Here's a quick run-down of what the CBT for Tinnitus E-Programme does for you and how it does it
What it does for you:
- When tinnitus bothers you for 15 minutes every day, spend 15 minutes every day DOING something about it two and a half minutes at a time
- The average user starts out stating tinnitus bothers them 80% or more of their time awake
- The average user finishes the course stating tinnitus bothers them 10% or less of their time awake
- The 12 part process was specifically developed for you when you have tinnitus that is severe and very severe (a TFI over 54%) - you go as far in to the course as you need, at your own pace
- Completing the process as it is presented users of the CBT for Tinnitus E-Programme reach at least TFI category 2 (tinnitus is a small problem), including those starting with a TFI category 5 (tinnitus is a very big problem)
How it does it:
- The CBT for Tinnitus E-Programme is a structured process, each stage opening week by week
- The structured programme combines *one-to-one individual support (using Zoom, email, interactive logs and bespoke Reframing Cognition tools) with Internet-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (iCBT)
- There is a reason for everything used in the course being not only what it is but where it is in the process
- It combines neuro-psychotherapy and associated neuroscience, with behavioural and cognitive therapy woven in to the process
*Without one-to-one individual support, attrition is higher than 90% based on results for self-directed use (13 years from 2009-2022)
