An evidence-based CBT guide for living well with persistent tinnitus and auditory problems.
'With real life examples to guide the reader and proven cognitive behavioural techniques, this will help people to overcome the distress associated with tinnitus and live a meaningful life'
Dr Rory Allott, Greater Manchester NHS Foundation Trust
Worldwide, about one billion people experience tinnitus at some point in their life. It is a life-changing experience for many of them. Learning effective management strategies in a timely fashion is the key to dealing with this difficult condition.
This book combines cutting-edge knowledge of auditory science and theoretical frameworks in modern psychology with insight and real-life, human examples from clinical practice. Packed with metaphors and practical tips, the authors aid understanding of complex concepts by introducing an accessible and entertaining cast of characters from history and fiction, from Beauty and the Beast to Moby Dick, from Dante to Muhammad Ali, and from Sigmund Freud to Rumi.
By following the advice in this book, you will:
Gain a realistic picture of what the recovery from tinnitus-related distress looks like
Learn how to go beyond the difficulties and annoyance caused by tinnitus and pay attention to the meanings behind those experiences
Develop skills that are proven to help on your journey.
Everything that you need to know about living well with tinnitus is presented in ten steps!
Living Well self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical.
Series Editors: Professor Kate Harvey and Emeritus Professor Peter Cooper

'A comprehensive "go to" resource for people dealing with problematic tinnitus. The book is filled with helpful metaphors and step-by-step exercises that will teach readers to eliminate behaviours that are maintaining the distress, think differently about the tinnitus and focus beyond the problem. Aazh & Moore are clearly experts in their fields' Maureen L Whittal, PhD, Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia, Co-Founder Anxiety Canada, Vancouver CBT Centre

'I can honestly say that if I had read this book before practicing over 40 years of tinnitus management, I would definitely have been a more effective therapist and clinician. In fact, if I were still practicing, this book would have become my go-to reference for treating patients and for dealing with my own personal challenges with tinnitus' Robert W. Sweetow, Professor Emeritus, Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, University of California, San Francisco
