TINNITUS

Course overview

Tinnitus is a common auditory condition defined as the perception of noise or a ringing in the ears whether or not external noise is present. Tinnitus is usually medically harmless, but can cause much anxiety and affect concentration. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of tinnitus, including its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
