My Journey: From Chaos to Calm.

I’m Caris Lount, and I’m not just a Tinnitus Coach; I’m a Tinnitus Lifer. I truly understand the fear, the isolation, and the despair that sets in when the noise becomes the loudest voice in the room.

For years, I struggled with that overwhelming feeling of losing control over my own mind and my future. After exhausting the usual avenues, I desperately searched for a tool that could bridge the gap between medical treatment and lasting emotional peace. That tool was structured journaling. It gave me the clarity to track my triggers, the resilience to manage spikes, and the power to reclaim my inner calm.

I discovered that while I couldn't silence the noise, I could absolutely master my response to it.

I’ve been through so many earplugs... even ones I recommended before ended up letting me down.

And when you live with tinnitus, every. flaw. matters.

But after a year of searching, I finally found the pair I trust with my hearing - and those are @hearsearplugs

Safe volume, clear sound, protection from tinnitus spikes and you can get 10% off with the link in my bio ✨

Any questions, let me know!

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “failing” because the standard white noise or pink noise advice just makes your tinnitus worse, please know you are NOT alone! 😩

The truth is, effective sound enrichment is 100% individual. If your audiologist, therapist, doctor etc is pressuring you to use a sound that feels grating or causes anxiety, it’s okay to say no. Your comfort is the most important part of habituation.

Looking at this photo, you’d think I was having a peaceful, carefree moment...

Sunlight, flowers, peace… all the things that make a moment feel effortless. But the truth? This photo captured the moment I started to fall apart. Because behind that version of me was a fear I didn’t know how to explain and an absolutely relentless noise no one else could hear.

Lockdown had just ended, and my tinnitus suddenly felt louder, harsher, impossible to escape. I kept trying to ground myself in the beauty around me. But nothing could quiet what was happening inside my head. I went to an audiologist, GP, then ENT, desperately hoping for reassurance. Instead, I heard the same sentence that breaks so many of us: “There’s not much we can do.”

And just like that, I felt completely alone.

Then winter hit. And everything collapsed at once: uni deadlines, zero sleep, too much drinking, stress I tried to pretend wasn’t stress… Some mornings, I couldn’t even leave my room. It felt like my world was shrinking around me, and I didn’t recognise the person I was becoming. And the scariest part? I genuinely believed I’d never feel happy again.

That’s the fear that finally pushed me to talk. Not for courage, not for attention, but because I didn’t know where else to turn. I opened Instagram just to feel less alone… and suddenly, people found me. People who actually understood. People who made me feel human again. Hope.

The climb back was slow. Messy. But CBT, tools, routines, and connection changed everything. And a year later, somehow, I had published ‘The Tinnitus Cookbook’ and sat on the sofa of Good Morning Britain sharing parts of story I once thought would break me.

And now, when I look at this photo, I don’t see someone pretending. I see someone fighting, quietly, fiercely - even when she didn’t realise it. If you’re reading this and you’re in that dark, isolating place right now, please listen closely…

You are NOT weak. You are NOT broken. And you are NOT alone, even if it feels like you are. Better days exist. Calmer days exist. And your story is still unfolding in ways you can’t even imagine yet ❤️

Everyone tells you to mask your tinnitus, but I learned the hard way that blasting sound only makes it WORSE🤯

There’s a huge difference between masking and the right method: Sound Enrichment.

Journaling for tinnitus completely transformed my life and I want to tell you how that happened…

You know that feeling, right? The one where the tinnitus volume is absolutely shouting, and you feel like you just need to press pause on life? 😩

I was stuck in that exhausting cycle for longer than I care to admit. I genuinely never thought I’d find a way out of the fear and that overwhelming feeling of losing control.

Now, when I’m under a cosy blanket and the ringing is spiking, this journal is my non-negotiable anchor.

It’s not about finding magical solutions. It’s about creating an immediate space to drain the fear and frustration out of my head and safely onto the page.

That’s it. And it’s my ultimate reset button.

I can tell you from experience: learning this simple, structured habit is the absolute KEY to changing your whole relationship with the noise.

If you’re curious about how a journal can become your secret weapon, drop your questions below! ☺️✨

You made it to the end of the day... Now let’s stop the ringing from keeping you up!😩

Everyone talks about masking, but I learned the hard way that blasting noise makes it worse.

The real secret is balancing the sound so it’s just BELOW your tinnitus. This is the Mixing Point and what we call sound enrichment.

This teaches your brain to reclassify the tinnitus as unimportant background noise.
