The efficacy of self-hypnosis (SH) on Tinnitus relief was compared with two control procedures: 1) presentation of a brief auditory stimulus (BAS) to the ear with Tinnitus; 2) waiting list (WL), i.e. patients receiving no formal treatment. The results have shown that 73% of Self Hypnosis subjects reported disappearance of Tinnitus during treatment sessions, as compared with only 24% in the BAS group. Moreover, the short-term (1 week) and long-term (2 months) symptom profiles of only Self Hypnosis subjects revealed a significant improvement. Thus, Self Hypnosis may well be a beneficial method for the relief of Tinnitus.
The Tinnitus Improvement Program available from this website is based on similar techniques, developed over 17 years experience of hypnosis and uses many self-hypnosis techniques.
