Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Effective for Tinnitus?

Cognitive behavioral therapy is an effective treatment option for individuals with bothersome tinnitus, particularly for those with high levels of tinnitus distress and anxiety. In addition to individualized, in‐person CBT, both group‐ and internet‐based options can be equally successful, while simultaneously improving access and increasing cost‐effectiveness. Future, prospective trials evaluating predictors of treatment success and durability of therapeutic responses are needed.
