AUDP 8310 - Tinnitus and Hyperacousis: Theories, Evaluation and Treatment

10 weeks/4 credit hours

This course is designed to provide a detailed exploration of tinnitus and hyperacusis and the clinical tools required to treat this patient population. The topics of musical hallucinations, misophonia, and hidden hearing loss will also be examined. Course topics include etiology, epidemiology, comorbidity, impact on quality of life, and exacerbating factors. The course will also explore pathophysiological mechanisms underlying tinnitus and hyperacusis. Detailed case histories; tinnitus self-assessment questionnaires/inventories; hyperacusis visual analog scales; psychoacoustic measurements and self-report measures of stress, anxiety and depression will be explored. Students will learn evidenced-based audiological interventions related to tinnitus and hyperacusis treatment and management including counseling, amplification, and comprehensive management programs through the review of case studies.
