This session provides a comprehensive review of contemporary tinnitus management strategies, bridging the gap between theoretical research and clinical application. It focuses on evidence-based interventions, including Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and sound amplification. Attendees will explore diagnostic protocols and personalized treatment planning to improve quality of life for patients with chronic tinnitus.

Outcome Objectives

Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Evaluate the efficacy of current therapeutic interventions for subjective tinnitus.

2. Implement multimodal management protocols tailored to individual patient profiles.

3. Apply effective counseling techniques to facilitate habituation and reduce tinnitus-related distress.

Background

Tinnitus is a prevalent condition that often causes significant psychological and functional impairment. Despite the lack of a universal cure, effective management is critical for mitigating patient distress. As our understanding of neuroplasticity and auditory processing evolves, clinicians must stay updated on the latest rehabilitative techniques to provide optimal care for this complex population.
