Hi everyone, I was coincidently a client with Glenn during the making of this video and I just stumbled on it. I had sudden tinnitus and I was left on my own to figure it out. High stress and anxiety, fight or flight every day. Thank you Glenn for helping me habituate and it is awesome to see the two of you together making this video.
Glenn is a life saver! This video says it to a tee.. all the doctors I talked to said.. you can't do anything about it, so we will help you "live" with it. That is the most helpless feeling ever. Glenn helps you take it from a total different perspective. He gives you HOPE, and for that I will always be thankful for Glenn. Thank you Gleen!
So glad Glen put this conversation in my inbox! This is exactly my journey. I had baseline tinnitus that stress from the pandemic greatly exacerbated. Dr. told me years ago to live with it, there’s no cure. I eventually habituated, but it’s gotten much worse lately. Stress meds and meditation focusing on the sound associated with positivity has helped greatly. Thanks guys!
Glenn is awesome. The silver lining to my overnight tinnitus was Glenn's meditation approach. I probably needed to do that a long time ago anyway. Glenn's suggestion of Sam Harris's Waking Up app was one of the best things in my advanced adult life. Mass thanks to Glenn for all his help and suggestions. Lifesaver.
I've bought Glenn's book and I will buy the pack of audio files that go with the exercises. I'm new to meditation, I've just done a bit of mindfulness meditation and haven't found it very helpful, but the concept behind his approach makes sense and I've found the cost of the program very reasonable. I've just spent about three times more than that on a mindfulness online course for tinnitus which is by a doctor and isn't helping. So fingers crossed. I've already found a guided meditation on youtube that has the same approach and I think that's helping a bit so I'm hopeful. I had a similar bad experience with the first doctors I saw and I'm very grateful to have found you both.
@@maymoreland3088 hi. I ended up not doing it, I can't remember why. I hit the bottle instead. I've given up trying to do anything about it and use sound therapy 24 7 to cope.
great job guys. You seem to be part of a small group giving science backed and honest info. Crazy that so many people suffer from this and the larger western medicine community still seems ingorant of how to solve.
Hey Erwin, thank you for the comment. We are glad to know that our videos have helped you. Enjoy exploring our other RU-vid videos, as well as blog articles on puretinnitus.com
Hi thanks for the videos...Ive had this horrible thing for just over 3 years now. I kind of habituated and had days where I could hardly hear it which was amazing. however, Ive had it really loud again and 24/7 intrusive for just over two months again now and Im getting kind of scared again.....you guys talk about habituation after initial onset so my question is do i have to habituate all over again and is it possible?
If you could guarantee me a cure with no side effects whatsoever, I would take it. But I also don't feel like I need it, and if there were any risk of serious side effects, I would not take it. At this level of habituation, my tinnitus is no longer a factor in my quality of life, and it's to the extent that I can talk about it all day every day with my clients and not be triggered myself.
@@cathy9814 I can still hear my tinnitus and I notice it sometimes throughout the day if I'm in a quiet room, or if it spikes, or if I focus on it. But noticing it 99% of the time is like noticing my air conditioner turning on - I notice it, and then I go back to whatever I was doing because nothing actually happened and it didn't activate me in any way.
