Abstract: Tinnitus care is changing fast, with new treatments like bimodal stimulation joining established approaches such as sound therapy, CBT, and TRT. This discussion session gives clinicians a chance to share experiences, challenges, and ideas about integrating these options in real-world practice. We’ll talk about barriers like patient access, reimbursement, and clinician comfort, as well as strategies for building confidence and delivering care effectively in overall tinnitus management. Through guided questions and open conversation, participants will explore what works, what doesn’t, and how to balance innovation with tried-and-true tinnitus management approaches.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participant will be able to reflect on how new tinnitus treatments, such as bimodal stimulation, can be integrated with established management approaches including patient and provider access and clinician comfort and confidence in providing these services.
  • Upon completion, participant will be able to discuss real-world barriers related to reimbursement, access, and clinician confidence in providing tinnitus care.
  • Upon completion, participant will be able to share and evaluate strategies to improve comfort, advocacy, and patient-centered delivery of both traditional and emerging tinnitus services.
