Somatic Tracking for Tinnitus
Sponsor: University College London Hospitals
Summary
We are examining the effect of mindfulness meditation on attitudes towards tinnitus, as well as physical and psychological distress associated with the condition. The meditation is designed to promote neuroplasticity, fostering new neural connections to help you reinterpret tinnitus through a lens of safety and reduce the perception of threat. This approach integrates several techniques from various psychological therapies which have been promising in reducing tinnitusrelated distress. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to see whether a guided mindfulness meditation intervention is effective in improving the acceptance of tinnitus symptoms, as well as reducing tinnitus-related distress in people living with tinnitus.

Mindfulness Meditation
Somatic tracking is one aspect of most mindfulness meditation protocols, involving paying attention to the present non-judgementally, and focusing on breath and bodily sensations (e.g., sounds in the case tinnitus). This study employs this approach as a standalone intervention, in the form of a guided meditation recording.
