One-hundred fourty-four patients suffering form tinnitus aged 19-74 years were treated with this TMT compared with a popular kind of problem solving group therapy.

Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy. 25. 79-82A manlike patient aged 52 years with an ear disease (otosclerosis) had symptoms that included tinnitus which caused him obvious physiological distress. The doctors found that the tinnitus that he had was stress-induced and had experienced attacks which seemed horribly unbearable. He was given ten sessions of a cognitive-behavioral therapy program and was tested ahead and after to find results. These results showed that the attacks became less frequent, easier to handle, and decreased annoyance, which in turn helped him cope better.Erlandsson, Soly I. 1998. Psychological counseling in a medical setting-some clinical exampl es given by patients with tinnitus and Meneires disease. International Journal for the Advancement of steering. 20 (4). 265-276.Counseling patients with Menieres disease showed that a defensive response to tinnitus or Menieres disease caused a state of dysfunction and that their mental adaption was hindered. Some of the patients found it difficult to even talk about the first attack that they experienced of the tinnitus and Menieres disease. The counselors reason that the reason these people are trying to find help is because they are afraid of suffering a mental breakdown. They dont think it has much to do with the physical disease, so specialists need to come at it from a psychological perspective.
