How it works
Stress activates the sympathetic nervous system, which heightens sensory sensitivity including tinnitus perception. Relaxation dampens the stress response and reduces tinnitus intrusiveness.
Works best as part of a comprehensive tinnitus management programme. Stress reduction alone is unlikely to be sufficient for severe tinnitus.
Multiple studies show stress correlates with tinnitus severity. Relaxation and mindfulness interventions consistently improve tinnitus-related quality of life.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
