Welcome to another new episode of my Ask Me Anything about tinnitus video series where I answer your most pressing questions about tinnitus (and related conditions like hyperacusis)!
For those new to the blog, my name is Glenn Schweitzer, and I’m author of the book Rewiring Tinnitus. I also write a monthly tinnitus column at Healthyhearing.com, and for the last 8 years, I’ve worked with more than 1000 tinnitus patients 1-on-1 from all over the world as a tinnitus coach, helping people to habituate as quickly as possible to find lasting relief from the ringing in their ears.
In today’s video, I will be answering an important question about my tinnitus-focused-meditation techniques that I get from new followers all the time: How can focusing on your tinnitus help you to habituate and find relief?
In this video I discuss:
- The tinnitus-focused-meditation habituation techniques I teach at Rewiring Tinnitus
- How meditation techniques can help you to habituate more quickly
- An explanation of my habituation protocol in more scientifically grounded terms: Relaxation-Enhanced Graded Exposure Therapy
- The similarities between a severe phobia and bothersome tinnitus
- The benefits of exposure therapy for tinnitus relief
- How specific meditation techniques can facilitate a kind of relaxation enhanced graded exposure therapy to accelerate habituation
