Tinnitus Retraining Therapy Benefits
Reduction in tinnitus symptoms
Tinnitus symptoms can get better. It is not a case of having tinnitus or not having it. Tinnitus comes in shades of great rather than just black or white. Tinnitus retraining therapy can help to reduce tinnitus symptoms.
Change your relationship with tinnitus
Changing your relationship will enable you to be less fearful of it turning problematic tinnitus into tinnitus that is no longer a problem. It will also take you out of the tinnitus fear loop which exasperates tinnitus symptoms.
Ability to relax
We all need to be able to relax whether you are experiencing tinnitus symptoms or not. Tinnitus retraining therapy can help you to relax with or without tinnitus.
Habituate to tinnitus
Tinnitus habituation means that you might experience tinnitus symptoms but when you do they are no longer bullying you like a tyrant. In many cases with the right help tinnitus symptoms disappear altogether.

"I am much calmer now and realise that tinnitus does not have to rule my life"

Tinnitus Retraining Therapy FAQ's
What to expect from a Tinnitus Retraining Therapy session?
Every Tinnitus Retraining Therapy Session is different depending on what the client brings. However we concentrate on the following difficulties. Your response to tinnitus in relation to your mind and body, related trauma, reducing tinnitus symptoms, practical steps you can take to help yourself, associated conditions and calming down the nervous system.
How long will Tinnitus Retraining therapy last?
Everybody is different with regard to making progress in relation to problematic tinnitus and attaining the goal of tinnitus habituation. Habituating to tinnitus takes practice. It is not a distant goal or a destination you arrive at one day in the future. You can habituate to tinnitus everyday in small ways before realising that tinnitus is no longer a problem. It could be likened to dipping a piece of linen into a dye. It might take several soakings to dye but eventually it will change colour.
