As we know, tinnitus effects approximately 25 million Americans, with 2 million experiencing debilitating tinnitus, yet there is still a need for audiologists to provide support to these individuals. This panel will discuss the patient centered delivery of evidence-based tinnitus evaluation, treatment, and counseling, both with and beyond a hearing aid, and how to expand access to care in a private practice setting.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the prevalence and need for improved access to tinnitus management services in the US
2. Describe the different levels/tiers of tinnitus evaluation and management that can be provided in a private practice setting
3. Describe the role of the case history, patient interview, and counseling in the tinnitus care delivery process
4. List the procedures, tools, and equipment required for the evidence based evaluation of tinnitus
