    The POWER of Journaling for Tinnitus Relief (and a BIG Announcement!)

    Dealing with tinnitus can feel like being evicted from your own peace. For years, I searched for "the cure" only to realise that the most powerful tool for resilience was already within me. In this video, I’m sharing how I used the principles of CBT and a specific journaling ritual to turn my tinnitus into background noise and find joy in the "mundane" days. In this video, we cover: ✏️Why your journal is a "Home" you can take anywhere. ✏️ The 4 specific books I use: Diary, Messy Ideas, Sketchbook, and the Commonplace Book. ✏️ The difference between "Symptom Tracking" (The Trap) and "Emotional Journaling" (The Solution). _________________________ ✨YOUR THE FIRST TO KNOW!✨ I am so excited to announce….

    Are You Masking Tinnitus WRONG? The Secret to Long-Term Sound Relief

    After years of suffering with tinnitus, I know the hardest part isn't just the sound itself, it's the constant, overwhelming panic to make it stop. In today's video, I'm providing the comprehensive guide you need to master Sound Enrichment and move beyond the mistake of blasting sound. I break down exactly how to use sound the right way. The Tinnitus Masking Mistake: Why aggressively playing sound *louder* than your tinnitus makes your anxiety worse (I used to do this!). The Mixing Point Secret: How to find the perfect, subtle balance, where the sound is just *below* your tinnitus, allowing your brain to habituate. Next-Level Sound Options: Why you should skip harsh white noise and try Brown Noise or Pink Noise instead. Creative Enrichment: My unique, seamless tools like a desk fountain and the natural sounds of my pet birds that blend into daily life. The goal isn't to fight the sound, it's to integrate relief seamlessly so you can stop obsessing. You are training your brain, and this video shows you how. 🎥 If this helps, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your own experience in the comments.

    Your Tinnitus Didn’t Get Louder — Your Brain Did.

    After a full day in clinic chatting with people who feel like their tinnitus is the loudest in the world… I come home and reflect on something I hear every single day — and something I used to believe myself. In today’s video, I’m breaking down why your tinnitus feels louder (even when it isn’t), how monitoring and hyper-awareness trick the brain, and why things like poor sleep, stress, or nighttime quiet make the sound seem so much more intrusive. We’ll talk about the brain’s attention system, how habituation really works, and the simple shifts that can help you feel more in control again. If you feel like your tinnitus is “getting louder,” “taking over your brain,” or that you notice it more than anyone else, I promise this video will give you clarity, reassurance, and real tools you can start using today. You’re not alone — and what you’re feeling has a *reason*. 🎥 If this helps, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your own experience in the comments.

    How Your Subconscious Affects Tinnitus (and How to Rewire It)

    I’ve been thinking a lot about something neurosurgeon Dr. Jim Doty once said: “The brain can’t tell the difference between something that’s real and something that’s vividly imagined.” When I related that to tinnitus, it blew my mind. Because with tinnitus, our brains are reacting to a sound that’s real to us, but invisible to everyone else. And the more we fear it, check it, and focus on it… the more our brain treats it like a threat. In this video, I’m diving into: 🧠Why your subconscious plays such a big role in your tinnitus experience 🧠How fear loops can make tinnitus feel louder and more intrusive 🧠How childhood patterns and beliefs shape the way we react to it 🧠Practical tools to rewire your brain’s response and move toward habituation This isn’t about “thinking your tinnitus away” It’s about understanding how your mind and body are connected and how changing the story you tell yourself can help you reclaim your peace. If you’ve ever wondered why tinnitus feels worse when you’re anxious, or why it’s so hard to stop thinking about it, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about the mind–tinnitus connection and how we can use it to heal 💬 For the Mel Robins podcas episode head here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5JY9c0oOJ4yREQu50LWcaO?si=Sf6DohPBQh2wsuYohxvB_g ⸻ 🔗 Coaching, resources & community support: https://linktr.ee/carislount 💬 Like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more honest videos about life with tinnitus, hearing loss, and everything in between🫶🏻 #Tinnitus #TinnitusJourney #TinnitusSupport #TinnitusRelief #Habituation #Neuroscience #Mindset #ChronicIllness #HearingHealth #JimDoty
