Overview |
|
|
Psychological consultation can often be beneficial. Interviews show that in most cases stress, internal apprehension, subconscious conflicts, problems with spouse or partners or a mild depression were at the onset of tinnitus - not implying such were causative, but certainly contributing factors. A psychologist can help uncover the proper context. Group therapy can also be helpful, as it provides opportunities to share experiences with other "people in the same boat as you".
As tinnitus always has a stress component, relaxation exercises are highly recommended. Relaxation methods will help in stress management, build strength for every-day strains and improve your quality of life. An active hearing training program will enable you to focus on environmental sounds and stop paying attention to the tinnitus.
