Debary, FL. January 3, 2011. audifon hearing system's audiologist, Eunice Straw, M.S., CCC-A recently attended the Tinnitus Practitioners Association (TPA) 2 day Associate Practitioner Certification Training. The course was presented by Natan Bauman, Ed.D., M.S.-Eng, FAAA and Merideth Eldridge, M.A., FAAA, in Orlando, Florida and offered extensive information regarding tinnitus theory, evaluation and management.
Management of patients with tinnitus can be intimidating to some professionals for various reasons, according to the results of a recent audifon survey. As a result, many audiologists are reluctant to engage in tinnitus management. When a patient enters the office with complaint of tinnitus and the professional decides to engage in tinnitus management, including the use of hearing instruments or sound generators, it is important to have access to support resources that are specific to the chosen technology and to the latest fitting strategies and management suggestions.
audifon offers a broad range of tinnitus device options and recognizes the importance of not only providing quality hearing solutions but also providing knowledgeable technical and management support for these instruments. Ms. Straw's completion of the Tinnitus Practitioners Association Associate Certification Training ensures that audifon provides world class support for its products and the professionals who recommend and fit them. audifon is happy to have this resource available and looks forward to serving you!
