Abstract

Program Description:

A neurobiology for all clinical types of tinnitus is emerging reflecting advances in the basic science and neuroscience of brain and brain function and the cochleovestibular system. As tinnitus types begin to be objectively identified, treatment modalities can be applied in a more precise manner. The goal of this miniseminar is to examine new and existing tinnitus treatment specifically in reference to how to apply these techniques for the different tinnitus types. Surgery, intratympanic treatment, neuromodulation, and magnetic stimulation will all be examined, allowing the participants to understand the cutting edge of tinnitus therapy.

Educational Objectives:

(1) Cite the clinically applicable methods of tinnitus treatment. (2) Determine the rationale for selection of modality(ies) of treatment based on objective identification. (3) Describe the variety of tinnitus types that can now be diagnosed in an objective manner.
