How I overcame Tinnitus and Hyperacusis
In 2024, I was diagnosed with tinnitus which completely turned my world upside down.
What started as this constant ringing in my ears quickly snowballed into something much more overwhelming—it wasn’t just about the sound anymore. My nervous system couldn’t handle it, and for months, I was in an incredibly dark place. It felt like everything was spinning out of control, and I wasn’t sure how I’d find my way back to feeling okay.
That’s when I was referred to the Specialist Doctor in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and Tinnitus Myotherapist, Kerrie at Melbourne Spinal and Sports Medicine Clinic, and honestly, it has been life-changing. From the moment I walked into their clinic, I knew I was in good hands. They didn’t just see me as a patient—they saw me as a person who was really struggling, and they genuinely cared about helping me.
Their approach is something truly special. It’s not just about dealing with the tinnitus itself; they understand how deeply it affects your whole being—your mind, your emotions, your nervous system. They work together to create a plan that is completely tailored to you, and they guide you through every step with so much patience and care.
I’ll be honest—the journey has not been quick or easy. But the progress I have made with them has been remarkable. They have helped me go from feeling trapped and hopeless to being able to enjoy most of my day-to-day life again. Things that once felt impossible now feel manageable. I am not fully out of the woods yet, but I can look back and see just how far I have come, and that’s thanks to them.
What makes the Specialist Doctor in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Tinnitus Myotherapist, Kerrie stand out is their humanity. They are not just experts in what they do—they are incredibly warm, encouraging, and compassionate. They took the time to really listen to me, to reassure me, and to help me rebuild my life in a way that felt safe and sustainable.
