Description:
Clinical
services for tinnitus have expanded greatly since the
“masking” method was introduced in the 1970s, but no one
treatment method has proven any more effective than any other. This webinar
will explain Tinnitus Stepped-Care, a framework for providing tinnitus clinical
services. The framework suggests guiding principles that are essential in each
of six progressive steps of tinnitus clinical care rather than promoting
specific procedures for assessment and treatment.
Learning
Outcomes

- List the six steps of Tinnitus
Stepped-Care

James A. Henry, PhD, CCC-A, is an audiologist with a doctorate in
behavioral neuroscience. His 6 years earning his doctorate under the mentorship
of Dr. Mary Meikle at the Oregon Hearing Research Center (OHRC, Dr. Jack Vernon
was Director) ignited a passionate interest in conducting tinnitus research.
During his professional career of over 35 years, he received funding of $28
million as principal or co-principal investigator for 43 projects and grants.
He has authored over 250 publications, including more than 140 articles in
peer-reviewed journals and eight books about tinnitus. He gave lectures and
presentations nationally and internationally. His accomplishments resulted in
numerous awards, including the Veterans Affairs (VA) Rehabilitation Research
and Development 2016 Paul B. Magnuson Award (“the highest honor for
VA rehabilitation investigators”) and the Jerger Career Award for
Research in Audiology from the American Academy of Audiology Honors Committee.
Dr. Henry, who retired in 2022, continues to give lectures and training
workshops, serves as an expert consultant, and has maintained his role as
editor-at-large for the American Tinnitus Association’s journal
Tinnitus Today. His primary interest, however, is writing
books about tinnitus, sound-hypersensitivity conditions, and hearing
loss.
