Disabling tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ear) is a condition experienced by at least 1-2% of the population. Since medical and technical treatments are only partly successful, several psychological treatment approaches have been applied in the treatment of tinnitus. This article reviews 38 studies on hypnosis, biofeedback, and cognitive-behavioral approaches together with relaxation techniques. It is concluded that relaxation training together with cognitive-behavioral coping techniques is the method which so far has received the most empirical support. Still, more research is needed on the effects of psychological treatment. Finally, five recommendations are made regarding the treatment of tinnitus patients.
耳鸣(耳内嗡嗡响或鸣响)的消除是至少 1-2%的人群所经历的一种状况。由于医疗和技术治疗的效果仅部分成功,因此已经应用了几种心理治疗方法来治疗耳鸣。本文综述了催眠、生物反馈和认知行为方法以及放松技术的 38 项研究。结论是,到目前为止,放松训练与认知行为应对技术相结合是获得最多实证支持的方法。然而,仍需要对心理治疗的效果进行更多的研究。最后,就耳鸣患者的治疗提出了五条建议。
