We hear noise around us all the time. The brain places these into order, whats important and whats not. If you’re watching TV your brain will filter out other sounds. You can easily ignore the noises in the background or someone speaking next to you in a restaurant. These aren’t essential sounds, so you don’t listen. But we can tell ourselves which sounds are important. You can respond much more strongly to something that means something to us. .

If you worry about your Tinnitus, often we can’t help but listen for it. Is it the same today? Is it quieter? If it’s louder, why? How long will might it last?  The more you worry about it, the more important the noise seems and the more we stress about it. Then, the more you listen out for it. It’s a downward spiral. As part of our Tinnitus Hypnotherapy, you will also be taught hypnosis to reduce any stress, strengthen the unconscious, and begin to train the mind to no longer notice the sounds so much. Clients experience different results. Sometimes, the sound is dramatically reduced, and other times, it may be that we aren't emotionally hooked on the Tinnitus. There are two types of tinnitus. Objective Tinnitus. In these cases, the person and a consultant can hear the sound. These are caused by a physical condition such as more audible blood flow. Objective tinnitus is rare, but usually, the cause is identifiable and treated by a GP or specialist.  Subjective tinnitus. In these cases the sound is audible only by the person, it is an internalised sound. These are the most common tinnitus and represent 95% of the cases. Their causes and their physiological symptoms are not identified and have no known physical cause.
