Neuroplasticity — 2 Years Ago I Could Hear Tinnitus Over Everything, Now Only in Certain Situations

How to Heal Tinnitus: Use Neuroplasticity

What are your thoughts?

In my opinion there's something true in this. I have had tinnitus for 2 years and when I relax myself or I am busy I don't hear it, and when I try to listen to it is very mild.

If I am worried about something, or angry, and I try to listen to it, it is loud.

When I am very calm, I almost have silence.

2 years ago I could hear it over everything, now I can hear it loud only when I am excited or worried and only in quiet room. Out of home I can't hear it.

The only thing I did is try to calm and don't think about it.

It is not habituation, something is still changing, I feel it.

 

That's great to hear!

 

Impressive.

I've been wondering about the effects of beneficial neuroplasticity as well as neurogenesis for some time.
Being able to tune with neuroplasticity at will would be akin to a superpower.

 

Sounds like a hocus pocus treatment (don't focus on tinnitus and you'll not hear it) which I don't believe much in, but should not harm to give it a try.

 

OP we have VERY similar experiences.

I'm convinced your brain can tune this out and that the limbic system theory holds a lot of water.

FWIW my tinnitus didn't really start to fade until after I made strides towards habituation.
