   Let's talk about…Tinnitus and can CBT really help?

   In this episode, Helen is joined by Colin Blowers, James Jackson, and Hashir Aazh for a thoughtful conversation about tinnitus and how cognitive behavioural therapy can help. The panel draws on professional expertise and lived experience to explore what tinnitus is, why it can become distressing, and the importance of getting it checked. The conversation focuses on how CBT can support people to change their relationship with tinnitus, reduce distress, break unhelpful cycles of attention and anxiety, and live a full and meaningful life even when tinnitus is present. Key themes include acceptance, habituation, flare-ups, and why learning to manage reactions to tinnitus, rather than trying to eliminate it, can make a real difference. This episode will be helpful for anyone experiencing tinnitus, supporting someone who is, or interested in how CBT can help people live well with long-term conditions.

Published 22 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Let's go against that. Shall we have some bit of fun and we're going to jump on the cracks on purpose? So you can do that in a kind of fun way of breaking the OCD rules, which I think helps OCD not encroach into extra areas of life and keep it a bit smaller. So that general approach of recognising, oh, where's that coming from? Why do we have to do that? Maybe we don't do that. Let's go against that, shall we? I think would be a The general approach that you might take if you're thinking maybe this is OCD. So, I mean, the way you just described that, it made it sound like there's elements of OCD that are almost like exaggerated superstitions. […]
