TINNITUS / AUDITORY CALM / SOUND SENSITIVITY SUPPORT
Controlled Auditory Quieting, Sound-Sensitivity Calm, Rest & Recovery-State Support
Controlled Wellness-Support Use Only
Not Tinnitus Treatment - Not Hearing Treatment - Not A Substitute For Medical Care
Overview
This QHS Tinnitus / Auditory Calm / Sound Sensitivity Support Protocol is a controlled wellness-support audio session intended to support relaxation, auditory calm, sound-sensitivity downshift, nervous-system settling, evening decompression, sleep preparation, and recovery-state rest for individuals experiencing tinnitus-related stress or auditory overload.
This protocol is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, reverse, or manage tinnitus, hearing loss, ear disease, vertigo, auditory processing disorder, Meniere's disease, infection, acoustic trauma, neurologic disease, medication effect, or any medical condition. Licensed medical care remains primary.
Intended to Support
- Auditory calm and low-stimulation sensory quieting
- Sound-sensitivity comfort-routine support
- Evening decompression when tinnitus-related stress increases
- Sleep preparation where tinnitus-related awareness interrupts rest
- Nervous-system downshift after noisy environments
- Carefully controlled background sound support without masking safety cues
- Participant-reported comfort, tolerability, sound sensitivity, and sleep-quality tracking
Medical Primacy And Hearing Safety Notice
Tinnitus and sound sensitivity can arise from many causes. This audio file does not replace evaluation by a qualified clinician, audiologist, ENT specialist, neurologist, emergency provider, or medication prescriber when appropriate.
- Use at low volume only. This file should never be loud enough to strain hearing or compete with tinnitus aggressively.
- Do not use headphones if they increase pressure, ringing, sound sensitivity, dizziness, or discomfort.
- Do not use while driving, walking in unsafe environments, bathing, using stairs, or operating equipment.
- Do not use to delay evaluation of sudden hearing loss, ear pain, drainage, severe dizziness/vertigo, head injury, neurologic symptoms, or rapidly worsening tinnitus.
- Keep volume low enough to hear safety cues, alarms, family, staff, and surroundings.
Use Schedule and TOUCH Identification
TOUCH duration - 20 minutes per session
Use window - Evening decompression, post-noise recovery, sound-sensitivity downshift, or sleep preparation
Standard use - 1 session daily during tinnitus/auditory-calm support periods
Optional daytime use - May use once earlier in the day after a noisy environment if not sedating and if safely seated/reclined
Optional second session - Only if well tolerated and separated by at least 6 hours
Weekly rhythm - 5 days per week for first 2 weeks; 5-7 days per week thereafter as tolerated
First 7 uses - Use this file alone as the primary neurologic/auditory file until tolerance is clear
Do not - Do not loop continuously; do not play overnight on repeat; do not use at high volume or to mask urgent symptoms
Combining With Other TOUCH Files
- Do not play two TOUCH files at the same time.
- For the first 7 uses, do not stack with Migraine, Brain Fog, Cognitive Clarity, Trauma, Deep Sleep, Autonomic Reset, or other Neurologic files. Stacking is described as moving immediately from one TOUCH to another without a pause.
- Morning or daytime Touch may be used on the same day only if separated by at least 6 hours and if sound sensitivity is not increased.
- If used in the evening, do not also use Deep Sleep unless this file was earlier, clearly tolerated, and separated by at least 6 hours.
- If tinnitus perception, sound sensitivity, ear pressure, dizziness, or head pressure increase, pause all QHS audio and return to medical guidance.
Stop / Pause And Medical Review Triggers
- Sudden hearing loss, new one-sided hearing change, sudden severe tinnitus, or rapidly worsening tinnitus.
- Ear pain, ear drainage, fever, head injury, severe dizziness/vertigo, fainting, sudden neurologic change, facial weakness, speech difficulty, or severe headache.
- Tinnitus with chest symptoms, severe blood pressure concern, medication reaction concern, or severe anxiety/panic.
