Hey all, Based on a recent tinnitus challenge/priority vote (see image), I can prepare a new workshop that's focused on one or maybe even both topics. Who's in? Vote below! Looking forward for your feedback! Guy.

When I was early in my tinnitus journey, I tried EVERYTHING. 🫨 Sound therapy, relaxation techniques, supplements, gadgets, different ideas from different people, basically anything that sounded like it might help. The result was not clarity. It was (a lot of) frustration. I was overwhelmed, inconsistent, and even when something seemed to help a little, I had no idea what was actually making the difference. That was a big lesson for me. 💡 Trying 5 things at the same time usually does not speed things up. It usually makes the process harder. Why? Because when you do too much at once: - you do not give each technique enough time or consistency - you overwhelm yourself and add more mental load - you lose track of what is actually helping What helped me much more was this: Pick one or two techniques that actually match what you need RIGHT NOW. Stay with them long enough to learn from them. Then adjust. That part matters a lot, because the right tools depend on your STAGE. For example: If you are in the earlier stage, and the sound is really bothering you, your nervous system feels on edge, and you cannot focus, then you probably need things like: - a routine of relaxation techniques - gentle sound enrichment - maybe one behavioral tool alongside that If you are already starting to stabilize and habituate a bit, then it may make more sense to focus more on: - changing your response to tinnitus - getting back into life more fully - using tools that help you move forward The point is not to do everything. The point is to do the RIGHT THINGS for your STAGE ✅ That made a huge difference for me. Now, I'm curious about you: 💬 👉 Have you ever felt overwhelmed by trying too many tinnitus tools at once? 👉 Or right now, do you feel like you know which one or two things actually fit your current stage best? Yours truly, Guy. PS - If you’d like help understanding your current stage and choosing the right techniques for it, feel free to schedule a free session with me and we’ll go through it together.

Just walked by a primary school with children playing and having a lot of fun (with a lot of noise of cause), to try to get used to sound in the outside world. And it went really well! Hope to be able to join my daughter (who is a scouting leader) at her group having a daughter/ daddy weekend for a few hours.

I’m working on something that could help tinnitus sufferers better understand where they are in their own (relief & habituation) journey and what kinds of tools make the most sense for them. Anyone excited? 🤩
