Abstract
This case report describes a patient who exhibited the usual complaints of frustration, annoyance, and lack of sleep associated with severe tinnitus. After 2 months of weekly biofeedback sessions along with home training with a portable thermal biofeedback unit, the patient was relieved of the psychological symptoms associated with the tinnitus. A 1-year follow-up demonstrated that the patient remained complaint-free of psychological symptoms although the subjective loudness of the rining was judged to be the same as at the onset of the tinnitus. The results indicate that biofeedback is a useful procedure in the treatment of severe tinnitus.Keywords
