My Trajectory to Tinnitus Care
As an AuD student who envisioned a traditional career path, I anticipated a routine filled with hearing assessments and hearing aid services, with tinnitus cases interspersed. Early in my career in audiology, it was very much like what I envisioned. However, the rapid advancements in audiology over the last decade have dramatically altered my professional trajectory. Tinnitus care has evolved from a peripheral role to a central focus in my practice, presenting exceptional opportunities for patient care. I now offer excellent patient care opportunities and require continuous learning, strategic planning, and the willingness to embrace risks. This shift necessitated a commitment to ongoing education, strategic foresight, and an openness to embracing new challenges.
