Hypnotherapy for tinnitus
Tinnitus is a pervasive problem: the perception of noise or ringing in the ears. It is normal to hear sounds after a loud concert or being in a boisterous environment; however, if the noise stays with you, you have probably developed tinnitus.
The most common noises in your ear(s) are:
- Ringing
- Buzzing
- Roaring
- Clicking
- Hissing
- Humming
The sound can be a low roar or very high pitched; it can be continuous or “come and go”, you may hear it in one or both ears.
If you experience tinnitus, it is a symptom of an underlying condition, not a condition itself.
Tinnitus can have physiological, medical origins, but it can also suggest hidden psychological issues.
Tinnitus is often connected with:
- Some form of hearing loss
- Former head injury
- Ménière’s disease
- Conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders or multiple sclerosis
- Certain medications – tinnitus can be a side effect of some chemotherapy medicines, antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aspirin.
- Anxiety or depression
Your first step is to have it checked by your GP and ENT specialists so they can rule out any physiological or medical causes.
Tinnitus is often linked with anxiety, social anxiety or depression. Hypnosis can help not only with symptom relief but also with the underlying emotions that lead to tinnitus. You can learn how to “switch off” the noise, and when you can ignore the sound, you will also be able to relax more, sleep better, focus on your daily tasks and get on with your life.
We will try to find out what the trauma, fear or worry was behind the symptom and deal with the emotion, process it, so it will not cause any further physiological symptoms.
Hypnosis helps you achieve a deeply relaxed state, and we can ask your subconscious to measure, ignore, and eventually cancel it out.
