Welcome to the next episode of my new Ask Me Anything about tinnitus video series where I answer your most pressing questions about tinnitus!
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 nearly 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 that I have been getting over and over for so many years now: Why do so many doctors and specialists say that there is nothing you can do about tinnitus – that you just have to live with it?
In this video I discuss:
- Why seeking medical treatment is so difficult for tinnitus patients
- Why patients all over the world are incorrectly told by medical professionals that there is nothing they can do about their tinnitus
- Why hearing this from a doctor increases suffering for most tinnitus patients
- Why powerlessness (and not anxiety) is the root emotion at the center of every bothersome case of tinnitus
- Medical hexing and the nocebo effect
- The specific reasons that many medical professionals are not knowledgeable about tinnitus and habituation, or even aware of treatment options
- Why there is always hope for relief, despite what your doctor has told you

HiNancy, If you purchase my tinnitus relief project audio album, there is an app that lets you play all of the 54+ sounds from your iphone (and from as many other devices you like)!
