Abstract

Lo stato di emergenza che abbiamo vissuto e che stiamo ancora vivendo, insieme alle restrizioni che hanno modificato radicalmente le nostre abitudini e minato le nostre sicurezze ha impattato fortemente sulle nostre vite. E ha colpito in modo ancor più profondo le persone affette da acufene, una condizione che aumenta frequentemente in condizioni di stress. Per queste persone, l’isolamento sociale imposto dalle restrizioni da pandemia è una prova molto dura da affrontare che potrebbe esacerbare vissuti ansiosi o depressivi.
