Summary

Use of a therapeutic app for tinnitus that provides educational counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) results in substantial improvement in tinnitus-related distress, according to a study published in JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery . Koichiro Wasano, M.D., Ph.D., from the Tokai University School of Medicine in Japan, and colleagues developed a prototype digital therapeutic mobile app that provides educational counseling and CBT elements for treating chronic tinnitus symptoms. Safety and efficacy were assessed for 16 weeks in a double-blind, sham-controlled trial involving 60 patients diagnosed with mild-to-severe chronic tinnitus.
