[Solved] Triptherapie for Tinnitus

At Triptherapie, we occasionally get the question whether a psilocybin session or truffle ceremony can help with tinnitus. It can indeed have an influence on how you experience tinnitus, but it is difficult to predict in advance in which direction that will go. We therefore do not view it as a proven solution for tinnitus itself, but rather as something that, in some cases, can influence the experience, the stress response, and the extent to which the sound is prominent.

In practice, roughly three scenarios have occurred with us.

1. The tinnitus had almost or completely faded into the background both during and after the trip.
2. The tinnitus was gone or much less present during the trip, but returned to its old level in the weeks afterward.
3. The tinnitus was temporarily slightly more noticeable, after which it normalized back to the old level within a few days.

These three scenarios clearly demonstrate why we must be cautious with predictions. Some people experience more calm, less tension, and less focus on the sound during a session. Especially if stress plays a significant role in tinnitus, this can make the ringing in the ears feel less burdensome. At the same time, a psychedelic experience can also lead to increased sensitivity to stimuli or more attention to what is happening in the body and mind. In that case, tinnitus may temporarily appear more prominent.

Therefore, at Triptherapie, we would never say that a course of trip therapy cures tinnitus. What we can say, however, is that some people deal with it differently temporarily or sometimes for a longer period, while others notice little change or experience a short-term increase in awareness. The outcome thus appears to be highly personal. 

We do, however, see an improvement in quality of life more often when stress, tension, worrying, and poor sleep have the greatest influence on how tinnitus is experienced, because a session in such cases can sometimes contribute to more calm, relaxation, and a different perception of the ringing in the ears. So, if you think the above triggers are causing significant symptoms, it might be worth trying Triptherapie.
