One of the tools tinnitus sufferers don't talk about enough is visualization. The practical, CBT-backed kind that helps your brain shift focus away from tinnitus symptoms, anxiety and stress. A few examples people in this community use: - Picture the sound moving away from you. The point is creating distance. 🌿 - The bus driver visualization. You imagine yourself in the driver's seat, fully in control, choosing where your attention goes instead of the sound choosing for you. 🚌 - The switch. Some people picture an actual dial or switch for their tinnitus volume, and imagine turning it down or off. 📴 I won't go deep into the mechanics right now, but I want to know something... Have you tried visualization as part of your toolbox? Does it help you get back to your day, your work, whatever you're trying to focus on? Comment below and tell me if it worked for you or not. 💬 And if enough of you are curious, I'll dedicate part of tomorrow's workshop to walking through these in more detail. See you tomorrow during the community workshop! (your tinnitus) Guy

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

Most of you know Sue from our live workshops. She's been showing up week after week, doing the work, asking the honest questions. What you might not know is what she walked through to get here... A year and a half ago, Sue had some mild hearing loss and didn't think much of it. An MRI found a large acoustic neuroma. She went through a 12-hour brain surgery, woke up deaf in one ear, and had to relearn how to walk and talk. And on top of all of that, loud tinnitus. 24/7. Nine months ago she described her life with one word. Hell. We sat down for an interview this week and I'll be honest, there were moments I had to just pause and take it in. Because the Sue in this video is smiling. Sleeping again. Her words, not mine: "I'm happy. I smile. I can live my life." 🥹 @Susan Harcharik Sue, thank you!! For your courage, for your honesty, and for sharing this so someone out there who feels lost right now can see what's possible. 🙏💙 This one is dedicated to everyone in this community dealing with tinnitus from a medical condition who's wondering if their situation is too complicated. Watch it. It isn't. What part of Sue's story landed the most for you? Comment below your thoughts, questions, or anything else that comes to your mind after watching this video. 💬 Yours truly, (your tinnitus) Guy.

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.

Hard to believe we've been here for 5 days already... Before the move we were in moving chaos. 😳 Now we're in settling down chaos! 🤣 Stable Internet connection is #1 priority I'm working on, with mobile backup. Then, there a bunch of things we need to get to feel comfortable in this apartment. Work in progress... Meanwhile, here are a couple more pictures from our trip and final destination. Warm regards from Peru! Leo, Luli, and Guy. PS - It's now winter here.
