What is Tinnitus Therapy?
Tinnitus Therapy is a form of therapy designed to decrease the attention a patient pays to their tinnitus, which aims to change a patient’s attitude to their tinnitus and minimise its impact on their life.
Tinnitus Therapy provides a supportive and non-judgemental environment so the patient can discuss their tinnitus and, guided by the therapist, develop an understanding of their tinnitus and techniques to change their thought processes, behaviours, and feelings related to it.
Personalised Approach
We recognise that everyone’s experience of tinnitus is different. Tinnitus is a complex condition which affects the emotional, attentional, and behavioural centres of the brain. Therefore each treatment plan for Tinnitus Therapy is tailored to you, integrating different therapeutic approaches from cognitive behavioural therapy, humanistic therapy, and more. This provides the best outcome for you to manage your tinnitus day-to-day.
Why Should I Try Tinnitus Therapy?
Tinnitus Therapy helps people with bothersome tinnitus improve their quality of life by decreasing the day-to-day stress their tinnitus causes and by reducing the attention they pay to it. Therapy will help you develop techniques to understand and reduce the attention you pay to your tinnitus. While you may still hear sounds, they may not impact your day-to-day life as much.
