Yes, it is perfectly possible to help the mind ignore the sounds from tinnitus and focus elsewhere. This is especially the case with people who suffer from anxiety-related tinnitus. When you have anxiety there is a tendency to focus inwardly and to be hypervigilant listening out for noise. Hypnotherapy or CBT can help the brain to relax and stay calm as well as address and root causes of the problem. Other therapies such as tinnitus retraining therapy can also help to change how you listen to the noise in your ears.
