From the conference website: “This conference is intended for otologists, audiologists, psychologists, hearing aid specialists, and nurses who provide clinical management services for patients with tinnitus. The conference will also provide information to patients who have tinnitus, their family, and friends, but it will NOT include individual diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this conference is to provide a review of current evaluation and management strategies for the treatment of tinnitus. Upon completion of the program, the participant will be able to discuss the management of tinnitus and the tinnitus patient.” CEUs (continuing education credits) will be available.
Plus, congrats to Dr. Tyler for earning the Jerger Career Award for Research in Audiology from the American Academy of Audiology!
