The aim of this article is to show an established group therapeutic concept for chronic tinnitus. The treatment of chronic tinnitus is intended to improve the way patients cope with tinnitus but it does not eliminate it. It means that patients learn how to reduce the impairment they are experiencing. Patients with tinnitus are supported in the process of habituation through the treatment. Multimodal cognitive behavioral therapeutic interventions in a group setting are particularly helpful because they may demonstrate differences in the influence of cognitive processes on the emotional perception of the tinnitus between the patients. Psychological factors like emotional support through other patients and learning from other examples can ease the process of internalizing coping strategies. Psychological processes seem to be of particular importance. Those processes can have an effect on concentration, appraisal, and coping with the tinnitus. Progressive muscle relaxation using Jacobson's technique, physical therapy, education via lectures, training of selective attention and change of appraisal, mental attitude and behavior concerning the tinnitus are the main factors in tinnitus therapy and can enable tinnitus patients to decrease their psychological strain.
