(She/Her) I’m a self-help strategist, author, and retired audiologist. I’ve lived with hyperacusis and tinnitus for over 40 years.
My award-winning tinnitus and hyperacusis treatment toolbox books share the message that “something can be done.”
I also enjoy writing horror fiction, and taking naps with my cats and rescue dog.
While I often share hyperacusis and tinnitus management examples for educational purposes, I am not affiliated with and do not endorse or recommend any particular approach, product, company, or coping tool. Find out more at About Jan L. Mayes.
My Books
Current Projects
For nonfiction, I’m working on new content for my website and YouTube channels including environmental noise pollution, coping tool reviews, and a series on how to evolve a tinnitus or hyperacusis toolbox over time using my own case as an example.
I’m sorry, but I can’t give specific audiological advice or recommendations for any individual tinnitus or hyperacusis case. Please follow-up with your care providers. Check out my curated list of Resources where I share mostly free science-based self-help strategies or therapies proven to help with tinnitus and hyperacusis remission, e.g. less bothersome, less loud, less sharp, less stress, better sleep.
For fiction, I’m writing the long requested vengeance chapter for Doctor Bell’s tinnitus terror tales. I’m also planning my first foray into zombies.
Contact Jan L. Mayes if you want to suggest a tool review, ask about her books, or have a question about building your tinnitus or hyperacusis coping toolbox.
If you are having a crisis needing urgent help, please contact your local emergency services.
