Introduction & Theoretical Background
Many people hear sounds that others cannot, or are capable of attending to self-generated (or physiological) noise. However, only a minority of the population experience disturbing tinnitus. One reason for this is thought to be the threat-based cognitions that tinnitus sufferers have around their experiences. Meaning in tinnitus is a worksheet for examining the effect of cognition upon affect, specifically looking at cognitions which make tinnitus so distressing.
