Calm your Tinnitus: 5 Session Programme

Tinnitus, or the perception of noise in one or both ears when no external sound is present, can be a challenging and sometimes distressing condition. I’ve lived with tinnitus for over 20 years and I know how challenging it can be. While there is currently no cure for tinnitus the good news is that hypnotherapy has been recognised as a valuable tool in managing tinnitus symptoms (Mason & Rogerson, 1994). Chronic tinnitus can lead to stress, sleep problems, and concentration difficulties. Around 13% of adults in the UK experience prolonged tinnitus (NICE, 2023) and it can significantly impact on our quality of life.

How Hypnotherapy Can Help

Hypnotherapy can aid in tinnitus management by addressing the emotional and psychological responses to the condition. A crucial part of managing tinnitus is stress management, as stress can exacerbate the symptoms (Langguth et al., 2012). Hypnotherapy, known for its effectiveness in stress reduction, can help cultivate relaxation and a sense of control. In addition to stress management we’ll also cover focus, ego strengthening and sleep.

The 5 Session Programme

My structured hypnotherapy program is designed to help you change your relationship with tinnitus, reducing its impact on your life. Each session builds upon the last, guiding you toward greater relaxation, control, and resilience.

Session 1: Understanding & Reframing Your Experience

In this first session, we’ll explore your personal experience of tinnitus - what triggers it, how you react to it, and what impact it has on your life. You’ll be introduced to hypnotherapy and how it can help retrain your brain’s response to tinnitus. We’ll also begin with a gentle, guided hypnosis session designed to promote deep relaxation and shift your perception of the sound. Between sessions, you’ll have simple exercises to reinforce a sense of calm.

Session 2: Calming the Nervous System & Reducing Stress

Tinnitus and stress are closely linked, with one often amplifying the other. In this session, we’ll focus on training your nervous system to respond differently. You’ll experience a deeper hypnotic relaxation designed to reduce stress and calm your mind. I’ll guide you through techniques to improve sleep, enhance focus, and create an internal ‘anchor’ - a powerful tool you can use anytime to quickly regain a sense of calm.

Session 3: Shifting Awareness & Building Resilience

Your brain is wired to filter sounds, and we can harness this ability to change how you perceive tinnitus. In this session, we’ll use hypnosis to help retrain your mind to shift its focus, reducing the intensity of tinnitus in your awareness. You’ll also develop greater emotional resilience, strengthening your ability to stay calm and in control, even when tinnitus is present. I’ll introduce mindfulness-based techniques that reinforce this shift and give you more control over your focus.

Session 4: Sleep, Subconscious Patterns & Emotional Release

Many people with tinnitus struggle with sleep, and this session is designed to change that. We’ll address subconscious patterns that may be keeping you in a cycle of frustration and wakefulness, using hypnosis to promote deep and restful sleep. If there are any underlying emotional factors amplifying your response to tinnitus, we’ll work on gently releasing them. You’ll also receive a personalised night-time relaxation routine audio file to help you fall asleep more easily.

Session 5: Empowerment & Long-Term Strategies

In this final session, we’ll review your progress and reinforce the key techniques that have been most effective for you. We will develop a personal tinnitus management plan, ensuring you leave with practical tools you can use long-term. We’ll also introduce advanced visualisation and self-hypnosis methods to support continued improvement. The session will conclude with a final hypnosis experience, focused on deep confidence and control over your response to tinnitus.
