Abstract
(Audiologic intervention can address hearing loss, tinnitus, and/or reduced sound tolerance.) It also may be necessary to screen for mental health conditions that could interfere with any efforts to manage tinnitus. Results, along with the hearing assessment, should determine if intervention is needed for tinnitus (usually Level 3 group education), and if intervention for a hearing problem is appropriate. section C includes two questions to screen for reduced sound tolerance (hyperacusis). Any of these strategies become options after about six months of Level 5 management with unsatisfactory results (in alphabetical order): cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Neuromonics tinnitus treatment, tinnitus masking, and tinnitus retraining therapy.
