[Tara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent tone and information. The author is knowledgeable and compassionate. No symptom is downplayed but rather each is treated to the same importance. Some of us are bothered by something that seems trivial to someone else. This is okay and the author helps us see that. Many coping mechanisms, possible solutions, and thoughtful exercises are included throughout the book. Worth multiple reads and a space on your shelf with your reference books to revisit and reevaluate.

This was the only book on Tinnitus at my local library. I liked it enough but was not interested in taking the plethora of self-assessments.
