Their words. Not mine.
Habituation is difficult to explain. It happens quietly, over weeks — and it looks different for every person. The clearest way to understand it is to hear from people who have been through it.
These are real people. Real tinnitus. No scripts.
Alice · In her own words
Several months with tinnitus. Had tried: ACT, CBT, and the MyTinnitus.Club community.
I decided I was gonna join your club. Within 2 or 3 days of immersing myself in the app, I said to my husband, 'This is gonna get me better.' I just felt there was hope there.
The community ethos gave me hope for the first time since developing it. To see people having little breakthroughs, helping each other — it gives people agency when you feel so hopeless.
ACT was completely new to me, but it was fundamental to get me engaging with life again. It gives you the tools so you can incrementally access your life again.
What changed wasn't the sound. Here's what actually changed.
The shift
From fighting to allowing
Every person in these videos described the same thing: they had been trying to make the sound stop. That kept the nervous system on high alert. When they stopped fighting it — not giving up, but genuinely allowing it — the threat response began to settle.
The shift
From isolation to being understood
Tinnitus is invisible. Most people with it have never been in a room with someone who gets it without needing it explained. In MyTinnitus.Club, that is the baseline. The relief of that is part of what makes habituation possible.
The shift
From suffering to living
Habituation doesn't mean the tinnitus disappears. Every person here still has tinnitus. What changed is that it stopped being the organising principle of the day. Sleep came back. Work became possible again.
Rick · In his own words
Several years with tinnitus. Had tried: Meditation, CBT, ACT — and the MyTinnitus.Club community.
The thing that surprised me the most was — all of a sudden I realised I didn't react to it. I didn't have a reaction to it. And that puzzled me. I wasn't expecting it.
Just being positive and accepting what was going on — it's so hard to explain. It just started to get easier and easier. Now it kind of goes into the background when I get on with things.
I'm probably going to do the meditation the rest of my life. It helps in so many areas, not just the tinnitus. I never thought it would happen — and I'm back to living.
Michelle · In her own words
About a year with tinnitus. Had tried: Coaching with Frieder and the MyTinnitus.Club community.
When you're anxious and scared, it's so much louder. Today it's very mild — it's always there, but it's mild — versus last year, when I was so scared and it was so loud I felt like other people could hear it.
As soon as I got on board with you, I knew I was right where I was supposed to be. Everything I asked you, you knew — how, why, when, where. You're very knowledgeable with all of that.
I don't know if you remember when I was at the hair salon and I had a panic attack, and you were right there going, 'Listen, this is what happens — you're in fight or flight' — and you really calmed me down.
None of them did this alone.
Every person in these videos was part of MyTinnitus.Club — the private community that sits alongside the 12-week program. Not a forum. A small, intentional group of people at every stage of the habituation journey.
What comes through in every conversation is the same thing: it mattered to be around people who didn't need the sound explained to them. People who were further along. People who remembered being where you are now.
Find out, honestly, whether this is a fit for you.
