Non-Invasive Neurofeedback Training to Alleviate Tinnitus Distress

Intervention via neurofeedback has shown promising results for many neurologicaldisorders including schizophrenia, post‐traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, anxiety andmajor depressive disorder, with benefits lasting over several weeks after the completionof training ; neurofeedback‐guided training has led to participants successfully alteractivity in brain regions that mediate emotional response, mood and cognitive control.Because these brain regions and functions are also implicated in bothersome tinnitus,real‐time neurofeedback training based on ongoing activity in these targets canpotentially improve the psychological distress associated with tinnitus severity.Real‐time neurofeedback can provide a valuable training tool for coping withtinnitus‐related distress and help underpin the development of intervention‐basedtreatments.
