This course will outline and describe three important topics clinicians should consider when helping patients who present with bothersome tinnitus: 1) a patient-centered approach that includes consideration for self-efficacy, 2) commonalities and efficacy of tinnitus management protocols and 3) the importance of amplification in mitigating tinnitus perception. This course is intended primarily for clinicians who do not specialize in the evaluation and management of tinnitus and who seek practical guidance on how to talk to patients with tinnitus.
