The Neuroscience

The Vicious Cycle

Tinnitus isn't just in your ear; it's a loop between your ear, your emotional brain (limbic system), and your autonomic nervous system. This fight is hard because it is natural for us to focus our attention on signals that are annoying, disturbing or distressing. Habituation means to learn to ignore: let Tinnitus fade in the background. But this is only possible if you can stop focusing on it.

1. The Trigger
Tinnitus or a change in Tinnitus (loudness, pitch, location)
2. The Evaluation
The brain's amygdala labels this signal as a disturbance, distress or annoyance.
3. The Reaction
The initial reaction triggers negative thoughts (“What’s happening? What’s wrong with me? Why can’t this noise just stop? I am going mad!”) and these increase the level of negative emotions: stress, anxiety, frustration.
4. The Reinforcement
Attention locks onto the sound, teaching the brain to monitor it constantly as the cause of all these distress. More negative thoughts and emotions keep the cycle running.
