Tinnitus is a commonly seen and difficult to cure symptom of ear disease. This case study describes an example of cognitive-behavioural treatment for tinnitus. The patient was a 66-year-old woman with prior medical and psychiatric history. Cognitive-behavioural assessment revealed that her thoughts about the cause of her tinnitus made her focus on it and experience annoyance. The aim of treatment was to decrease the annoyance associated with the tinnitus and consisted of applied relaxation and cognitive distraction techniques. Daily registrations of tinnitus distress and annoyance, and general well-being were collected at pretreatment, mid-treatment and post-treatment on visual analogue scales. No clear effects were found on these measures, although loudness showed a slight tendency to decrease. The patient also completed a questionnaire at pretreatment and post-treatment on which no benefits were found. Verbal report and an in-session behavioural test showed positive effects of treatment, but were not mirrored in the self-reported results. The importance of reporting treatment failures is emphasized. |
