Learner Outcomes: Upon completion, each participant in the eAudiology Web seminar will be able to:

1. Describe how tinnitus impacts a person’s life and what their most important needs and challenges are.
2. Explain to patients how they can learn to live better lives with their tinnitus.

Description: 

Many hearing care professionals find it challenging to treat tinnitus patients, even though tinnitus is a common symptom. However, clinicians are sometimes the first to see tinnitus patients, therefore they need good counselling skills and the ability to apply a holistic approach to care. This module introduces three new tools to help hearing care professionals structure conversations with patients about their tinnitus, convey a message of hope and provide relevant counselling and coping strategies in appointments.
