[00:00:00]The simplest way to explain how someone gets stuck in bothersome tinnitus is this. Something will happen that triggers the awareness of the tinnitus sound. Then the person will have thoughts about it. What if this doesn't go away? What if I'm stuck like this forever? Oh my gosh, I can't live like this. I'll I can't exist like this. Then those thoughts, they happen really really quick and they cascade like an avalanche very quick. And as these thoughts are cascading, their mind is racing, their heart is beating, they're disassociating, their cortisol is pumping, their amygdala is being hijacked. They feel like it's going to be forever, it's going to be stuck forever. And this one thought leads to another, one thought leads to another.

[00:00:37]And what this what they end up finding themselves in is a place where their brain focused in it is focusing in on the tinnitus because when you are in a panic state like that, you're inadvertently telling your brain tinnitus is a threat and we have to do something about it. But you can't do anything about tinnitus cuz it's in your head. So this leads the person to suffer to feel like a a caged animal trapped, claustrophobic.
