What to know

Cognitive behavioral therapy has stronger guideline support for persistent bothersome tinnitus than dietary supplements. CBT targets reactions, distress and coping rather than claiming to remove an underlying sound generator.

If tinnitus is persistent or disruptive, discuss hearing testing and evidence-based management options with a qualified professional. Explore the tinnitus hub for related topics.
