Cognitive Behavior Therapy ( CBT) for Tinnitus Distress

Dr. Bruce Hubbard provides resources for tinnitus distress which affects about 16 million people in the United States. Tinnitus, commonly known as ringing in the ears, is an auditory condition that in one out of three cases triggers a persistent emotional reaction, highly related to anxiety, depression and insomnia, that ranges in severity from mild to disabling. Cognitivebehavior therapy (CBT) which has been under development for decades is the only evidencebased treatment for tinnitus distress. Dr. Hubbard provides an overview of CBT strategies, including acceptance and mindfulness, specifically for addressing this condition. Dr Hubbard is a clinical psychologist and educator in New York City who specializes in treating the emotional impact of tinnitus, sound sensitivity and hearing loss, using mindfulnessbased cognitivebehavior therapy.
