Episode 122 - Why Tinnitus is an Anxiety Condition and How to Find Relief

Hey Tinnitus Friends & Family, Find all my resources at www.habituate.online In this special live Q&A session, tinnitus coach Frieder dives deep into one of the most important — and misunderstood — aspects of tinnitus: its connection to anxiety. If you’ve ever felt like your tinnitus got worse when you were stressed, anxious, or scared, this episode is for you. 💬 In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why tinnitus is often more about your brain’s response than the sound itself • How the anxiety loop keeps your nervous system on high alert • Why reassurance from doctors often backfires • What really helps you shift out of fear and into resilience • How Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can reduce the struggle • And how to build long-term emotional strength to support real habituation Frieder also answers live community questions about tinnitus and sleep, medication, coaching, and his 12-week tinnitus habituation program inside MyTinnitus.Club. ⸻ 🧠 Key takeaway: Tinnitus is not a life sentence. It’s a signal your brain has misinterpreted — and with the right support, structure, and mindset, you can rewire that response and reclaim your peace of mind. ⸻ 📌 Mentioned in this episode: • 💡 Free Tinnitus Mini-Course • 🌍 Join the Community & 12-Week Program • 📺 YouTube Channel for Success Stories & Tutorials • 💤 Tinnitus & Sleep Resources ⸻ 🎙️ Hosted by: Frieder Kühne, founder of MyTinnitus.Club — tinnitus coach & ACT practitioner 📍 Recorded live from Berlin
