"New App Alleviates Tinnitus Distress"
A new app called MindEar delivers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people cope with tinnitus, a condition characterized by persistent ringing in the ears. A small study found that participants using the app experienced a reduction in distress related to tinnitus, with or without additional sessions with a psychologist. While the app doesn't change the perception of the ringing, it helps users relax, maintain control, and sleep better. The study's limitations include its small size and the need for further research, but the app shows potential for making CBT more accessible to those affected by tinnitus.
