Thank you, Dr. Ben, for your patience and kindness. Before finding your help I struggled to make peace with my tinnitus. I went to ENT doctors and audiologists and almost everyone I saw told me that it's hopeless and I will "learn to live with it." But after my first session with you, it was easy for me to get reoriented. You showed me the science behind tinnitus, how to accept it as a condition rather than feeling defeated or disabled by it. You also shared the success stories of folks who did progressively better with understanding, coaching, support, and technology. I then attended one of your group sessions and heard more encouraging stories of other tinnitus warriors. Besides, the positivity and calmness with which you speak about "habituation" helped me have faith. I decided to work harder for finding the right solutions for me through mindfulness and technology. With your support, I chose not to give up. My tinnitus is far from gone but I know I will get habituated (used to it). Things are already moving in a positive direction for me. Thank you for showing the pathway to understanding and accepting tinnitus. It has certainly helped in overcoming the feeling of being overwhelmed, all the time. I am enjoying interactions with family and friends and I am myself again.
