Professional statement

Laura Mackner is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience specializing in chronic health conditions. While working at the OSU Speech and Hearing Clinic, she saw the impact tinnitus can have on every aspect of life, and how frustrating the search for tinnitus treatment can be. People who see her often have questions about how a psychologist can help the ringing in their ears.

The goal of tinnitus treatment is habituation, and Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to give you tools to promote habituation and calm your tinnitus. Scientific studies have shown that CBT changes brain structure and function through neuroplasticity. Laura meets you where you are in your tinnitus journey and partners with you for a specialized treatment approach.

You can find more information about CBT, tinnitus, and Laura on her website (see Work and Education section below).


Message to clients

Welcome, I’m glad you found my profile. Sometimes CBT for tinnitus is presented as simply changing your thinking or changing your behavior. Sometimes that works for some people and their tinnitus. Your tinnitus might respond best to different CBT tools, tailored to your particular situation. Over 40 clinical trial studies that included over 3,500 people have shown that a variety of CBT tools work for a lot of different people with tinnitus. There is hope that it will get better. We can work together to calm your tinnitus.
