Book Reviews of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy: Implementing the Neurophysiological Model
Book Review: The Best Book On Tinnitus So Far - A Must Read
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally, a scientific book on Tinnitus which makes perfect sense!
I'm suffering from Tinnitus since about two years. I've visited several ENTs and I've tried acupuncture, electrical stimulation and different kinds of medication to no success. This book is a true gem - I only wish I had read it sooner, and that my ENT doctors knew about a quarter of it (it puzzles me how they can be so ignorant about such an important condition).
The neurophysiological model described by Dr. Jastreboff and Dr. Hazell is very logical and sound, it explains the mechanisms that trigger and sustain the phantom tinnnitus sound, and it stands the known scientific tests and scenarios. The book also describes TRT, a method developed by one of the authors of the book and the best known method for treating Tinnitus. TRT does not explicitly address the source of the sound - which is not possible as of today, but rather the perception and the reaction to the sound in the limbic and autonomic nervous systems. TRT has a proven success rate of 80% and it combines counseling and sound therapy. Although TRT can take quite some time (12 to 18 months), no medication at all and no special diet is needed.
This book, is quite scientific (and I must say quite fascinating) but I think the most important points can be understood by a lay person. I've previously read the book Tinnitus, Turning the Volume Down: Proven Strategies for Quieting the Noise in Your Head, but it relied too much on medication and it was very pragmatic - without any type of scientific validation.
I wish I lived in London, Atlanta and Baltimore so that I could be treated by one of the authors of the book. Not only they are smart, but as they write in the book, they care deeply about their patients.
If you suffer from Tinnitus, if you know somebody who is suffering from it or if you just want to learn more about it, this is the book to read. Highly recommended!
Summary of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy: Implementing the Neurophysiological Model
Tinnitus and oversensitivity to sound are common and hitherto incurable, distressing conditions that affect a substantial number of the population. Pawel Jastreboff's discovery of the mechanisms by which tinnitus and decreased sound tolerance occur has led to a new and effective treatment called Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). Audiologists, ENT specialists, psychologists and counsellors around the world currently practise this technique, with very high success rates. TRT, the treatment developed by the authors from the model, has already proved to be the most effective and most widely practised worldwide. This book presents a definitive description and justification for the Jastreboff neurophysiological model of tinnitus, outlining the essentials of TRT, reviewing the research literature justifying their claims, and providing an expert critique of other therapeutic practices.Audiology & Speech Pathology Books
