    Changing Your Perception of or Reaction to (External) Sounds

    Hi all People are telling me that if I retrain my perception, not of tinnitus, but of outside sounds and how they affect me, they will affect me differently. This is part of the basic retraining/TRT model I suppose. I.e. I have found that certain sounds affect tinnitus levels. I am told that...
