    Episode 137 - 100.000 Subscribers on Youtube and My Tinnitus Story
    Dec 5 2025
    Hey Tinnitus Friends & Family, We hit 100,000 subscribers on Youtube. Wow. If you have tinnitus, this episode is for you — because today I want to celebrate you and share the story behind this entire channel, how I became a tinnitus coach, and why I’ve dedicated my life to helping people move from fear and frustration toward relief and habituation. In this special episode, I’ll walk you through: 🔹 My personal tinnitus journey — from being born deaf in one ear to living with severe, high-pitch tinnitus 🔹 The burnout and setbacks that shaped my approach 🔹 How I accidentally became a tinnitus coach 🔹 What I’ve learned from working with 700+ people 🔹 Why this community matters far more than the subscriber count 🔹 What actually helps habituation (that science often overlooks) Tinnitus isn’t just a sound. It’s the anxiety, the fear, the sleepless nights, the “why me?”, the emotional rollercoaster that no one warned us about. And yet — every single day — I see people change. I see hope return. I see lives rebuild, one mindset shift at a time. If you’re new here, struggling, or feeling alone with all of this… I made this video for you. And if you’ve been part of this journey for a while: thank you. You’re the reason we reached this milestone. ✨ Helpful Resources Mentioned Free 4-Day Tinnitus Habituation Course 👉 https://habituate.online The 12-Week Tinnitus Program & Community 👉 https://mytinnitus.club Thank you for being here.

  • Episode 136 - How to Explain Tinnitus to Family and Friends (So They Finally Get It)

    Episode 136 - How to Explain Tinnitus to Family and Friends (So They Finally Get It)
    Nov 28 2025
    Hey Tinnitus Friends & Family, Feeling like you’re carrying your tinnitus experience completely on your own? You’re not the only one — and in today’s video, I want to help you bridge that gap between what’s going on inside you and what the people around you can actually understand. This week, we’re talking about how to explain tinnitus to friends and family in a way that builds connection instead of distance. Because while they may never hear the sound you hear, they can absolutely understand the feelings — the exhaustion, the tension, the fear, the overwhelm. That’s the key. In this video, you’ll learn: Why describing the sound never really works How to communicate your feelings and physical experience instead Why that shift helps people validate and support you How connection calms the nervous system — and supports habituation Why you’re not “needy,” “dramatic,” or “too much” — you’re human How to stop carrying this burden alone I’ll also share the reason I built mytinnitus.club: because sometimes you need a place where people truly get it — without feeling like you’re draining or repeating yourself to the people you love. When you feel understood and safe, your nervous system can finally stop fighting… and that’s when habituation becomes possible. That’s when tinnitus starts fading into the background, naturally and steadily. Hope you found it useful and hear you soon! Your Tinnitus Coach Frieder

  • Episode 134 - You’re Not Alone With Tinnitus — Your Brain Just Thinks You Are

    Episode 134 - You’re Not Alone With Tinnitus — Your Brain Just Thinks You Are
    Nov 7 2025
    Hey Tinnitus Friends and Family, Tinnitus can make you feel completely isolated — like no one else could ever understand what you’re going through. But the truth is: that feeling of isolation isn’t real. It’s perceived. When your brain believes you’re on your own with something scary, your nervous system goes into survival mode — releasing stress hormones, heightening your alertness, and making the tinnitus feel louder and more intrusive. In today’s video, I’ll explain: 💡 Why tinnitus can make you feel so lonely (and why that’s normal) 💡 How this perceived isolation keeps your brain stuck in the tinnitus loop 💡 What happens when your brain finally feels safe again 💡 Why connection, not silence, is the real foundation of relief 💡 And how joining a supportive community can help your brain calm down and habituate You’re not alone — not even close. There are thousands of us walking this same path. And when you start to feel connected again, your brain can finally begin to relax, and your tinnitus starts to fade into the background. 🌱 🧠 Start your journey today: 🎧 Free 4-Day Habituation Course → www.habituate.online 🌍 Join our global 12-Week Community Program → www.mytinnitus.club 👂 About Me I’m Frieder — Tinnitus Coach, Founder of MyTinnitus.Club, and someone who’s lived with severe tinnitus for 16 years.

    Episode 133 - Tinnitus Relief Explained: How Habituation Works and What to Expect
    Oct 31 2025
    Hey Tinnitus Friends & Family, Most people think “habituation” means learning to ignore their tinnitus — or somehow forcing their brain to stop hearing it. But that’s not what real relief is about. In this episode, Frieder explains what tinnitus habituation truly means and why chasing silence or trying to “do” habituation only keeps you stuck in the struggle. You’ll learn: 🧠 What’s actually happening in the brain during habituation 💡 Why your goal shouldn’t be silence but safety 🌱 How real change starts when your brain stops tagging tinnitus as a threat This episode is the perfect starting point for anyone new to tinnitus relief — or for anyone who needs a reminder that healing doesn’t come from fighting the sound, but from changing the way we relate to it. 🎓 Free 4-Day Course → https://habituate.online 🌍 Join the 12-Week Program & Community → https://mytinnitus.club Have a great weekend!

    Episode 132 - The Hardest Part About Tinnitus
    Oct 24 2025
    Hey Tinnitus Friends & Family, Most people think the hardest part about tinnitus is the sound itself. But it’s not. It’s what that sound makes us believe. The fear. The hopelessness. The thought that “I’ll never feel normal again.” That’s what keeps so many people stuck. In this honest, unscripted “coffee chat,” I talk about how we attach meaning to tinnitus — and how those beliefs can quietly fuel our anxiety, stress, and exhaustion. When we begin to change the way we interpret tinnitus, the brain can finally start to calm down. In this video, you’ll learn: 🧠 Why the real struggle isn’t the sound — it’s the fear behind it 💭 How our thoughts shape how loud or threatening tinnitus feels 💡 What happens when we stop trying to control tinnitus and start changing our perspective 🎓 Ready to start retraining your brain for calm? Join my FREE 4-day tinnitus relief course → https://habituate.online 🕊️ Relief starts when you stop believing tinnitus controls your life. You can get your peace back — one small mindset shift at a time. #TinnitusRelief #TinnitusCoach #Habituation #MindsetShift #TinnitusHelp

    Hey Tinnitus Friends, Most people spend months or even years trying to fight their tinnitus — only to find that it keeps getting louder and harder to ignore. But there’s a reason for that.
