Tinnitus: A Self Management Guide for the Ringing in Your Ears provides a comprehensive self-help program to managing tinnitus ("ringing in the ears") and related difficulties (e.g. low mood, stress, anxiety, poor sleep). The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive self-help program for people with tinnitus ("ringing in the ears"). The book provides a resource integrating educational materials with pragmatic information on how to effectively implement a tailor-made approach to managing tinnitus. It consists of up-to-date coverage of a range of psychological techniques as well as step-by-step instruction in each of the specific techniques to assist the reader in designing and implementing a program to manage their tinnitus and associated difficulties. These techniques, when practiced daily, will change the way a person thinks about and responds to their tinnitus, and, in time, the tinnitus will be perceived to be less of a problem.

Tinnitus once believed to be incurable by most people is actually treatable. Seventy percent of people who suffer can usually be helped, some dramatically, by a wide variety of treatment options. The biggest barrier to tinnitus treatment is lack of knowledge. As a result, Dr.Tyler has invited leaders from around the world on the cutting edge of tinnitus research to present their knowledge and cross that barrier to help you find answers. These include physicians, psychologists, and audiologists writing from experience in their specialty area of tinnitus. Reading this book is like sitting down with experts and gaining their wisdom from decades of practice and research. Reactions to tinnitus is complex, but this book explains these challenges simply--supported by drawings.

Tinnitus and oversensitivity to sound are common and hitherto incurable, distressing conditions that affect a substantial number of the population. Pawel Jastreboff's discovery of the mechanisms by which tinnitus and decreased sound tolerance occur has led to a new and effective treatment called Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). Audiologists, ENT specialists, psychologists and counsellors around the world currently practise this technique, with very high success rates. TRT, the treatment developed by the authors from the model, has already proved to be the most effective and most widely practised worldwide. This book presents a definitive description and justification for the Jastreboff neurophysiological model of tinnitus, outlining the essentials of TRT, reviewing the research literature justifying their claims, and providing an expert critique of other therapeutic practices.

Groundbreaking, comprehensive, and developed by a panel of leading international experts in the field, Textbook of Tinnitus provides a multidisciplinary overview of the diagnosis and management of this widespread and troubling disorder. Importantly, the book emphasizes that tinnitus is not one disease but a group of rather diverse disorders with different pathophysiology, different causes and, consequently, different treatments. This comprehensive title is written for clinicians and researchers by clinicians and researchers who are active in the field. It is logically organized in six sections and will be of interest to otolaryngologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, primary care clinicians, audiologists and psychologists. Textbook of Tinnitus describes both the theoretical background of the different forms of tinnitus and it provides detailed knowledge of the state-of-the-art of its treatment. Because of its organization and its extensive subject index, Textbook of Tinnitus can also serve as a reference for clinicians who do not treat tinnitus patients routinely.

Tinnitus, noises in the ear, and hyperacusis, acute sensitivity to sound, can have serious effects, ranging from insomnia and irritability, to loss of concentration and social withdrawal. But, prospects for recovery have never been better. Living with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis, written by three leaders in the field of audiology, presents the latest medical thinking and treatments, including sound therapy, and suggests effective self-help techniques based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Topics include relaxation therapy; getting a good night's sleep; avoiding relapse; and helping adults and children with these hearing disorders.

The term ‘tinnitus’ is searched over 110,000+ times every month. Unfortunately, much of the information readily available through internet searches is inaccurate, whereas most evidence-based information is only available through peer-reviewed journal articles often containing dense scientific jargon. Tinnitus: Advances in Prevention, Assessment, and Management aims to bridge this gap by providing up-to-date and evidence-based information on tinnitus prevention, assessment, and management. Presented in a quick, easy-to-read format, this text offers a practical and handy resource for busy practitioners and health profession students, as well as individuals with bothersome tinnitus. Each section contains short chapters providing accessible overviews of research related to tinnitus and hyperacusis. Section I delves into various approaches for prevention of hearing loss and tinnitus. Section II covers tinnitus assessment, while Section III introduces readers to a range of tinnitus management solutions. Section IV focuses solely on recent advances in assessment and management of hyperacusis and other disorders of decreased sound tolerance. Authors of Section V review recent tinnitus-related developments, including social media use and COVID-19. The final section consists of interesting real-life case studies involving patients with bothersome tinnitus. Key Features: * Interesting real-life tinnitus-related case studies puts new research into context * More than 50 illustrations and tables help clarify and expand on key concepts covered throughout the text, enabling clinicians and students to more easily understand and apply complex material * Each chapter opens with a brief introduction and background on a tinnitus-related topic, followed by up-to-date, evidence-based, peer-reviewed research on the topic * All chapters contain ideas for future research on the topic as well as clinical implications of the research * Chapters end with key messages and references for further review of the topic * Audio samples included for Chapter 20
