Abstract

Efficacy of self hypnosis for tinnitus relief. Attias, J., Shemesh, Z., Shoham, Ch., Shahar, A. and Sohmer, H. (Institute for Noise Hazards Research and Evoked Potentials Laboratory. and the Department of Psychiatry, Chaim Sheba Medical Centre Ramat-Gan, and the Department of Physiology, Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem. Israel). Stand Audiol 1990; 19:245-249. The efficacy of self-hypnosis (SH) on tinnitus relief was compared with two control procedures: I) presentation of a brief auditory stimulus (BAS) to the car with tinnitus; 2) waiting list (WL), i.e. patients receiving no formal treatment. The results have shown that 73% of SH subjects reported disappearance of tinnitus during treatment sessions, as compared with only 24% in the BAS group. Moreover, the short-term (I week) and long-term (2 months) symptom profiles of only SH subject: revealed a significant improvement. Thus. SH may well be a beneficial method for the relief of tinnitus.
