Summary

At 19 years old, I developed severe tinnitus. I was terrified. Desperate. Completely alone. The ENT told me: "There's nothing we can do. You'll have to learn to live with it." And then sent me home. That experience is why I built My Tinnitus Club. I built what I needed when I was 19—and what I wish had existed back then. In this video, I'm sharing: Why apps, courses, and forums aren't enough What makes My Tinnitus Club different How community changes everything for tinnitus habituation Here's the problem with tinnitus apps: They treat tinnitus like a solo problem you solve alone. You download the app. Watch pre-recorded videos. Do exercises by yourself. Track progress on a chart. But when you're struggling at 2am—when your tinnitus is screaming and you think you'll never get better—the app isn't there. The algorithm doesn't know you're suffering. The pre-recorded videos can't respond to your specific situation. And that isolation? That's exactly what makes tinnitus worse. Here's what I've learned after working with 700+ people: Your nervous system doesn't learn safety from an algorithm. It learns safety from other humans. That's not motivational talk. That's neuroscience. We're wired for co-regulation—being around other people who've been through what we're going through. Apps can't give you that. But community can. Why I built My Tinnitus Club: When I was 19, I was born deaf in my left ear—so I only had one functioning ear. At 19, I damaged it at a concert. Severe, high-pitched tinnitus. I was terrified. I went to the ENT desperate for help. He said: "There's nothing we can do. Protect your hearing in the future. Good luck." No support. No resources. No follow-up. Just: "Figure it out on your own." So I did what most people do: Googled endlessly Read horror stories on forums Tried every supplement, sound therapy, supposed cure And I felt completely alone. Years later, when I became a tinnitus coach, I thought: "What if I had this at 19? What if I didn't have to spend years figuring this out alone?" So I built it. A safe space where people can: Learn the most effective tools for habituation (12-week ACT-based program) Be supported daily by real people who understand Never feel alone with tinnitus again I built what I needed when I was 19.
