“Do You Hear What I Hear? Understanding Tinnitus Management
The CDC estimates that nearly 50 million Americans experience some form of tinnitus, or ringing in the ears (ata.org). Tinnitus is often likened to a candle in a room: when it’s bright you hardly notice it’s there, but when it’s dark the candle is quite noticeable. There are hundreds of proposed treatment and management strategies for tinnitus: many of which have little scientific evidence backing their efficacy.

In April’s 30-minute webinar, we will explore the theorized etiologies of tinnitus and current evidence-based management strategies. A Zoom link will be sent out to our patients via email and posted to our Facebook page about one week before the event.
Contact our clinic if you would like information or would like to attend: 919-493-7980.

This engaging presentation will offer practical advice for individuals with hearing loss and their communication partners.

Better Hearing Webinar: Considerations for Atypical Hearing Losses
2022-06-01 16:00 - 17:00 | Virtual Event
Don’t miss our next Better Hearing Webinar on Wednesday June 1st at 4:00pm ET on:
Considerations for Atypical Hearing Losses
The two leading causes of hearing loss in adults are age and excessive noise exposure. Both age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) and noise-induced hearing loss lead to high-frequency hearing loss in later adulthood. When fitting hearing aids to a high frequency hearing loss, there are certain strategies employed in both the physical fit as well as how the hearing aids are programmed to the loss. But not everyone has a hearing loss due to age or noise-exposure. In this month’s webinar, Dr. Caitlyn Whitson is going to discuss other types and configurations of hearing losses as well as considerations for those hearing losses that do not fit into the “typical” pattern.

A quick google search online will show you thousands of proposed treatment and management strategies for tinnitus; many of which have little-to-no scientific evidence showing that they work. Please join Nicole Oldrati, 4th year doctoral extern at the UNC HCC, and Dr. Caitlyn Whitson and they discuss that ins and outs of tinnitus and learn what can be done to effectively manage it.
