Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) Subscale: Intrusiveness


  • Title of study: What changes are reflected in the TFI Subscales as individuals progress through the CBT4T process?
  • Individual qualitative feedback and evaluations (and individual TFI results) can be viewed in Reviews

Note: Flexibility is built in to CBT4T so that every person uses the process at a pace that suits their own needs and responsibilities. This means that some individuals progress more quickly / more slowly through the Stages than others. View CBT4T Enrolment
