People with tinnitus will use a smartpphone app in which they are instructed to reject maladaptive thoughts by throwing them away from themselves (upwards) and embrace supportive thoughts by pulling them towards themselves (downwards). The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory will be used to measure the effect of the application.
