Hypnotherapy Directory reports increase in searches for tinnitus support

New data from Hypnotherapy Directory suggests that more people may be looking for holistic ways to support tinnitus.

Hypnotherapy may be able to support people with tinnitus and the problems that arise as a result, such as stress, anxiety, and sleep problems. 

When comparing year-on-year data, Hypnotherapy Directory noticed a 99% increase in people searching for tinnitus on their website. Last February during Tinnitus Awareness Week, Hypnotherapy Directory noted a huge 309% increase in people searching for information on tinnitus and hypnotherapy.

Tinnitus Awareness Week takes place from Monday 3rd February – Friday 7th February 2025; more information about raising awareness for tinnitus is available on the Tinnitus UK website.

Hypnotherapy for tinnitus

Clinical Hypnotherapist and Hypnotherapy Directory member Claire Edwards talks about the impact of tinnitus on individuals:

"Tinnitus can lead to mental and physical exhaustion, often causing feelings of irritability and frustration. Individuals may struggle to focus on tasks or activities due to the persistent noise, which can manifest as ringing, buzzing, humming, or hissing sounds, typically noticeable during quiet moments.

Tinnitus can be influenced by a variety of physical and mental health conditions, as well as environmental factors. The symptoms can be quite distressing, leading to challenges such as anxiety, depression, and difficulties with sleep. As patients struggle to cope with the persistent sounds, these emotional and psychological impacts can create a cycle that further complicates their overall wellbeing."

How can hypnosis help?

Claire supports clients in managing tinnitus, helping them find relief through hypnosis. While hypnotherapy may not eliminate tinnitus, it can help individuals change their perception of the sounds, making them feel easier to live with.

Claire explains more about the potential benefits:

"For the past five years, I have been treating patients with tinnitus using hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). Many individuals report positive changes in their thoughts and feelings when the noise subsides, leading to greater happiness and confidence. This approach not only helps them read and study peacefully but also alleviates issues such as blushing in public and social phobia associated with tinnitus, significantly enhancing their overall quality of life."
