This book is a resource for anyone who wants a clear understanding of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT).
TRT, developed by Dr. Pawel Jastreboff, is based on how tinnitus is processed in the brain. Its overall purpose is to facilitate habituation-to stop reacting to the tinnitus and to not be aware of it most of the time.
Dr. James Henry has written
The Tinnitus Retraining Therapy Book: Walking You Through TRT
to be easily understood by the average person who has no prior knowledge of TRT. His previous book,
The Tinnitus Book: Understanding Tinnitus and How to Find Relief
, provides a detailed description of tinnitus and methods of treatment.
Dr. Henry spent 35 years studying tinnitus as a clinical researcher. He is one of the world's foremost experts on TRT (he was principal investigator for three TRT trials, author of numerous articles and two books about TRT, and he presented on TRT at national and international conferences, including professional training seminars).
In this book, you will learn:
Principles of TRT described in a reader-friendly way.
How TRT is provided in the clinic.
How TRT can reduce your reactions to and awareness of tinnitus.
The counseling used with TRT-word for word.
How to be an informed consumer about TRT.
