This study aims to compare the effectiveness of smartphone-based counseling and face-to-face counseling in adults with chronic tinnitus. Both interventions are based on the same structured counseling protocol and are delivered over a six-week period. The primary research question is whether smartphone-based counseling can achieve clinical outcomes comparable to those of traditional face-to-face counseling in reducing tinnitus-related impact and associated symptoms.
