Many audiologists feel confident in addressing “run of the mill” or low needs tinnitus patients; however\, are uncomfortable with those patients with significant degrees of anxiety/depression/distress\, what we are referring to as the one percent. This webinar will focus on higher level tinnitus treatment to those patients with the greatest difficulties with managing their tinnitus. The difference between motivation and desperation will be discussed. Tools and techniques for working\, establishing critical referral partnerships\, and successfully working with this population of patients will be provided. \nLearning Outcomes: \n1. List factors that contribute to a patient being in a category of “catastrophic” tinnitus distress. \n2. Discuss addressing anxiety/depression\, sleep interruption\, and stress that impact the patient with tinnitus and tools for supporting these patients. \n3. Describe a plan for the audiologist to address potential caregiver fatigue with this population and how to be proactive in addressing these needs. \nRegister Now URL:https://www.audiology.org/event/the-one-percent-working-with-complex-tinnitus-patients/ LOCATION:Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.audiology.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/shutterstock_2490041725-header.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
