Something exciting for this Saturday 🙌
We're doing another live workshop, and this time I want you to shape it. 👨‍🦰👩 No preset topics from me. Just tell me what you want to dig into. Whatever is on your mind about tinnitus right now, comment below and I'll build the workshop around what you need most. Here's what I love about these live sessions: the real magic often happens in the conversation. When you show up with a real question, and someone else nods because they've felt the exact same thing, that's when things start to shift. You realize you're not figuring this out alone. Timing will be the usual, around 9am Pacific (noon Eastern). If that time doesn't work for you, let me know and we can look at moving it. ⌚ And as always, once we cover the main topic we'll open the floor for general questions and discussion, so you can connect and ask anything else on your mind. 🤔 So tell me: - Will you join us? - What do you want to cover this Saturday? Comment below 👇 Yours truly, 🙏 (your tinnitus) Guy. Event link: https://www.skool.com/tinnitus/calendar?eid=f86f3a36c6594d99bf52eb0b4c23d99c

Guy, thank you again so much for taking the time to do these Saturday meetings. I truly appreciate your dedication to this community, and I’ll definitely be there! Here is my question ; “What are some subtle milestones in habituation that people often overlook because they’re still focused on how loud their tinnitus is?”

@Guy Cohen Yes many thanks to Elena for all her help and support. God bless you both 🙏🙏
What if you stopped asking, "How loud is my tinnitus?"
Instead, ask yourself: ✨ "How fully did I live today?" Tinnitus recovery isn't just about quieter days. It's about laughing with your family. Finishing a work project. Going for a walk. Watching your favorite show. Meeting a friend for coffee. Doing the things you thought tinnitus had taken away. The more your life becomes the focus, the less tinnitus has to be. Your brain learns from where you place your attention not just from the volume of the sound. Today, don't measure your progress by your tinnitus. Measure it by the life you lived despite it. What's one thing you did today that made you feel like you again?

@Michael Bowen Mike, that’s awesome! It’s great to see you living your life again and not letting tinnitus control you. Keep it up—you’re headed in the right direction, and habituation will follow. Wishing you all the best on your journey! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@Elena Thompson Thank you 🙏🏼
Slept a long time
I've been having difficulty waking up during the nigh because of T. Last night I decided/told myself I was going to have a good night's sleep. Surprisingly I did! I slept for 8.75 hours which I haven't done in a longgggg time. I did not wake up until 5am but went quickly back to sleep. I'll take it!

That’s awesome! Sleep is so important, and I love that you took control and told your body it was time to get a good night’s sleep. That’s a great win! I’m really hoping this is the start of many more restful nights for you. Keep it up and God bless you ! 🙏🏼
A Bad Tinnitus Day Is NOT a Reset
Hey awesome people! Are you ready for my normal level of content again? 😄 I’m now beginning week 2 here in Peru for our gap year overseas, and we’re finally starting to settle down a little. That means my content generation should gradually start increasing again, videos too, and I want to begin with a topic that keeps coming up everywhere: In live workshops. In coaching sessions. In online tinnitus discussions. And in the private messages I receive from people who are trying very hard to make progress. The topic is: tinnitus fluctuation. The good day / bad day cycle. This is one of the most frustrating parts of tinnitus recovery. Because a good day gives you hope. The sound may still be there, but you feel more in control. You focus better. You feel calmer. You sleep a little easier. You start thinking: “Maybe I’m finally turning a corner.” Then the next day, the sound is louder again. Or your nervous system feels more reactive. Or you wake up tired. Or you start checking the sound before your feet even touch the floor. And suddenly, it feels like all your progress disappeared. This is where so many people get pulled back into the tinnitus loop. They start asking: “Why is it louder today?” “What did I do wrong?” “Did I lose my progress?” “Am I back to square one?” “What if this never settles?” But here is the important part: A bad tinnitus day is not a reset. Fluctuation does NOT mean failure. Tinnitus progress is rarely a straight line. It often looks more like this: Good day. Hard day. Better day. Spike day. Calmer day. Frustrating day. Another good day. Before habituation becomes more stable, that back-and-forth can feel emotionally exhausting. But the fluctuation itself is not usually what destroys progress. 👉 What creates the setback is how we RESPOND to the fluctuation. When the sound changes, the brain often wants to react immediately. Monitor it. Compare it to yesterday. Search for the reason. Look for reassurance. Test it in different rooms.

I completely agree with this message. At the end of the day, it’s our choice whether we stay stuck in the tinnitus loop or move forward and truly live our lives. I choose to move forward, lean into all the tools you’ve given us, and keep living life to the fullest. The more we do that, the more tinnitus can fade into the background where it belongs, instead of being the center of our lives. Thank you for continuing to remind us what’s possible!
Silence of the serpent
Well, it happened again: non-lasting relief yesterday. Awoke very early am to silent T. Always a shock. It’s like I’m inhabiting someone else’s body at first. As the hours of the day passed, I remained silent. Once again the simple pleasure of sitting in a quiet garage cannot be underestimated. Anyway, bedtime came and still silent. What a wonderful experience - until it wasn’t. The 24-26 hours of no T symptoms now replaced by the usual this morning, albeit slowly and subtly at the outset. So, there was a little “mercy” involved.🙂

@Patricia Reid I’m sorry that happened. I know how startling those sudden loud sounds can be, especially when you’re already dealing with tinnitus and sound sensitivity. Try to remind yourself that a spike after a loud, unexpected noise is a very common reaction and doesn’t mean you’ve caused any damage or set yourself back. Give your nervous system some time to settle, use your usual calming strategies and Guy’s spike protocol , and let the volume come back down on its own. You’ve got this, and you’re not alone in this journey. ❤️

I’ve had tinnitus for a year after I had sudden hearing loss. I’m 60 years old & have been in construction my whole life. I’m going to get habituated!
