How does audio hypnotherapy differ from meditation?

While both audio hypnotherapy and meditation promote relaxation, they work in different ways. Meditation usually focuses on mindfulness - observing thoughts and sensations without judgment to cultivate calm and awareness.

Audio hypnotherapy, on the other hand, uses guided relaxation and positive suggestion to help the subconscious mind reframe patterns and responses. For tinnitus, meditation can make the sound feel less bothersome in the moment, but hypnotherapy actively retrains the brain to reduce awareness of the sound over time. In short, meditation helps you cope, while hypnotherapy helps create lasting change in how you experience tinnitus.
