Attention and listening training sensitizes you to the variety of sounds in our environment and teaches strategies for new listening behavior, for example in noise-enriched environments. By learning to stop \u201clistening inwardly\u201d and to turn attentively outward again, annoying noises are no longer perceived as strongly and disturbingly. Specifically, targeted exercises are used to train central auditory processing skills such as directional hearing, focusing and differentiation in noise with and without hearing aids with the goal of overhearing the tinnitus.<\/p>\n

Auditory discrimination training (ADT), which requires tinnitus patients to perform frequency discrimination exercises, also improves tinnitus distress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
