I’d like to start with a story that initially may not seem like it has anything to do with your tinnitus, but please bear with me.
Some years ago I had a social service job helping mentally ill adults from Union County in Northern New Jersey.
Part of my duties involved visiting them at their homes to see how they were doing. Many of their residences were in very close proximity to Newark Liberty International Airport.
This busy transportation hub has an endless procession of takeoffs and landings 24/7, 365 days a year. The massive jet engines create a booming sound that literally rattles the windows of the nearby residences. It can be a jolting experience for a newcomer.
However, what I observed is that while I would cringe slightly whenever a plane roared overhead, the locals paid it scarce attention. They would continue with whatever they were doing, unperturbed.
You see it is in the nature of human beings to acclimate and make peace with their surroundings.
People who live and work near the elevated subways in New York City don’t pay attention to the loud clatter and squeal of the cars passing overhead, while it often startles visitors.
After a time of living near the rushing thunderous sound of Niagara Falls, it is normal not to notice it. The locals have no problem having a normal conversation with one another, while a visitor might find it to be a challenge.
Parents of infants and small children tune their hearing too-learning which sounds the little one makes are OK and which ones are distress calls requiring immediate attention. And as any parent can tell you, sometimes prolonged silence lets you know something is wrong too!
It is an innate potential of the human brain and nervous system to be alert to sounds that indicate a possible threat and to tune out non-threatening sounds.
Sounds perceived consciously or unconsciously as dangerous will be paid attention to-and this the dilemma of the tinnitus sufferer. As will be intentionally repeated during this report, “the less you fear it, the less you hear it.”
Hypnosis as you will learn is not really some form of magic. Rather it may help you do something that you already do naturally; notice some things and filter out others.
In this report you will learn why for most people suffering with tinnitus a mind/body treatment like hypnosis can offer significant relief of your distress. Hope is realistic!
