Meditation takes many forms and can be very useful for treating the side effects of tinnitus, such as stress and anxiety:

‍

Meditation can:

  • Promote relaxation

  • Improve focus

  • Reduce stress and anxiety

  • Improve sleep quality

It can take time and practice to reap the full rewards of meditation so keep going. The meditations in Oto focus on grounding you, helping you to pay attention to the present moment and keeping your attention there. Use them whenever you like, including in the middle of the day.

‍

Using meditation when your tinnitus is noticeable can help you to reframe the tinnitus as a neutral sound, as opposed to a negative one.

When your brain no longer interprets tinnitus to be negative, it's less likely to attend and react negatively to the tinnitus.
