Tinnitus continues to challenge clinicians with its diverse presentations and often complex etiology. As our understanding of tinnitus evolves, audiologists must be equipped with diagnostic precision, therapeutic agility, and patient-centered strategies. This three-hour workshop is designed for clinicians seeking to sharpen their skills and integrate the latest science into practice.

Participants will explore current theories on tinnitus generation and persistence—spanning the auditory, somatosensory, and limbic systems—while gaining insight into advanced diagnostic techniques and up-to-date tinnitus management strategies.

Through interactive case studies, attendees will refine their ability to tailor care based on tinnitus subtype, distress level, and comorbid factors. Bring your questions and interesting cases so we can walk through them together. Emphasis will also be placed on building an effective care plan, including referrals when appropriate to optimize outcomes.

**Attendees will be able to:**

- Identify tinnitus etiologies and subtypes
- Describe a range of diagnostic methods and testing protocols that can be used to guide treatment decisions
- Describe evidence-based tinnitus management strategies and when they are appropriate
- Identify situations that warrant referral for advanced tinnitus treatment
- Demonstrate how to communicate findings effectively during collaborative care
