Careful Thinking

When used correctly, mindfulness is more than a relaxation strategy. Mindfulness helps us accept and coexist with tinnitus, to hear the sounds without getting swept up in the distress reaction, and to redirect our attention on the process to the hard work of moving on.

There is no need to spend thousands of dollars on sound therapy. You’ll learn to use sound enrichment to help with tinnitus as needed through low cost streaming devices and freely available sounds.

Take Courageous Action to Fully Rejoin Your Life

Your new coping skills put into service toward your goal of resuming all of the valued activities lost to tinnitus, to achieve full tinnitus relief, to feel and function like yourself again.

Course FAQ

  • CBT is a family of evidence-based therapies proven to promote relief from tinnitus. It consists of practical concepts and skills to reduce distress, improve sleep, concentration, and the ability to let go and relax, and promote tinnitus habituation. Skills involve how we think, act, and pay attention in relation to tinnitus. CBT focuses not on tinnitus, but how we respond to tinnitus. Our tinnitus doesn't change, but we can expect the emotional reaction and attention to tinnitus to go down. Tinnitus is less of a burden and our lives again become the priority.

  • While many treatments promise tinnitus relief, CBT is the only proven approach, with over a dozen well-controlled clinical trials showing it helps. CBT is the only tinnitus treatment recommended by the American Academy of Otolaryngologists (ENTs; the AAO-HNS). 

  • If you're struggling with tinnitus and its impact on your daily life, this program is designed for you. Whether your tinnitus is mild or severe, recent or long-term, CBT provides effective tools and strategies for relief.

  • Many people come to this program disappointed with other tinnitus treatments, including Lenire, Neosensory and TRT. CBT offers a very different approach to tinnitus. Instead of passively waiting for your response to tinnitus to change, CBT empowers you with the skills needed to gain control over your response to tinnitus, and to refocus on fully rejoining your life.
