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 10 years, I’ve worked one-on-one with more than 1000 tinnitus patients 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 answer one of the questions I hear more than any other in my work as a tinnitus coach:
“Why can’t I stop noticing or checking my tinnitus?”
Many people struggling with tinnitus find themselves constantly monitoring the sound or checking to see if it has gotten louder or changed. In this video, I explain why this happens, why it’s a normal part of the habituation process, and why noticing your tinnitus does not mean you’re going backward.
