Description
Hey Tinnitus Friends & Family,

Tinnitus can feel like chaos — especially when you’re caught in a loop of fear, frustration, and endless searching. But what if there was a predictable path that most people go through on their way to habituation?
In this episode, I walk you through the five key stages of tinnitus habituation, based on my work with over 500 clients and our 12-week program inside MyTinnitus.Club. Whether you’re brand new to tinnitus or stuck somewhere in the middle, understanding where you are on this journey can be the turning point.
You’ll learn:
• Why the first stage feels so overwhelming (and what your brain is really doing)
• What the “fix-it trap” is — and how it keeps people stuck
• When and how the mindset shift toward habituation begins
• How neuroplasticity, ACT, and daily tools help rewire your response
• What full habituation really looks like (and why it’s not “perfect silence”)
💡 This episode is all about perspective — and giving you a clear, compassionate map forward.
