I'm 67 and have had tinnitus for two years now and allowed it to change my choices and behaviours related to loud noises. Last week I went to a live performance of a ska band with a brass ensemble. I was in the mosh pit, feeling the floor under me throbbing from the sound, seeing the joy of people around me as they danced and sang and listening to the music through my ear plugs which allowed the music to reach me as clear as a bell but nowhere near the volume it would've been without them. Fear and anxiety stemming from tinnitus can be overcome with planning and a positive attitude.
Hi Alice. You are absolutely right that fear can immobilize us and shrink our world. I wonder like you and perhaps as so many others how we get caught up in this kind of drama. I also struggle with anxiety which I've had for many years and then with the onset of Tinnitus it made my world even smaller but I have to admit that after I've watched your videos I began to be hopeful because your honesty inspired a positive no BS approach to living along side with anxiety and tinnitus. Thank you! 🙏
I still deal with the fear ofy symptoms. They dont harm me but they do cause me to miss out on stuff. I hate that it has this control over me and am trying my best to regain control of my life. Thanks for veing such a positive person. You are a wonderul person. Keep it up.
Thanks for another encouraging and positive video Alice! Please continue making videos like these! You are our hero and inspiration! And Yes, don't give T a power! Don't let it control you! YES to Life and No to the T controlling you!
This is me just now fear and anxiety and I'm letting it control me it's so sensitive but im trying I've had it before and I can do it again your video helped me
@@jerryatlante1435 it's the fear anxiety I've had it 15 years and I've had these episodes before it's hard to think it will settle the anxiety needs to settle xx thank u
@@davemanuele9435 Alice is being very helpful and encouraging for all of us, she has advised that she is only expressing her lived experience. If you don’t agree or aren’t interested, that’s totally fine. But I suggest you don’t continue watching the videos in that case or comment negatively which brings others down.
You are such a strong woman. I want to be like you. May I ask, is your variable tinnitus like mine, where some days is mostly gone and then it returns with a vengeance?

I am suffering from hyperacusis and tinnitus
You are such a strong woman. I want to be like you.

How long does it take to habituate to T which is 4-5 out of 10? 3 moths so far and still nothing
Accept do not push it away tinnitus is just you’re version of silence relax okay.
Thank you so much!
