Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. According to Oto’s Provider Best Practices, which question is recommended to ask to determine if a patient’s tinnitus is bothersome and if they are a candidate for CBT? “Can you describe a recent situation when your tinnitus changed what you did or how you felt?” “Over the past month, how often has your tinnitus prevented you from participating in activities you value?” “When your tinnitus is bad, what emotion do you feel?" “On a scale from 1-10, how severely would you rate your tinnitus?”
2. Which statement best describes the tinnitus reaction cycle that clinicians should explain to patients? Tinnitus distress increases primarily because the perceived loudness of the sound grows over time; therefore clinicians should focus mainly on sound-reduction strategies. The sound triggers worry and attention, which increases distress and makes the sound feel louder — a self-reinforcing loop (the reaction cycle). The reaction cycle is driven mainly by maladaptive beliefs and avoidance; changing beliefs through education alone is generally sufficient to break the cycle. The cycle implies patients should try to suppress noticing the sound entirely — forcing themselves not to pay attention will lead to habituation.
3. In Oto’s real-world compliance snapshot, how was “compliance” defined for the first week? Completing the app’s core onboarding modules (the first set of chapters) within the first week. Accumulating ≥30 minutes of total therapy time during the first week. Completing more than 5 therapy sessions in the first week (i.e., at least 6 sessions). Completing 7 therapy sessions and beginning the sleep course in the first week.
4. Which combination of criteria best matches Oto’s patient eligibility for the program? Persistent tinnitus lasting more than 6 months and tinnitus that is bothersome — the patient reports a negative emotional impact (e.g., sadness or anxiety) when the tinnitus is bad). Any patient who reports functional impact (for example, disturbed sleep or activity avoidance), regardless of date of onset. Tinnitus present 1 month with a clinically meaningful TFI/THI score. Tinnitus present>6 months but the patient reports only occasional irritation without a clear emotional reaction.
5. A clinic offers the Oto Tinnitus Education Course as part of its tinnitus package. Which statement best describes the intended content and purpose of that course? A 4-hour live webinar designed primarily as an advanced clinician training module covering CBT techniques, fNIRS research, and methods to integrate Oto into clinical trials. A self-paced, on-demand collection of short videos focused mainly on sleep hygiene and relaxation techniques to supplement in-app CBT content. A blended program that replaces scheduled provider follow-ups by delivering group therapy and individual counselling online, removing the need for in-clinic 4-week and 12-week reviews. A live, four-session, patient-facing education program that explains the science of why tinnitus occurs, the factors that influence symptoms, and evidence-based management options.
