2. Neurophysiological Model of Tinnitus
3. Audiologic evaluation of patients with tinnitus/hyperacusis
4. First interview (questionnaires, forms, scales)
5. Criteria for selection of patient categories and different treatments
6. Criteria for selection of patient categories and different treatments 2
7. General review
8. Role of the counselor
9. The role of voice therapy
10. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (Tinnitus Retraining TherapyTRT)
11. Rationale for patient follow-up, evaluation criteria of treatment results
12. Specific issues related to Hyperacusis and Misophonia; recruitment
13. How to select and tune instruments
14. Pros and cons of TRT and adjunctive therapies
