I have often wondered about Julian. He seems so certain, yet most people familiar with tinnitus know it can have a wide variety of causes. Hands-on therapy is not going to work in many cases. Something worked for him, so he assumes it will work for everyone. That cannot possibly be true for such a complex and varied condition like tinnitus.
I have tried all sorts of things: massage, CBT, TRT, Bowen therapy, psychotherapy, reading books about tinnitus, watching countless videos, and experimenting with so many sound masking tracks that I have lost count. None of it has made any difference. Some days, randomly, the tinnitus is slightly quieter, but overall, it is getting louder all the time. Now it is practically unbearable. I have to medicate heavily just to sleep, which has created a whole new set of problems.
I have lost hundreds of dollars to Treble Health in the US. They seem locked into a single-track approach that does not work for everyone. I paid for one group session with Julian and even considered enrolling with Joey Remenyi in Australia, but I realized in time that she was one of the worst of the lot. Her team bombarded me with emails for months, trying to get me to pay for her courses. Eventually, I blocked them because I was fed up with their predatory behavior and the greed driving it. It is completely amoral to exploit suffering people and sell them false hope.
I mean, maybe some of these "practitioners" believe their own hype, but they certainly know how to make money. Then there is Liam Boehm, another awful example, a snake oil salesman par excellence. Beware of him, too.
As for what caused my tinnitus, I will probably never know. It could have been any of the following: long-term use and too-fast withdrawal from Paroxetine (an SSRI), a COVID-19 booster shot two weeks prior, neck pain or tension, work stress, or none of them at all. One day, about three years ago, I woke up with it, and it has steadily worsened since.
Tinnitus has driven a truck through my life, and I struggle every single day. If anyone ever figures out how to actually cure it, then perhaps they will deserve to make some money. Until then, I wish people would stop peddling false promises.
