HOLD THE DATE! – Next group meeting FEB. 21ST at Potomac Audiology

For this coming meeting, Alexandria-based practitioner, Virginia Lindahl, PhD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist will come and speak to our group. Dr. LIndahl treats Tinnitus/Hyperacusis patients for related psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, sound phobia, etc.  Highly pertinent to us is that Dr. Lindahl is a supporter of the American Tinnitus Association, and has tinnitus herself.  

She, too, experienced panicky feelings and concerns about her ability to cope.  After learning how to address these emotions, she is able to share this knowledge with others. Dr. Lindahl finds that negative emotional reactions to tinnitus can inhibit our adjustment to the condition. Fortunately, with the right tools to manage our reactions, we can help our brains adapt, and speed along our own process of habituation. “I no longer notice the whine in my ears. I’m back to living my normal pre-tinnitus life,” she says. “You can rejoin your life!”
