Auditory rehabilitation for interaural asymmetry: preliminary evidence of improved dichotic listening performance following intensive training.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Persistent tinnitus affects 10 to 15% of adults. Little is understood about why only a small percentage of patients become severely affected. Catastrophic thinking has been suggested as one potentially relevant factor that might influence a patient's coping behavior, and thus tinnitus habituation. The current...
