about the specialist
Laima Matulionienė
Psychotherapist & Certified Tinnitus Retraining Specialist
For over 20 years I have worked in private psychotherapy practice, helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, and chronic distress. Tinnitus care became a central part of that work — because I saw how profoundly it disrupts not just hearing, but identity, sleep, and emotional wellbeing.
In My Own Words
Tinnitus affects not just the ear — but thoughts, emotions, and the entire nervous system.
I began specialising in tinnitus after witnessing how many of my psychotherapy clients were suffering — not only from the sound itself, but from the fear, hypervigilance, and identity loss that follow it. Standard medical pathways often left them without the psychological tools they most needed.
I trained under the Jastreboff Tinnitus Retraining Therapy model and deepened that foundation with cognitive behavioural therapy for health anxiety, mindfulness-based approaches, and psychodynamic methods for exploring the emotional roots that often sustain chronic distress.
What I have learned across two decades of clinical practice is this: tinnitus is not just an audiological problem. It lives in the relationship between sound, attention, and fear. When you change that relationship — systematically, compassionately, and with the right tools — the brain learns to reclassify the signal. Relief becomes possible.
The 8-Week Tinnitus Relief Course is the structured expression of everything I know to be effective. You will not be working through it alone. I will be with you at every step
