Demystifying Tinnitus

South Africa · CPD points & talks · Psychologists

Tinnitus is more than just a physical symptom—it is a complex, multifactorial experience shaped by auditory input, cognitive processing, and psychological factors. In this informative talk, Lara—an experienced audiologist—unpacks how tinnitus persists through the interaction between neurophysiology and psychological traits, including anxiety, personality style, and cognitive focus.

This presentation demystifies the tinnitus experience and outlines a practical, integrative management framework. Psychologists will gain insight into the brain’s role in tinnitus perception and learn evidence-informed approaches to help clients manage and reduce distress associated with chronic tinnitus.
