New Therapy Options/AAA Presentations

[Guest guest]

I am pleased to announce that there were two presentations at the Amercian

Academy of Audiology held in Boston this past week and week end.

Drs. Pawel Jastreboff and Natan Bauman, presented in seperate sessions, I have

included the descriptions here.

I know the second was about the therapy approach that Dr. Bauman created and

used with 10 patients. He also used some of my data for the session.

This is good news for all of us as 1000s of audiologists attend the AAA

conference as well as read about the sessions and it raises the joint

consciousness level and as a result trickles back to the ENTs, MDs and so on.

All good stuff. We are making headway here.

Decreased Sound Tolerance (Hyperacusis and Misophonia): Theory and Clinical

Practice

Wednesday 3/28/12 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Type: Learning Module

Track: Neuro-Audiology

CEUs: 0.1

Description:

Decreased Sound Tolerance (DST) occurs when a subject exhibits negative

reactions as a result of exposure to sound that would not evoke the same

reactions in the average listener. DST is the result of the summation of the

effect of hyperacusis and misophonia. While at the behavioral level effects of

hyperacusis and misophonia are similar, their mechanisms are distinctively

different and require independent treatments. The diagnosis and TRT treatment of

DST will be presented.

Presenter(s):

Pawel Jastreboff, PhD, ScD, MBA, Emory University

Margaret Jastreboff, PhD, Jastreboff Hearing Disorders Foundation, Inc.

Dr. Bauman's research will also be presented here in the next couple days, I

hope.
