    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. Born deaf in my left ear, I’ve learned firsthand that peace and relief don’t come from silence — they come from understanding, connection, and retraining the brain to see tinnitus as safe.

    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

    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. The more we fight tinnitus, the more our brain treats it like a threat, keeping it front and center in our awareness. In this video, I talk openly about: 🧠 Why resisting tinnitus actually makes it stronger 💡 How your brain’s threat response fuels the tinnitus loop ☕️ The mindset shift that helped me — and hundreds of my clients — find peace 💬 What to focus on instead of chasing silence Real relief doesn’t come from fighting the sound — it comes from changing how you respond to it. That’s when your brain can finally let go and start to habituate. ⸻ 🎓 Ready for real guidance?

    Aug 29 2025
    Hey Tinnitus Friends & Family, Find my free resources at www.habituate.online In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie, a long-standing member of MyTinnitus.Club and the mentor behind our community’s buddy program. Stephanie shares her deeply personal journey of tinnitus habituation – not once, but twice. After initially habituating, Stephanie faced a relapse that brought her back into the thick of tinnitus distress. But through Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and the support of our community, she found her way back to peace and resilience. In this conversation, we explore: • The difference between habituating once… and losing it • How Stephanie rebuilt her mindset through ACT and community support • The tools that helped her most (including music and mindfulness) • Why success isn’t an endpoint, but a process of inner alignment • What advice she has for anyone afraid they’ll never find relief Whether you’re new to tinnitus or worried you’ve lost progress, Stephanie’s story is a powerful reminder that habituation is possible—again and again. 🎧 Tune in now for an honest, hopeful, and healing conversation. Hear you in the next one! Frieder
