Hypnotherapy notes
|
|
It is possible to use hypnotherapy to psychologically "tune out" the perceived sound. A medical cause for the symptoms must previously have been treated and / or excluded.
Where a physical element remains the hypnotherapist uses a negative hallucination to enable the client to not hear something that has a permanent "physically" cause.
Where there is no physical cause / no longer a physical cause the hypnotherapist can turn the volume down and / or enable the client to focus away from the sound.
NB Some medications such as erythromycin and minocycline seem to generate tinnitus as a side effect. Consult your GP if affected.

Tinnitus is when you hear a sound that no one else can hear. Different people hear different things such as ringing, buzzing or more complex sounds.
Tinnitus can vary in intensity and be constant or intermittent. In some cases it can be described as a pulsating sound.
What causes tinnitus?
Any ear disorder can cause tinnitus. Some of the most common examples of these are given below:
- damage caused by extreme noise
- age-dependent hearing reduction
- an obstruction in the ear canal - a large amount of earwax or a foreign object
- a pierced eardrum
- inflammation of the middle ear
- high blood pressure
- some medications may cause tinnitus as a side effect, especially when the dose is exceeded, eg aspirin
- rare cause: a benign tumor on the acoustic nerve
Before seeking assistance your GP should be consulted to ensure that any physical causes have been treated and resolved as far as possible.
Tinnitus related testimonials
- "I found Bill on-line as I was hearing weird noises occurring in my new flat which could not be explained. Looked at paranormal activity, checked all local internal and external noises to no avail. Met Bill explained about how the brain works as it is a complicated part of the body. did technical tests, showed me how stressed I was through these tests which amazed me, I didn't think I was a person who was the stressful type, how wrong was I, after the first initial session Bill had turned around the stress readings that he initially took, and I was amazed. He explained I was suffering from a form of Tinnitus which only occurred in my new flat, it didn't effect me out doors. Following a further 3 sessions Bill through hypnosis, breathing and thought techniques and getting me to discuss possible triggers has improved my situation unbelievably. I still get the hearing issues from time to time but I understand it is through stress but know how better to control the noise through his techniques. The only reason I stopped my appointments was due to starting a new job where my time is not my own. Once I know my new routine I'm sure I will contact Bill for more session and advice. {Tinnitus via Google reviews}*
