The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of 4-7-8 breathing exercise on tinnitus handicap, psychological factors and sleep quality. There will be a parallel-group randomized controlled trial study and consists of two groups. Both groups will receive 1 hour of informative session on tinnitus and the experimental group will also perform 4-7-8 breathing exercises for 6 weeks. Visual analog scale, tinnitus handicap inventory, insomnia severity index, trait anxiety inventory, and perceived stress scale will be applied before and after the application.
