\nTinnitus can be a terrible affliction, both for the individual, and also for friends and family, \nand many people with tinnitus are currently left to fend for themselves. \nDespite this, prospects for recovery have never been better, based on recent advances in \npsychology, auditory neuroscience and medicine. Tinnitus (colloquially known as ringing in \nthe ears) is common, affecting some five percent of people. Hyperacusis, or \nhypersensitivity of hearing, is commonly associated with troublesome tinnitus. However, \nthese basic definitions give no idea of the individual, even idiosyncratic nature of both \ndisorders, which can be profoundly affected by someone's personality and psychological \nstate.

It features \nthe latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience and medicine to offer a full \noverview of the causes, impact, and most effective treatments available. It has practical \nadvice on relaxation and sound therapy as well as insights into relieving the stress of \ntinnitus and hyperacusis. It also contains advice on misophonia and related disorders.
