  Most clinicians have little experience with tinnitus treatments, and are
  unsure of how to help a patient suffering from the condition. Filling a
  significant gap in literature, this book offers a variety of in-depth protocols
  to treat tinnitus. Beginning with a review of several neurophysiological and
  psychological models of tinnitus, the book goes on to cover evaluation tools;
  counseling options and methods; treatment with hearing aids, wearable and
  non-wearable noise generators, and music; tinnitus-related insomnia;
  quality-of-life issues; and much more. Highly experienced clinicians give you
  the practical strategies to apply such therapeutic modalities as
  cognitive-behavioral therapy, individual and group sessions, sound therapy,
  habituation therapy, and narrative therapy. You will also find sample handouts
  to allow for effective communication with patients. With key clinical
  information for implementing all current therapies, this text is an essential
  professional tool for audiologists, psychologists, and other practitioners
  involved in managing otologic disorders.
