Julian Cowan Hill, MA

Psychotherapist

Julian Cowan Hill developed tinnitus at 16 and struggled with it until he was 34, when it became extremely disruptive. He discovered craniosacral therapy through a family friend, which remarkably made his tinnitus quieter after just one session. This therapy caused a change in his tinnitus, making it quieter.  Inspired, Julian trained as a craniosacral therapist, and six months later, his tinnitus subsided for the first time in 33 years. He then started his practice in this field and experienced a profound awakening, tuning into subtle energetic movements within and around the body.

Tamara H.

Treble Health Graduate

Tamara’s experience with tinnitus is a story of resilience and discovery. After suddenly waking up with intense ringing in her ears, she was diagnosed with tinnitus and initially told by doctors that there was no cure. Unwilling to accept this, Tamara explored various treatments like acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage, particularly focusing on areas affected by her somatic tinnitus. Her breakthrough came from working with us at Treble Health, where cognitive behavioral therapy and sound therapy, especially using tinnitus maskers, significantly reduced her tinnitus from a near-debilitating level to a manageable intensity. Her journey, marked by mental focus, self-affirmation, and physical activity, is a testament to the importance of personalized care and the power of determination in overcoming tinnitus.

Eric A.

Treble Health Graduate

After developing tinnitus, Eric faced significant challenges, including sleep disruption and difficulties in his job and personal life. His journey to recovery began with conventional treatments like steroids and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which provided limited relief. He continued searching for help, and eventually found Treble Health. Eric began working with Dr. Sarah Mathews, and learned to effectively use sensory distraction techniques, sound therapy, and bone conduction headphones, which significantly reduced his tinnitus symptoms in less than a year. Today, Eric enjoys a life free from the fear of tinnitus, actively participating in activities he loves, serving as a beacon of hope and an inspiration to others facing similar challenges.
