This new book contains a definitive description and justification for the Jastreboff Neurophysiological model of tinnitus. The treatment for tinnitus developed by the authors from the model, Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) has already proved to be the most effective and most widely practiced treatment for tinnitus and decreased sound tolerance (hyperacusis and misophonia). The authors describe in detail the essentials of TRT and review the research literature justifying their claims, together with a critique of other current therapeutic practices.
The discovery by Jastreboff in the 1980s of the mechanisms by which tinnitus and decreased sound tolerance occur, has lead to this new and effective treatment. Audiologists, ENTs, psychologists and counselors around the world currently practice this technique, with success rates around 80%. The book is written for professionals, but is accessible to patients, who will be able to use the knowledge, together with their therapist, to achieve relief. There is an extensive glossary, and margin notes to help identify the most important and salient elements in the text.
Reviews:
If I had to list the books that have changed my life. This book is on the
top.
To anyone with Tinnitus, this book is a must read. I can not stress that enough.
It changes the way you think about tinnitus.
After many years of the "hell" that tinnitus can cause, this book
pretty much "cured" me. I don't really want to use that word because
it's not the way to think about this book or tinnitus. But I will say that if
you have tinnitus and it's a problem in your life, read this book.
I can only say this to all the people who suffer with tinnitus. I once suffered
from Tinnitus. I no longer do and my life is better because of this book.

'This book provides a comprehensive guide to Tinnitus retraining therapy … Not only does this book give a very detailed description of this type of therapy, it links the theory to clinical practice and offers practical advice for implementation … a text that is both rigorous and practical … Very readable Good value for money.' - British Society of Audiology News
'One of the nice things about being asked to review a book is that you get to keep a copy if it - and this is certainly a book well worth keeping. This is a thought-provoking and stimulating book for dipping into, for referring to, for speed-reading and for reading thoroughly from cover to cover. it will be a useful addition to the shelves of professionals who work with people with tinnitus. - Tinnitus Focus

Two new books on Tinnitus Retraining Therapy
by Henry, Trune, Robb and Jastreboff
Although tinnitus is a
common international problem, often clinicians find they are unsure of how to
treat their tinnitus patients. These two volumes are the first clinical
resources for clinicians to provide exact procedures for clinical administration
of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). The first volume (Clinical Guidelines)
is suitable both for clinicians who conduct TRT and as a textbook for academic
training programs. The second volume (Patient Counseling Guide)—designed
to be used one-on-one with tinnitus (and hyperacusis) patients—is a double-sided
resource with information for the clinician on one side and patient information
on the other. Anyone who is interested in providing tinnitus management with TRT
will find this pair of books immensely useful, practical, and resourceful.
