Episode 138 - The Moment my Tinnitus Stopped Controlling Me
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Hey Tinnitus Friends and Family,
There was a moment in my tinnitus journey when everything quietly changed.
Not because the sound disappeared.
Not because I found a miracle cure.
But because the fear finally lost its grip.
In this episode, I share the turning point that allowed my tinnitus to fade into the background of my life — even when it was still clearly there. I talk openly about what didn’t work, what I misunderstood for years, and the internal shift that made real relief possible.
You’ll hear why tinnitus suffering is rarely about loudness alone, how fighting the sound keeps the nervous system stuck, and why habituation begins when the brain learns safety — not silence.
If you’re tired of searching for fixes and starting to wonder whether peace is still possible with tinnitus, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why tinnitus doesn’t have to disappear for relief to begin
• The role fear and emotional reaction play in keeping tinnitus intrusive
• The moment that changed my relationship with the sound
• How habituation actually happens over time
• Why your brain is not broken — and how it can relearn safety
Whether you’re early in your journey or have been struggling for years, this conversation is an invitation to stop fighting and start living again.
If you’d like to take the next step, you can find my free 4-day tinnitus habituation course at habituate.online, or learn more about our 12-week online program at mytinnitus.club.
You’re not alone — and real relief is possible.
