Registrations for RECORDINGS of our September 2024 Rise & Grind breakfast webinar are now available! Open to all, with discounted access for IAA members and subscribers. Join us for a practical and insightful breakfast webinar that will boost your confidence in an often-daunting clinical scenario for time-poor but caring Audiologists: supporting patients with troublesome tinnitus. In this session, we are delighted to host not one but two leaders in the field of tinnitus rehabilitation. Paula Sieradzki is a psychologist with extensive experience in both corporate settings and private practice. She has a particular interest in tinnitus and its management, and is the co-developer of an online CBT-based rehabilitation tool called Tune Out. Myriam Westcott is an Audiologist and Director of DWM Audiology, and is a valued member and past President of Independent Audiologists Australia. Myriam specialises in tinnitus, hyperacusis, acoustic shock, tensor tympani syndrome (TTS) and misophonia understanding, evaluation and therapy. This session provides practical insights into how person-centred care for patients experiencing troublesome tinnitus can still be prioritised in a generalist clinic setting - even with limited clinical time, you can offer these sometimes anxious or angry patients validation, hope, and a pathway forward. While digital health tools like Tune Out don't negate the need to refer for or provide specialist Audiology and/or Psychology support, they can represent a bridge to these services, or complement a specialist tinnitus program when appropriate.
