We’re stepping into a new month… and that means a new opportunity to shift something. Instead of keeping it to yourself, let’s do this together. Comment below ONE thing you want to improve this month. It could be: • Sleeping better • Reducing anxiety around tinnitus • Using your tools more consistently • Feeling less reactive • Getting back to something you’ve been avoiding • Or anything personal that matters to you (life, health, family, money, anything) Then tag 1–2 members you want to see make progress this month too. (tag using the @ symbol followed by a name) After you comment, scroll up/down and encourage someone else. A few words of support can change someone’s whole week! Small steps. Consistent effort. Support around you. That’s how momentum builds. Let’s make this month count. 💛

Hi everyone! 👋 I’d love your input to make the next video or post as helpful as possible. Please comment below with your ideas. Be as detailed as you can so we know exactly what to focus on. 👈 Questions to consider when commenting: - What topic or question about tinnitus (or related challenges) would you like me to cover? - Any specific situations, struggles, or tips you want included? Your feedback really helps shape my content creation process, so please don’t hold back. Awaiting your feedback...! 🕑😁 Guy.

I get this question every now and then, and today again as a response to one of my posts. “How do I know if I’m beginning to habituate… or actually making progress?” This is such an important question. Because most people are waiting for the wrong sign. - The sound to disappear completely. - To wake up one morning and feel “fixed.” - To feel zero fear or stress when it spikes. But progress in tinnitus relief is often subtle. It shows up as small, gradual changes. Here are some real signs that you may be moving in the right direction: • You still hear it, but you don’t check it as often. • A spike happens, but you recover faster. • You forget about it for a few seconds or minutes. • Your fear response is less intense than it used to be. • You’re sleeping slightly better, even if not perfectly. • You don’t panic every time the sound changes. Now here’s something very important: You do not need to experience all of these. You might notice one. Maybe two. Maybe three. That’s enough. These are examples of signs, not a checklist you must complete. Habituation is not a switch. It’s nervous system retraining. And most people miss their own progress because they’re looking for perfection instead of improvement. 🔷 Okay… So Now What? If you recognize even one of these signs, don’t ignore it. Use it. This is where many people accidentally stall. They see small progress… but then go back to waiting. Instead, this is the moment to lean in. Now you want to strengthen the tools that match your specific challenge. For example: If your tinnitus is linked to hearing loss and your biggest struggle is sleep → Focus on a consistent sleep routine, relaxation techniques before bed, and if needed, sound support that feels neutral and safe. If your biggest issue is anxiety and reactivity → Double down on nervous system regulation, breathing techniques, observation and redirection, and reducing unhelpful thinking. If your main challenge is spikes → Focus on reducing triggers, improving stress resilience, and shortening the recovery time instead of trying to eliminate every spike.

Meet Elena Thompson 👋 @Elena Thompson Like many of us, Elena has been living with tinnitus for many years. She went through her own tinnitus relief journey, with many of the bumps we all are going/went through. After speaking with her a few times, I can comfortably say she understands both the emotional and practical sides of this journey. Elena agreed to help me keep this space organized and supportive so that everyone here can get the most value possible. 🤗 Please join me in welcoming her. 💙🙏 Warm regards, Guy.

Whether today feels special, ordinary, or somewhere in between, I just want to send you a little reminder of something important. Living with tinnitus takes more patience than most people around you will ever fully understand. And patience with yourself is a form of love too. If you can, try to give yourself one small act of kindness today. It doesn’t have to be big. A short walk. A quiet cup of tea. A few minutes of breathing. Turning the volume down on self-criticism. That counts. If you feel like sharing, what’s one small thing you’re doing for yourself today? Or what’s your simple plan for today, even if it’s just “taking it easy”? Sending warmth to all of you. ❤️🙏 (your tinnitus) Guy.
