#  What Do I Do With My Tinnitus Patient?

**Presentation Date:** 27 October 2021

**Duration:** 1:28:05

**Return to:** [AuDacity Archive](https://www.audiologist.org/audacity-archive)

Tinnitus is an unavoidable condition in an audiology practice. While every audiologist does not need to be an expert in tinnitus care, every audiology practice can benefit from recognizing tinnitus presentation and making appropriate referrals to help adult and pediatric patients with tinnitus. This course will provide participants with the necessary concepts and tools to recognize tinnitus, uncover what the patient is experiencing and determine the appropriate referral to an outside provider. While this course will not teach participants to diagnose and care for patients with tinnitus, those wishing to engage in higher-level tinnitus care will find this course helpful in beginning to identify and triage various types of tinnitus.

**Speakers:** John Coverstone, Au.D.; Emily McMahan, Au.D.
