Tinnire – to ring. Tinnitus - ringing in the ear.

  • Tinnire – to ring. Tinnitus - ringing in the ear.

  • perception of sound in absence of stimulation /no external acoustic source.

  • A Conscious experience of a sound that originates in the head of the owner.

  • hissing, sizzling and buzzing, pulsatile

  • can be persistent, intermittent, or throbbing.

  • aim- to modify harmful behaviours & thoughts using “deconditioning” technique

  • reduces arousal levels via relaxation therapy &changing –ve thoughts through cognitive therapy.

  • Goebel et al 20 confirm the long-term benefits of CBT for tinnitus.



Based on neurophysiological model.

  • Based on neurophysiological model.

  • Conditioned reflexes involving connections of auditory with limbic & ANS are retrained such that the subconscious part of auditory pathway blocks the tinnitus signal.

  • Acoustic input with unimportant information is ignored(habituation)

  • Inducing & sustaining habituation of conditioned reflexes removes –ve impact of tinnitus



Goal-train CNS to interpret tinnitus as unimportant & ignore it.

  • Goal-train CNS to interpret tinnitus as unimportant & ignore it.

  • Has 2 components:-

  • -intensive direct counselling.

  • -sound therapy using sound generators which emit low level broad band noise.

  • Not masking-cant habituate a signal that cannot be detected.

  • Jastreboff 21 reported success in over 80% of his cases.



control or habituate to the perceived ringing and the subsequent distress.

  • control or habituate to the perceived ringing and the subsequent distress.

  •  Biofeedback therapy-listens to audio signal from EMG of frontalis muscle

  • reduces perceived ringing &muscle tension

  • strategies to self-manage their tinnitus.

  • Relaxation therapies -focus pt’s attention away from the sound;psychologically improving symptoms.



PET /fMRI help in research into the mechanisms and hence treatment of tinnitus.

  • PET /fMRI help in research into the mechanisms and hence treatment of tinnitus.

  • Transcranial DC Stimulation(tDCS)
