Deaf/Hard of Hearing

that treatment failures in general--no matter the medical issue-- quite often result in a "blame the patient" conclusion. Whether or not this is fair, accurate, or even relevant in the treatment of tinnitus, I'm not prepared to say, but that was my first impression after a quick perusal of the article.

I do not know how this is helpful to patients. If true, it seems to suggest the need for a psychological referral for the majority of these patients---just as we all too often do for chronic or neurologic pain (especially among those practitioners who really do not understand the full spectrum of pain and their origins/different pathogenesis).

Maybe this approach will be validated, but this leaves me a bit disquieted and thinking oh, no, not again...
