Tinnitus and health anxiety.
Tinnitus is seen to be an intractable problem, frequently presenting with psychological concomitance. There appear to be no clear maintenance factors. This study attempts to clarify the role of health anxiety in tinnitus. There seems to be little difference between a control group and tinnitus patients, the only significant difference being preoccupation with bodily symptoms.
