Has previous research been done?
There have been numerous studies focusing on using Tackling Tinnitus. Tinnitus professionals have viewed the programme and gave it high ratings for the content, presentation and its suitability for those with tinnitus. Subsequent studies found that this programme is able to reduce the impact of tinnitus and the effects of associated problems such as sleep difficulties. It has shown that the effects generally only start becoming evident after about 6 weeks of doing the programme and these effects are maintained after completing the programme.

I don’t feel alone and that there is something I can do about the tinnitus, not just having to accept it. Thank you!”
“Thanks so much to you and the team, it is so great to be doing something positive and taking control rather than just grinning and bearing my tinnitus which I had been doing until now. I now have tools so that tinnitus does not have such a big impact anymore.”
“ I am a much more relaxed person, it’s brilliant. It is a marvellous programme, very well put together. It is very beneficial for chronic anxiety and depression as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and benefited immensely.”
“I have had an attitude change and view tinnitus from a different perspective. I am in control and am able to embrace it and not just cope with it. I am now able to deal with tinnitus in a positive way.”
“It’s been fantastic. I have control, 180 mind shift. I had tinnitus for so many years and just put a lid on it. So many aspects have been new to me.”
