Introduction
Introduction It is my heartfelt wish that you learn how to let go of your tinnitus and feel much happier as a result. Although I cannot guarantee how long it will take or how much you will improve, if you follow these guidelines I have no doubt you will notice a difference. Please note that this book applies equally to people with Meniere’s Disease. In the first four chapters I explain the basics: what...Chapter 1: Establishing the ground
I had tinnitus moderately for 16 years, severely for 4 years and today I am not aware of it at all. When I get a cold, or overdo things, it sometimes creeps back as a feint fizzle, but that only takes up a few seconds of my attention. I feel very much that I have become cured of tinnitus and that I have learnt a lot about it through this process. Like many of you, I was told there was nothing I could do about it and...Chapter 2: What are tinnitus people like?
Chapter 2 What are tinnitus people like? Recognising you are overwhelmed and getting support so that you can let go of this state is one of the most useful ways forward. Before we look at how to come out of this state of red-alert, let’s be really clear what we are talking about here. Red-alert has many tell-tale symptoms. How many of these can you recognise in yourself? Tick the ones that apply to...Chapter 3: How to make progress
Chapter 3 How to make progress. In the next section you will come to the Well-being Matrix for Tinnitus ©. This shows how people get better and outlines some of the general issues they have to work through to progress to a new level of improvement. I have put this together after years of study, work as a therapist with hundreds of people and of course direct personal experience and experimenting. You will...Chapter 4: Charting your progress
Chapter 4 Charting your progress So now that we have got some of the ground-work in place, lets start the process of getting better. Please look at the Well-being Matrix for Tinnitus © at the beginning of the book. I suggest you tear it out and place it somewhere where you will notice it. This matrix charts how people get better, showing the landmarks of progress along the way in seven levels. When you notice...LAUD you for your compassion and initiative...

"If you really look
after yourself and learn to get in touch
with
how you are feeling inside and learn to process that, that is the way
out of tinnitus. Most people spend their whole lives running away from
themselves, filling their lives with furious frantic activity, proving
this, doing that. The best thing you can do is sit with yourself and
notice how you are, how you are treating yourself. And if you can treat
yourself with loving kindness and really accept how you are with a
really wonderful, open-hearted, deep, caring approach, just like you
would mother a baby, for example. If you can really look after
yourself, your nervous system will change. Nothing is fixed. Everything
is constantly changing and flowing, and it is entirely dependent on the
way you approach yourself. Look after yourself, and your tinnitus will
back off."
Wow,
good stuff...
“I REALLY appreciate your asking Julian about my questions this morning! You posed them in such a clear and dear way and protective of my ‘identity”. It is amazing that I was home and able to listen. I had over slept, (I am on vacation) had missed an early appointment for my car and so I called, cancelled it and looked on my computer and it was 8 minutes to the broadcast! Was I surprised, delighted and grateful to hear you both discuss the issues that are pressing me. I thank you. I also am taking your website and Julian’s advice and working on awareness of RED-ALERT and difficulty surrendering or relaxing into support. Wow, good stuff. Julian reminds me a bit of Ekhart Tolle. Doesn’t he you? And funny to say, you remind me of myself when you are questioning him! With gratitude”

I really feel you're going to make some peoples' lives millions of times better. I really do.
I would just like to say thank you for what you are doing. This world is really lacking people like you that aren't all about themselves. It really makes me pleased to see that you're getting your and Julian's ideas out there, and I really feel you're going to make some peoples' lives millions of times better. I really do.

"It's not unethical
to say that it's incurable, it's just
totally
incorrect. In fact, if I go back and I look at the cases that I've
worked on, and I've worked with thousands of people over a decade, and
the vast majority, are either dramatically better, or their tinnitus is
gone. One of the two."
...my tinnitus was gone
""It is not coincidence that I saw your e-mail this am, right at the

"I can say in good
conscience that tinnitus is curable. That's
the
bottom line: that tinnitus is curable, and I dare say, for just about
everyone who comes down with it."
Please don't tell the ATA
"As I may have mentioned earlier, ATA.org is incredibly mediocre (if that much!), compared to your organization. I even found the British T. site far superior to ATA.org and now, I have found you guys!!!"

(Honestly, we want to stay friends
with the ATA and we cherish the work
they do...so let's keep this one between us...)

"It's such an
incredibly low volume if I recognize it once a
week
it's just because I'm out in the backyard looking at the stars thanking
the universe for what it has given to me, and I go 'how did I get to
this point?" Oh yeah tinnitus helped me get here. Let's listen to it
for a second, let's pay hommage to the tinnitus for a second and go
thanks you did some good work. Thank you.

Literally clearing the fog from 20 years of T
"the information, research, support, and shows with dainis and julian are literally clearing the fog of the T i have endured for 20 years. it’s not about the ears it’s about the body and soul. i’m sure ancient wisdom had more answers to T than the entire medical community has at this time. this site is really quite groundbreaking."
