Correction: I, Aidan Noone, said in the podcast to "unthaw the freeze" of course I should have said to, "thaw the freeze" - my apologies for the error.

Here are some practical insights and approaches to reducing tinnitus, as shared by Anne Hogarth—a seasoned audiologist, CBT practitioner, and hypnotherapist:

Key Approaches to Reducing Tinnitus

1. Addressing the Brain, Not Just the Ears:
Tinnitus is generated in the brain, not the ears. Even if the auditory nerve is cut, the tinnitus persists. This means that focusing on how your brain processes the sound is vital.

2. Managing the Stress Response: Tinnitus often puts your body in a heightened state of alertness (the “fight, flight or freeze” response). Reducing anxiety and stress can significantly impact how you experience tinnitus.

3. Hypnotherapy & CBT:
Research and Anne’s clinical experience show that hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are the most effective interventions. These therapies help your brain reclassify the tinnitus sound as less threatening, making it easier to ignore and less distressing.

4. “Filing Away” the Sound:
The brain struggles with tinnitus because it can’t cross-reference this sound with anything known or safe. Hypnotherapy helps you connect the sound with positive or neutral experiences, allowing your brain to “file it away” instead of treating it as a constant alert.

5. Mindfulness and Relaxation:
Practicing mindfulness and deep relaxation helps calm the sympathetic nervous system. Simple activities like focusing on your breath, physical sensations (like the feel of an object), or using guided visualizations can help shift your attention away from tinnitus.

6. Don’t Sit in Silence:
Anne cautions not to stay in quiet environments, as this can make the tinnitus more prominent. Background sounds like gentle music, nature sounds, or even “Zen music” (fractal tones designed for focus and relaxation) can help mask the tinnitus and make it less noticeable.

7. Use Tinnitus as a Signal to Relax:
When you notice your tinnitus, use it as a cue to take a moment for relaxation. This reframing shifts the focus from fighting the sound to using it as a reminder for self-care.

8. Seek Professional Support:
If tinnitus is affecting your quality of life, Anne recommends seeing a trained tinnitus therapist—ideally someone qualified in hypnotherapy and/or CBT. You can look for therapists via professional organizations like the European Association of Professional Hypnotherapists (EAPH).

Quick Tips for Daily Life

- Avoid total silence—keep gentle background noise on.
- Practice mindfulness—engage your senses in positive, grounding activities.
- Challenge negative thoughts—CBT techniques can reduce distress.
- Focus on enjoyable activities—tinnitus often fades into the background when you’re engaged and happy.

Michael Mulvihill
Author | Psychologist | Martial Artist | Hypnotherapist

I am a multi-disciplinary creator with a unique blend of psychological expertise, creative storytelling, and a passion for martial arts. With a BA in Psychology, an MA in Addiction Studies, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy, and certifications in Hypnotherapy, I’ve dedicated my career to exploring the human mind and understanding the complexities of human behavior.

As an author, I write horror and dystopian fiction, including my novels Siberian Hellhole and Diabolis of Dublin. I’m currently working on a dystopian novel and a vampire fiction project (Ethagoria), blending psychological insights with chilling narratives.

Outside of my writing, I hold a black belt in Kenpo and practice martial arts in a way that suits my body’s changing needs due to osteoarthritis. I believe in the power of discipline, adaptability, and consistency—values that shape both my personal and professional life.

I’m also an active content creator, sharing my thoughts on psychoanalysis, horror fiction, and creativity through my YouTube channel, TikTok, and blog (Dark Days Dawning).
