The Power of Breath

When you feel overwhelmed or notice your tinnitus spiking, your breathing often becomes shallow and rapid. This can activate your body's stress response, making you feel even more anxious.

By consciously slowing down your breath, you can directly influence your nervous system, signaling to your body that it's safe to relax. This can lower your heart rate, reduce muscle tension, and quiet the mind, which in turn can lessen the perceived intensity of tinnitus.

Our Breathing Techniques

• Box Breathing

  A simple yet powerful technique used by Navy SEALs to stay calm under pressure. It involves four equal parts: inhaling, holding the breath, exhaling, and holding again. This rhythmic pattern helps reset your nervous system and improve focus.

• 4-7-8 Breathing

  Known as the "relaxing breath," this technique emphasizes a longer exhale to fully empty the lungs and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest and digestion. It's particularly effective for promoting sleep and reducing anxiety.
