinnitus, so that you can proceed with enjoying your life and focus on achieving your goals.

Please Note: Some forms of tinnitus can be caused by underlying medical conditions, so in order to provide the most effective hypnotherapy, I will need a referral from your doctor saying that hypnotherapy is not contraindicated for your particular issue.
