Tinnitus - Riktig fokus

The app is developed based on experiences from rehabilitation at HLF Briskeby.

HLF Briskeby rehabilitation and outbound services as offers various services in the field of hearing. Offers for people with tinnitus or Menieres are given in the form of rehabilitation stays and adaptation courses.

The rehabilitation program is based on the neurophysiological and cognitive model and follows the principles of the TRT method (Tinnitus retraining therapy) where focused relaxation is a red thread throughout the course.

Tinnitus sound can be so overwhelming that it interferes with the focus of everyday situations, socially and professionally, and many therefore struggle to concentrate. The tinnitus sound can take so much attention that it causes difficulty in concentrating, memory loss and fatigue.

focusing Exercises

With focus training, you practice the ability to control awareness with awareness and will. When you learn to focus on what you want, tinnitus ends up in the background - and the negative impact

tinnitus may have on the concentration reduced.

You can control your attention by moving it between different sound impressions.

The goal is not to ever notice tinnitus, but to use awareness and willingness to shift focus between different impressions. Thus, you can better focus on work tasks, background sound, positive thoughts - and what's happening around you - rather than on the tinnitus sound.

relaxation exercises

The main purpose of focused relaxation exercise is to bring down the stress level, because stress has been shown to adversely affect tinnitus sound.

The goal is to get a relaxation effect that you can use when you feel that the tinnitus sound goes up because of the increased stress level.

The exercises can also be used in conjunction with sleep, to ease sleep, as well as prevention of increased stress.
