Evidence Based Treatment

Evidence Base Treatment What I would say in my own words would be... A way from an Audiologist and our role And our practice Is to, to look at a certain issue to address Whether that be hearing balance or tinnitus To look at the gambit of things to help that person From an assessment standpoint To assess the hearing, balance or tinnitus To look at the solutions to help that person Evidence based assesments or research would be In the general terms would be Looking at the solutions and finding what What evidence or research is behind that piece of equipment Or device that would help this certain issue Such as Neuromonics with their sound um With their sound treatment options With the neuromonics unit to contol tinnitus How many patients have they used it with that We have seen success? With a hearing instrument How do patients hear a noise? How do they hear on the telephone? How do they hear with soft speech? So we look at from a research standing Evidence base would be looking at What do the labs say That is successful in helping As well as we as the clinican As an Audiologist How do we feel we are helping our patients
