Since the first edition was published in 2005, new developments have significantly impacted the treatment paradigm for tinnitus, such as sensory meditation and mindfulness.

Tinnitus Treatment: Clinical Protocols, Second Edition, authored by world-renowned tinnitus experts and distinguished authors Richard S. Tyler and Ann Perreau, offers comprehensive background information, up-to-date strategies, essential tools, and online supplementary materials grounded in years of clinical experience and research. It fills a gap in graduate education and available materials to empower audiologists to effectively treat patients suffering from bothersome to severely debilitating symptoms associated with tinnitus or hyperacusis.
