CBT based Tinnitus Therapy Reno NV with Dr. Oren

If you’ve ever experienced that persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming in your ears that just won’t quit, you know how frustrating tinnitus can be. It can make focusing, relaxing, or even falling asleep feel like an uphill battle. But there’s good news: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven approach to help people manage the emotional and mental toll of tinnitus — and reclaim peace of mind.

What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and How Does It Work for Tinnitus? 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) isn’t about “curing” tinnitus but rather changing how your brain responds to it. Think of it like rewiring your mental relationship with the sound. Instead of letting it drive you up the wall, CBT helps reduce its impact so you can focus on living your life fully.

Here’s how it works:

  • Changing Thought Patterns
    Many people with tinnitus develop negative thoughts, like “This sound is going to ruin my life” or “I’ll never be able to relax again.” CBT helps you challenge and reframe these thoughts, reducing stress and frustration. 
  • Building Coping Strategies
    Through guided sessions, you learn relaxation techniques, mindfulness exercises, and practical tools to manage tinnitus-related anxiety. 
  • Reducing Emotional Reactions
    CBT helps desensitize your emotional response to tinnitus so that over time, the sound becomes less intrusive and bothersome. 

What the Science Says

Studies have shown that CBT can significantly reduce tinnitus-related distress, helping people feel less anxious and more in control. While the sound may still be present, most people report it fades into the background as they become less focused on it. 

Why Choose CBT for Tinnitus?

  • It addresses both the emotional and mental challenges of tinnitus. 
  • It empowers you with tools to regain control over your experience. 
  • The skills you learn can benefit other aspects of your mental health, too.
